With the update and iteration of hardware, AMD launched the new Ryzen 7000HX series processor, Ryzen 7000HX series mobile processor using advanced "Zen 4" architecture, combined with the industry-leading 5nm manufacturing process, the energy efficiency ratio has been greatly enhanced, up to 16 cores 32 threads, and in order to fully release performance, the use of all-large core design. And the author is honored to get the ROG Moba 7 Plus Super Edition equipped with AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX processor, the exclusive display is also the flagship GeForce RTX 4090, the dual flagship top equipped Moba 7 Plus Super Energy Edition performance How to sell it first, let's first see how the performance in the game is?
Game experience: 3A masterpiece is unrestrained, full of firepower
Recently, the most popular game on Steam is Resident Evil 4: Remastered from our gold chef Capcom. It has to be said that as a game 18 years ago, after the renovation of the Capcom "RE" engine, the game works show a kind of refinement beyond the traditional "Japanese factory". Whether it is Leon following the clues of the missing police into the murderous European village, or Ashley carrying the dark lantern deep into the dark castle, players will benefit from the unique advantages of the RE engine, and its extremely efficient optimization characteristics allow most mainstream configuration players on the market to enjoy a smoother and high-quality gaming experience.
This kind of graphical quality upgrade based on engine features is certainly not unique to Resident Evil 4: Remastered. But compared with the other two works in the "Resident Evil RE" series, it has higher requirements for atmosphere shaping. With the upgrade of graphics quality, the demand for hardware configuration is also higher.
However, it is worth mentioning that the game also has built-in graphics proprietary technologies that support two major AMDs: FSR and AMD FidelityFX CACAO (Contrast Adaptive Sharpening Ambient Occlusion) technology, which provide players with a better experience from the two pain points of frame rate optimization and picture quality optimization.
"Resident Evil 4: Remake" with 2K resolution effect fully turned on, and ray tracing set to high, the game frame rate can be stabilized at about 130 frames, the whole game experience is quite silky.
A powerful game book like ROG Monster 7 Plus Super Edition, as a hardware killer game "Cyberpunk 2077" that has been talked about by old production, is naturally one of the experience projects.
At the beginning of the birth of light chasing, the frame rate test of "Cyberpunk 2077" has always been used as a standard for whether the hardware configuration is qualified. Of course, the configuration of the ROG Mobo 7 Plus Super Edition is naturally not a problem, but the point is that what kind of results can run is the key.
In the game, we set the game's ray tracing to super and the graphics effect to high, and after turning on DLSS 3 super performance, the frame rate of Cyberpunk 2077 can reach 198 frames.
Recently, the game has undergone an update, and the new version of ray tracing has a completely new setting, and we can set the game's ray tracing performance to overload, which is ray tracing: overdrive mode. With this setup, the game's ray tracing performance becomes stronger, and the impact on the frame rate becomes greater. We turned on DLSS 3 Super Performance Mode at 2K resolution, and measured using built-in benchmarks in Ray Tracing Overload Mode, the average frame rate of the game was around 89 frames, and we could still experience Cyberpunk 2077 smoothly.
As the best game of the year, God of War 4, the game quality is of course also of a high standard. When it was put on the PC platform, the picture quality compared to the PS5 platform was improved. However, when the game was first released in January last year, the RTX 30 series at that time was still struggling to achieve a satisfactory result. But how does it perform under the ROG Demon 7 Plus Super Edition?
We turned on the game to 2K resolution, and at the highest quality, after turning on the super performance mode of DLSS, the game easily ran up to a very high frame rate of 157 frames. This frame rate can be said to be unimaginable for PS5 players, and the former "God of War 4" can also experience the smooth visual effects brought by high brush resolution under the ROG Monster 7 Plus Super Edition.
ROG Magic 7 Plus Super Edition is also equipped with a 240Hz high-brush display, which for competitive games, the high-brush screen can make the picture seen by players smoother, so that the player's operation is smoother. Just like if you are a player who has played the game "CS:GO" for a long time, this high-brush screen can simply be called an "artifact".
When I was playing CS:GO, the average frame rate of the game was around 510 frames, and when an enemy threw smoke grenades or flash bombs, the frame rate dropped to about 400 frames. Although the span of the frame rate is a bit large, due to the high frame rate, even if the frame is dropped occasionally, the picture will still feel quite smooth. And the effect brought by the 240Hz high brush gives the author the greatest feeling, the 60Hz monitor is simply a slideshow!
