Nvidia Unveils RTX Studio For Desktop-Style Performance on Laptops (venturebeat.com) 47

Nvidia today unveiled the tech behind new RTX Studio laptops, which can provide desktop-level computing performance for laptop users. From a report: Aimed at creators, the machines are targeted at independent artists who are fueling growing fields like social media, digital advertising, and 3D development. Nvidia says these laptops can deliver up to seven times the performance of a MacBook Pro. The 17 new laptop models from seven manufacturers, powered by a range of Nvidia GeForce and Quadro RTX graphics processing units (GPUs). The ultra-long battery life and stability when using newly developed Nvidia Studio Drivers.

The Laptops that meet the highest qualifications for creative capabilities will be badged RTX Studio. That will help creators to easily identify the right hardware to meet their demands. These Quadro and GeForce RTX-based laptops are purpose-built for GPU-accelerated content creation. The laptops feature the new Quadro RTX 5000 mobile GPU and GeForce RTX 2080, 2070 and 2060 GPUs. Quadro RTX 5000-based laptops are the world's first with 16GB of graphics memory, enabling advanced multi-app creative workflows and use of large 3D models that previously were not possible while on the go, Nvidia said. [...] RTX Studio laptops will be available starting in June from top computer makers, including Acer, Asus, Dell, Gigabyte, HP, MSI, and Razer. Pricing starts at $1,600 and will vary based on partner designs, features, and region.

    • Slashdot is officially dying. Not only are about 80% of the posts hitting the front page slashvertisements, but the site is badly broken. In order to even post this comment, I had to delete the hostname off the front of the story URL and drop it back to just slashdot.org. Otherwise I get a broken theme that doesn't work instead of the classic view as I have requested in settings. Looks like journals have been fixed, so story submission probably still works, so that's nice. That stuff stayed broken for quite

      You seem to be new-ish here :-), but indeed it is, and they're likely to become more prevalent. Has anyone else noticed that the frequency of Slashdot posts has increased in recent months? They are desperate to remain relevant - that ship sailed - and think that more frequent posts is one key to doing so. There's probably a lot of filler on the horizon.

    • You don't expect a news for nerds site to cover press releases or unvealings for nerds by a company known well to nerds? Maybe you need to find yourself a different site and not a news aggregator.

  • It's no accident Nvidia called out the MacBook Pro, and it's not just because those systems are targeted at the same content creators as Nvidia's RTX Studio. Nvidia has been persona non grata at One Infinite Loop ever since Apple had some QC issues with Nvidia chips back in 2008. Apple has paid a dear price for being an AMD-only shop, both in terms of uncompetitive GFX performance and much higher power consumption.
    • What's the single thread performance of the CPU?

      • I love macs but I also like to use GPUs, and so far it seems Nvidia is the better GPU. I'm surprised there's no good options for me since Macs tend to target visual professionals. Anyone know why apple doesn't offer Nvidia GPU models?

        • I thought I remembered something about an nVidia press release or reveal or something leaking something about an Apple release date, but I may have every detail of that story which I can remember completely wrong

      Saying your laptop more powerful than an Apple Macbook is like saying your car is faster than Timmy's ten speed bike.
    • AMD upped their game yesterday with the new RDNA architecture [wccftech.com] on 7nm. Apparently, 1.5X better power efficiency.

      Where is NVidia with 7nm, hmm? Radeon VII was already a shot across the bow, now RDNA is a torpedo below the water line.

      Nvidia also lie. They say the Nvidia Shield TV is the best Andriod TV device, they lied, it is bad and can not reliably stream, must be rebooted all the time. Full of nasty shortcuts, like no on off switch, must be unplugged. One update, the deleted the feedback button on the menu, they know the device is shite and they want no more feedback. Post sale allow ads to be forced on by Google, turn them off, they turn it back on, every reboot, had to block the app entirely, Google Play Store blocked to prevent a

  • modern laptop GPUs are a lot more power efficient so that might help, but back in the day folks I knew who bought gaming laptops replaced them every 2 or 3 years because the GPUs got hot and the circuit boards warped. Sooner or later a ram chip came out of socket and that was that. You could put 'em in the over but that usually only got you a couple months. The less scrupulous would put them on ebay.

      I use nothing but "gaming" level laptops (really just powerful laptops, with real GPUs, I don't that lighted-keyboard-shite).

      I've only ever lost them to two things - broken hinges, broken screens.

      My current one is about 8 years old, does get incredibly hot, but I've only ever replaced the keyboard once (non-heat related issue), the battery (pure lifetime of the battery), and the PSU (because the battery wasn't taking charge for a long time and it overloaded the PSU).

      P.S. this machine is on almost 24-7 for t

      My gaming laptops have been fine. Although I use a cooling pad for them.

      Sure, it's inconvenient and noisy. It also protects expensive hardware and allows the flexibility and benefits of using a laptop.

  • I hope Dell makes theirs part of Project Sputnik [dell.com].
  • My main beef is that Windowed GL (Quadro) requires a different driver set than full screen gaming (GeForce). From what I understand, and correct me if I'm wrong, there's very little difference in the hardware. I'd like for my Solidworks machine to be the same as my gaming machine in the future. What would it take for that to happen? One graphics chipset should be able to do everything at this point.

    The main issue with laptops for performance is heat. If they can't dissipate the heat, they'll thrott

  • Top kek.

    They must be talking about units sold and not build quality.

  • So they are saying there will be laptops with beefed up GPUs that are still relatively weak when compared to the top of the line desktop GPUs but will empty your battery in no time.
