It is way too soon for 4K gaming.
A very very high priced 4k laptop that cannot run games at 4k. Perfect!
I don't think anyone is buying a laptop today expecting to game at 4k.
You're better off building a pc.
People buying this laptop will be a very specific group of people who know exactly why they're getting it.
I’m getting it for the 4K for other stuff and plan to run at lower resolutions and higher frame rates. Like having the option to do either instead of always being locked at 1080p.
@@handlealreadytaken It is problematic to use lower resolutions than native resolution of your display. A native 1080p display would look much better than your 4k display with 1080p content in it. I think it would be best to buy a secondary monitor like 1440p for gaming purposes
@@amex4453 My frustration was about 3000 mobile cards. We all know that Nvidia done a good job with desktop versions as they are free to increase chip size and voltage in a desktop case. In laptops it's bit different as Samsungs 8nm process is much inferior to TSMC 7nm node in watt/performance numbers. I think coming radeon mobile graphics cards will be better than RTX 3000 mobile cards. Thats why nvidia so scared of it and they secured orders for tsmc 5nm process 1 year ago.
@@handlealreadytaken That is what I do with my Razer Blade 17 4K. I use 4K to video edit, and 1080p or 1440p to game, it works perfectly.
Who games at 4k with a 17 or 15 inch screen? Its practically pointless to benchmark the card at this resolution. 1080p or 1440p benchmarks would be more realistic and helpful.
Are you freaking kidding me? My laptop with dual GTX 1080 could max out all the games that came out that year at 4K 60 frames or more. What the f*** are you talking about you're saying that we should just buy weaker gpus because you want to play 2K, 1080p or 720? Are you serious?
@@1415gatewayable
Are you on drugs kiddo?
Drugs are bad, you should stop taking them, not everyone can afford 4000 euro laptops just to get 20% more frames, what he is saying is true, 4k even on a 17 inch screen is virtually identical to 1440p duo to pixel density. In blind test, no one can spot the difference.
@@SMGJohn there are plenty of budget laptops for those on a budget, why are you watching a Zephyrus duo? Asus has a budget Tuf line.
@@1415gatewayable You really are dumb, aren't you? It doesnt matter if your pc could play all the games on 4k 60fps. All that matters is you dont nned that many pixels while gaming because you wont be able to identify the pixels after a certain point and therefore it wont be wise to play at 4k on such a tiny screen. I rhink most of the people here will agree that 1440p is the sweet spot for resolution and fps with these new gpus
So quit the drugs and continue to live off your parents. Stop badmouthing people just because you werent loved as a kid
@@Supcharged This doent have anything to do with money or this being a premium product. Would you waste performance because of a thing you cant even notice? Probably no. 2160p is just too much for a 17 inch panel
Thank you!! The model I ordered. 4K for work and can reduce to 1080p for max FPS gaming
I was thinking the same and will do the same. Just a bit disappointed it does not have HDMI 2.1
@@mjaminian it has DisplayPort 1.4 through USB-C which is basically HDMI 2.1
@@Creeper99PL thats exactly what i was trying to figure out, can you confirm that its actually DP 1.4 in the USB Type C? Just wanted to make sure that you can hook it up to a 4k TV or Display and get 4k 120hz
Same bro , Are you a designer or something ? I wanna ask you a question .
@@Karar-yn5vh game developer: lots of code and some art
Thanks for the review, so no buy 4k for laptops yet, got it.
50/50. I watched yesterday a video with the 4K laptop from the Msi and its performance was way better than this one(well not that much, but there was stably 60+FPS, 45fps 1%, 30fps 0.1%). If I will be able to find this and my comment won’t be delete I will attaché the link for the video, but I’m sure you can easily find it on TH-cam
Thanks, I still think 2k is the best for laptop gaming with a 15inc screen or more. These 3000 gpus and amd cpus should be able to run 2k panels well.
@@xzrtrain7181 yeah, that's true. I think there's only FHD and 4k because of the movies? Cause I don't see any other reasons why companies don't produce laptops with 2k
@@CloudWorld well the good thing is that some companies like asus and eluktronics are making screens in 2k, and legion has one or two models with 2k screen.
