Nvidia will bring RTX 2060, 2070 and 2080 GPUs to laptops from January 29th

Nvidia announced during CES that it will also release its GeForce RTX GPUs for laptops. More than forty models will be on the shelves from January 29. Seventeen of these will be equipped with a Max-Q variant.

During the announcement, Nvidia did not know what the exact specifications of the GPUs are. In the previous, ‘Pascal’ generation of laptop GPUs, the manufacturer used the same chips for most GPUs as the desktop, but with lower clock speeds in order not to develop too much heat in a laptop chassis. According to previous rumors, Nvidia would do that again with this generation. This concerns laptop versions of the RTX 2080, 2070 and the RTX 2060 announced in the same presentation.

The manufacturer also announced that there will be a Max-Q version of every laptop GPU. These chips develop less heat due to a lower clock speed and are therefore intended for thin laptops. Nvidia also announced that the MSI GS65 will at least get an RTX 2080 GPU, with which more than 60fps should be achieved in Battlefield V, with ray tracing enabled.

The first laptops with RTX video card have already been announced. For example, Dell is equipping its thin Alienware m15 and m17 with the new GPUs and the HP Omen 15 will also be equipped with it. In addition to those manufacturers, Acer, Asus, Gigabyte, Lenovo, MSI, Razer and Samsung will also provide laptops with the RTX GPUs.
