    Looks like there is a new model for $100 less that still has RX 6800M graphics, but now with higher tier Ryzen 9 5980HX CPU and a 1440p screen: bestbuy.7tiv.net/x9QPyy

    The most compelling reason here is that you get 3080 performance at a fraction of the cost. It's a no brainer. And the memory is upgradable unlike the zephyrus models. All the 3080 laptops cost 3K but you can buy these for 1.5k - amazing. AMD fo life

    Hi Jarrod! Loving the content and keep up the great work. What USB-C to DP cable and monitor did you use to bypass the iGPU and do you get a Display connection limited message?

Can you make a video comparing Asus A51 vs Strix G15 vs Zephyrus G15 2021 mode with RTX 3060? It would be really helpful for the people who ate confused among these three thinking of which one to buy like me!

    Great review as usual. When doing these reviews you should include if doing surround sound passthrough is possible when using the HDMI cable. I got this laptop and found out it was not possible and it was so infuriating. There is absolutely no way to find this out before buying the thing. I suspect is because the HDMI port does not connect directly to the GPU. Which is so stupid

    Hi and thnx for an exelent review. I'm considering buying this machine or buying the more expensive MSI GP76 Leopard with a 3080 8gb gpu.
    In this test it seems like they at least can compete performance vise but.. What about when you take Nvidia DLSS in account? Then the 3080 should leave the 3600m in the dust, right?
    And are you able to drive a high refreshrate (240 hz, 1440p) external monitor via the usb C connector that u suggests in this video? It has enough bandwidth for that? And how does that work? You convert it into a displayport cable?

  • @Mkilbride2599
    @Mkilbride2599 3 года назад +6

    One thing I think you should've pointed is out is despite the high temps, Thermals do not throttle. It's wild. Even when my CPU was 95c, it was still running at 4.5GHZ. Even when my GPU was 80c, it was still around 2568MHZ in games. NVIDIA GPus don't do that. They lower heavily as temps raise. For example, you could lose 10% performance going from 65c to 80c in a NVIDIA graphics card.
    my 3080(Desktop), runs at 2040MHZ up until around 66c, then goes down to around 1980Mhz. As it rises beyond 72c, it'll hit 1925hz, and beyond 80c, it'll start going to around 1890.

    Awesome review! Actually pushed me to buy one, however I just wanted to mention an issue I found with mine. The Asus "Armoury Crate" software was forcing the 6800M into extreme power saving mode and so it was running horribly. I had to uninstall armoury crate to fix it but I was wondering if you had any similar issues arise?

    • @JarrodsTech
      @JarrodsTech  2 года назад +5

      I haven't had that issue with Armoury Crate. Were you running on battery? I know it does try to force a lower performance profile when you first unplug.

    Hi Jarrod and thx for the reviews, very thorough and professional.
    I was wondering if you ever tried to review cooling pads?
    I am looking at buying a Klim cool+ cooling vacuum, it's a bit different than normal cooling systems as it's based on suction rather than air blowing. Is it actually worth to have and is it worth setting it up along with a regular cooling pad? Looking forward to your answer and why not a video review on it!
    I am looking at using it with the same laptop as you reviewd in this video.

    I know it would be difficult since this channel is mostly dedicated to gaming laptops, but I think it would be interesting to see you doing thermal analysis of this type of machines (Workstation), in my opinion you are the best reviewer when it comes to temperature and performance analysis.

      Frankly I'm not sure why anyone games on their laptop screen anyway. At least enough for it to matter. When I'm at home I'm on two external monitors and I turn off the laptop monitor. If I'm taking the laptop with me somewhere, it's usually to hang out with someone else who either doesn't game, or who also has an external monitor if we do. Only time I'd ever play games by myself on this laptop screen is maybe if I'm in a hotel somewhere on business and want to unwind, and in that limited context I'm certainly not going to care about the response time of my laptop screen.

My old MSI with core i7 8th gen and GTX1060 has no issues with Fusion 360. And I'm noticing that it can randomly restart itself e.g. when woken up from sleep, all my apps and windows disappeared.
