What is Max-Q Technology of NVIDIA laptop GPU?

NVIDIA Max-Q is a suite of technologies powered by AI that optimize laptops to deliver high performance in thin form factors

How to boost performance for laptop GPU (Intel 12th Gen models)

1. Maximum System Power: Maximum of the system power supply that can provide to the laptop GPU and CPU. Check your laptop GPU
2. Dynamic Boost 2.0:  New AI-powered Dynamic Boost 2.0 automatically delivers the needed power between the GPU, GPU memory, and CPU on a per-frame basis. User can check on/off this function in NVIDIA Control Panel.
Click on Gigabyte Control Center General page and find “NVIDIA Control Panel” open.
System Information → Display → Graphics card information Details
Gaming Mode = Maximum System Power (with more power) + Dynamic Boost 2.0
The laptop GPU and CPU are overclocked automatically to optimize the performance in games.
Turbo Mode = Maximum System Power (with more power) + Dynamic Boost 2.0
The laptop GPU and CPU are automatically overclocked at the highest frequency with fans running at full speed to maximize the system performance.
Switch "MUX Switch" to the "dGPU" option for higher performance.
