00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,620
origin sponsored this video featuring the new Evo 17s it's compact like a

2
00:00:06,359 --> 00:00:12,120
machine that you'd actually consider carrying around with you at just five

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:16,980
pounds 0.78 inches but I don't consider it a conflict with my framework share

4
00:00:13,980 --> 00:00:19,320
since it's a very different class of

5
00:00:16,980 --> 00:00:27,779
machine boasting the grunt of a fully fledged desktop setup thanks to its RTX

6
00:00:22,020 --> 00:00:30,960
3080 Max Q GPU and 8 core core i7 11800h

7
00:00:27,779 --> 00:00:34,800
or is it to find out we will be pushing

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:37,260
it to its absolute limits attempting to

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:42,960
run demanding AAA games on not just the built-in display but on one

10
00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:51,800
two three external 4K displays

11
00:00:48,899 --> 00:00:51,800
can it do it

12
00:00:58,699 --> 00:01:05,400
let's start with a quick look at the machine for customization origin offers

13
00:01:02,699 --> 00:01:09,659
hydro dipping laser etching and UV prints like what we've got featured here

14
00:01:07,380 --> 00:01:13,680
they'll definitely make it harder to blend in if you want to stealthily game

15
00:01:11,820 --> 00:01:18,240
in your next board meeting but you can't really put a price tag on gamer flare

16
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:22,560
can you you can it's a hundred dollars for any of the pre-designed graphics and

17
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:28,500
up to 200 if you go for a hydro dip now let's flip it open and check out the

18
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:30,540
guts our unit is absolutely tricked out

19
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:35,220
which is fortunate because we are going to need all the mustard we can get get

20
00:01:33,540 --> 00:01:39,680
it Colin if you have maximum mustard your your opponents can't catch up

21
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:46,259
there it goes hey all right right here's our CPU so

22
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:51,420
that's a core i7 11800h this puppy maxes out at 4.6 gigahertz we've got 32 gigs

23
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:57,240
of Corsair Vengeance ddr4 memory running in dual Channel regrettably it's at 26

24
00:01:54,540 --> 00:02:00,899
66 Mega transfers per second but my bet is that this is due to the ongoing

25
00:01:58,740 --> 00:02:07,020
silicon shortage because it's out of stock our storage though is a whopping

26
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:09,599
two terabytes of mp600 pro PCI Express

27
00:02:07,020 --> 00:02:15,720
Gen 4 goodness and this right here is about to be the hardest working RTX 3080

28
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:18,660
Max Q on the planet once we've got three

29
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:24,060
4K monitors hooked up to it I hope that this five heat pipe dual fan cooler is

30
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:28,020
up to the task the last notable bits in here before we close it up are of course

31
00:02:25,620 --> 00:02:32,160
the second m.2 slot which you can use to expand your storage and the 73 watt hour

32
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:36,780
battery that gave this design about three hours in the modern office PC Mark

33
00:02:34,739 --> 00:02:40,860
test looks like our exploratory surgery wasn't fatal so let's go ahead use the

34
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:46,140
fingerprint sensor to sign in and then talk a little bit about the keyboard and

35
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:49,980
trackpad this is a big area where gaming laptops have improved over the last few

36
00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:53,160
years this trackpad remember the little tiny ones we used to get on gaming

37
00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:56,879
laptops nice and big if you like the clicky left and right buttons you'll

38
00:02:54,900 --> 00:03:01,560
really enjoy these if you don't then well they're still there so there's that

39
00:02:59,340 --> 00:03:07,620
and as for the keyboard it has per key RGB backlighting and overall actually a

40
00:03:05,220 --> 00:03:12,120
surprisingly good feel oh I have the caps lock on that won't help there's

41
00:03:09,060 --> 00:03:14,280
more deck Flex than I'd like but somehow

42
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:18,420
it doesn't really seem to affect the typing experience much and when you

43
00:03:16,379 --> 00:03:23,099
consider that this is a 17 inch model that is a little bit more common the

44
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:27,659
trackpad uses Windows Precision drivers which combined with the 300 Hertz

45
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:31,680
display option that we chose makes for an extremely responsive feeling

46
00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:36,599
experience and the display doesn't have any kind of HDR certification or

47
00:03:34,379 --> 00:03:41,580
anything like that but it does get at least reasonably bright for a pretty

48
00:03:38,819 --> 00:03:46,620
solid SDR experience let's go ahead and fire up you know CS go let's turn the

49
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:50,340
sound up oh God I don't remember how many watts the included speakers are

50
00:03:48,239 --> 00:03:54,540
they're adequate we're playing competitive here ladies and gentlemen oh