Anything below 35 inches is a waste at 4k you won't see any difference between that and 1440p. Don't understand why everyone thinks 4k is viable. 4k screens on phones is some next level fuckery.
Hey all, we read all the comments and yes - we'll do a follow-up with 1080p and 1440p tests for certain games.
We'll also be using BIOS and NVIDIA drivers that are publicly available, not these pre-released ones.
EDIT: Here it is!
th-cam.com/video/-68LB3FmMiE/w-d-xo.html
Yes! Exactly what I want to see! I would love to see how this performs scaled down to 1080p/ 1440p on games like Cyberpunk/ COD Warzone live/ etc
Warzone? Sure.
@@TechCritter Yeah dude CSGO isn't ever really played that high. 1080p max details and also 1080p low details would be appreciated. A lot of people want to reach the consistent 300fps+ and don't care about the level of details.
That is true, most of us aren't esports players. That's why we tried in highest graphical settings.
Here's the test!
th-cam.com/video/-68LB3FmMiE/w-d-xo.html
Did you disable optimus? Looks like the igpu is still active which would heavily bottleneck the performance.
That was something that I thought was happening too. Double-confirmed that is not the case, though.
@@TechCritter Perhaps its a driver problem. The performace you're getting doesnt match up with what im seeing from other 3080 laptops with lower power limits and 8gb of vram.
This gen of Rog laptops u can’t use optimus to shut igpu, this is because Ryzen did not come up with a solution to support it. Therefore there will be bottleneck using its own screen but you can link a secondary screen to get rid of the bottleneck situation
Must have stayed up late to push this review out the door. Thanks.
Id love to see a test with 3440x1440 resolution that would be amazing !
its 1920 X 1080!
can you make a comparison review with the last gen zephyrus duo?
That's a really good comparison
it's probably not gonna be a considerable gain in game frame rates compared to the last gen cuz the new gen lacks MUX switch. For productivity, it should be a huge step for getting a zen 3 chip and 3070/3080. 3080 offers 16GB ram for GPU renderer and deep learning.
Should have a qhd screen. Such a waste to put a 4k panel on such a small machine. Many many frames have been lost
I agree, plus 4k on that size of a display isnt really that beneficial
I can forgive it for not running at 4K very well while gaming. I feel like the 4K part is for content creation and such and then it is meant to be turned down to 1440 or 1080 for gaming to use that 120herz. There’s also the 300hertz 1080p model if you won’t use that 4K for content creation, so if you don’t need it for anything other than gaming, there’s that option.
yes exactly. i think this point gets missed. you really can't tell the difference between 4k and 1080p on a 15" screen. also i read up on 4k scaling and as long as you play in 1080p you won't see any loss in image quality (bluriness from downscaling) when gaming
@cesar arias No lmao. Anyone who has ever played any game before will always change settings. Also lmao how does clicking on the shortcut matter? Settings have to be changed in game anyways unless titles like SOTM
good review but you should still compare it to the 2080 so we can see the jump in performance
JR Claridad May not even be any @ 1080p...
I'm so happy to see a Singaporean reviewer here
Thanks, I guess no 4K gaming for rtx 3080 laptop gpus
Come check my latest vids - 4k gaming from a 100w gpu
Can you confirm that the HDMI is indeed 2.0b like stated in the spec sheet. Because that would make this great Laptop useless for anyone who wants to hook it up to a large monitor/tv with 4k @ 120Hz. And I don't understand why they would use HDMI 2.0b instead of 2.1 like most (all?) other manfucaturers of the new laptops with RTX 3000 series...
please compare it to last gen of duo 15 (should we wait for this laptop to release or buy rtx 2080 i9 model right now??)
I'd love to compare with that laptop but unfortunately, we do not have that laptop with us anymore.
i was a little excited for nothing. :( my alienware m17 r3 (i9 + 2080 super 150w) gets better benchmark results. im glad i held of the purchase.
Nah fam there's something very well wrong with this. His benchmark results are lower than other laptops with lower TDP's. But tbh, if you have that...I'd still very clearly not recommend you to upgrade this gen..
