We ran the game on "High" settings and the laptop delivered 70 fps (above average - power consumption constant at 136 W). This may not be the case with actual games, such as: Battlefield Bad Company 2 (high stress on the CPU). In 3DMark Vantage, the GPU actually performs slightly above average. So whether it is the 3DMark 06, Heaven 2.1 or 3D Mark 11, the results are all at the expected level of a GTX 560M. See picture four.Īfraid of how this will affect the gaming performance? The GeForce GTX 560M of our test model performs at the same level as other test models with a GTX 560M (in the synthetic benchmarks). In contrast, the GPU temperature wavered constantly, even when the Furmark stress test was being run alone. The clock frequency in Cinebench Single and Multi-Core benchmarks stays in the Turbo regions of 2.8 and 3.0 GHz. A solo Prime95 CPU stress test showed that the power consumption remained constant at 88 watts. This indicates CPU throttling in most cases, but in this test model the graphic card is at fault. The X770-10J with the 2630QM processor behaved more or less the same way, although in that test, the room temperatures were different.ĭuring the stress test (Prime95 + Furmark), the multimeter showed wavering power consumption: from 101 to 162 W. The bottom of the laptop heats up to 40 degrees and the surface heats up to 41 degrees. While the laptop is in intense use, the situation does not change much. The surface temperature of the X770 (while the laptop is idle or in office use) remains in a comfortable region, as shown by the blue temperature diagram. The Hybrid HDD can be extremely useful after a program has been run a few times, as shown by program benchmarks we ran multiple times and in the test of Toshiba Satellite P770-10P (same Hybrid HDD). Even notebooks with an ordinary 7200 RPM hard disk, such as the Asus G74SX-91079V, can achieve 99 points (77% of the performance of our X770 test model which uses a Hybrid HDD). SSD DTRs are much fast er: HP Pavilion dv7-6b02eg: +186/127%.
The program performance benchmarks are less affected by the CPU performance: PCMark Vantage (8,682 points) and PCMark 7 (3,217 points). This reduces the start time and the time it takes to load frequently used programs.
This hard disk can save frequently used files and programs on the flash memory so as to launch them faster. The performance is further improved by the hybrid hard disk from Seagate with 4 GB NAND flash memory (ST95005620AS). The high CPU performance is beneficial to the program performance. However, in comparison to our X770 test model, even a 2920XM of the Dell Precision M6600 work station can only perform at 118%. The extremely expensive Sandy Bridge XM processors offer the highest performance in the laptop world. In addition, we will also cover battery life and emissions. For details about the input devices and the case of the laptop, we refer the reader to the Qosmio X770-10J review. This update covers the display and the processor performance (new Core i7-2670QM - 4x2.20GHz). So does the buyer get a first-class display for his money? 1,400 Euros is a high price to pay for this model.
We are interested in the Full HD configuration (1920x1080, TruBrite FHD) of the 17.3 inch 3D-ready Qosmio X770-11C.
The HD+ X770-11D and X770-123 have taken its place and these new models are equipped with a faster CPU: the Core i7 2670QM. A low contrast of 205:1 and poor viewing angles - this is not what a 1,300 Euros high-end gaming laptop should offer. The picture quality of the otherwise perfect gaming notebook was disappointing (TruBrite HD+). At that time we picked the small, "affordable" X770-10J with Core i7 2630QM, GeForce GTX 560M and a HD+ screen (1600x900 pixel resolution) as our test model. In September 2011 we took a look at the Toshiba gaming flagship the X770.
