Our 28-inch Monoprice display allowed us to run various gaming benchmarks at 3,840x2,160 resolution, and the results were especially impressive when you consider a laptop with a mobile GPU is driving them. More interesting are the scores when plugging the system into an external 4K monitor. BioShock Infinite showed us a similar spread in performance. A similar system with last year's 880M card ran at only 27.4fps. In the challenging Metro: Last Light test, at high settings and 1,920x1,080 resolution, the Asus ran at 46.7 frames per second while the Origin PC with the 980M card ran at 43.8fps. That said, our Origin PC 17-inch laptops, one with the new 980M GPU and one with the previous high-end 880M, both with MX-class Core i7 processors, were the fastest among recent gaming laptops in application tests, so there are some bragging rights to be had with the hefty additional investment.īut in game performance, the Asus G751 turned in ever-so-slightly higher frame rates, helped perhaps by having additional system RAM (24GB vs. In real-world terms, the difference in performance was minor, but the $1,000 price difference between those two systems was not. The Asus G751 we tested has a Core i7-4710HQ CPU and 980M GPU with only 4GB of RAM. That system offers a higher-end Intel Core i7-4940MX, an expensive part that didn't add much to its performance in our application and gaming tests, as well as a version of the same Nvidia GeForce 980M graphics card with 8GB of onboard RAM. An Origin PC Eon 17-S laptop we're currently testing beats it out by a little bit. Sarah Tew/CNETThe collection of internal components here is close to top-end.
