GPD G1 graphics card dock revamped: added 60W / 100W power selection mode, will be available at the end of this month

According to news from this website on February 18, GPD handheld console announced that it will launch a revised version of the GPD G1 graphics card dock. The new product will usher in three major improvements:

First, a physical power switching button is added

A physical power switch key is added next to the power button, which can switch between silent and balanced modes:

Switch to silent mode, the TGP is 60W, which can ensure that G1 operates under ultra-low noise Work.

Switch to balanced mode, TGP is 100W, and the experience is consistent with the current G1 factory mode.

The following are the 3DMark running scores of the revised G1 under WIN 4 (6800U) under two powers:

Second, the HDMI interface supports high Refresh rate

The first version of G1 provides 2 DP interfaces and 1 HDMI interface. The HDMI interface of G1 is version 2.1 TMDS protocol, 18Gbps bandwidth, and theoretically supports 4K / 120Hz output. However, due to signal interference, it can only output 4K/60Hz. Therefore, the earliest official recommendation was for players to use the DP interface.

Considering that there are still many players whose monitors have HDMI interfaces, the DisplayPort to HDMI cable may not be usable due to poor compatibility. This revision completely solves the problem of signal interference, and the HDMI interface can also output 4K/120Hz.

Third, the USB4 port supports 65W power supply

The USB4 port of the first version of G1 (actually a Thunderbolt 4 controller) supports 60W power supply, which can theoretically provide power to devices that support 60W fast charging , but individual users have reported that they cannot power some Surface models and some Lenovo thin and light notebook models.

After understanding, it may be that the output power of the USB4 port of some G1s cannot reach 60W, resulting in the problem of flashing after charging. This G1 revision has replaced the Thunderbolt 4 controller, fixed some Thunderbolt controller firmware bugs, and increased the power supply to 65W to ensure that it can power more devices.

This site learned from GPD officials that the revised G1 graphics card dock is preparing for mass production and plans to be launched at the end of this month.

In addition, the GPD WIN4 (8840U) version of the handheld console is also preparing for mass production and will be available as soon as the end of this month.

The above is the detailed content of GPD G1 graphics card dock revamped: added 60W / 100W power selection mode, will be available at the end of this month. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
