Very nice of you to show side by side comparisons. Laptops are indeed improving every year, hopefully we can squeeze in desktop levels of performance someday.. Btw did someone notice that man with the leather jacket xD? That was a nice reference lol.
If you look closely in the video, the GPU mostly stays near 140W in situations which are suitable for dynamic boost. The CPU draws less power in such periods, that's how dynamic boost works, and if you see the 1080p footages for example, you'll see the CPU maintain 50W and still average under 80C which is pretty impressive. But it does run pretty cool, CPU mostly stays under 80C which is quite impressive. So it can definitely run more power if Asus allowed it to, and some people have flashed the higher wattage vbios on their S17s as well.
I Believe Asus has done best engineering in ROG's the best part i like the most is heat-dissipation of their new gen. Laptops over they give slight but noticeable enhancement on heavy useage wht's you're opinion on ROG's new design..
Asus is definitely doing great. They also balance both CPU and GPU nicely, when GPU is idle, the CPU on the S17 can handle upto 130W of power, allowing for overclocking. Not many thin and light laptops can do this out of the box, without needing any cooling mods.
That's an Asus, the wattage is low, its 3080 Mobile isn't even on par with 3070's in other laptops. MSI GE76, or Mech/Neo 15, or Prometheus XVII would absolutely shred this.
3070's max out at 140W, and the 3080 on the S17 does go upto 140W, so obviously it is going to be better than any 3070 out there. Although yes, it isn't the fastest 3080 out there, I don't think 25W more is going to help with any noticeable gains to ray tracing performance anyway, as we're heavily GPU bottlenecked in that scenario.
@@kamitube351 Higher GPU wattage is optimal WHEN GPU bottlenecked. If it was CPU bottlenecked that's when the extra wattage wouldn't make a difference. The RTSS overlay is also showing wattage being as low as 120-125 W a lot during the recorded gameplay, though it does seem to peak around the 140 range. I have a MSI GE76 with a 3080, not compared performance to see how much of a gap there is, but I'd definitely expect there to be one.
Yes there may be some difference, but we also must not forget that there are diminshing returns in play at higher power levels. So for example, 10% more power may not necessarily translate into 10% more performance. So the difference won't be that massive. Also all of these were under screen recording, so expect a bit more performance without it too. Though let me know what kind of results you get with yours, would be interesting still.
Wow, very well presented. The channel quality has gone up a notch too. Keep on making such informative videos :)

3080 is a beast of a card.. made for 1440p RTX gaming 🔥
More than the FPS I'm surprised by the temperatures the S17 maintains. The cooling design is really effective as it seems.
Did you buy this S17? Wattage isn't very high, 133w with 22w CPU is poor for such a 17"
