The mobile video card designed for VR has been optimized, can match makes the VR Ready the mobile workstation, MSI MSI WT720 is led by running Quadro M5500M VR Ready mobile workstations. NVIDIA has revealed more details this mobile graphics

Based on maxwell's second generation architecture (core) GM204 Quadro M5500M mobile graphics. Built-in 2048 core CUDA, frequency of 1050 MHZ, 8 GDDR5 memory, 256 - bit width and thermal design power of 150 w, have similar look and mobile version of the GTX 980, on the whole the graphics card has complete GM204 GPU core, Boost frequency can be as high as 1140 MHZ, memory frequency can reach 6.6 Gbps.

Unlike Quadro M5000M blocked a quarter GM204 core, from a performance point of view M5500M in shadow and texture rendering to 40% higher than M5000M performance improvement and high memory bandwidth of 32%. Corresponding in thermal power, of course, also more than Q5000M exactly half, Quadro M5500M levels is really have desktop GPU performance of the professional mobile graphics card, but on mobile GTX 980, the main market positioning in response to the professional graphics VR development work and industrial design.

The biggest feature of the graphics card doing a special optimized for VR, full support to HTC VIVE and Oculus Rift the virtual head of the equipment. VR is Ready NVIDIA together to build the professional level of VR in combination with other OEM virtual reality platform, able to cope with demands for high performance requirements of VR related hardware, VR Ready mobile workstation can be used in VR related development, industrial design, etc. Msi 17.3 -inch WT72 mobile workstation will be the first M5500M graphics platform.
