    Hi! I think we should make a guide about TDP (Thermal Design Power) of the GPUs. :)

    I'm watching so many people asking for thin and light laptops with a powerfull hardware (gtx1070/gtx1080) but they don't know consequences for that. A powerful gpu needs a good cooling system and there isn't enough space for it in a thin laptop. Thermal issues are really important for a thin laptop with a powerful hardware and thermal throttling can easily increase with a drop in performances.

    What are values for each Nvidia / Amd gpu? where can I find right values for that?

    heatsink, heatpipes and fan.

    Ask someone to dump their vbios then view it using @Coolane tool and you'll see the exact TDP value.


    Most brands use 115w 1070/150w 1080 for standard. Some use higher like MSi GT series, Clevo, etc...

    Only cowards use Max-Q

    gtx1050ti -----> 75W

    https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/2912/geforce-gtx-1050-ti-mobile





    gtx1060 ------> 80W/85W

    https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/2868/geforce-gtx-1060-mobile





    gtx1070 ------> 115W/120W

    https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/2869/geforce-gtx-1070-mobile

    Prema knows a lot more than I do about these things. I would take his word if he gives it.

    RX 580 (mobile) in GL702ZC has a TDP of 65W. The GPU is however limited to 68W in total.
    RX 580 (mobile) in HP Omen has an unkown TDP as of yet. But the core itself drew about 120W... which I think makes it closer to the desktop 480 in total power draw
