offer RTX 2060-equipped laptops, and Nvidia
expects the GPU to become even more
popular at this lower price point.
Finally, the non-Super GeForce RTX 2070
will be sticking around, but in much cheaper
notebooks. Nvidia says this GPU will now
appear in laptops starting at $1,199 to
$1,299—what those less-potent RTX 2060
laptops cost until today.
All told, this will be the biggest mobile
GeForce launch ever for Nvidia, with more
than 100 laptop designs expected, coming
from every single laptop maker. (That
number’s a bit wiggly, however, as we’ll likely
see 100+ laptops with GeForce paired with
Intel and AMD’s new notebook CPUs, while
only the RTX Super chips are truly new from
Nvidia.) Better yet, Nvidia says that every
single RTX laptop will support 144Hz display
options, and over 25 notebooks with
blisteringly fast 300Hz screens are on the
way.
NVIDIA MAX-Q GETS EVEN
MORE POWER-EFFICIENT
But wait, there’s more! These 100+ new
laptop designs should be even more efficient
than previous GeForce-packing laptops—
even previous RTX laptops—thanks to
improvements made to Nvidia’s Max-Q
technology.
Nvidia introduced Max-Q several years
ago with the mobile GeForce GTX 10-series
lineup. Max-Q technology was pivotal in
