By the way, all measurements were done with the fan setting “Auto” (can be changed via Command & Control). Currently, Razer is the only manufacturer who has managed to produce a fast, slim and quiet gaming notebook ( Blade 14). The fact remains that cooling such powerful hardware is only possible with big trade-offs. The recently reviewed MSI GS70 shows that other manufacturers also struggle with noise: 49.6 dB (A) is also very loud and drowns out the sound effects of many games (unless you are using a headset). While we measured 44 to 49 dB (A) in our first 3DMark sequence, the noise increased to 49 to 53 dB (A) in the second run with an average of 52.8 dB (A) (46.3 dB (A) X7 v1). Under load (3D applications, games.) the X7 v2 could replace a hair dryer.

Sometimes it even increases to the 40 dB(A) range, which is quite absurd during normal Windows usage. Although the two fans stay comfortably quiet while idling (only the HDD is audible), simple tasks like MS Office, videos or surfing are accompanied by an audible noise (~33 dB(A)).

Those who do not want to constantly bother about driver updates should buy a standard laptop.ĭoes the idea of a slim dual GPU notebook make you shake your head? Well, your worries are not completely unfounded. Aorus has to optimize the driver support for games like GRID: Autosport, Watch Dogsand Wolfenstein: The New Order to run well. Although we replaced the preinstalled driver with a newer version downloaded from Aorus' homepage (333.11 instead of 333.04), the performance was rather poor in current games. So, it is all the more annoying that none of the official Nvidia driver works on the Aorus X7 v2 so far (tried ForceWare 337.88 WHQL and 340.43 Beta). If the system lacks a compatible SLI profile, the second graphics card is not advantageous and might even have a negative impact on performance.
While an average frame rate of 38 fps with maximum settings (Ultra, DX11, 4x MSAA) sounds decent, the game could not be enjoyed.Īnother weakness is that multi GPU systems are driver dependent.
In our review, we faced this problem in Far Cry 3 for example. Due to varying intervals, the image could appear jerkier than with a single GPU despite better frame rates. Furthermore, they suffer from so-called micro stuttering. Dual GPU notebooks are known to get rather loud and warm. Apart from higher power consumption, the enormous cooling requirement has to be mentioned here. As with the AMD counterpart called CrossFire, SLI also has disadvantages.

The test device continued to run at its full GPU Turbo speed after one hour of full load.Īn important unique feature of the Aorus X7 is its dual GPU configuration. At least, the clock rates are maintained in extreme situations. Due to the small interfaces (128-bit) the GTX 860M hardly profits from the big memory. The memory clock of the 4096 MB GDDR5 VRAM is 2500 MHz, each. Instead of 1029 to 1097 MHz the Kepler model only clocks at 797 to 915 MHz. 640), it has to make do with an old architecture and slower clock rates. While it features more shader units (1,152 vs. Unlike most laptop companies, Aorus uses the Kepler edition, which is 10% slower. Actually, “brand new” is only an adequate word for the Maxwell model of the DirectX 11 chip. The manufacturer upgraded from the GTX 765M to the brand new GTX 860M. The graphics card is one of the biggest changes. We skipped several sections here, since they are very similar and will start directly with the display section. Learn about the Macro keys, build quality and input devices in this review. The 17-inch case weighs still about 3.2 kg (~7 pounds) and is only 2.3 cm (~0.9 inches) high.
The RAM-type also makes the laptop stand out: Only a few companies use DDR3-1866 (previously: DDR3-1600).Īpart from that, Aorus did not change the design.
Aorus replaced the Core i7-4700HQ with the slightly faster Core i7-4710HQ (according to the homepage a Core i7-4860HQ is planned). It is also different in other aspects, for example, the hard drive setup: While the predecessor came with two mSATA-SSDs in RAID-0, the new model impresses even more with three mSATA-SSDs.Īpart from mass storage, the processor was optimized. But the X7 v2's graphics solution is not the only difference to the competition. While most manufacturers make do with one dedicated graphics card, Aorus even packs two Nvidia chips in its high-end product. For the original German review, see here.
