The Asou Scott Gaming Laptop Review: A Look at Its Performance in Various Games
Testing the Nvidia 1070 Graphics with the Susur's/Boost Mode Enabled
We began by testing the Nvidia drivers with the susur's / boost mode enabled, which boosts the power limit of the CPU and increases the fan speed. This allowed us to see how well the laptop would perform with this feature enabled. The results were impressive, as we were able to average above 100 FPS in games even at epic settings. In one test, we used the replay feature and set the game to high settings, which resulted in frame rates that exceeded the refresh rate of the display. Similarly, in Overwatch, we saw 1% low results at medium settings that were above the refresh rate of the display, indicating smooth performance.
Overwatch Testing with Epic Settings
We tested Overwatch playing in the practice range and again in epic settings, and the results were very nice. Even in max settings, the game ran excellent, with 1% lows not too far below the refresh rate of the display. This showed that the laptop was capable of handling demanding games at high settings.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider Testing
We tested Shadow of the Tomb Raider using the built-in benchmark and found that it performed a bit better than the MSI GE62 Dive, which was recently tested with the same hardware. The results were encouraging, as we saw smooth performance even in max settings.
CSGO Testing
Using the Aletta chol benchmark, we tested CSGO and found that the frame rates were actually pretty decent for this hardware combination. At Ultra settings, 1% lows averaged above 60 FPS, making it quite playable.
Rainbow Six Siege Testing
We tested Rainbow Six Siege using the built-in benchmark and saw great results. The frame rates at all setting levels were impressive, with 1% lows at highest setting levels not far behind the refresh rate of the display.
Far Cry 5 Testing
Using the and benchmark, we found that Far Cry 5 was another game that performed well with this hardware combination. Averages for 1% low were above 60, and frame rates were high even at fairly high settings.
Assassin's Creed Origins Testing
We tested Assassin's Creed Origins using the built-in benchmark and saw great results. The frame rates were good, especially considering that we don't think a high frame rate is necessary to play this game.
Dota 2 Testing with Intensive Replay
Using a fairly intensive replay for Dota 2, we saw decent performance compared to other laptops. The results were not the same as actually playing the game, but they were still impressive.
Battlefield 1 Testing
We tested Battlefield 1 in the first campaign mission and found that it ran well at all setting levels. The 1% loads were quite high, and there wasn't much CPU throttling, indicating smooth performance.
Watchdogs 2 Testing with Ultra Settings
Despite being a demanding game, we found that Watchdogs 2 was still playable even at Ultra settings. Averages for 60 FPS made it an impressive result.
Ghost Recon Testing with Built-in Benchmark
We tested Ghost Recon using the built-in benchmark and saw great results. The game is typically not played at high settings, but this laptop ran well even at Ultra settings.
The Witcher 3 Testing
We tested The Witcher 3 playing great at anything below ultra. Even at Ultra settings, it was still definitely playable. Stepping down to High settings showed a noticeable jump in frame rates.
Doom Testing with Vulcan
Using Vulcan, we found that Doom ran perfectly smooth for us while playing even on Ultra settings. Frame rates were high, and 1% lows were above 100 FPS.
Shadow of War Testing with Built-in Benchmark
We tested Shadow of War using the built-in benchmark and saw great results. Low settings averaged above the refresh rate of the display, making it a great option for those who want to play demanding games at lower settings.
Ashes of the Singularity Testing with DirectX 12
Using DirectX 12, we tested Ashes of the Singularity and found that the results were better than many other laptops with similar specs. The performance was impressive, especially in games that don't require high frame rates.
The Asou Scott Gaming Laptop Performance Summary
Based on our tests, it seems that the Nvidia 1070 graphics are a great option for those looking to run games above 100 FPS. With the 144 Hertz 1080p screen and this hardware combination, we were able to achieve smooth performance in various games. While some games may require stepping down settings to maintain frame rates, the Asou Scott Gaming Laptop still delivered impressive results.
In conclusion, our tests showed that the Asou Scott Gaming Laptop is a great option for gamers who want high-performance laptops without sacrificing smoothness. The Nvidia 1070 graphics, combined with the laptop's cooling system, allow for fast and efficient performance even in demanding games.
