About NVIDIA GeForce MX150 GP107
The NVIDIA GeForce MX150 GP107 is a Pascal-architecture mobile graphics processor designed for thin-and-light laptops, built on Samsung’s 14 nm process node. It integrates 3,300 million transistors on a 132 mm² die, producing a transistor density of 25.0M per mm², and targets entry-level 1080p gaming and multimedia tasks. The data presents a mixed picture: its average benchmark score is 0, placing it at the 50th percentile of all GPUs, which indicates a middle-of-the-pack standing in the broad database, yet the absence of any direct rival entries in the nearestRivals field leaves its competitive positioning open to interpretation.
Benchmark Performance
The MX150 GP107’s raw computational throughput is defined by its 384 shading units, 24 texture mapping units, and 16 raster output pipelines, which together yield a pixel rate of 24.51 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 36.77 GTexel/s. Its FP32 performance stands at 1,176.6 GFLOPS, a figure that suggests modest capability for general-purpose compute workloads, while its FP16 output is drastically lower at 18.38 GFLOPS, reflecting a 1:64 ratio that indicates a deliberate de-emphasis on half-precision tasks—likely a cost-saving measure for a low-power part. The 50th percentile ranking implies that roughly half of all GPUs in the database score higher, but with no benchmark scores or rival deltas provided, the practical implications of this percentile remain abstract rather than concrete.
Clock speeds are set at a 1469 MHz base and 1532 MHz boost, which are relatively conservative values for a 25 W TDP part, suggesting thermal and power constraints dominate the design. The memory clock runs at 1502 MHz with an effective 6 Gbps data rate, but the narrow 64-bit bus limits realized bandwidth to 48.06 GB/s. This bandwidth figure is a critical bottleneck: it is sufficient for lightweight eSports titles at low settings, but it will likely throttle performance in texture-heavy scenes or when resolution scales upward. The pixel rate of 24.51 GPixel/s, when divided across the 64-bit bus, hints that fill-rate-bound scenarios could expose the memory subsystem’s limitations, particularly at higher detail presets.
How It Compares
As the nearestRivals array is empty, there are no direct competitor GPUs with specified scores or deltaPct values to reference. This absence is notable: it suggests the MX150 GP107 occupies a niche where its closest performance neighbors are either older integrated solutions or newer low-end discrete parts that have not been catalogued in this dataset. Without rival data, one can only infer positional strength from its percentile—the 50th percentile is a median result, meaning it neither excels nor disappoints relative to the full GPU population. In practice, a user moving from a modern integrated graphics solution would likely see a substantial uplift, but the lack of quantifiable deltas prevents a precise percentage-based comparison. The 14 nm process and 25 W TDP position it as a power-efficient option, but its end-of-life production status and 2019-02-22 release date indicate it is a legacy part superseded by newer architectures.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The MX150 GP107 does not include dedicated ray tracing cores or tensor cores, as both fields are null in the specification data. This is consistent with its Pascal architecture, which predates the RTX-focused Turing and Ampere generations. Consequently, hardware-accelerated ray tracing is not available, and any ray-traced effects would rely on software fallbacks, which would be impractical given the FP32 throughput of 1,176.6 GFLOPS. The feature set instead leans on API compatibility: it supports DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The DirectX 12_1 feature level includes support for conservative rasterization and rasterizer-ordered views, but it lacks the DirectX Raytracing (DXR) tier that would enable hardware-accelerated RT workloads. For modern games that mandate DXR, this GPU would fail to meet minimum requirements, but for titles using Vulkan 1.4 or DirectX 12_1 without RT, it remains nominally compliant.
The absence of tensor cores also means no DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) support, which is a notable omission for a card aimed at budget laptops. DLSS would have helped mitigate the bandwidth constraints, but its absence forces reliance on native resolution rendering and traditional anti-aliasing. The Pascal architecture does support asynchronous compute to a degree, but the 1:64 FP16 ratio suggests that any AI-accelerated features are off the table. For users prioritizing feature completeness, this GPU is clearly a step below modern entry-level parts, but for older DirectX 11 or Vulkan titles, the feature set is adequate.