Extremely disappointed. Was hoping that this year version would be with hdmi 2.1 and webcam and it did not materialise. Most hard core gamers connect to an external monitor at home and its ludicrous that we cant game at more than 60mhz at 4k for mid range games which would be able to produce more than 60mhz at 4k using an external monitor such as mmorpg titles. Taking into consideration that now students are forced to study from home and people have to work from home too, I find it hard to comprehend why Asus did not include a webcam too. Considering that the new razer blade 17 would most probably include a 120mhz 4k screen , hdmi 2.1 and a webcam, i find it hard pressed to pay a premium on top of the razer blade when the only win this laptop has compared to the razer blade 17 is the second display. Who the hell is Asus smoking? Would now be waiting for the new razer blade 17 instead
Don’t go to razer lmao, that 90 watts 3080 max q with outdated super hot and slower 10th gen cpu will make ur already running extremely hot razer even hotter, even with liquid metal if u chose to do that urself which asus does to all its model
@@jackli1662 Right now seeing this performance from this laptop...the Razer would perform the same..Also I think he's talking about the proper lineups in May which have 11th Gen. Razer is still just a much better option than ASUS
@@shreshtajaiswal7415 razer has 90 watts 3080 max q while this has 130 watts 3080 max p, u get a shit amount of performance boost and extra 8GB of VRAM from this one
@@jackli1662 The extra VRAM ain't helping you unless a creator..and I'm sure you saw the benchmarks here...and I refuse to believe that is 130watts. Either this is a defective piece. Or the laptop is just built terribly. Or could be just no Optimus...causing a huge bottleneck.
@@jackli1662 And yeah the Razer is most definitely a better CPU too when it actually launches...so..yeah...idk man...looks like ASUS is again worse. The only reason you'd go for ASUS at that price range is if you're just way too tight on that same budget. Otherwise MSI and Razer are always a much better option.
People want to play games at 1440p QHD. Trying to play at 4k on a 15" laptops is just silly.
To be fair, they market this model towards content creators on the website. They have another option with a lower resolution and higher refresh rate. I can’t remember if it’s 1080p or 1440p, but I think it was 300hertz
@@zakarymcleod1850 that's the 1080p fhd panel. In 2021 I'd like to play at 1440p qhd 165hz, hope the laptop gpus can play them all at decent FPS rates on ultra settings
Most but not all 4K laptops I've had in the past allowed you to easily set your games to 1440p as one of the available resolution options and I usually would settle on 1440p for better performance when gaming, but leave the desktop at 4K for everything else. Does this one make switching to 1440p in games easy without needing to create a custom resolution?
TBH when people say "1440p on a 1440p display looks better than 1440p on a 4K display", that just hasn't been my experience. I've had both and a 4K display makes even lower resolutions look better because of the reduced screen door effect, while adding no notable blur from what I can see even side by side. Maybe older displays had poor resolution scaling but any recent displays I've used always handle lower resolutions great if not better than one with that as their native resolution. That's not to mention most modern games have resolution scalers built in that let you keep the UI at full 4K while rendering the 3D graphics at a lower res.
you are correct in this, the game engine can simply render the graphics in 1440p or 1080p then the scaler will intelligently scale to the screen. Heck, if the game engine allows, you can even try to render at 8K then scale down to 4K... well it is something people do on lower res display + high-end system, such as render at 1440p but output to 1080p monitor
@@TechCritter Yeah, so since 1440p is always still an option, I've never really understood gamers' aversion to 4K screens. You're not FORCED to render games at 4K. I guess the only drawback has traditionally been that most 4K screens were stuck at 60Hz but this one does 120Hz so it seems like the best of both worlds. 4K 120Hz on the desktop, videos, browsing, work, etc. 1440p or even 1080p 120Hz for games.
I’ll stick with the 2020 G14, it already can play Doom Eternal at ultra settings in 1080p
No need for more than that
These results are pathetic. Less fps than my Laptop with 1660TI Max q on 1080p. I know its 4k vs fullHD but this 3080 should make a bigger difference compared to my max q 1660TI than the resolution overall. Waste of money, see what amd will release this year
Here's the updated test with current drivers.
th-cam.com/video/-68LB3FmMiE/w-d-xo.html
Will the 3080 restock or will I have no chance to grab it if I wait?
That's something that I can't tell for sure. Maybe?
The gamer version should’ve come with the 165hz 2k screen. That would’ve been the sweet spot.
Can we get realistic benchmarks nobody is going to play apex at anything higher than 1440p
Something is definitely bottlenecking that laptop and it's neither the CPU nor GPU.
It's the gpu.
Too little wattage.
What online computer stores in Malaysia sell the "Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15.6 SE"? Can you kindly advise, pls?

I would say that your unit is very flawed or you don’t have the settings right, you can access them on screen pad plus, because my last ten i9 with 2070 was getting better results than this.
th-cam.com/video/-68LB3FmMiE/w-d-xo.html
This results are fake, impossible.. very low for 3080 130w
Yeah probably some flaw with his unit. Other models with lower TGP's perform better. Or could be just a driver issue for this
Why you don't test play game at 1080p with RTX3080. That more common when playing game. 4k more to editing. I really hope you will test 4k & 1080p ingame. Even just 120hz display at least we can see the perfomanced at 1080p haha. Oh ya 4K 120hz because when you have use display more than 100hz, your eye will hurt see 60hz. I think that's why Asus using 4K 120hz plus their can doing that's and why not use. Hahahaha
So no 2080 ti to performance?
Just a suggestion. Try to include timestamps. Saves times. Good review. Btw
I don't get these hardware configs asus is using. If you want a 3080 in the zephyrus duo you can't get the 1440p screen and are forced into getting the 2 x 1TB ssds. If you want the 5980hs in the flow x13 you have to get the 4k screen. If you want the 3080 and a 1440p 165Hz screen you have to get the Zephyrus g15 with the lower tdps and 8gb vram. Then the 300Hz 1080p screens are paired with 3070s and 3060s that can't sustain 300 fps in modern AAA titles while the mobile cpu is probably going to be a bottleneck for older games.
2021 is better now
2020 not :/
Laptop is cripples the 3080 because it limits power to 105 TGP, the MSI is the only laptop that actually is able to supply 155 watts
Which MSI laptop? And where's this 155W number shown?
@@TechCritter MSI GP76 Leopard 10UH offers the gpus 155 watts, and uses a 280 watt power supply to supply the CPU the full 45 watts. The rest of the mfgs are playing games juggling power around, so no point in getting anything higher than a 3070.
I can't seem to find any information about the 155W, do you have a link for that?
there is no way it runs that bad, you did something wrong, pushed the review without doing any research.
We had disclaimed that this review is based on preproduction BIOS and driver.
Is there a high-frequency noise problem?
You mean coil whine? nope.
Great video dude 👍 thank you been looking for a good video on this laptop before I buy.
Glad you liked it!
4k gaming in a laptop? are you insane?
Personally, I feel like the 4K display is more for stuff other than gaming and it’s meant to be turned down when playing games for the best experience. They call it the creators version on the website because the 4K isn’t necessarily meant for 4K gaming, and they have a 1080p 300hertz model for people who won’t use it for anything other than gaming.
@@zakarymcleod1850 True. On PC 4K situations are a bit different as the 3090 usually suffices for most games and you can always turn a few useless settings down, and well, on a 27inch, you really do see the difference between 1440p and 4K..on a 15inch screen? I don't think so...
I’m a first time viewer and I personally think that there was a lack of showing performance of different resolutions, like 1080p or 1440p, which is more realistic on a laptop, badly chosen settings for benchmarks (like Cyberpunk but especially for GTA V, as there is no way in hell that this machine, which has an even higher 3D Mark TimeSpy score than my desktop computer, performs that bad in GTA V at 4k Max. I doubt that that’s all down to the driver). I think there is also a lack of more CPU intensive benchmarks, thermal benchmarks and noise benchmarks. To me, this review seems a bit half-assed. Feels a bit like not much thought has gone into it. Your audio and video quality is good, now bring the same level of quality into the review, don’t try to rush your videos (even though this is a brand new product). Try to go more in dept. I would like to see an improvement with the aforementioned things in future reviews, even if that takes a bit of research on what would be best in those cases, but it would massively benefit your reviews and the amount of versatile and accurate information brought to us viewers.
Great video, thank you!
SE = Special Edition
removing dual GPU support was a really big mistake.
It's not removed permanently. It's being re-worked. Both AMD and Nvidia are working on chiplet-based graphics solutions whose cores software is more or less agnostic towards. Not something we had with SLI.
Forget 4k in laptops
for now
By the time 4K gaming is normal for laptops it will be like RTX 5000 or 6000 series and likely a special gaming performance mode that will only work when plugged in and will default back to 1080p-1440p on battery depending on the game
@@bryanmiller476 So? How is that different from "forget 1080p" and "forget 1440p"?
Interesting fact is that I am able to buy this machine right NOW here in Switzerland and get it tomorrow. But it appears that only 10 days ago, you where still on pre-release drivers etc? I would hope that for 4400 CHF they ship a stable unit....
We did an updated test with public drivers.
th-cam.com/video/-68LB3FmMiE/w-d-xo.html
This is definitely a driver issue, those numbers are horrible
More than just a driver issue. We have a follow-up video on this that fixed many of the issues.
SE means Special Edition. I know they took out the max-P and max-Q. But I think its for the best, that way we know exactly the wattage going into it. I suppose it is less consumer friendly but for the enthusiast who is going to spend the extra money, its the data they want.
Exactly. It's still up to the manufacturer if they want to list the wattage or not. Mix that up with Dynamic Boost 2.0, you'll get even more numbers lol
I say again, the 30 series mobile is not as good as the 20 series. Not sure when people are going to realize it.

Can you play PS5 on the laptop`s screen at 4k resolution? =)
You'll still need a 4K capture card to do that
@@TechCritter i thought i just plug a cable and that would be it :/
Sir, can u do a benchmark test for Lumion 11 Pro ??? .... Just want to know if it works without lags... I m planning to upgrade to this laptop... Just wanted to make sure if that's compatible...
No there is a problem with driver or configuration.. this pc have 3080 130w and that result is impossible
it has a 2080 super. this dude is a liar
Laptops used to be really expensive because they had more power and they had dual gpus so they shouldn't be trying to sell laptops now like if they had dual gpus.
Why 15inch yuck
Does it have webcam?
thanks for this review, subbed!
Awesome, thank you!
Crazy beast laptop
Hi there, I got the same notebook GX551QS for testing purposes... but on mine it seams that RAID is disabled. Can you check on yours in the Bios options if this is available to Select Raid0 Raid1 etc.? Thank you very much
How many SSDs are installed in your laptop? Ours have 2x1TB, which is why RAID 0 is enabled.
@@TechCritter also 2x 1TB. But in BIOS its only possible to select AHCI Mode
I'm not sure what's going on, but:
1. Is Windows detecting 2x1TB or 1x2TB?
2. Run CrystalDiskMark and see what's the speed
@@TechCritter Windows is detecting 2x 1TB :-( can you please make a CrystalDiskMark or AsSSD benchmark? to compare? Also can u check what BIOS version u have? I got 4.0.0 and under Advanced Settings I dont have a RAID mode only AHCI.
One more question! Doesn't constant adaptor connectivity hurt the battery of such machines?
Modern laptops has smart battery management whereby it will stop charging once the battery is full.
@@TechCritterThanks for the prompt message. I do appreciate your sense of responsibility.
To get the best performance of the GPU you have to connect the GPU to an external monitor. The Optimus is affecting performance
That totally defeats the purpose of a laptop
@@TechCritter Not all laptops are that way. This unit you need to do that. If you are plugging a VR headset then is ok
can we get a 1080p benchmarks to see how the cpu performs and maybe a 1440p to see how the gpu performs please but it looks like it would be close to previous generation 2080s I hope I am wrong and we get a good boost
Yep, will do
@@TechCritter thanks allot
Is this even being sold lol, I can’t find the rtx3080 model anywhere only the 3070
Not yes this is a pre-release version he has received they are releasing the 4K screen and 3080 till May
3070 version will arrive in stores first before the 3080, then again, the actual availability still depends on your country's distribution network
@@TechCritter oh no I get that but why is that?
As a creator don’t know why you need 120hz ?
120Hz benefits everyone. Even casual scrolling and just everyday work also benefits from a higher refresh rate. Yes it's much more important for gamers, but that's not to say that everyone won't benefit from it.
No, it's a waste of money. ASUS puts 120Hz because they want users to play games when not creating videos or something - but gotta scale down below 4K resolution for that.
@@TechCritter It's not a waste of money. I doubt anyone would try that as even a native display looks better than a downscaled one. But I mean yeah... you're not wrong.
For the price, desktop with better performance and same specs is like 40% better than this, anyways is a good laptop but very expensive
Well u can't buy a 5900 that isn't overpriced and u can't buy a 3080 without it being overpriced. For the price of a 3080 u can buy a laptop with a 3070 that's ready to run out of the box and game 😂
@@T0MMY561 actually a good desktop with a 5900 and - 3080 is less than 2K usd... do u even know how much is a laptop with a 3070 rtx mobile +??? 3K and above, everything u just said doesnt make sense
@@cheporestrepo a 5900 and a 3080 assuming u can find them and not get scalped prices will be more expensive because u also need a monitor and a keyboard and a mouse. If u throw a 5900 and a 3080 in a PC and get every other part from the bottom of the barrel cheapest parts u could probably go under that price. Also asus has the rog strix scar with a 5900HX, 3080 max p, 32gb ram, 1TB SSD, 165hz 1440p display and it's $2700. Also u get the portability of taking it wherever u want to go. I'm planning on buying the rog strix scar 15 when it's released because I'm tired of waiting to build a PC and I'm not paying scalped prices to build a pc.
Depending on your experience, can installing a 32gb bench, reaching 48gb, degrade performance compared to 32gb (16+16)?
so if you have learnt anything about this by now,please let me know
The benchmark is pretty bad, this must be a driver issue, there is no way this could be bottleneck(mainly bc the specs of this machine)
It could be. That's why we mentioned the test results here are to be taken with a grain of salt since we're using pre-released drivers.
Agree benchmark sux. But most probably its due to the beta drivers or the syncronisation between the new AMD CPUs and nvidia 3000 series cards
Thanks 👍. I expected this model to had at least 140 W TDP. :(
Any chance you could fire up nicehash and see how it performs mining? Curious where it slots against the desktop cards.
My blade 17 with the 100w 3080 gets an identical timespy score
Not surprised with Time Spy. But sustained load (e.g. gaming) then this one will perform better.
@@TechCritter how can you be sure? Under benchmark (ideal) conditions you would think the Duo would lead. The razer is well cooled and overclocked out of the box. Under sustained load it performs very well.
The Duo has a direct passthrough of airflow since the ScreenPad Plus lifts up. Though, I've not tested the Razer Blade Pro 17 since there's no review units in Malaysia.
I watched your video too - seems to have sustained 100W throughout Cyberpunk 2077.
@@TechCritter The Razer Blade 17 has a very effective (but unusual) cooling solution. They split the battery in half and introduced 2 additional fans in between them that pull air across the components. A lot of thought has gone into it, and it's effective for sustained loads. If I use maxed fans I have cpu at 65* and gpu at 58*c. I'm trying to get some pressure on razer to up the tgp with a BIOS update.
I guess I was just a little surprised because I expected timespy of 11500+ for the zephyrus duo model that you tested 👍🏻
SE= Special Edition🤦♂️
SE means special edition. I guess
What is the gpu wattage
As mentioned in the video.
Can you play games on the secondary screen?
Yes you can lol
Can I produce content on a 1080p screen? Is the RTX 3080 dedicated or integrated?
Everything can be done in 1080p.
As for the RTX 3080... it's dedicated but soldered on to the motherboard.
@@TechCritter Money is not an object so do you recommend I buy an Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE 4K or 1080p for content creation (and occasional gaming)?
I'd recommend you to get the 1080p version no matter if you're a content creator or not.
@@TechCritter Thanks for the prompt response, but I guess it's pretty late as I have placed an order for the 4K model. I hope I won't regret it.
i stopped watching when he said playing a pc game at 26 fps is ok...
its ok if u r a desperate gamer...thats cyberpunk at 4k...even 3080 desktop at 4k chock to get to 60fps...avg is like 40..Yes its ok if u want to play the game like a 4k graphic hoer...or decrease graphics and get 100fps...lol
Please test on 1440p resolution and 1080p also...
Yep, will do
You were in Bulgaria :) I saw a few familiar places ^^
Ah that, I love the sceneries so I kept using that particular video to show off the screens of products.
