ASUS Publishes Full GeForce RTX 3000 Series Laptop GPU Specifications Including TGP and Frequency

On a request from Tweakers, ASUS has decided to reveal full GPU specifications for the entire laptop GPU lineup. Having NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3000 series GPUs in their laptops, companies were not committed to listing the TGP and whatever the GPU inside was a Max-Q or Max-P variant. That would confuse the average consumer and a GPU variant they got could be significantly slower than what they have expected. So to clear up the confusion, ASUS has decided to provide us with the table of GPU TGPs and frequencies found inside the company's laptops. Not only has ASUS published a table of TGPs and frequencies, but the company has also updated its website to reflect the exact TDP and exact frequency of any GPU used in a laptop to avoid any confusion and give consumers reassurance in their purchase. You can find the table of laptops with their exact GPU TGP and GPU clock speeds below.

150w.....

What magical cooling does it have to sustain that?

A fat laptop with beefy heatsinks and loud fans should be able to handle that. The mobile 2080/2080S were in that range. Or, like the Flow X13/XG Mobile, an external portable dock with the beefy GPU cooler and loud fan tucked inside of that instead.

ValantarSeriously? Wow, mining must be massively profitable at the moment if that makes sense for them.
It is. it's still a long term game for miners, i made $20 last night off my 3090 on a whim - since i paid its price just for games, any return on that investment is pure profit. Certain settings are showing $20 Au a day

Less than 6 months to recoup the initial cost, not bad.

If you don't have pay electricity that is.

to call these "mobile" is laughable. how long exactly can a 130W GPU play a game on battery power?

They do pretty well actually, around 6 hours.

Yes, thank you for this. Much easier to judge

The Quim ReaperWhy bother...if you've already decided to buy anything with the Asus badge on it, you've already accepted that you're going to get ripped off with higher prices for no good reason.
Except that they're hugely undercutting MSI.

Like, I paid $2,699 for a ASUS STRIX SCAR.

Ryzen 5900HX
165 Hz QHD IPS

The components between the two laptops are the same besides that, MSI instead has:

i7-10870H
300 hz 1080P IPS

The MSI costs $2,899

Oh wow.

So there is literally ONE laptop that can extract optimal performance from an RTX 3080M. IF all other stars are aligned and you somehow magically don't have any noteworthy CPU load.

I see six models at 150 W or more?

Edit: Yeah, one has a an external GPU.

What? Where do you see that? The XG Mobile is listed at 150W, everything else is 130 or less.

My first post.
MatsHere are at least some of the prices. I'm not sure if all prices are known at this point.

ASUS has only one model that has TGP 150 for a 3080. Its in your own link that matches up perfectly with the spec sheet in the OP.

I think you read past ASUS, yes other brands also have one or two models.

Bottom line, '3080' tells you exactly nothing. TGP tells you exactly nothing. Only the combination might provide some semblance of an idea of performance in gaming. IF the CPU isn't pulling away everything your power brick can provide, that is.

Oh man, I'm so going to enjoy not buying laptops again :D And they dare ask north of 4K for some of these devices too! Wow. Inferior GPUs on an inferior node with six layers of smoke & mirrors at 2-3x the price of a desktop equivalent. I suppose in some world this is acceptable. Damn. Not even my 10 foot pole wants to touch this :roll:

I didn't know this was an ASUS exclusive thread. Also, I have no idea if they'll launch more models.

Yeah there's another one up now for multiple brands but this one says it in the title.

I forgot about the tread title a long time ago lol.

I'd guess it's not a complete list. The Strix SCAR 17 isn't even listed.

I wouldn't think most of these laptops use those fancy power budget sharing systems, though I might be wrong. I'd expect that for thin(ish)-and-light(ish) gaming laptops, but nothing even remotely value-oriented or performance-oriented. So the only way CPU load should affect GPU TGP is if the cooling system isn't capable of handling GPU TGP heat output + CPU PL2 heat output. Which is of course possible, but then it isn't really related to the GPU or its specs.

I was about to ask if you had forgotten which thread you were in, but apparently that was already asked and answered :laugh:

Yeah, I know lol. It was Vayras "So there is literally ONE laptop..." reply that got to me.
You know, as if no other brands even existed, in a very non-PC kind of way.. :D

I guess the best part of it is that the 150W listing isn't even a laptop, but a potable GPU dock :roll:
