WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.620 origin sponsored this video featuring the new Evo 17s it's compact like a 00:00:06.359 --> 00:00:12.120 machine that you'd actually consider carrying around with you at just five 00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:16.980 pounds 0.78 inches but I don't consider it a conflict with my framework share 00:00:13.980 --> 00:00:19.320 since it's a very different class of 00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:27.779 machine boasting the grunt of a fully fledged desktop setup thanks to its RTX 00:00:22.020 --> 00:00:30.960 3080 Max Q GPU and 8 core core i7 11800h 00:00:27.779 --> 00:00:34.800 or is it to find out we will be pushing 00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:37.260 it to its absolute limits attempting to 00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:42.960 run demanding AAA games on not just the built-in display but on one 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:51.800 two three external 4K displays 00:00:48.899 --> 00:00:51.800 can it do it 00:00:58.699 --> 00:01:05.400 let's start with a quick look at the machine for customization origin offers 00:01:02.699 --> 00:01:09.659 hydro dipping laser etching and UV prints like what we've got featured here 00:01:07.380 --> 00:01:13.680 they'll definitely make it harder to blend in if you want to stealthily game 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 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 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 00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:30.540 guts our unit is absolutely tricked out 00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:35.220 which is fortunate because we are going to need all the mustard we can get get 00:01:33.540 --> 00:01:39.680 it Colin if you have maximum mustard your your opponents can't catch up 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:46.259 there it goes hey all right right here's our CPU so 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 00:01:49.500 --> 00:01:57.240 of Corsair Vengeance ddr4 memory running in dual Channel regrettably it's at 26 00:01:54.540 --> 00:02:00.899 66 Mega transfers per second but my bet is that this is due to the ongoing 00:01:58.740 --> 00:02:07.020 silicon shortage because it's out of stock our storage though is a whopping 00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:09.599 two terabytes of mp600 pro PCI Express 00:02:07.020 --> 00:02:15.720 Gen 4 goodness and this right here is about to be the hardest working RTX 3080 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:18.660 Max Q on the planet once we've got three 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 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 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 00:02:30.300 --> 00:02:36.780 battery that gave this design about three hours in the modern office PC Mark 00:02:34.739 --> 00:02:40.860 test looks like our exploratory surgery wasn't fatal so let's go ahead use the 00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:46.140 fingerprint sensor to sign in and then talk a little bit about the keyboard and 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:49.980 trackpad this is a big area where gaming laptops have improved over the last few 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:53.160 years this trackpad remember the little tiny ones we used to get on gaming 00:02:51.300 --> 00:02:56.879 laptops nice and big if you like the clicky left and right buttons you'll 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 00:02:59.340 --> 00:03:07.620 and as for the keyboard it has per key RGB backlighting and overall actually a 00:03:05.220 --> 00:03:12.120 surprisingly good feel oh I have the caps lock on that won't help there's 00:03:09.060 --> 00:03:14.280 more deck Flex than I'd like but somehow 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:18.420 it doesn't really seem to affect the typing experience much and when you 00:03:16.379 --> 00:03:23.099 consider that this is a 17 inch model that is a little bit more common the 00:03:21.300 --> 00:03:27.659 trackpad uses Windows Precision drivers which combined with the 300 Hertz 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:31.680 display option that we chose makes for an extremely responsive feeling 00:03:29.519 --> 00:03:36.599 experience and the display doesn't have any kind of HDR certification or 00:03:34.379 --> 00:03:41.580 anything like that but it does get at least reasonably bright for a pretty 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 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:50.340 sound up oh God I don't remember how many watts the included speakers are 00:03:48.239 --> 00:03:54.540 they're adequate we're playing competitive here ladies and gentlemen oh 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 00:03:58.739 --> 00:04:08.180 take advantage of a 300 Hertz display on this laptop the answer is absolutely yes 00:04:04.500 --> 00:04:12.540 we're getting like 250 to 300 FPS 00:04:08.180 --> 00:04:16.199 no come on come on just come in here oh 00:04:12.540 --> 00:04:18.180 no you're so mean no you know what it's 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 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 00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:30.419 slim chassis and our temps maxed out at 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 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:39.360 play another round Hardware info looks like it's leveled out now we're getting 00:04:35.280 --> 00:04:42.300 around 79 degrees and anywhere from 85 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:46.380 to 90 Watts now as we transform this bad boy from notebook to battle station 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 00:04:49.020 --> 00:04:56.520 and a USB 3 5 gigabit Port which currently has our Mouse dongle in it on 00:04:54.120 --> 00:05:00.780 the right we've got one of these half height gigabit Ethernet Jacks love to 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 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:09.000 for our gaming keyboard and a racing wheel and then where things get really 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:13.080 interesting it's right here there's a barrel type DC connector we can't get 00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:19.380 away from that USB power delivery just cannot handle the same 180 Watts that 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:23.639 the included brick can but alongside it Thunderbolt 4 means we've got support 00:05:21.780 --> 00:05:29.639 for daisy chaining Thunderbolt devices and with the HDMI and Mini DisplayPort 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:36.240 connectors gives us a total of three interfaces for high resolution monitors 00:05:32.460 --> 00:05:37.979 so now we're ready almost since we want 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:41.419 