Geforce RTX 2050 and MX500 tested in 3DMark

Last Friday, NVIDIA announced its new GPUs dedicated to the world of notebooks: GeForce RTX 2050, MX570 and MX550. The first, part of the GeForce RTX 20 line, features RT Core, Tensor Core and NVIDIA Encoder to take advantage of all the company's cutting-edge technologies, such as ray tracing, DLSS, Reflex and Broadcast. Additionally, the GeForce RTX 2050 is fully compatible with NVIDIA Optimus technology to ensure the perfect balance between long battery life and optimum performance. The other two, on the other hand, are designed to offer greater capabilities in areas such as photo and video editing in laptops compared to iGPUs, without obviously neglecting gaming as well.

Apparently the RTX 2050 and MX570 offer very close performance, at least according to this test. After all, the two have similar technical characteristics, even if the RT cores should have some limitations on the MX model. Furthermore, the RTX 2050 has higher frequencies and a greater amount of memory (4GB compared to the 2GB of the MX570). The MX550, on the other hand, is a sort of less powerful version of the GeForce RTX 1650, based on the Turing TU117 GPU, of which it retains the 1,024 CUDA cores, but the memory bus width has been reduced to 64 bits.

GeForce RTX 2050, MX570 and MX550 will debut on the market next spring.
