Gigabyte Aero 15X-CF2 (W/ Pantone screen & GTX 1070 Max-Q)

The Gigabyte Aero 15X-CF2 comes with a discrete graphics chip in the form of Nvidia’s GTX 1070. For our tests today, we have ran Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Rise of the Tomb Raider on this laptop. We used 1080p resolution both times and used the highest available graphics settings while running each game’s in-built benchmark.

The Gigabyte’s superior 3D Mark results gave way to better gaming results. Its Deus Ex average of 54fps was twenty frames better than the Razer’s GPU, and that average was bolstered by a minimum of 42fps – which means that this demanding game will remain playable at the highest settings and in the busiest moments.

The Aero was miles ahead in Rise of the Tomb Raider, where it recorded an average of 106fps at the game’s High settings. That’s 31fps ahead of the Razer machine. The Gigabyte didn’t stop there, either – it recorded playable scores at Very High settings.