Here's the video that I played:
th-cam.com/video/N1-Jmq7BLFE/w-d-xo.html
Does this laptop have an integer scaling option available? Say if I wanted to play at 1440p/1080p so that it optimizes at higher fps?
I'd suggest you buy the 1080p 300Hz version of this laptop instead, if you're looking to play at a lower resolution
@@TechCritter thinking about it, but just wanted to know if that was something you’ve tried or not with this laptop anyway just to have 4k setting being an option while still available to scale down games. Also, isn’t the 300hz only available at 3070 (8gbs)?
@@sdd2677yeah at the moment the rtx 3080 16gb variant is paired with the 4k120hz panel only.
How much this beast cost ?
I'm guessing... maybe same price as last year's model. RM20k perhaps?
@@TechCritter 🤩
its betther than th emsi gt76 9sg?
im not sure how the reviewer cranking the setting to the max when he testing gaming on 4k..but i use rtx 2080 laptop. and by turning off anti aliasing and tune a bit shadow lower, 4k gaming is definitely playable (tried on my 4k tv). I already pre order rtx 3080 laptop. and for sure i will be buying a new 4k monitor to gaming with it.
"by turning off anti aliasing and tune a bit shadow lower"
That's your answer. We didn't. We push the hardware as far as possible to see what comes out of it.
@@TechCritter yeah..thats why the games run very terrible at 4k. lol.. btw dont get me wrong, its still a good review from you.
Bro whats the point? Hdmi 2.0 means u can only connect to external monitor at 60mhz 4k. Its ironic when the default display can refresh higher than your external monitor
@@Kay102103 nahh...im not buying asus laptop. im buying some custom gaming laptop brand with ryzen 5900hx / rtx 3080 build in it. and good thing is it support hdmi 2.1. while my current rtx 2080 laptop have mini DP io support.
@@izjoel_9530 if there is any good recommendation let me know. I find it frustrating that i have been anticipating for this laptop for so long and it came with so many caveats. All i want is a 4k display 120mhz with hdmi 2.1 but so hard to find
The more i wait the better and the more next gen laptops come!!
gaming benchmark on 4k lol
What is the price of this laptop?
Gotta wait till early February. ASUS will have an announcement for it.
I also got that noodle shirt.
this is incredibe link please
How are you able to get them
Since when have drivers ever helped frame issues with Nvidia?
Like every single time? For example, the most recent cyberpunk driver pushes out more than 50 percent of performance improve with new driver update, download more fps!
I guess I will wait for midmonth releases
what will come from that ?
Grat video ! Thanks
bs laptop
AMD Ryzen™ 9 5000 Series
10th Gen Intel® Core™ i9
What are the differences between those two?
Honestly that laptop is worth like 1,500 I wouldn't pay anything more.
find me a single laptop with 3080 for 1500?
@@Supcharged plus the 2 screens and great overall specs. He is just blabbering lol
In reality this is true as a standard non-MaxQ 3080 is about equal to a desktop 3070 part in performance.
But for this your paying for portability and size of hardware. 🤷

Hi we're Malaysian
since this is nowhere at the video start - I guess I must make it discrete - what are the digits before the $ sign?
cyberpunk-25fps | gta-15fps OOOOOOFff!
In 4K!
In fairness, we are literally pushing the laptop to see how far it can go.
@@TechCritter No I mean it's funny how Cyberpunk is getting 10 more fps with ray tracing and GTA(launched in 2013) is running at unplayable frames. Definitely driver issues
@@p.george6076 GTA should still run at 60fps TBH
It's not surprising actually. GTA V is an old game that relies only on traditional raster graphics rendering whereby Cyberpunk 2077 has DLSS.
From our 8K gaming test, we know that DLSS is the key to enabling a smooth 8K gaming experience.
please pronounce H properly!
Does this laptop have a display port for VR gaming?
I don’t know about traditional VR gaming, but I’ve seen a review where they use oculus link on a Quest 2 on last year’s model. It does list an HDMI 2.0b port on the IO list so probably.
@@zakarymcleod1850 I think the new line of Rog Asus laptops used display port functionality via a USB-C port; while that's cool that may cause issues with an oculus rift S that usually is used with a mini-display port adapter to allow it to work on laptops; yes you are right VR can work on HDMI; albeit with lower refresh rates so the experience will be slightly inferior.
