Mechanic F117 series of games is the main product of the mechanic, most of the previous F117 series of products have their own Chinese names, such as F117 battle air, F117 hunting air, etc., but this F117 poison does give people a different feeling from the name. The first thing that came to my mind when I first heard the name was the Marvel hero "Venom", which is both handsome and martial arts, and has the same magic as F117 poison. In fact, from the perspective of the product itself, the mechanic obviously wants to "attack the poison with poison" - through excellent products to "detoxify" gamers, so it is easy to understand that this generation of F117 series products is named "poison". So how "toxic" is this machine?
According to the official introduction, the ID design of the Mechanic F117 Poison Gamebook was inspired by the Lamborghini Veneno sports car design. The A-side of this machine is made of aviation aluminum alloy, and the surface is brushed with metal, which is very smooth to the touch. The left and right sides of the A-side also add metal stamping bending lines to form a micro-three-dimensional design, supplemented by blue light strips and a mechanical heart logo, making the whole machine look tough and stylish, which also echoes the streamlined body design of the Lamborghini Veneno sports car. The air outlet grille on the back of this machine is corrugated, which also has the wind of the rear wing of the sports car, so that the F117 poison is like a supercar ready to start in the state of operation, showing the supercar aura at any time.

In terms of uniqueness, there are multiple versions of the commercially available mechanic F117 poison, such as the version of RTX 3060 and the version of RTX 3050, but the version of RTX 3050 Ti that we tested is still relatively rare on the market. As an entry-level GPU product, the biggest change of the RTX 3050 series Laptop GPU compared to last year's GTX 1650 series product is that it has a complete second-generation RT core and a third-generation tensor core, supporting real-time ray tracing and DLSS. Specifically, the RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU we tested has 2560 CUDA cores, uses 4GB GDDR6 video memory, the default frequency is 1222MHz, the Boost frequency is 1485MHz, and the maximum power consumption is 85W.
Judging from the test results of 3DMark, the mechanic F117 poison has good graphics performance, it gets a total score of 12937 and a graphics score of 14258 in the Fire Strike scene based on 1080p resolution, in terms of graphics card score, the GTX 1650 Ti mobile version of the score is generally about 10000 points, compared to the RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU equipped with this machine is about 42% ahead of it. However, if compared with the RTX 3060 Laptop GPU with a maximum power consumption of 95W (graphics score of 19342 points), there is a gap of about 35%, after all, the latter has higher specifications such as memory, frequency and CUDA cores. In the DX12-based 3DMark Time Spy test scenario, the mechanic F117 Poison scored a graphics card score of 5451 points, which is still about 48% ahead of the GTX 1650 Ti Mobile (graphics card score of 3680 points), which is a good performance.
So how does the Mechanic F117 Poison perform in real games? Let's first take a look at how it performs in game presets (default, no active RT light chase and DLSS), which can play most game masterpieces at 1080p resolution, such as 69fps in the highest quality of Tomb Raider: Shadow, and 280.26fps in CS:GO High Quality (8X MSAA). Because the RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU supports real-time ray tracing and DLSS, so in some games with extremely high hardware requirements, we can also bring a great increase in frame rate after turning on DLSS, such as in the 1080p resolution of Cyberpunk 2077, high quality preset conditions (RT off, DLSS off), the average frame rate of this machine is only 37.86fps, the game screen is slightly stuttering, can not play, and we open under the same quality conditions." DLSS Balanced", turn off RT, the average frame rate of the game can be increased to 57.31fps, and we are now able to play smoothly.
In general, the mechanic F117 poison is equipped with RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU, has good graphics performance, can calmly cope with most games at 1080p high quality, and can also better cope with some popular masterpieces after opening DLSS, such as Cyberpunk 2077, Control, German Headquarters: New Bloodline, Subway: Departure, etc.
