Nvidia MX 250 and MX 230 mobile graphics have been confirmed by Nvidia these will powering thin and light notebooks in the upcoming months. We were expecting these graphics solutions to be based on the Turing architecture but that is not the case. These graphics cards are based on the Pascal architecture.
The Nvidia MX 250 and MX 230 mobile graphics do not use the new GDDR6 memory either. They still use the GDDR5 memory which the older Pascal video cards. This might seem like a step people for some people keeping in mind that the MX 130 was based on the Maxwell architecture.
The Nvidia MX 230 delivers 2.6 times the performance of the Intel UHD 620 integrated graphics and the Nvidia MX 250 delivers 3.5 times the performance. Even though we expected to see some next level performance, it is similar to the MX 100 series and even worse in some cases if we look into the information that Nvidia has provided.
The MX 150 actually performs better than the MX 250 from the information that Nvidia has provided. This could be some kind of a type. We are not sure at this point. Stay tuned for more information.
It is worth mentioning that these graphics solutions were launched very quietly and Nvidia did not really make any kind of special announcement. This is not the first time that we have heard about this graphics solution. The Nvidia MX 250 mobile graphics were spotted in an HP device a few weeks back and more recently we spotted the graphics solution in the MSI Prestige laptop.
Nvidia is also working on releasing the GTX series graphics card. We thought that the GTX 1660 Ti will perform similar to the RTX 2060 but that is not the case. It performs similarly to the GTX 1070 instead.
Let us know what you think about Nvidia MX 250 and MX 230 mobile graphics and whether or not this is something that you are interested in.
