Tencent's (NVIDIA) NVIDIA's action this year has been impressive. It has launched the GTX 1080, 1070, and 1060 graphics cards with unmatched performance. The flagship GTX 1080 has been able to meet the smooth performance of 4K and virtual reality games. The expensive Titan X is not too much to give.
Not only desktop-class graphics, NVIDIA also brings the mobile version of the Pascal core graphics card, its performance is very close to the desktop-class products, which means that this year's new game performance will be greatly improved. So, what is the specific performance improvement? Techspot recently received an unlisted ASUS ROG GX800 gaming tester featuring a Core i7 processor, a new NVMe SSD, a mechanical keyboard, two GTX 1080 SLIs, and a built-in liquid cooling system. It can be said that the new ROG GX800 is a super-powerful game book with infinite configuration and performance close to desktop gaming PCs, and its performance is very promising.
A variety of 3A game testing
Techspot has selected a number of popular 3A game masterpieces for testing, basically all tested in a 4K resolution, high-efficiency environment, reflecting the true strength of the GTX 1080 SLI. In addition, for comparison, a desktop PC equipped with a Core i6700K and dual GTX 1080 graphics cards was tested in the same environment.
First of all, it is "New Year's Eve" "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" with a resolution of 4K and AA special effects close. The average frame rate of the ASUS ROG GX800 SLI environment has reached 106fps, while the desktop PC's frame rate is exactly the same, even Single-card performance notebooks also go beyond desktops and are impressive.
The second game is the famous graphics killer "Crysis 3". Even with the GTX 1080 SLI, the average frame rate of notebooks and desktops is only 50fps, and the single card performance is exactly the same. Of course, this game requires too much graphics, and 50fps is already a very good result.
"Tom Clancy: Blockade of the whole territory" is an open world shooting game launched by Ubisoft this year. It is reflected by many netizens. Its support for SLI is not very good. Testing also proves that the GTX 1080 SLI can achieve the entry fluency standard of 60fps. , Notebook and desktop performance are basically the same.
Unlike other test games, "Tomb Raider Rising" is tested in the DX12 environment and features FXAA is enabled. The average desktop frame rate is 105fps and the notebook is 103fps. The single card performance is basically the same.
In the open world adventure masterpiece "Wizard 3", after starting the "Haifeisi" feature, the average frame rate difference between the notebook and desktop GTX 1080 SLI is only 2fps, but the single card performance is more than 1fps.
Finally, let's look at the heat test of both. Tests have shown that the ASUS ROG GX800 has a larger amount of heat, which is clearly understandable given the more compact design of the notebook. Therefore, its external water cooling system is also very necessary for SLI.
summary
The final result shows that the performance of the dual GTX 1080 game, such as the ASUS ROG GX800, is basically equivalent to that of a desktop SLI. The Pascal kernel is undoubtedly the biggest contributor, reducing the performance difference between desktop and mobile graphics cards to almost negligible. Excluding, impressive.
Of course, there are still differences in actual experience. ASUS ROG RX800 to achieve a strong configuration, body weight reached 5.7 kg, more thick than the average game. Although it is a notebook, considering its powerful configuration, the battery life may be only a few hours. In addition, it also requires an external water-cooling system, and the price is several times more expensive than a DIY desktop game PC. But its significance is: The performance of the game has not been inferior to the desktop, which is undoubtedly a huge improvement.
