Nvidia to make laptops as powerful as gaming desktops

Nvidia has announced that it has created gaming notebook versions of its new graphics cards based on the Pascal architecture which includes the GeForce GFX 1060, GeForce GFX 1070 and GeForce GFX 1080. — TNS

For years, Nvidia has been making graphics cards for two gaming categories. The Santa Clara, California-based company has built beefy graphics chips for the desktop that push out bleeding edge visuals on PCs. But when it comes to laptops, Nvidia has made comparable chips with the same architecture, but the constraints of the platform have forced the company to tone down the power.

That ended recently as Nvidia announced that it has created gaming notebook versions of its new graphics cards based on the Pascal architecture. In essence, the GTX 10-series, which includes the GeForce GFX 1060, GeForce GFX 1070 and GeForce GFX 1080, are coming to laptops in their full glory. The move promises a big boost in power when compared to the notebooks with the 900M chips.
