The drivers for the Max-Q version were optimized for efficiency (and not performance only for Max-Q models), there are optimized voltage converters for 1V operation, high-end cooling methods, and a 40 dB limit for the fan noise (with clock adjustments to ensure this at all times). The clock is not the only difference compared to the regular GTX 1050 Ti though. Contrary to the faster models, the GTX 1050 uses the GP107 chip, which is manufactured in a 14 nm process at Samsung. The Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti with Max-Q design is a power efficient mainstream GPU for laptops based on the Pascal architecture and was announced in January 2017. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q ► remove from comparison The power consumption of the Quadro M2200 is rated at a TGP of 55 Watt (39.1 Watt TDP) – similar to the previous Quadro M2000M – and therefore best suited for 15-inch laptops and up. Using CUDA (Compute Capability 5.0) or OpenCL 1.2, the cores of the Quadro M2200 can be used for general calculations. It is not surprising that the gaming performance is comparable to the Nvidia GeForce GTX 965M (Ti) and it is just behind the new GeForce GTX 1050 (Pascal). The performance is between the old Quadro M2000M and Quadro M3000M, but generally closer to the latter (sometimes even on par). The maximum core clock of the Quadro M2200 is 1038 MHz. OpenGL performance, for example, should be significantly better compared to GeForce graphics cards of similar specifications.
The Quadro series offers certified drivers that are optimized for stability and performance in professional applications like CAD or DCC. Therefore, the GPU is similar to the consumer Nvidia GeForce GTX 965M (second generation). The Quadro M2200M is built for the Intel Kaby Lake generation. It is a Maxwell-based GPU built most likely on the GM206 chip with 1024 shader cores. The Nvidia Quadro M2200 is a mid-range DirectX 12 (FL 12_1) and OpenGL 4.5-compatible graphics card for mobile workstations. > ChimeraX-users at Quadro M2200 ► remove from comparison

If I remember correctly, it was not enough to set the NVIDIA Optimus driver to use the GTX, but I had to disable the Intel graphics in the BIOS as well - maybe not best for energy saving, but it worked. It works fine with chimerax and the Vive Pro and does not crash. > I am using a Dell Alienware 13 r3, which also has a GTX1050Ti, as a mobile VR notebook. > On Dec 25, 2018, at 11:06 AM, Matthias Wolf wrote: You may find ChimeraX more reliable and adequately fast (as long as you are not using VR) if you run it with Intel graphics. OpenGL renderer: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX OpenGL Engine The ChimeraX command “graphics driver” will report in the log which graphics is in use:
One thing that may help you debug is to check which graphics card (Intel or Nvidia) ChimeraX is actually using. I agree though that the problem is very likely to do with how your laptop manages the dual graphics. I don’t think that is right - every recent computer with Intel graphics supports OpenGL 3.3. The only thing I can think of is that when you restarted it used Intel graphics and your Intel graphics driver can’t even provide basic OpenGL (version 3.3) that ChimeraX needs. So as the error message says the only fix is to get a graphics driver that works.Īfter a crash, the fact that ChimeraX won’t start is bizarre. The random freeze and crash seems almost certainly a graphics driver bug.