Power and Cooling
The thermal design power is set at 25 W, a very low figure that enables fanless or ultra-quiet cooling solutions in slim chassis. The slot width is listed as "IGP," indicating it is integrated into the motherboard or a low-profile module, which further reinforces its use in ultraportable laptops. Power connectors are listed as "None," meaning the GPU draws all power from the motherboard slot or a dedicated low-power rail, and no external 6-pin or 8-pin connectors are required. No suggested PSU is provided, which is typical for mobile parts where the system power supply is fixed and not user-upgradeable.
The power delivery implications are straightforward: a 25 W GPU places minimal strain on the laptop’s thermal and power budgets, allowing for thinner designs and longer battery life under light loads. However, the boost clock of 1532 MHz is only 63 MHz above the base clock, indicating that sustained performance is tightly capped—likely due to power limits rather than thermal headroom. In practice, this means the GPU will maintain consistent performance across long sessions, but it will not offer the dynamic overclocking headroom seen in higher-TDP desktop parts. The 14 nm process and 3,300 million transistors suggest a dense but efficient design, though the 132 mm² die size is modest compared to larger Pascal chips.
Who Should Consider It
Based on the available data, the MX150 GP107 is suited for users who primarily engage with eSports titles and older AAA games at 1080p with low-to-medium settings. The 48.06 GB/s bandwidth and 1,176.6 GFLOPS FP32 performance are sufficient for games like Counter-Strike 2, League of Legends, or Valorant, which are not bandwidth-intensive and favor high frame rates over visual fidelity. The 24.51 GPixel/s pixel rate can handle 1080p fills at moderate rates, but pushing to 1440p or enabling high-resolution textures will likely cause stuttering due to the 2 GB VRAM ceiling and narrow bus. Users who play turn-based strategy games, indie titles, or older RPGs (pre-2015) will find the performance adequate, but those expecting 60 FPS in recent AAA releases at high settings will be disappointed.
The 50th percentile ranking suggests it is a median performer, which aligns with its positioning as a baseline discrete GPU. It is not a candidate for 4K gaming, nor is it suitable for content creation workloads that benefit from high FP32 counts—the 1,176.6 GFLOPS is roughly a tenth of what modern midrange GPUs offer. For productivity tasks like photo editing in Lightroom or 1080p video playback, it is more than sufficient, but for 3D rendering or video encoding, the lack of dedicated encoders (not specified) and low compute throughput will result in prolonged rendering times. The end-of-life status means buyers should only consider this part in used or budget systems, not new purchases.
Memory Subsystem
The memory configuration is a 2 GB GDDR5 setup on a 64-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 48.06 GB/s. This is the most significant limiting factor for the entire GPU. The 2 GB capacity is marginal for modern games, which often require 4 GB or more for high-resolution textures; at 1080p, many titles will exceed 2 GB when detail settings are raised, forcing the GPU to swap to system memory via the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface, which has limited bandwidth. The 64-bit bus width halves the memory throughput compared to a 128-bit solution, and the 48.06 GB/s figure is roughly one-third of what a midrange desktop card offers. This bottleneck is most pronounced in scenes with heavy texture streaming or high draw distances.
The 1502 MHz memory clock and 6 Gbps effective rate are standard for GDDR5, but the narrow bus negates the benefits of the fast memory. For 1080p gaming, the bandwidth is adequate for older titles with smaller texture packs, but it will struggle with games that use high-resolution assets or advanced post-processing effects that require frequent VRAM access. The 2 GB capacity also limits the ability to run multiple applications simultaneously, such as a game plus a web browser with many tabs, as the GPU may run out of memory and cause frame drops. In summary, the memory subsystem is designed for cost-saving and power efficiency, not performance, and it caps the GPU’s potential even in scenarios where the compute units are not fully saturated.
