- Game testing
1. Borderlands
In Borderlands 3, the average frame rate is 50.52FPS at the highest villain quality at 1080P.
2. Assassin's Creed: Odyssey
In Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, we chose the highest quality of the game's graphics, with a game-screen resolution of 1080P and an average of 30 frames after running the benchmark.
3. Horizon: The Dawn of Zero
In Horizon: Dawn of Zero, we changed the game's preset screen to "Final Quality", with a game screen resolution of 1080P and an average FPS of 35 frames after running the benchmark.
Horizon: Dawn of Zero supports NVIDIA DLSS, we are also in "Ultimate Quality" quality, and the quality of DLSS is changed to "Balanced", giving an average FPS 41 frame performance after running the benchmark.
4. Tomb Raider: Shadow
In Tomb Raider: Shadow, the performance test was run at the highest quality of 1080P, and the result was an average frame rate of 53 frames.
Although the RTX 3050 Laptop is an entry-level graphics card, it also supports the light tracking feature, and on the basis of "the highest image quality", the light tracking performance is selected "super high", and the benchmark gives an average performance of 25 frames.
On the basis of the "ultra-high" light tracking performance, we also turned on the NVIDIA RTX DLSS, the setting was changed to "Balanced", and the average performance of 36 frames was given after running the benchmark at 1080P.
In the test, although the RTX 3050 Laptop equipped with ascent Pro14 is an entry-level graphics card, the author has pulled all kinds of game screens to the top, I thought that the RTX 3050 Laptop would be very difficult, but still reached a smooth level, such a performance is really unexpected.
In the test, the author set each screen to the top match, in fact, deviated from the needs of the general user, but it can also be seen that the RTX 3050 Laptop can fully cope with most of the daily AAA game needs, and online games are not to mention.
If you want to increase the frame rate, you only need to reduce the picture quality appropriately to get a smoother game experience.
Grill and battery life: The performance of the whole machine can be released up to 60W
- Single-baked CPU
We used the AIDA64 for the FPU roaster, and after 15 minutes, the Ryzen™ 7 5800H temperature was relatively stable, and it has been around 90 ° C, at this time the full core frequency is 3.5GHz, and the power is stable at about 65W.
- Single baked graphics card
We use a FurMark single-baked GPU, running at 1080P, and after 10 minutes, the graphics card has an average frequency of 1100MHz, a maximum frequency of 1252Mhz, a temperature of up to 64°C, and a power consumption of up to 50W.
------------------
Continuing the double-baked test, the CPU's power consumption continued to stabilize at 25W after 10 minutes, and the full core frequency was at 2.4GHz, at which time the temperature was 67 °C.
The graphics card has an average frequency of 682MHz, a maximum frequency of 1117Mhz, and a temperature of 60°C, which consumes about 35W.
- Battery life
The ASUS Lingyao Pro14 has a built-in 63Wh high-capacity lithium battery, and we used the PCMark 10 to test the battery life.
The test selected scenario is the modern office of PCMark 10, the performance mode is changed to "longer battery life", all unrelated processes are turned off during the test, the screen brightness is adjusted to 50%, and the screen refresh rate is changed to 60Hz.
In the PCMark 10 modern office scenario, the battery life test score is 8 hours and 46 minutes, which is quite excellent performance, which can easily meet the mobile office needs of the whole day.
At the same time, we also tested the battery life using the RTX 3050 Laptop alone, and the results were also 5 hours and 23 minutes.
If the user temporarily needs graphic rendering, playing games and other needs when he is out, such a battery life can also ensure the completion of work or the game.
