The successor to the Nvidia GeForce MX450 mobile GPU has just been spotted on a benchmarking platform. The GeForce MX550 is the next gen entry level mobile GPU from the company, which apparently beats its predecessor by a 15 percent margin.
The upcoming graphics card was spotted on known benchmarking platform Geekbench and was first reported by ITHome (Via NotebookCheck). The original report talks about an unidentified Nvidia graphics card that features 2GB of VRAM, which is equipped on a Lenovo laptop that also sports the Alder Lake 12 core 16 thread Intel i7-1260P processor. This yet to be officially released GPU scored 39000 points in Geekbench’s OpenCL benchmark that puts it at a 15 percent lead over the MX450.
Interestingly, the benchmarks also showcases that this GPU is comparable to the mobile GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card. Other notable aspects include a GA107 architecture, which is the same that powers the GeForce RTX 3050, and 2GB of VRAM. Although, this begs the question on whether or not Team Green plans on allowing Ray Tracing on such an entry level card. Although, it would seem more practical if the company enables its DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) technology that will better allow notebooks to offer a smoother gaming experience on current gen titles.
