Verdict

The Nvidia GeForce MX450 is an entry-level dedicated laptop graphics card based on the Turing TU117 architecture, typically featuring 896 CUDA cores and 2GB of GDDR6 (or GDDR5) VRAM on a 64-bit memory bus. It offers versatile performance profiles with TGP variants ranging from 12W to 28.5W and was notable for being the first mobile GPU to support PCIe Gen 4 x4. Main pros include a significant performance boost over integrated graphics for light photo/video editing and casual 1080p gaming, as well as high energy efficiency that suits slim ultrabooks. However, its primary cons are the limited 2GB memory buffer, which restricts performance in modern AAA titles or high-resolution creative projects, and performance that still falls significantly below gaming-tier GPUs like the GTX 1650.
