The mx150 is a piece of crap GPU. It performs at less than half the performance of a GeForce 1050 and a third of a 1050 ti (which are in the Dell XPS 15 series.)

Yeah and that's the 1D10 variant. The 1D12 variant in T480s is even slower.

If it wasn't for the Linux driver headaches I still might have gone for it to have another way to check if CUDA code was running properly without having to ssh to the central server.

You need to compare it to its predecessor the 940MX. Its a huge step up from that.
