Great question. Max-P is for top performance. Max-Q is for efficiency. Max-P uses more power, that means more frames, more heat, and shorter battery life when the Nvidia GPU is active. These are spec'd at 110-150w and need thicker chassis, creative cooling solutions, and lower expectations of portability/weight/sound. The Max-Q sacrifices raw performance for a cooler, smaller, more portable package. These should be 80-90W and can fit into sub 1" thick computers while staying quiet and somewhat cool under middling loads. This unit is a Max-Q or on the low end of the Non-Q spectrum.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Max-Q is an official Nvidia term to describe a gpu that has been restricted to lower wattage (tdp). This keeps temps and noise low allowing for a slimmer laptop chassis, however it also means much lower performance. Typically a Max-Q variant will run at around 90 watts. Max-P is not actually an official term, it's just kind of become an adopted term meant to describe a mobile gpu that has the full wattage available to it. They typically run around 115 watts, have better performance than a Max-Q but also means higher temps and noise, you won't typically see these in slim profile laptop chassis It's important to note that even a Max-P variant is not the same as the same desktop version of the gpu. A desktop version will use around 200 watts of power and have much better performance. G-sync is Nvidia's proprietary technology to sync the frame rate of your monitor to the fps being pushed out by your video card. This reduces screen tear. G-sync is a hardware solution. Free sync was kind of AMD's answer to it, but it's a software solution so is much easier and cheaper for monitor manufacturers to implement into their monitors. However, now a-days I believe G-sync video cards from Nvidia will also work with most adaptive sync monitors as if the we're g-sync. For this one it's important to note that most people do not see the screen tear unless they have over clocked brains and eyes... Most people however would not notice it, just look for high frame rates 144hz +
