Laptops? Any chance this will work? The 4050, 4060, and 4070 laptop GPUs are voltage limited. Even though their TDP is set to 140W, they only run ~100W, at stay at low temperatures. An extra 40W might help a lot. Flashing a desktop bios could work.... ?

Not sure why you believe 3nm will be better. Nvidia is just gaming the lack of competition plus the post crypto hangover for $$$. You get a big boost at the high end with the 4080 and 4090, but you pay big bucks too. In the midrange we get suped up 30, 40, 50 series chips called the 4050, 4060...

I'd call it the limit rather than "sweet spot". 4060 and 4070 are not much different. If you look at the graph above (post #11), there is only a 7% gain going from 90W to 115W on the 4070. Performance/W ratio only ~25%. And at the tail end it's right near the limit.

Nvidia's TDP values for the RTX 4050, 4060 and 4070 Laptop do not matter for gaming https://www.notebookcheck.net/Nvidia-s-TDP-values-for-the-RTX-4050-4060-and-4070-Laptop-do-not-matter-for-gaming.698161.0.html "If you are interested in a gaming laptop with a RTX 4060 Laptop or even RTX 4070...

I noticed that also. It's strange to see this in laptop GPUs but... these are very low spec cards on efficient nodes run at high clock speeds to get performance... so bottlenecks occur before the power is maxed out, I guess. I'd like to see what could be achieved with UV and OC. The biggest...

Earlier there was a thread about the 4060 being the same as the 4060m. https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4060-possibly-maxes-out-ad107-nvidias-smallest-ada-silicon.304757/page-4 For the midrange in this gen we get DLSS3 and frame generation, basically. Everything...

Another test. Full power (140W) 4070 Gigabyte Aorus laptop is beaten in gaming by last years Legion 5i Pro with a 3070 Ti: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gigabyte-aorus-15x

Thanks, I obviously hit the wrong button....:p This shows the huge difference between the 4060 and 4070 vs the 4080 and 4090. Just a massive gap. It would be nice to see the 4050 at higher power also, but it looks like it will be even closer to 4060 than the 4070 is.

They want me to pay... Could you summarize, or post a graphic here?

The 4050m, 4060m, and 4070m were just introduced yesterday... and they all basically suck. 4080m and 4090m (introduced a couple weeks ago) are both well ahead of any mobile GPUs that have existed (though very expensive)... but... The 4070m is struggling to match the 3070m and 3070Ti at the...

Benchmark leak of a full power 4060 laptop, with a high end processor (13900HX). Performance is between desktop 3060 12gb and 3060 Ti.... or close to RX 6650 XT level. Those are going for $250. 3060s are $350, now...

Just the facts. AMD has two latest gen cards that are more expensive than 4070 Ti. Both are a little better in raw performance, but well behind in features like ray tracing and frame generation. They lowered the price when 4070 Ti was introduced, because they had to if they wanted to sell any...

4070 laptop also. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-4070-mobile.c3944

They did it because they had no competition. Same thing here. You can blame AMD as they are not keeping up the pressure on Nvidia.

"Kopite7kimi, a reliable source with NVIDIA leaks, says that the RTX 4060 has specs which align with the full-spec AD107, with 3,072 CUDA cores across 24 streaming multiprocessors (SM), 96 Tensor cores, 96 TMUs, an unknown ROP count, and 8 GB of 18 Gbps GDDR6 memory. The GPU's on-die L2 cache is...
