Nvidia explains that the term Max-Q is inspired by astronomy, when spacecraft are at their maximum dynamic pressure. But for computers, the Max-Q technology means reducing the thickness and weight of the laptop to make it quieter and more energy efficient compared to conventional laptops.
The new technology is an advanced thermal design for laptops that have high-performance NVIDIA Geforce GTX or Geforce RTX class discrete GPUs. Laptops with the MaxQ design also existed with 1060/1070/1080 maxQ cards, but they were of course developed with the new generation to offer better performance than before.
This design combines heat-absorbing tubes and new heat exchangers, and requires the presence of specific hardware equipment in the power circuit responsible for passing the electrical current to the GPU, in addition to the software control unit through the basic driver definition.
This way, if you are looking for a laptop dedicated to running modern games at the highest graphic settings, but you are afraid of bad gaming PC features, such as thick thickness, heavy weight and loud fans, then you can rely on Nvidia cards that support Max-Q technology.
The primary purpose of this technology is to improve both laptop cooling systems, enhance their energy efficiency, handle intense workloads, and run modern games on 4K resolution.
How does Max-Q technology work
Graphics cards supporting Max-Q technology are designed to be ready for the slim laptop segment, thanks to the new thermal design of the graphics card and its cooling methods, in addition to the power circuit and the software control unit. This means that this class of GPUs requires less voltage, uses less power, and operates at lower temperatures compared to conventional laptops.
There is no doubt that the supporting laptops still need strong cooling methods, but computer manufacturers must pay close attention and focus on creating high-quality and expensive cooling methods, and this includes heat absorbing tubes and heat dissipators for the GPU. s Heatsinks, in addition to the VRM power circuit components such as capacitors, transistor and PWM voltage regulator, and of course, high-quality and quieter cooling fans More efficient and Quieter Fans.
What are the advantages of Max-Q technology?
But Max-Q technology did not come empty-handed, but was able to bring with it many new features and features for laptops, and on top of these features Nvidia has created an advanced pattern for Dynamic Boost technology, which puts both the graphics processor chip and the central processor in a unified work environment and under the burden New thermal system.
Dynamic Boost for Max-Q technology means allowing the GPU to consume higher power rates at 15 watts to boost performance levels by 10 percent, in order to achieve higher frame counts within modern gaming titles with more complex graphics.
Dynamic Boost technology is activated automatically without any manual intervention, when the CPU faces a light workload that does not require its full effort, especially the central processor group that contains a large number of cores and many processing resources.
But this is not all, thanks to the design of Max-Q, NVIDIA was able to develop Advanced Optimus Technology, which works to improve the efficiency of laptop computers, and this by relying on the integrated graphic processing unit in the central processor only instead of a separate graphic card in some light work situations, For example, browsing times, watching videos, or running light applications, and this way, the percentage of energy consumption and working at low temperatures will be reduced.
