my coverage of Computex 2017 is brought to you by MSI EVGA Tesoro g.skill and Coolermaster hey guys welcome back to my Computex 2017 coverage I have traveled over to here to the height where Nvidia is shacked up because they have a new thing it's called max cue technology that they're integrating into their their notebooks or video doesn't make notebooks it makes graphics cards but max q is sort of a collaboration a set of standards so Nvidia can work with the notebook manufacturers to make laptops they can game on with like GTX 10 70s and 10 80s that are super quiet but still give you a extremely adequate gaming experience so the actual definition of Max Q comes from NASA and it's their definition of the point at which the aerodynamic stress on a rocket in atmospheric flight is maximized so what is it when it comes to invidious implementation basically it's kind of like a new Ultrabook standard but not from Intel it's a standard from Nvidia it's to work with laptop manufacturers to produce 18 to 19 millimeter thick gaming notebooks that actually have decent gaming performance and that don't sound like jet engines under load so I've got some slides to share with you guys but I'm going to try not to dwell on the Nvidia marketing stuff because they say stuff like up to 70% more gaming performance and they have graphs where the y-axis doesn't start at 0 and I don't like that but what I thought of when they described this was min maxing like back in the Diablo or World of Warcraft days min maxing for notebooks they're doing it by using every means possible to improve airflow and cooling within these 18 millimeters thick notebooks and that's a pretty tough job when you're using a full-fat gtx 1070 or 1080 in there it's even more difficult when you have to meet max-q standards at Nvidia histep which means it has to stay below 41 DBA while gaming so very very quiet the demo notebook that they showed us for this purpose was the asus zephyrus that's an rog laptop it's 18 millimeters thick it's got a GTX 1080 inside and 120 Hertz g-sync monitor so trick one that max Q notebooks will use is unique cooling solutions and for the Zephyrus it was a hinged design on the back of the notebook it opens up the underside of the laptop when the screen is open so that allows a lot more airflow into the GPU the power to every and other components trick to is to use high quality power delivery components and that will pretty much cut down or minimize waste heat and trick three is going to be a set of optimized game settings that you'll be able to access with GeForce experience Nvidia says they already have 400 games that are set up and they're going to be adding more in the future the idea is to find that perfect point on the performance versus power usage scale and always have the laptop play right there which sounds like a pretty good idea in theory and once these laptops actually get in the hands of reviewers we'll see how it plays out in practice one final option from XQ notebooks is whisper mode and this is an even quieter mode that reduces power consumption even more for sub 40 DBA gameplay which means in most environments with a noise floor above 40 DBA you won't even hear the notebooks at all for whisper mode they use frame rate targeting in the 40 to 60 frames per second range so it's a priority in this case is on quiet gaming versus performance other than that Asus notebook they also had a cleveo p9 50 which is 19 millimeters thick with a gtx 1070 and an msi gs70 terse stick with the gtx 1070 i'm going to have max cue gaming notebooks available from all their major notebook partner OMS worldwide starting on June 27th guys it's going to wrap it up for this video I'd like to thank my sponsors for Computex 2017 once again MSI EVGA G scale Tesoro and coolermaster it's thumbs up button if you enjoyed the video leave me a comment in the comment section and of course subscribe if you want to see more coverage from Computex we'll see you in the next one
