This week, NVIDIA upped its efforts in the gaming market with one big announcement. The company has just announced plans to put their top gaming chips inside mobility platforms. This means that the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards would soon be making its presence in the highly lucrative laptop market with the same configuration as the GeForce desktop variant.

NVIDIA Fights Back

NVIDIA's Arch-rival AMD has recently shut down NVIDIA out of the console market by providing custom APUs for the top gaming consoles in the market: PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Revenues from those gaming chips have played a key role in AMD's return over the past year. Today, NVIDIA is making a strong comeback, starting with the laptop market

The Santa Clara-based NVIDIA has already offered desktop grade GeForce 10 series GPUs in the mobility market. The company's core gaming chips, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 is currently the fastest laptop graphics solutions on the mobility market. The GeForce GTX 1080 features the same specifications and performance as the desktop variant. But the move to a laptop would be a big story.

NVIDIA has been working on an MXM board that said to utilize the GP102 GPU. Based on the overall specs, this is confirmed to be the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics chip but for laptops. NVIDIA is no stranger when it comes to notebook or laptop solutions. The company has already done some works for notebook solutions in the past. But today it's making a big story, NVIDIA might be placing much bigger muscles on laptops, VideoCardz reported.

In terms of graphics performance, the mobility version of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti could blow GTX 1080 desktop variant away. In addition, the company may also devise the new mobility chips with some sort of brute GPU Boost algorithm, making the new GPU more sustainable in terms of power consumption for a laptop.

Based on the Videocardz's posted images, the new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti for a laptop would feature the exact same GPU configuration as a desktop variant with 3584 CUDA cores. The NVIDIA graphic chips were featured on Clevo laptop, which owns by the OEM/ODM computer manufacturer Clevo. The hardware company has been known in the IT circle for producing some really good laptop designs. The Clevo laptop features an Intel Core i7-7700K desktop processor on board. It also packs a 64 GB of DDR4 memory and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti mobility for GPU performance. To learn more about the works made on Clevo laptop, check out the Notebook Review Forum.

As for the release date, NVIDIA still has no official words about its launch date. This also means that gamers would be looking at months rather than weeks before they can see the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti in laptops.
