https://wccftech.com/nvidia-preparing-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-max-q-design/ >Something pretty interesting popped up at Videocardz recently. NVIDIA has apparently let slip the existence of the GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti Max-Q design in their latest linux changelog. This would mean the company is preparing to roll out the lineup soon and will be pitting it against the Kaby Lake G lineup’s RX Vega M GL. Since the name of the game is power efficiency and Max-Q is all about maximizing the thermal and power envelop, we expect it to be fairly competitive. >The change was spotted in the linux display driver released earlier this month and lists not only the MX 130 and MX 110 (lower powered variants of the 150) but the 1050 Ti with Max-Q design as well. To those who remember Max-W is NVIDIA’s design philosophy involving constrained TDP settings. Max-Q technology has previously been used in an ultraportable gaming notebook to reduce the GPU power consumption by half.