51
00:03:52,260 --> 00:04:00,840
no one's dead yet that's your problem hey hey hey don't don't swear can you

52
00:03:58,739 --> 00:04:08,180
take advantage of a 300 Hertz display on this laptop the answer is absolutely yes

53
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:12,540
we're getting like 250 to 300 FPS

54
00:04:08,180 --> 00:04:16,199
no come on come on just come in here oh

55
00:04:12,540 --> 00:04:18,180
no you're so mean no you know what it's

56
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:23,100
not even that loud mind you we're also not making it work that hard yet so this

57
00:04:20,220 --> 00:04:28,800
is a relatively low power RTX 3080 but that makes sense given that it's in a

58
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:30,419
slim chassis and our temps maxed out at

59
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:34,080
eight degrees it looks like they hadn't quite capped out yet though so I'm gonna

60
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:39,360
play another round Hardware info looks like it's leveled out now we're getting

61
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:42,300
around 79 degrees and anywhere from 85

62
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:46,380
to 90 Watts now as we transform this bad boy from notebook to battle station

63
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:51,540
let's take a look at the i o on the left we've got two 3.5 millimeter audio jacks

64
00:04:49,020 --> 00:04:56,520
and a USB 3 5 gigabit Port which currently has our Mouse dongle in it on

65
00:04:54,120 --> 00:05:00,780
the right we've got one of these half height gigabit Ethernet Jacks love to

66
00:04:58,979 --> 00:05:04,680
see that as well as two more USB 35 gigabit ports that we're going to use

67
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:09,000
for our gaming keyboard and a racing wheel and then where things get really

68
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:13,080
interesting it's right here there's a barrel type DC connector we can't get

69
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:19,380
away from that USB power delivery just cannot handle the same 180 Watts that

70
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:23,639
the included brick can but alongside it Thunderbolt 4 means we've got support

71
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:29,639
for daisy chaining Thunderbolt devices and with the HDMI and Mini DisplayPort

72
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:36,240
connectors gives us a total of three interfaces for high resolution monitors

73
00:05:32,460 --> 00:05:37,979
so now we're ready almost since we want

74
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:41,419
to get the absolute most out of this thing check this out

75
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:47,280
you might laugh but it's pretty well established that this can have a

76
00:05:45,539 --> 00:05:51,660
measurable impact on performance because it means all your intake nice and fresh

77
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:55,919
no restrictions and your exhaust is just taking that hot air away I can just

78
00:05:53,820 --> 00:06:00,600
imagine showing like the prototypical Apple user my setup here oh boy these

79
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:05,039
are not in the correct order let's go ahead and set up a Spanish display

80
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:12,000
configuration here oh crap and oh I missed it

81
00:06:09,900 --> 00:06:15,900
how is it that after all these years and with all the work NVIDIA puts into this

82
00:06:13,860 --> 00:06:19,860
feature for their commercial solutions that it's still this janky

83
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:26,520
you can tell there's literally dozens of people running these configs hibernaclees I have no way of clicking

84
00:06:23,819 --> 00:06:30,900
either confirm or deny on this window because I can't make it big enough to

85
00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:35,819
actually see it hello create custom resolution why is it grayed out it's

86
00:06:33,539 --> 00:06:41,940
been three days and one call with NVIDIA that had eight people on it but we've

87
00:06:39,060 --> 00:06:46,380
got it nailed down surround is working all we had to do was use custom

88
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:50,039
resolution utility because for whatever reason the NVIDIA control panel wasn't

89
00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:53,940
allowing us to set custom resolutions apparently they're going to be working

90
00:06:51,539 --> 00:06:58,919
on that so we used Cru to make sure that we matched our timings exactly between

91
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:04,740
the HDMI and DisplayPort monitors the point is none of that matters what

92
00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:06,780
matters is F1 2021 baby

93
00:07:04,740 --> 00:07:10,979
and how quiet are little tent mode machine is running here it comes

94
00:07:10,979 --> 00:07:18,960
so it's set to ultra high I think we should probably turn Ray tracing off we

95
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:23,099
should turn dlss on yeah quality dlss

96
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:26,940
okay oh this is for short statured

97
00:07:23,099 --> 00:07:28,380
people like me normal 27 FPS in menu I

98
00:07:26,940 --> 00:07:32,759
think we might have to get a little bit more reasonable here medium it still

99
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:37,440
looks pretty good in this game all right here we go boys oh okay our force

100
00:07:35,460 --> 00:07:42,479
feedback kicked in real good okay

101
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:44,539
hey see you later buddy oops oh oh no no

