Nvidia has now officially announced its newest Geforce GTX 10 Series Mobile graphics cards, including the GTX 1060, GTX 1070 and the GTX 1080.

Since there is no "M" suffix attached to these chips, it does not come as a surprise that these will be mostly identical to desktop counterparts, with GTX 1070 being an exception, with even higher CUDA core number compared to the desktop part.

In order to keep the TDP as low as possible so these GPUs can be squeezed inside a notebook chassis, Nvidia has somewhat lowered the GPU clocks, but these will still packs quite a performance punch in the notebook segment, all thanks to Nvidia's Pascal GPU architecture.

According to details provided by Nvidia, the flagship GTX 1080 for notebooks, will pack 2560 CUDA cores, have a GPU Boost clock of 1733MHz and come with the same 8GB of GDDR5X clocked at 10GHz and paired up with a 256-bit memory interface. This means that it is based on the same GP104 Pascal GPU as the desktop part with 2560 CUDA cores, 160 TMUs and 64 ROPs.

The biggest surprise is the GTX 1070 graphcis card for notebooks. Unlike the desktop version, which had 1920 CUDA cores, 120 TMUs and 64 ROPs, the GTX 1070 for notebooks uses a slightly less cut GP104 GPU with 2048 CUDA cores, 128 TMUs and 64 ROPs, which should make up for the lower 1645MHz GPU Boost clock. This one comes with 8GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 8.0GHz and paired up with a 256-bit memory interface.

The mid-range offer includes the GP106-based GTX 1060 for notebooks. Same as the desktop version, this one also comes with 1280 CUDA cores, 80 TMUs and 48 ROPs. It has a GPU Boost clock of 1670MHz and will come with 6GB of GDDR5 memory, clocked at 8.0GHz and paired up with a 192-bit memory interface.

Nvidia promises that the new GTX 10 Series GPUs for notebooks will bring plenty of improvements including Dual-FET power supply, multi-phased power controllers and factory OC support and should be the first to enabled 1440p notebooks with G-Sync 120Hz panels.

Nvidia also included a couple of other improvements, including the new BatteryBoost, which will allow the GPU to maintain a framerate cap and thus lower GPU clocks in order to save power, stabilize framerates, deliver smoother experience and extend battery life.

We expect plenty of gaming-oriented notebooks with new Nvidia Geforce GTX 10 Series GPUs for notebooks to show up soon and some partners have already announced their own versions.
