NVENC no longer uses multi-pass by default (option remains).

Support for preserving ambient viewing enviroment metadata.

Support for SVT-AV1 multi-pass ABR mode.

used by AMD and also for the professional GA100 Ampere chip).New features in Handbrake 1.7, as well as more other general changes everyone gets to enjoy (hardware dependant), include: The GA106 chip is manufactured by Samsung in 8nm (8N), which is not quite able to keep up with the 7nm node at TSMC (e.g. The Ampere chips also include an improved 5th generation video encoder (NVENC for H.264 and H.265) and a 7th generation decoder (for various formats now including AV1). The raytracing and tensor cores on the chip were also improved according to Nvidia. With Turing all shaders could still execute FP32 or INT32 instructions. The mobile RTX 3060 uses all 3,840 cores on the chip. The GA106 chip offers 3,840 FP32 ALUs of which half can also execute INT32 instructions (i.e. The similar named RTX 3060 desktop card is significantly faster. Less demanding games like Star Wars Squadrons should be playable in 4k with maximum detail settings. On average it should be similar to the older GeForce RTX 2070 Super Mobile and therefore best suited for QHD gaming (very demanding games). The performance depends on the TGP setting and cooling of the laptop.

There is no more Max-Q variant (formerly used for the low power variants) but every OEM can choose to implement Max-Q technologies (Dynamic Boost, Whisper Mode). The GPU supports eDP 1.4b to connect the internal monitor. As package the notebook graphic card uses GB5-256 and the chip size is 40x40mm. It supports PCIe 4.0 and will be available in different variants from 60 or 115 Watt (TGP). It is based on the GA106 Ampere chip and offers 6 GB GDDR6 graphics memory with a 192 Bit memory bus.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile (for laptops, GN20-E3, Max-P) is the third Ampere graphics card for notebooks in early 2021.
