of gaming benchmarks, scoring 3,954 in the Fire Strike test, 13,439 in Sky Diver, and 1,270 in Time Spy.
Intel's i9 - 7900X is one of Intel's most technically impressive CPUs, but it's
gaming benchmark performance may not justify its $ 999 price.
Excellent performance in a
synthetic gaming benchmark is nice, but we wanted to see how the EON17 - S handles titles under real - world conditions.
The most advanced OpenGL 3.1
gaming benchmarks fail, but most games and multimedia software chug along, and the 4 GB of RAM helps enable multitasking.
Anything more taxing than basic apps take a long time to load, and the Asus VivoTab Smart refused to run our staple Trackmania
Nations gaming benchmark, which is hardly taxing.
Amazon showed off smooth performance in the Epic
Citadel gaming benchmark, cheerfully zipping along at 50 or more frames per second.
Interestingly, the Win 2 outperformed the Eve V tablet with a more powerful Core i7 - 7Y75 processor in
most gaming benchmarks, including several other 3DMark tests and the Street Fighter IV test.
The ZenPad earned a decent score of 14,124 on the 3DMark Ice Storm
Unlimited gaming benchmark, which is better than the G Pad F 8.0 (3,735) and on a par with the MediaPad M3 (15,375) and the average for tablets (15,504).
On our
budget gaming benchmark, the Prestige played Rise of the Tomb Raider on high settings with SMAA anti-aliasing at 44 fps.
Several competitors offer the more powerful GTX 960M, so the Samsung is at a disadvantage — which becomes obvious in
1080p gaming benchmarks.
Since it broke the story about
Samsung gaming benchmarks on the Galaxy S4, AnandTech tested a host of devices and found that other manufacturers are, more or less, doing the same thing.
The fact that OnePlus has been
caught gaming benchmarks for a second time is disappointing, particularly when there's absolutely no need to do so.
Taking a look at some of our
usual gaming benchmarks, we find that the ZenBook 13 falls short of running our test suite at Full HD and moderate to high graphics detail.
Intel's i9 - 7900X is one of Intel's most technically impressive CPUs, but it's
gaming benchmark performance may not justify its $ 999 price.
Our
synthetic gaming benchmark, 3DMark, posted great scores; 28,316 in the Cloud Gate test and 9,759 in the demanding Fire Strike test.
In gaming benchmarks, the GTX 760 beats out the previous GTX 660 across the board, in some cases quite substantially.
There are the Adobe apps Reader and Flash that you'd download anyway, and the now - ubiquitous Microsoft Office 2007 trial, and also 3DMark06 Basic Edition, the freeware version of
the gaming benchmark program we use at PC Magazine Labs, so you can check that the 3D graphics card and system are working properly).
The Z5 bested both in
all gaming benchmarks at all resolutions, by as many as 16 frames per second in some tests.
Relying on Intel HD Graphics (the Atom processor's integrated graphics solution) the Surface 3 ran all of our graphics and
gaming benchmark tests — an accomplishment for an Atom - based system — even outperforming several competitors in some tests, but the tablet is built to support uses like streaming video, not running games.
After it barely managed to finish the first of
our gaming benchmarks, reducing Far Cry 2 to a 10.9 frame - per - second slideshow (even with the resolution dialed down to 1680 × 1050!)
The Asus ROG G701VI scored high marks on
our gaming benchmarks, thanks to its beefy Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 GPU with 8 GB of VRAM.
It's no surprise that the ZenBook Flip S didn't blow us away in
our gaming benchmarks.
For the full scoop, including processor and
gaming benchmarks, check out our comparison.
It should come as no surprise, but
gaming benchmarks is a common practice in the Android ecosystem.
The i9 - 7900X definitely impresses from a performance standpoint with top scores in all of
the gaming benchmarks, but Intel's other high - end Kaby Lake and Skylake processors offer highly comparable frame rates for lower prices, and AMD's Ryzen CPUs are not too far behind.
But it's
the gaming benchmark scores that you want to know about, and that's where the unit's Nvidia GeForce MX150 graphics card showed its worth: The ZenBook Flip 14's score of 1,280 in the demanding 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme test was nearly triple that of systems with the same CPU's integrated graphics.
The system has an Nvidia GeForce MX150 card that proved about twice as fast on
our gaming benchmarks.
Teamed up with the Level 4's other ample components, it handled
our gaming benchmarks at 1080p nicely.
The VivoBook S56C's integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 didn't have the firepower to break the 30 frames per second (fps) playability barrier on
our gaming benchmark tests.
This paid off in
our gaming benchmarks, where the notebook competed well with other machines equipped with the MX150, like the Aspire 5 and the Asus ZenBook 13.
