After the official announcement of the cards by Nvidia, here are the first benchmarks of its cards on 3DMark TimeSpy.
A modest performance increase for the new Nvidia cards
A few days ago, Nvidia made an unexpected announcement by releasing 3 new laptop cards, namely the RTX 2050 and MX570 based on Ampere architecture and the MX550 using Turing, with the aim of offering new entry-level references.
Today, a zhihu user was able to test the new cards, which offer a small performance increase compared to previous low-end notebook cards.
First the MX 550 based on the TU117 chip (used on the MX 450 and 1650/1650 Ti), share almost the same characteristics as the 1650/1650 Ti with 1024 cuda cores, 4 GB GDDR6 but on a bus reduced to 64 bits, thus reducing performance.
Then we have the RTX 2050 using the GA107 chip as for the MX 570 with also characteristics close to the RTX 3050 with 2048 cuda cores and 4 GB GDDR6, but again having a bus reduced by half to 64 bits.
In terms of performance, the two cards tested on 3Dmark TimeSpy would get 2510 and 3369 points respectively, the MX 550 would be 10% faster than the MX 450, the RTX 2050 would have a performance very slightly higher than the GTX 1650/1650 Ti.
For a comparison with its big sister, the RTX 3050 scores around 4800 points on TimeSpy, or 42% more performance, thanks to the memory bus increased to 128 bits instead of 64.
These new graphics cards will arrive in the spring to compete with the Alchemist GPU from Intel and the Rembrandt APU from AMD.
