A driver update to version Nvidia released driver version A quick test showed that the GPU allocation now works properly.
The professional chip differs from the consumer GeForce cards in terms of a modified BIOS as well as special drivers, which are designed for stability. Comprehensive certifications also ensure a trouble-free operation between hardware and software. The drivers can result in a significant performance advantage in OpenGL-optimized applications in particular. We use the benchmarks SPECviewperf 11 and 12 for professional purposes. Calculations can be transferred from the processor to the graphics card via the OpenCL interface, but the standards differ depending on the manufacturer.
Those methods are mainly used for picture and video conversions, financial analysis as well as encryption in practice. We use the two tools LuxMark 2. LuxMark 2. The results are also ahead of the smaller model Quadro MM in SiSoft Sandra 16, but comparisons are still difficult due to the limited number of test results.
The raw performance of the hardware is important for DirectX applications, which include games. The GPU performance is not reduced on battery power. More information and benchmarks for the Quadro MM are available here.
That the ThinkPad P50 also works pretty well as a gaming notebook is supported by our gaming table, which is usually green. The performance of the Quadro MM is once again similar to the GTX M , so you can play many modern titles smoothly in high settings.
The lower processor performance of the ThinkPad P50 only affects the results at lower resolutions, while the GPU will be the limiting factor in Full HD and high details. Because of the low emissions, the ThinkPad P50 might even be an interesting alternative for a typical gaming notebook when you prefer a more conservative design. We did not have any problems in the gaming benchmarks, only Star Wars: Battlefront required a newer driver version.
The installation of the GeForce driver More benchmarks for many titles are available in our gaming list. The ThinkPad P50 is a very quiet notebook while idling or performing simple tasks. The fans only spin from time to time in the High Performance power mode from an idle state up to Medium loads will not result in more than 35 dB A , either, only maximum load creates a system noise between Subjectively, the fans create a convenient murmur, so the notebook is never too disturbing.
We could not notice other annoying noises like coil whining, either. We can notice the smaller chassis of the ThinkPad P50 compared to the P70 when we look at the temperatures. However, the results are still very good. The device only warms up a bit at the back while idling, but is otherwise very cool. The average temperatures are just The problem with the limited Turbo Boost obviously also affects the stress test. The latter will be in the range between 3.
The processor in the P50 cannot surpass its TDP limit of 45 watts, either, because it will only consume 45 watts even when we use the integrated GPU at the same time. The processor clock is 2. Contrary to the bigger P70, this behavior does not change on battery power, either.
Both the graphics card and the processor after 4 minutes can almost utilize their full potential when we stress the two components simultaneously with the tools Prime95 and FurMark. While the processor usually runs at 3. A 3DMark 11 run immediately after the stress test did not determine a lower result compared to a cool run.
The manufacturer limited the maximum consumption on battery power to 55 watts according to HWInfo, which is much more conservative compared to the bigger P70 up to 90 watts. The processor can only use around 13 watts in this case between 1.
It seems that the mobility is more important for Lenovo. An interesting question we can unfortunately not answer at this point is the maximum consumption of the model with the 4K panel. If it is also limited to 55 watts, you can expect another performance drop since the panel will probably have a higher power consumption. The ThinkPad P50 also has two stereo speakers above the keyboard, but they are even less powerful compared to the bigger sibling at just 2x 1.
The maximum volume is slightly higher at The sound itself is a bit richer and it was subjectively a bit better compared to the P Bass on the other hand is still missing, and the profiles of the Dolby Audio software cannot really help, either. The performance is certainly sufficient for conferences, line meetings and some background music, but you should use headphones or external speakers for a better result.
The playback via stereo jack as well as Bluetooth Denon Envaya Mini was adequate. We also noticed the problem of the cracking speakers in the review of the ThinkPad P50, which supports our assumption of a driver issue in combination with Windows 7.
Our review unit has a huge advantage over the comparison devices in the consumption measurements, especially in the idle scenarios. We have to be fair though and note that all rivals except for the HP Omen Pro 15 are equipped with high-resolution screens that particularly affect the power consumption in these measurements.
This should also be the case for the ThinkPad P50 with the optional 4K display. The Schenker W on the other hand is affected by the desktop processor and the missing graphics switching. The situation for the ThinkPad P50 could hardly be better in this section, because our review unit is not only frugal, but it is also equipped with a Wh battery. We already saw that the maximum power consumption on battery power is limited to around 55 watts during our stress test.
Lenovo focuses on the mobility in this case and ensures a runtime of almost two hours, even when you stress the device.
Lenovo advertises a Hybrid-mode runtime of The workstation competition cannot keep up with these results. However, those results only apply for the Full HD display. We already saw in the review of the ThinkPad P70 and nearly every other review with high-resolution panels that high-resolutions are responsible for a big part of the consumption, especially in the idle scenarios.
We cannot say how big the difference is in the case of the ThinkPad P50 at this point, but you should expect hours less in the practical tests Wi-Fi, video. Quick charge is supported in combination with the provided watt power adapter. The overall impression of the Lenovo ThinkPad P50 is obviously affected by the Turbo utilization of the processor, which is basically non-existent. It will eventually be active during the stress test, so we hope that Lenovo can fix this issue with an update.
Our rating is obviously affected by the lower benchmark scores as well. The cooling is powerful enough, and the components can almost utilize their full performance potential in extreme situations, despite the conservative temperature limitations by Lenovo.
Similar to the bigger ThinkPad P70 , the P50 will always stay conveniently cool and quiet. Thanks to the more compact dimensions, the chassis stability of the ThinkPad P50 leaves an even better impression than the bigger sibling. The input devices are still excellent and the port selection is up to date, even though some ports are pretty close to each other. It is, however, very annoying that Lenovo makes it unnecessarily complicated to upgrade the drives because you have to use special adapters and cables.
The display leaves a mixed impression. The Full HD panel can benefit from the good integrated calibration. We cannot determine PWM and there are no scaling issues. However, there is still quite a lot of room for improvements in terms of brightness, contrast and the color gamut in particular. The optional 4K panel is supposed to fill this gap, but it is associated with other issues. This includes higher power consumption and scaling issues, especially in combination with Windows 7.
It is unfortunate that Lenovo does not offer a better Full HD display. The low power consumption, which also benefits from the Full HD panel, results in enormous battery runtimes in combination with the massive Wh battery.
Those would probably be noticeably shorter with the 4K panel. As a user, you will therefore have to decide between a supposedly better panel and higher mobility. Many competing manufacturers — including Dell — use consumer devices with professional components in this class.
This will often affect the business features, so the ThinkPad P50 does not have many real competitors at the moment. The predecessor of the ZBook 15 G3 already left an excellent impression in our long-term review. Another potential alternative is offered by Lenovo. The ThinkPad P50s has an even bigger focus on mobility, but could still be interesting for some users. The two devices are very similar in many respects, but there are also important differences.
Those include the display as well as the more complex maintenance, but also the longer battery runtimes. Our review unit also has a problem with the Turbo Boost most of the time.