102
00:07:42,479 --> 00:07:50,340
no no no no no oh oh that's interesting the wheel

103
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:55,740
animations are just like nope this is a damn good looking game at

104
00:07:53,699 --> 00:08:02,220
medium settings and it's running at 40 FPS on a laptop at triple 4K I mean you

105
00:07:59,819 --> 00:08:06,240
go back to Linus Tech tips from five years ago I would have told you this is

106
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:09,060
impossible oh wow it's guiding me so much it's basically steering for me look

107
00:08:08,099 --> 00:08:11,599
at this oh

108
00:08:12,020 --> 00:08:17,900
my guy's like uh sorry about that GPU

109
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:23,220
utilization 99 no this is totally playable especially

110
00:08:20,099 --> 00:08:26,639
with g-sync like 40 FPS in a game like

111
00:08:23,220 --> 00:08:29,879
this that is absolutely playable I have

112
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:31,860
GPU temp settled in around 74. we can

113
00:08:29,879 --> 00:08:37,140
thank our tent mode operation over there for that and then our GPU video clock

114
00:08:33,719 --> 00:08:39,120
settled in around 900 high so just under

115
00:08:37,140 --> 00:08:44,640
a thousand megahertz I mean Steve from Gamers next is all like do maternal run

116
00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:46,740
on a toaster but at three by four k

117
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:50,880
significantly more CPU utilization here already so we might not see 95 watts to

118
00:08:49,200 --> 00:09:00,720
the GPU the laptop might have to allocate its power a little bit differently ah so we're running at 11

119
00:08:55,160 --> 00:09:02,339
520 by 2160. I'm gonna try High did I

120
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:08,339
say I was on high because I think what I meant to say was too high

121
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:10,440
it says 80 FPS but you can see how

122
00:09:08,339 --> 00:09:15,600
average FPS doesn't tell the whole story because our 99 frames per second so

123
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:20,220
whenever it dips are going down as low as in the mid 30s so let's go ahead and

124
00:09:18,060 --> 00:09:25,680
turn it down a little bit absolutely playable definitely struggling a little

125
00:09:22,740 --> 00:09:31,740
bit more on this one ah where's my chainsaw at there it is considering that

126
00:09:29,100 --> 00:09:36,959
this is a thin gaming laptop though the fact that I'm doing this at all is

127
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:39,180
insane like this is nuts yeah the render

128
00:09:36,959 --> 00:09:43,980
latency is a little higher than I would prefer and the dips are lower than I

129
00:09:41,339 --> 00:09:47,100
would prefer but it's not by any means unplayable

130
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:50,820
interestingly do maternal ended up delivering almost the same amount of

131
00:09:48,779 --> 00:09:55,220
power to the GPU just a little bit less and maintained just about exactly the

132
00:09:53,160 --> 00:10:00,240
same clock speeds foreign I think I managed to start a

133
00:09:58,380 --> 00:10:04,440
game with nobody else in it so I guess I'll win this is this is going to be sad

134
00:10:02,459 --> 00:10:08,700
for Rocket league players to watch here not that anyone would actually play CS

135
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:13,920
go like this but it does support the resolution properly let's give it a shot

136
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,399
surround the menus are terrible because no one would be dumb enough to do this

137
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:22,200
but except me except for me oh I died

138
00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:28,500
come on I just want to get one killed one killed no no no come on we're

139
00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:33,779
getting about 45 FPS supplement me where we going dog

140
00:10:31,019 --> 00:10:37,800
let me and me we're a team let me nine percent Health let me come on buddy

141
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:42,660
that's all the proof we need that even the most legit gaming gear won't make

142
00:10:39,660 --> 00:10:44,399
you an epic gamer but it gives you a

143
00:10:42,660 --> 00:10:49,320
chance and the fact that this thing runs games at triple 4K at all is incredibly

144
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:53,339
impressive so thanks origen for sponsoring this wacky experiment thanks

145
00:10:51,839 --> 00:10:57,540
you guys for watching check out the links to where you can find the Evo 17s

146
00:10:55,980 --> 00:11:00,600
in the video description they'll also have their other laptops they've got

147
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:04,320
thicker boys with much higher power limits for their gpus if you want the

148
00:11:02,519 --> 00:11:07,920
maximum performance in a portable form factor and I think that pretty much

149
00:11:06,540 --> 00:11:12,200
closes it out go to ltdstar.com Let's uh try a

150
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:16,579
different game first hey and that's why we have Breakaway

151
00:11:14,339 --> 00:11:16,579
cables