In fact, when it comes to high brush screens, the first thing that comes to mind is the game "PUBG". As early as the beginning of the game, in order to play this game, the author changed the GTX 960 graphics card to GTX 980. At the same time, he also replaced his own monitor with a 144Hz high-brush monitor. It has to be said that its birth has indeed brought a lot of leaps and bounds in e-sports products. At that time, it was a dream to want this game to be 100 frames at a frame rate at all the super high picture quality!
And we adjusted all the settings to super high under the ROG Mobo 7 Plus Super Edition, and adjusted the rendering ratio to 100, and the resolution was adjusted to 2K, and our frame rate was stable at about 230~250 frames after entering the game. One thing is to say, this is the first time that the author has experienced the game "PUBG" at such a high frame rate, and I can't help but open a few more games. The 240Hz high brush screen gives the author a new experience with this game. Both sniping and steering are very smooth, without the slightest stuttering.
Of course, in addition to "PUBG", the veteran shooter "Call of Duty" is also one of my favorite shooting games, and there is also a chicken-eating mode in "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2022", but unlike "PUBG", its graphics are more realistic and more refreshing.
When we adjusted the game's graphics to the highest and enabled DLSS Super Performance Mode, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2022 can reach a frame rate of more than 120 frames at 2K resolution, although it can't be compared to the frame rates of CS:GO and PUBG. But this frame rate is already quite comfortable, after all, the real picture quality is there.
Configuration & Performance Parameters: The "legendary" configuration of today's mobile platforms
Under such a powerful game performance, I have to mention the detailed configuration of this ROG Monster 7 Plus Super Edition. The CPU is equipped with the Ryzen 9 7945HX and RTX 4090 mobile graphics card dual flagships, which can be said to be the "ceiling" of the current mobile platform, and the memory is 16GB DDR5. The screen uses a 17.3-inch 2K resolution 240Hz high-brush display, in addition, Wi-Fi 6E and so on should have a lot of it, and its first price is 21999 yuan, it can be said that the cost performance is quite good. So, how exactly does the Ryzen 9 7945HX processor perform? Since we call it the "ceiling" of the mobile platform, it is natural to speak with facts in terms of performance.
From the perspective of processor specifications, this Ryzen 9 7945HX uses AMD's latest Zen 4 architecture and adopts TSMC's 5nm manufacturing process, which has a fairly good energy efficiency ratio. In addition, the 16-core 32-thread design of the all-large core is already at the same level as the desktop-class processor. In terms of frequency, the reference frequency is 2.5GHz, the maximum acceleration frequency can reach 5.4GHz, the default TDP is 55W, and the configurable power consumption range is 55-75W. Its L2 cache is 16MB, L3 cache is 64MB, and the L2 and L3 cache is a total of 80MB, which is also the strongest mobile CPU that the author has come into contact with so far. In addition, it also has built-in AMD Radeon 610M graphics card, a total of 2 groups of GPU computing cores, frequency 2200MHz.
In addition to looking strong in specs, we tested it in CPU-Z. However, before the CPU score, in order to release the performance of the CPU, we adjusted the AMD PBO automatic overclocking technology supported for the first time in the ROG Mobo 7 Plus Super Edition to manual adjustment mode, and adjusted the performance to the enhanced mode in the ROG Altron Intelligent Control Center to adjust the performance of the CPU to the best state for running the score.
Compared with the desktop processor of the same specification, the same 16-core 32-thread CPU has a 9% increase in single-core performance and an 11% increase in multi-core performance, which is enough to prove that the current mobile CPU is almost on par with the desktop.
In addition to the CPU-Z itself, the Ryzen 9 7945HX also scored quite well in R15, R20, and R23. Under the running score of R15, the CPU single-core score reached 312cb, while the CPU multi-core score reached 5472cb. Due to the all-core, the Ryzen 9 7945HX's multi-core performance is really impressive.
Under the R20 running score, the CPU single-core score is 776 cb, and the multi-core CPU score is 13048 cb.
Under the running score of R23, the CPU single-core score is 2006pts, and the CPU multi-core score is 32751 pts. At the same time, we have compared the actual running score data with the i9-13900HX currently on hand, in terms of single-core results, AMD leads by 136pts, and AMD is ahead of 5941pts in multi-core performance, exceeding i9-13900HX multi-core by more than 22%, which is also greatly exceeded compared with the performance of i9-13980HX multi-core about 30000 points.
In the running score item of 3DMark's CPU Profile, 1098 points for 1 thread and 13622 points for the largest thread.
The stronger the performance, the more important the heat dissipation is for gaming. We carried out a CPU roast for the ROG Moba 7 Plus Super Edition, and at a room temperature of 26-27°C, the average temperature of the final CPU was about 88°C, which was quite stable. In terms of power consumption, the CPU is about 127.87W when baked alone.
