attempting to run demanding AAA games on not just the built-in display but on one two three external 4K displays can it do it let's start with a quick look at the machine for customization origin offers hydro dipping laser etching and UV prints like what we've got featured here they'll definitely make it harder to blend in if you want to stealthily game in your next board meeting but you can't really put a price tag on gamer flare can you you can it's a hundred dollars for any of the pre-designed graphics and up to 200 if you go for a hydro dip now let's flip it open and check out the guts our unit is absolutely tricked out which is fortunate because we are going to need all the mustard we can get get it Colin if you have maximum mustard your your opponents can't catch up there it goes hey all right right here's our CPU so that's a core i7 11800h this puppy maxes out at 4.6 gigahertz we've got 32 gigs of Corsair Vengeance ddr4 memory running in dual Channel regrettably it's at 26 66 Mega transfers per second but my bet is that this is due to the ongoing silicon shortage because it's out of stock our storage though is a whopping two terabytes of mp600 pro PCI Express Gen 4 goodness and this right here is about to be the hardest working RTX 3080 Max Q on the planet once we've got three 4K monitors hooked up to it I hope that this five heat pipe dual fan cooler is up to the task the last notable bits in here before we close it up are of course the second m.2 slot which you can use to expand your storage and the 73 watt hour battery that gave this design about three hours in the modern office PC Mark test looks like our exploratory surgery wasn't fatal so let's go ahead use the fingerprint sensor to sign in and then talk a little bit about the keyboard and trackpad this is a big area where gaming laptops have improved over the last few years this trackpad remember the little tiny ones we used to get on gaming laptops nice and big if you like the clicky left and right buttons you'll really enjoy these if you don't then well they're still there so there's that and as for the keyboard it has per key RGB backlighting and overall actually a surprisingly good feel oh I have the caps lock on that won't help there's more deck Flex than I'd like but somehow it doesn't really seem to affect the typing experience much and when you consider that this is a 17 inch model that is a little bit more common the trackpad uses Windows Precision drivers which combined with the 300 Hertz display option that we chose makes for an extremely responsive feeling experience and the display doesn't have any kind of HDR certification or anything like that but it does get at least reasonably bright for a pretty solid SDR experience let's go ahead and fire up you know CS go let's turn the sound up oh God I don't remember how many watts the included speakers are they're adequate we're playing competitive here ladies and gentlemen oh no one's dead yet that's your problem hey hey hey don't don't swear can you take advantage of a 300 Hertz display on this laptop the answer is absolutely yes we're getting like 250 to 300 FPS no come on come on just come in here oh no you're so mean no you know what it's not even that loud mind you we're also not making it work that hard yet so this is a relatively low power RTX 3080 but that makes sense given that it's in a slim chassis and our temps maxed out at eight degrees it looks like they hadn't quite capped out yet though so I'm gonna play another round Hardware info looks like it's leveled out now we're getting around 79 degrees and anywhere from 85 to 90 Watts now as we transform this bad boy from notebook to battle station let's take a look at the i o on the left we've got two 3.5 millimeter audio jacks and a USB 3 5 gigabit Port which currently has our Mouse dongle in it on the right we've got one of these half height gigabit Ethernet Jacks love to see that as well as two more USB 35 gigabit ports that we're going to use for our gaming keyboard and a racing wheel and then where things get really interesting it's right here there's a barrel type DC connector we can't get away from that USB power delivery just cannot handle the same 180 Watts that the included brick can but alongside it Thunderbolt 4 means we've got support for daisy chaining Thunderbolt devices and with the HDMI and Mini DisplayPort connectors gives us a total of three interfaces for high resolution monitors so now we're ready almost since we want to get the absolute most out of this thing check this out you might laugh but it's pretty well established that this can have a measurable impact on performance because it means all your intake nice and fresh no restrictions and your exhaust is just taking that hot air away I can just imagine showing like the prototypical Apple user my setup here oh boy these are not in the correct order let's go ahead and set up a Spanish display configuration here oh crap and oh I missed it how is it that after all these years and with all the work NVIDIA puts into this feature for their commercial solutions that it's still this janky you can tell there's literally dozens of people running these configs hibernaclees I have no way of clicking either confirm or deny on this window because I can't make it big enough to actually see it hello create custom resolution why is it grayed out it's been three days and one call with NVIDIA that had eight people on it but we've got it nailed down surround is working all we had to do was use custom resolution utility because for whatever reason the NVIDIA control panel wasn't allowing us to set custom resolutions apparently they're going to be working on that so we used Cru to make sure that we matched our timings exactly between the HDMI and DisplayPort monitors the point is none of that matters what matters is F1 2021 baby and how quiet are little tent mode machine is running here it comes so it's set to ultra high I think we should probably turn Ray tracing off we should turn dlss on yeah quality dlss okay oh this is for short statured people like me normal 27 FPS in menu I think we might have to get a little bit more reasonable here medium it still looks pretty good in this game all right here we go boys oh okay our force feedback kicked in real good okay hey see you later buddy oops oh oh no no no no no no no oh oh that's interesting the wheel animations are just like nope this is a damn good looking game at medium settings and it's running at 40 FPS on a laptop at triple 4K I mean you go back to Linus Tech tips from five years ago I would have told you this is impossible oh wow it's guiding me so much it's basically steering for me look at this oh my guy's like uh sorry about that GPU utilization 99 no this is totally playable especially with g-sync like 40 FPS in a game like this that is absolutely playable I have GPU temp settled in around 74. we can thank our tent mode operation over there for that and then our GPU video clock settled in around 900 high so just under a thousand megahertz I mean Steve from Gamers next is all like do maternal run on a toaster but at three by four k significantly more CPU utilization here already so we might not see 95 watts to the GPU the laptop might have to allocate its power a little bit differently ah so we're running at 11 520 by 2160. I'm gonna try High did I say I was on high because I think what I meant to say was too high it says 80 FPS but you can see how average FPS doesn't tell the whole story because our 99 frames per second so whenever it dips are going down as low as in the mid 30s so let's go ahead and turn it down a little bit absolutely playable definitely struggling a little bit more on this one ah where's my chainsaw at there it is considering that this is a thin gaming laptop though the fact that I'm doing this at all is insane like this is nuts yeah the render latency is a little higher than I would prefer and the dips are lower than I would prefer but it's not by any means unplayable interestingly do maternal ended up delivering almost the same amount of power to the GPU just a little bit less and maintained just about exactly the same clock speeds foreign I think I managed to start a game with nobody else in it so I guess I'll win this is this is going to be sad for Rocket league players to watch here not that anyone would actually play CS go like this but it does support the resolution properly let's give it a shot surround the menus are terrible because no one would be dumb enough to do this but except me except for me oh I died come on I just want to get one killed one killed no no no come on we're getting about 45 FPS supplement me where we going dog let me and me we're a team let me nine percent Health let me come on buddy that's all the proof we need that even the most legit gaming gear won't make you an epic gamer but it gives you a chance and the fact that this thing runs games at triple 4K at all is incredibly impressive so thanks origen for sponsoring this wacky experiment thanks you guys for watching check out the links to where you can find the Evo 17s in the video description they'll also have their other laptops they've got thicker boys with much higher power limits for their gpus if you want the maximum performance in a portable form factor and I think that pretty much closes it out go to ltdstar.com Let's uh try a different game first hey and that's why we have Breakaway cables"}
