In general, the game is nothing more than two sizes, one is the regular 15.6 inches, the other is 17.3 inches. Although the former is portable, but because of the size limitations, it is always a little bit less immersive to play games. Although the 17.3-inch screen has a stronger visual impact, such a game is a "strong man" of five big and three thick, almost losing the portable attributes of the laptop, so why don't I choose a desktop?
Therefore, when HP first released the 16.1-inch light and shadow wizard, it immediately became the first choice for many gamers. This size of the game book is a good balance between portability and experience, coupled with excellent performance release, once called the benchmark of the game industry. And the time came to 2022, HP also officially released a new generation of VICTUS Light and Shadow Genie 8, this time also the main unbounded big screen it will bring us what kind of surprises?
In the overall design, the light and shadow genie 8 has not changed much, with three different colors, the shape is not as ostentatious as some game books, but relatively low-key and simple, the weight of the whole machine in the game book is a lighter level, even if it is used as a business book, there is no sense of violation.
The screen also maintains the high level of this series, and the HP VICTUS Sprite 8 I got started with is a version of the 12th-generation i7 plus RTX 3060, which is equipped with a 144Hz 16.1-inch screen. Under the 100% sRGB color gamut coverage, it can bring very accurate and brilliant color performance, and this machine uses full DC dimming, which has no strobe problem at all, and is relatively more eye-pleasing.
One of the main upgrade points of the Light genie 8 compared to the previous generation is the processor, the 12th generation of Core has a comprehensive improvement relative to the 11th generation, and the architecture has been greatly changed while upgrading the process. The i7-12700H can be close to 1,800%-1,000 in the R23 actual test, while the desktop-level i9-11900K can only run around 1650. The introduction of large and small cores has made the multi-core performance soar, the same R23 test, i7-12700H can reach more than 17900, i9-11900K can only run to about 15500.
You know, this is a comparison between mobile and desktop processors, after all, the notebook platform itself has a greater thermal and power bottleneck. On the one hand, this shows that the Light and Shadow Genie 8 has a better tuning for this CPU, and the heat dissipation is stronger, on the other hand, it also shows the great progress of this generation of Core. In addition, on the notebook platform, the CPU's significant improvement in peak performance and energy efficiency will leave more heat dissipation and power consumption space for the graphics card, so even if it is the same graphics card, the performance of the light and shadow genie 8 is much better than the performance of the previous generation game book.
In terms of graphics cards, the Light genie 8 is equipped with the RTX 30 series graphics card that everyone is very familiar with. Although it also has a version of the RTX 3050Ti, if you have the need to play AAA games, then I recommend that you have the ability to start the RTX 3060 version as much as possible. Because the performance difference between the two graphics cards is large, RTX 3050Ti is more suitable for online games such as chicken, DOTA, and occasionally trying large games, after all, online games pay more attention to CPU performance, and RTX 3060 means that you can play a variety of large games in the case of high special effects, which is more suitable for the picture quality party to choose.
In addition, using the random HP Game Control Center OGH (OMEN Gaming Hub), players can also adjust the operation mode of the Sprite 8, switching between quiet mode, equalization mode and rage mode to match different performance output modes.
