Gigabyte AORUS X7 DT v6 GTX 1080 Gaming Laptop Review
Storage and USB Performance
CrystalDiskMark – Sequential Read
The Samsung SM951 NVME boot drive is an engineering marvel and widely used in a number of premium laptops. It’s easy to see why with read a result of 2259MB/s which makes other storage solutions look quite ordinary in comparison. The laptop’s 2.5-inch secondary disk device reported an excellent read rate while the USB 3.0 was also quite strong.
CrystalDiskMark – Sequential Write
This time, the laptop’s boot drive came out on top and almost broke the 1600MB/s mark. I’m sure you can agree, this is a ridiculously high write rate and will prove quite challenging to beat. The mechanical disk achieved decent write speeds and the USB 3.0 performance deserves praise.
there appears to be horizontal line or striping across the screen
did u see any?
Yes there is a pronounced horizontal striping across the entire display, every other row of pixels.
Any word on the screen stripping issue? Please don’t take too long with the Razer Blade Pro review! Thanks guys
I just received my Aorus X7-DT-v6 and can confirm that there is extremely noticable and distracting striping, where it appears that every other row of pixels is dimmed about 30%. As the color approaches white, the effect dis mediated. In otherwords, on a 100% white screen, you can’t see striping… but how much of your screen is normally white? torn because the rest of the machine, and its performance, is top notch.. but I am used to retina displays, and this is already hurting my eyes.
“I can’t pinpoint an exact reason why and it’s important to remember that
NVIDIA’s G-Sync technology doesn’t impact on battery capacity.”
Say what??? I would say that G-Sync has as definite impact on battery life (which I assume what is meant and not capacity).
Just bought one for £830.
