Acer has started to roll out the TGP update for several GeForce RTX 3000 series gaming laptops. TGP, which stands for “total graphics power”, allows a specified amount of power that the device’s graphics commands from the CPU. It creates the bus image specified for the CPU commands and formulates the finalized output to the device’s graphics hardware.
This instruction will be greatly used by NVIDIA’s Dynamic Boost and AMD’s Smart Shift graphics technology. According to the latest firmware update released by Acer, the amount of total graphics power increased by up to 35 of their GeForce RTX 3000 gaming laptops, such as Helios 300 series, Triton 300, and 300 SE series, and Nitro 5 series of gaming laptops.
Our claim to gaming hardware is to offer a balance between the best possible CPU and GPU performance, volume, and durability. Accordingly, we are pleased to be able to offer both interested buyers and many of our existing customers improved graphics performance with the BIOS update.
Since we all know that NVIDIA requires laptop manufacturers to list full specifications, including information about the clock and total graphics power, we can get the right gaming laptop for our needs.
However, Acer is yet to reveal any information on any increases in temperature of both the central processing unit or the graphics processing unit for laptops that will get the framework update. The first Acer GeForce RTX series to release the update is the Acer Helios 300 PH315-54 model.
