Do the nvidia MX series cards need to exist

[DarkDragon2K04]

The nvidia MX series were made so laptops could have cheap dedicated GPUs that were efficient. Neither the mx150 or 250 did tat. The laptops with the mx series cards were not gaming capable and were expensive. Now with the 1660ti and 1650 graphics card for laptops they are both powerful and cheap. The 1660ti is more powerful than the gtx 1070 yet you can get 1660ti laptops from $850 and far less for the 1650 laptops. With this the mx series cards do not need to exist. For those people who say they need the mx series cards for very light graphics work that intel's integrated gpus cant give I say buy a laptop with an AMD ryzen. The most powerful ryzen for laptops is the ryzen 7 3750h and you can get the laptops from around $800 up. AMD partners like asus and HP make well finished laptops with ryzen cpus.

MX150 does have a place for the pricepoint... at least here in Brazil machines running 1080p panels with an i5 8250U and MX150 makes for great value decent enough laptops...

No, I got my laptop for 450$(new that is). It is the Acer aspire 5 with an i5 7200u and an mx150, there was a 1TB hard drive, I just put a cheap120GB SSD in it and bam I can play overwatch at 1080p 60FPS on low-medium settings on it. I'll be using this until I get my PC.

the mx are overpriced and the 16 series cards give far more bang for your buck

just because it is in your region doesn't mean it's the same on other parts of the world

>Not gaming capable

The MX150 runs light titles fine at 1080p 60 FPS. Not sure why you think MX cards are not capable of gaming.

>Expensive

A lot of budget laptops have MX150 graphics, not sure why you think those are expensive.

Give a few examples of overpriced laptops with MX150 graphics.

This has a 7th gen intel core cpu and a hard drive. The asus zephyrus G GA5012 has the ryzen 7 3750h(12nm),16gb ddr4 ram, 512 nvme ssd, 120hz display and an nvidia gtx 1660ti max q all for the price of $1200 and has expandable ram. The razer blade stealth on the other hand has 16gb ram ddr4 non expandable, 512gb nvme ssd, intel core i7 8565u(14nm) 60hz display for a price of $1900 at release

its not for every part of the world, pls. in my country heck even a MX is very expensive, not that different than RX560X or 1050 with i5 8250U or i7 8300U

What do you mean? He said the mx150 can't be used to game at all. I just proved him wrong, plus you can get these laptops for cheap now.

The razer blade stealth

HP envy x360

Hp spectre x360

 

I am refering to the mx150 laptops with at least 512 gb nvme ssd, 16gb ram and intel core i7 8565u not those ones with 128 gb ssd or 512 gb hard drive and 8gb ddr3 ram you guys are talking about.

[Midniteb0ne]

The prices are different in all parts of the world, it depends on where you are from.

I am making a very good point. The gtx 1660ti gives far more power we all know that and is coming at sub $800 accordint to nvidia and this is with either intel core 8th gen cpus or amd ryzen 3000 cpus

I said they cant play triple A games while the gtx 16 series laptops can and the mx series laptops were not cheap at release meanwhile the gtx 16 series laptops are cheap from release

if you take price into other countries, the results is not the same. But for performance wise i said it is better of with 1660(Ti)

Dude, I didn't even quote you. I quoted the OP. What are you talking about?

You haven't given prices or models, so that list is completely useless. And how would we know what you're referring to if you don't tell us?

When did MX150 laptops first come to the market? And when was the 1160 Ti released? It makes sense that there are still laptops on the market with MX150 graphics, and that people are buying them.

You never said AAA games.

The gtx 16 series cards give far more bang for the buck most especially when you use the prices at launch to make decisions.

If I want to play AAA I'll just use the desktop, with the very little time I have at hand I barely get the luxury to "play on the go" thingy.. the MX150 is sufficient to make a spotless 1080p experience for a mobile device at a cheaper price tag for other 'chores'.

I am speaking of the top spec razer blade stealth and I think someone here needs to have a look at the ROG zephyrus G GA502

There are people who don't have space for a desktop or just don't want it

What you keep failing to understand here is that just because a product isn't FOR YOU it does not mean the product shouldn't exist altogether.

 

If that ROG Zephyr is a better option for your needs great, it does not mean it's the best option to everyone else, nor is that model even widely available outside US.
