ASUS ROG Strix GL702VT 17.3in Gaming Notebook Review

Tomb Raider received much acclaim from critics, who praised the graphics, the gameplay and Camilla Luddington’s performance as Lara with many critics agreeing that the game is a solid and much needed reboot of the franchise. Much criticism went to the addition of the multiplayer which many felt was unnecessary. Tomb Raider went on to sell one million copies in forty-eight hours of its release, and has sold 3.4 million copies worldwide so far. (Wikipedia).

We used a 1920 x 1080 resolution and the Tomb Raider built-in benchmark set to ‘Ultimate' quality, but without TressFX.

The ASUS GL702VT is providing almost identical Tomb Raider performance to the MSI GS40, which is no surprise given they have the same graphics. The score is behind the MSI GT72 2QE Dominator Pro G. The latter's GTX980M has a greater number of CUDA cores, running at a faster core clock, and 8GB of GDDR5 with a wider memory bus.

The Asus ROG G750JZ also has the benefit of 8GB of GDDR5. But the GL702VT is still providing very playable performance, with a frame rate never falling below 25fps.

  1. I earn close to $6.000-$8.000 /every month from freelancing online. For those of you who are looking to do basic freelance jobs for 2-5 h /day from your house and earn solid paycheck while doing it… Try this gig FAVE.CO/20SR7Wt

  2. Seriously how can you make a gaming laptop in this day and age without an SSD? With current prices it’s not that hard to give 128 or even 256GB of space. I’ll bet a lot of gamers would prefer the massive performance increase over the extra space; I know I would.

  3. I have a Dell XPS with a 512GB SSD and 960m. Work paid for it. Worth every penny haha.

    I tried MGSV on it earlier and it ran at fairly high settings with an issue. No throttling or anything

  4. I am earning about $6,000-$8,000 on monthly basis online. Those who are prepared to work basic at home jobs for 2-5 h every day from your couch at home and get valuable income for doing it… Then this work is for you… FAVE.CO/20SQZ9r

  5. IKR! I bought last year an Alienware 17 and immediately swapped the 1TB hard drive with a 256GB SSD like on the same week and no regrets! The performance gains are amazing and its only a Crucial MX100 which is working good, a little underrated one.

  6. After the bad experience that I had with Asus after sales support regarding my venerable Asus G74sx, I will never buy another Asus laptop like ever.
