1
00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:07,120
two gtx 1080 graphics cards and a single

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:09,440
laptop who would be crazy enough to do that

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:17,279
ASUS sagar acer and MSI

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:23,199
that's right my friends the laptops in our gaming roundup today are not for the

5
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:26,160
faint of heart or the faint of wallet

6
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:32,960
between them they have a total of eight gtx 1080s in them and they cost over 20

7
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,960
000

8
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:48,079
the white dark bass pro 900 from be quiet! features a modular design to

9
00:00:46,239 --> 00:00:51,840
support a variety of layouts and configurations check it out at the link

10
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,920
below let's meet the contestant starting with

11
00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:03,600
the np9873 from sagar the og of mobile sli

12
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:06,080
it's rocking a core i7 6700k CPU making

13
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:12,640
it the only machine with a sixth generation core processor but

14
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:15,360
it's also the only one using a desktop

15
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:21,119
CPU so that might end up being an advantage

16
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:24,880
next is the MSI gt83 titan sli whose

17
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:27,280
cherry mx mechanical keyboard and 18.4

18
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:31,680
inch display make it suitable for use as a weapon

19
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:34,720
moving on we've got the ASUS gx800 whose

20
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,920
highlights include a 4k g-sync display

21
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:41,840
and yes an outboard water cooling unit which

22
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:46,720
might give it an edge when we overclock these suckers later and finally coming

23
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:51,040
in at a whopping nine thousand dollars

24
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:57,600
the most bonkerdoodles laptop that we have ever laid our hands on with a

25
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:59,680
curved ultra wide 120hz g-sync display

26
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:05,600
a full mechanical keyboard and an included pelican case for transport the

27
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:10,000
acer predator 21x the test environment for this showdown

28
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:16,319
was our conference room held at 21 degrees and for all of the tests we set

29
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:19,840
all factory overclocking modes and fan speeds to max

30
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:24,640
loud yes unpleasantly loud

31
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:29,920
also yes but the goal of this video to use a car

32
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:31,520
analogy is to watch them drag race not

33
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:35,200
to discuss the resolution of their backup cameras

34
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:40,879
so for our first test we wanted to see which of these beasts could sustain the

35
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:46,319
highest CPU clock speed under a full load so we ran an id 64 stress test for

36
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:52,480
15 minutes then took the average temperature clock speed and power draw

37
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,480
in watts for the next five

38
00:02:52,480 --> 00:03:00,000
after an ear shattering quarter of an hour a winter emerged and if you guessed

39
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:05,840
that the laptop with water cooling had the best cooling results you would be

40
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:11,159
totally incorrect actually believe it or not the laptop that best tamed its

41
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:14,000
quad-core CPU was the sagar

42
00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:18,640
np9873 coming in at just under four gigahertz average

43
00:03:16,239 --> 00:03:24,720
now you might remember from our review that the gx800 was able to operate at

44
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:27,120
4.1 gigahertz but remember we were using

45
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:32,480
their overclocking software to overclock and that required some undervolting ASUS

46
00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:36,080
factory overclock is a little bit too generous with the voltage

47
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:40,159
perhaps even more surprising than the clock speed winner is the fact that in

48
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,319
spite of their size none of these devices ran at a

49
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:49,200
comfortable temperature at these clock speeds with the predator 21x being the

50
00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:54,879
most frequent throttler with occasional trips down to 800 megahertz

51
00:03:52,239 --> 00:03:59,439
time for a cinebench speed run where thanks to the quick duration of the test

52
00:03:56,959 --> 00:04:05,200
the gx800 pulled out a convincing victory with a score of 946

53
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:08,319
just ahead of the predator 21x single threaded results were a similar

54
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:12,080
story but of course if you've got this much

55
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:16,400
money to spend on a gaming laptop you've probably got a separate workstation for

56
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:21,759
all of that kind of stuff so let's get to the gaming results all tests were

57
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:25,680
done at 1080p ultra details and with fxaa enabled for an apples to apples

58
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:30,960
comparison in rise of the tomb raider directx 12

59
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:33,280
the gx800 pulled off a clear win and the

60
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:38,400
predator 21x showed the value of tweaking factory settings

61
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:43,600
by disabling acer's predator software and slowing our overclock down to turbo

62
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,720
we actually managed to solve some fairly unpleasant stuttering issues so we'll

63
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:52,040
use these settings for the rest of our tests in directx 11 we see a different story

64
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:57,280
the segger np9873 stomped all over the other

65
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:03,120
laptops putting up similar numbers to directx 12 while the rest took a big hit

66
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:08,000
the story remained the same in deus ex as well with the water cooled gx800

67
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:13,199
proving that once again it's the king of directx 12 and with the segger taking

68
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:18,880
the crown in directx 11. there must be something about directx 11 that favors

69
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,720
its desktop CPU while the mobile chips

70
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:25,680
are being more effectively used in the newer API a hypothesis that was

71
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:30,960
strengthened when the cs go scores favored the sagger once again

72
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:34,639
our last gaming test is for honor where the overall trend of the video continues

73
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:39,360
to not be a thing weird

74
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:44,720
so the predator 21x takes home its first victory here leading us to conclude then

75
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:49,280
that if you're shopping for the fastest bestest laptop out there

76
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:55,280
there isn't going to be a clear winner in every possible category on to battery

77
00:05:53,039 --> 00:06:00,000
life then it was well what did you guys really expect it

78
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:04,479
was a poop show they're gaming laptops not thin and lights

79
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:11,360
leading us then to conclusion time the only laptop that didn't bring home a

80
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:13,120
single metal was the MSI gt83 titan but

81
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:17,280
it was also the most consistent performer across the board thanks to its

82
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:21,280
lower clock speeds and less frequent thermal throttling maybe MSI's engineers

83
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:26,479
figured the extra performance wouldn't matter anyway because of its 1080p 60hz

84
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:30,319
display so as usual

85
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,639
it's not as simple as which one is the fastest the gx800 might look like an

86
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:40,080
obvious choice but if you want to use the external dock

87
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:42,479
to get an estimated 10 performance boost

88
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:47,120
it literally requires you to carry around a luggage to keep it in

89
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:52,400
and the sagger might look compelling on paper but it is probably the most

90
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:56,880
obnoxious sounding of all of them while gaming

91
00:06:54,160 --> 00:07:03,759
for all of these laptops the factors i just listed and so many more ultimately

92
00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:07,599
impact the gaming experience so the beauty of any one of them is

93
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:13,280
really in the eye of the beholder meaning that the only way for us to

94
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:16,800
declare a clear winner here is to ignore

95
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:18,400
subjective factors and focus entirely on

96
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:23,919
objective ones bringing us to our final recommendation

97
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:28,560
a gaming desktop and a more portable laptop

98
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:31,759
and you could probably throw in an egpu for your portable laptop while you're at

99
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:36,960
it squarespace makes it easy to build your
