3DMark - Cloud Gate score 17017 marks with a GeForce MX350

Information Detail

The NVIDIA GeForce MX350 is an entry-level mobile GPU designed to enhance the graphics experience of mainstream laptop users. Based on the Pascal architecture (GP107) that is also used in the GTX 1050 series, this GPU has 640 CUDA cores and comes with 2GB GDDR5 VRAM, which provides much better graphics performance compared to integrated GPUs such as Intel UHD or Iris Xe Graphics.

MX350 supports DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.6, and NVIDIA Optimus Technology, enabling intelligent transition between integrated and discrete GPUs for power efficiency. Compared to the integrated GPU, the MX350 is capable of running more applications and games with smoother graphics, such as Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, to popular games like Genshin Impact, Valorant, Dota 2, and GTA V at 720p to 1080p resolution with low to medium graphics settings.

While not a GPU for heavy gaming or professional editing, the MX350 still excels in daily multitasking and productivity scenarios, especially on laptops with dual channel RAM like the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 equipped with a Core i5-1135G7 and 12GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM. In this laptop, the combination of Intel Iris Xe Graphics and NVIDIA MX350 allows the system to choose the most efficient GPU for each workload, keeping the battery efficient without sacrificing performance when needed.

Overall, the GeForce MX350 is a well-balanced discrete GPU solution for casual users who want the increased graphics performance of an integrated GPU, but don't need the full power of the GTX or RTX series. This GPU is perfect for students, office workers, or multimedia users looking for a thin and light yet responsive laptop for visual tasks.
