The computer houses the latest Nvidia RTX 2080 Max-Q 8 GB graphics, as well as separate Intel HD 630 graphics for better on-the-go battery performance. The laptop has a full HD screen, which is standard on many laptops, but cranks the frame rate up to 144 frames per second (fps), where most displays output around 60 fps. This means that games run much smoother, reducing motion blur in graphically intensive games for a visually stunning gaming experience.
We tested Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 1080p, with the built-in RTX 2080 using DirectX 12, setting the game to its highest preset graphics, and enabling temporal anti-aliasing. The game’s frame counter was used. The game peaked 90 fps with an average frame rate of 85 fps with 10 minutes of gameplay. With the same settings in overclock mode, the maximum frame rate was 97 fps with an average frame rate of 91 fps.
Other graphically intensive games ran well, with Doom reaching the display’s maximum potential of 144 fps, running on the game on the “Ultra” graphics setting.
The processor is an 8th Generator Intel Core i7 CPU (8750-H), which provides snappy performance. We noted a start-up time from shutdown to desktop in 8 seconds. This was made possible by a combination of the fast processor and the two solid state drives, configured in RAID 0. Starting applications is a pleasure on this machine, with Chrome starting in 1 second and MS Word starting in 2 seconds.
