Asus ROG Strix GL753VD Gaming
Rise of the Tomb Raider
In our first gaming test, the ROG Strix GL753VD already shows the limitations of its GTX 1050 graphics. At the screen’s native resolution of 1920 x 1080 and on Rise of the Tomb Raider’s default High detail settings running in DirectX 11 mode, it barely scraped by with a 35fps average, while dipping as low as 15.21fps in the Syria section.
Even dropping detail down to low and resolution to 1280 x 720 didn’t save the performance completely, with a smooth 57.7fps average but still a low point of below 30fps – and this is at settings that make a gorgeous game look like an early PlayStation 3 title.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
The less demanding Deus Ex: Mankind Divided fared better, but even here the GL753VD struggled at its native screen resolution, and we had to drop it down significantly to get a smooth experience.
Ashes of the Singularity
Just like Tomb Raider, Ashes drove this Republic of Gamers machine to its limit, and activating DirectX 12 slowed it to a crawl. Is there much point to a card being compatible with the latest DirectX version if it can’t actually run most titles at playable framerates?
Seems more like a good laptop for content creation than a gaming laptop to me.
Not that the gaming framerate is not acceptable, but I think as well that if you say a laptop is for gaming you need something that can give a more consistent performance in modern games.
Honestly f performace, the first question with laptops should always be “Can you keep the damn thing cool, so you can use it to its potential ? ” I checked and it seems this model has only 1 fan(unless I got the wrong one, feel free to correct me). Kind of worrying in my book.
good question.