In addition, the double baking performance of the CPU and GPU is also quite good, in the double baking process, the CPU power is maintained at about 80W, while the GPU power is about 159W, the sum of the two is roughly about 240W, and the heat dissipation performance, the temperature of the CPU is maintained at about 96 degrees, and the GPU is around 85 degrees.
In addition to the CPU being the "ceiling" of the mobile terminal, the graphics card of the ROG Magic 7 Plus Super Edition comes from NVIDIA's flagship GeForce RTX 4090. This is the first time that NVIDIA has added a 90-level graphics card to the mobile terminal. In terms of parameters, the RTX 4090 mobile graphics card has 9728 CUDA cores, as shown in the figure below, the core frequency is 1790MHz, the Boost frequency is 2240MHz, the memory is 16GB GDDR6, the memory bit is 256bit, and the memory frequency is 2325MHz.
The 3DMark stress test detects whether the performance of the graphics card will deteriorate in the case of continuous running scores, and the previous score line has been above 97% to be counted as a passing score. The RTX 4090 laptop GPU also achieved a good score of 98% under this test, which can be regarded as passing the test very stably.
Next up was the 3DMark TimeSpy DX12 test, which achieved a total score of 18,896, including a graphics card score of 21,470.
This was followed by the 3DMark Fire Strike DX11 test, which scored 42,761 overall and a graphics card score of 52,593. This score allows the RTX 4090 laptop GPU to basically play all the triple-A games currently on the market.
Finally, there is the Speed Way test, which uses ray tracing and real-time global illumination to render realistic lighting and reflections, and optimizes performance and visual quality with the new DX12 Ultimate features. The RTX 4090 laptop GPU also ran to 5901 points, which can perfectly show the true portrayal of light and shade in many current games.
Appearance: Flagship appearance level like configuration
ROG Moba 7 Plus Super Edition appearance design still continues the unique style of Moba series, the whole game is a large 17.3-inch body, the A side is an all-metal design, with composite forging, the diagonal texture design is simple and stylish, with the glowing ROG "Loser's Eye" belief logo, the look is extremely cool.
The B-side of the Moha 7 Plus Super Edition is equipped with a 17.3-inch gaming screen, while supporting 2.5K resolution, 240Hz refresh rate and 3ms low-latency response time, giving players a head start in e-sports games. The screen quality is also high, with 100% DCI-P3 Professional Wide Color Gamut, Dolby Vision and G-SYNC tear arrest technology, and the visual sensory picture is soft and clear. In addition, the new camera at the top of the screen can also meet the diversified needs of video, live broadcast, conference, etc.
After the C side is lit, you can see that the keyboard supports independent backlight, and you can also customize the RGB lighting effect, and it can be linked with other peripherals of the ROG family. The lower trackpad surface is glass-coated and feels great. The U-shaped floating light at the bottom has multiple RGB dazzling light effects, which instantly enters the e-sports atmosphere, and also supports the synchronization of divine light personalized customization, which perfectly reflects the word brilliant lighting.
The interior of the fuselage uses the Glacier Cooling Architecture 2.0 Enhanced Edition, with dual 84-blade dust-free fans, customized large-area vapor chambers, and ice wing fins as thin as 0.1mm, bringing players stronger wind power and heat exchange efficiency. The Moba 7 Plus Super Edition also has SmartAmp dual smart speakers, supporting Dolby Atmos and 5.1.2 channels, as well as two-way AI noise reduction, which has passed Hi-Res Audio certification. The upper right corner once again depicts the logo of the "Eye of the Loser".
In terms of the interface configuration on both sides, the right side of the ROG Momaster 7 Plus Super Edition is not equipped with an interface, which reduces the impact when using the mouse. On the left are two USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A ports and a 3.5mm headphone jack. There is a power interface, 2.5GRJ45 network port, HDMI 2.1 interface supporting 8K 60Hz/4K 120Hz video output and two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C ports (one of which supports 100W PD charging).
Summary: True flagship configuration, smooth experience brought by top CPU
It's no exaggeration to say that the ROG Demon 7 Plus Super Edition is the most performant game book I've touched so far, and it brings me not only a smooth gaming experience, but also the excitement that the mobile CPU can stand almost at the same height as the desktop CPU. Compared with the price of the flagship notebook of 3~40,000 yuan, the price of this ROG Moba 7 Plus Super Energy Edition with Ryzen 9 7945HX+RTX 4090 dual flagship configuration is really unexpected, and the absolute performance and energy consumption ratio can be called the ceiling of the contemporary mobile platform, which is undoubtedly the flagship professional e-sports book with the highest cost performance at present.