to get the absolute most out of this thing check this out 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:47.280 you might laugh but it's pretty well established that this can have a 00:05:45.539 --> 00:05:51.660 measurable impact on performance because it means all your intake nice and fresh 00:05:49.440 --> 00:05:55.919 no restrictions and your exhaust is just taking that hot air away I can just 00:05:53.820 --> 00:06:00.600 imagine showing like the prototypical Apple user my setup here oh boy these 00:05:59.100 --> 00:06:05.039 are not in the correct order let's go ahead and set up a Spanish display 00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:12.000 configuration here oh crap and oh I missed it 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 00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:19.860 feature for their commercial solutions that it's still this janky 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 00:06:23.819 --> 00:06:30.900 either confirm or deny on this window because I can't make it big enough to 00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:35.819 actually see it hello create custom resolution why is it grayed out it's 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 00:06:39.060 --> 00:06:46.380 got it nailed down surround is working all we had to do was use custom 00:06:44.520 --> 00:06:50.039 resolution utility because for whatever reason the NVIDIA control panel wasn't 00:06:48.300 --> 00:06:53.940 allowing us to set custom resolutions apparently they're going to be working 00:06:51.539 --> 00:06:58.919 on that so we used Cru to make sure that we matched our timings exactly between 00:06:56.520 --> 00:07:04.740 the HDMI and DisplayPort monitors the point is none of that matters what 00:07:00.900 --> 00:07:06.780 matters is F1 2021 baby 00:07:04.740 --> 00:07:10.979 and how quiet are little tent mode machine is running here it comes 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 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:23.099 should turn dlss on yeah quality dlss 00:07:18.960 --> 00:07:26.940 okay oh this is for short statured 00:07:23.099 --> 00:07:28.380 people like me normal 27 FPS in menu I 00:07:26.940 --> 00:07:32.759 think we might have to get a little bit more reasonable here medium it still 00:07:30.960 --> 00:07:37.440 looks pretty good in this game all right here we go boys oh okay our force 00:07:35.460 --> 00:07:42.479 feedback kicked in real good okay 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:44.539 hey see you later buddy oops oh oh no no 00:07:42.479 --> 00:07:50.340 no no no no no oh oh that's interesting the wheel 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:55.740 animations are just like nope this is a damn good looking game at 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 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 00:08:04.080 --> 00:08:09.060 impossible oh wow it's guiding me so much it's basically steering for me look 00:08:08.099 --> 00:08:11.599 at this oh 00:08:12.020 --> 00:08:17.900 my guy's like uh sorry about that GPU 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:23.220 utilization 99 no this is totally playable especially 00:08:20.099 --> 00:08:26.639 with g-sync like 40 FPS in a game like 00:08:23.220 --> 00:08:29.879 this that is absolutely playable I have 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.860 GPU temp settled in around 74. we can 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:37.140 thank our tent mode operation over there for that and then our GPU video clock 00:08:33.719 --> 00:08:39.120 settled in around 900 high so just under 00:08:37.140 --> 00:08:44.640 a thousand megahertz I mean Steve from Gamers next is all like do maternal run 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:46.740 on a toaster but at three by four k 00:08:44.640 --> 00:08:50.880 significantly more CPU utilization here already so we might not see 95 watts to 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 00:08:55.160 --> 00:09:02.339 520 by 2160. I'm gonna try High did I 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:08.339 say I was on high because I think what I meant to say was too high 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:10.440 it says 80 FPS but you can see how 00:09:08.339 --> 00:09:15.600 average FPS doesn't tell the whole story because our 99 frames per second so 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 00:09:18.060 --> 00:09:25.680 turn it down a little bit absolutely playable definitely struggling a little 00:09:22.740 --> 00:09:31.740 bit more on this one ah where's my chainsaw at there it is considering that 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 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:39.180 insane like this is nuts yeah the render 00:09:36.959 --> 00:09:43.980 latency is a little higher than I would prefer and the dips are lower than I 00:09:41.339 --> 00:09:47.100 would prefer but it's not by any means unplayable 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:50.820 interestingly do maternal ended up delivering almost the same amount of 00:09:48.779 --> 00:09:55.220 power to the GPU just a little bit less and maintained just about exactly the 00:09:53.160 --> 00:10:00.240 same clock speeds foreign I think I managed to start a 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 00:10:02.459 --> 00:10:08.700 for Rocket league players to watch here not that anyone would actually play CS 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:13.920 go like this but it does support the resolution properly let's give it a shot 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:17.399 surround the menus are terrible because no one would be dumb enough to do this 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:22.200 but except me except for me oh I died 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 00:10:25.560 --> 00:10:33.779 getting about 45 FPS supplement me where we going dog 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 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 00:10:39.660 --> 00:10:44.399 you an epic gamer but it gives you a 00:10:42.660 --> 00:10:49.320 chance and the fact that this thing runs games at triple 4K at all is incredibly 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:53.339 impressive so thanks origen for sponsoring this wacky experiment thanks 00:10:51.839 --> 00:10:57.540 you guys for watching check out the links to where you can find the Evo 17s 00:10:55.980 --> 00:11:00.600 in the video description they'll also have their other laptops they've got 00:10:59.040 --> 00:11:04.320 thicker boys with much higher power limits for their gpus if you want the 00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:07.920 maximum performance in a portable form factor and I think that pretty much 00:11:06.540 --> 00:11:12.200 closes it out go to ltdstar.com Let's uh try a 00:11:11.040 --> 00:11:16.579 different game first hey and that's why we have Breakaway 00:11:14.339 --> 00:11:16.579 cables
