The Gigabyte Aero 15X-CF2 comes with a discrete graphics chip in the form of Nvidia’s GTX 1070. For our tests today, we have ran Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Rise of the Tomb Raider on this laptop. We used 1080p resolution both times and used the highest available graphics settings while running each game’s in-built benchmark.
The Gigabyte’s superior 3D Mark results gave way to better gaming results. Its Deus Ex average of 54fps was twenty frames better than the Razer’s GPU, and that average was bolstered by a minimum of 42fps – which means that this demanding game will remain playable at the highest settings and in the busiest moments.
The Aero was miles ahead in Rise of the Tomb Raider, where it recorded an average of 106fps at the game’s High settings. That’s 31fps ahead of the Razer machine. The Gigabyte didn’t stop there, either – it recorded playable scores at Very High settings.
Prefer the proper heavy gaming laptops like my MSI laptop from 2014. Don’t see the point of these thin max-q laptops at all.
That’s an interesting cpu the ‘77700HQ ‘ one to many 7’s but then again It might be new knowing Intels naming system
Being able to use it for something else than gaming. Like sending email at the beach for 8 hours straight on battery power, bringing it on vacation without breaking the back, etc.
I like those huge bricks myself, even bought a MSI GT80S with 18 inch screen.
But I can see the point in this laptop. Mobile power.
Given that this is virtually the same but with more power, how come it got a whole point less than the Aero 15? Is it because of the heat issues when stressing both the CPU and GPU simultaneously?
