Videos for February 21st - 27th
🕑 Added 2022-02-21 06:47:44 +0000 UTCThe plans for videos this week are a bit up in the air for now.
The ASUS Zephyrus G14 arrived this morning with Ryzen 9 6900HX processor and Radeon RX 6800S graphics. I was originally planning on dedicating all my time to this in order to get the game benchmark video out ASAP/Monday.
Unfortunately ASUS and AMD have advised of an issue with current drivers that may hold back gaming performance with the MUX switch, so I'm going to hold off a bit to find out what the deal is there. Unfortunately the info comes from the US and they're behind my time zone so I've just got to sit tight and wait.
I was also planning on posting a sponsored video this Wednesday covering gaming features in Windows 11, but it may not be approved in time.
Otherwise I just finished editing the ASUS Flow Z13 review, though this also has a sponsor spot in it that's waiting on approval, but I'm hoping to post that this Friday.
For now while we wait for the G14 to commence testing I'll just keep working on the other stuff I've got like XMG Oasis, 3070 Ti vs 3080 Ti GPU comparison and MSI Crosshair 15 review.
Comments
Cause it might be interesting to do a comparison between the oasis and the z13 I feel they are aimed at the same kind of market (mobile performance with extra performance when at home and plugged in)
3080 Ti. In a CPU+GPU stress test, CPU was stuck at 50W while GPU was 175W max. For 3070 Ti CPU was 75W or so while GPU maxed at 150W. Same power budget, but CPU is a variable. Turns out they have different firmware or something based on if you have a 280W or 330W power brick, I might have the 280W limits despite having a 330W brick, but didn't realize this was a thing until it was too late.
Im curious, which one? The 3070ti or 3080ti?
Delayed indefinitely as the power limits on one of the laptops aren't fairly comparable, I have been given an update but assuming it works we might need to retest one laptop at two resolutions in 14 games on both air and water which is a lot of work. Can't jump straight into it either because I have to do some other things like G14 first :( maybe another week or two?
any idea when the xmg oasis video might come out? I'm very interested in that one
