When a system isn’t gaming or using a GPU-accelerated application, Optimus kicks in, automatically switching the display to the low-power integrated graphics processor. GPU Boost resolves this problem by monitoring power usage and temperatures, enabling the GPU to use every last bit of performance without exceeding safety or comfort limits. This “worst-case scenario” forced Nvidia to throttle GPUs, leaving spare performance on the table when playing games. The chips also feature the company’s Optimus technology, which enables extra-long battery life by switching the GPU on and off so it runs only when needed, and GeForce Experience software, which adjusts in-game settings for the best performance and visual quality specific to a user’s notebook and keeps GeForce drivers up-to-date.īefore GPU Boost, GPUs were held back by synthetic benchmarks that pushed chips and power usage to the limit, far beyond the levels typically seen when playing games.

The lineup of Nvidia GeForce 700M GPUs includes the GeForce GT 750M, GeForce GT 745M and GeForce GT 740M GPUs for the performance segment, as a well as GeForce GT 735M and GeForce GT 720M GPUs for the mainstream segment. Graphics processing unit manufacturer Nvidia announced a family of chips that feature the company’s GPU Boost 2.0 technology, which intelligently adjusts GPU clock speed to maximize graphics performance.
