The long-awaited NVIDIA Geforce RTX 30 series notebook GPU finally arrived as scheduled. The new Ampere architecture has almost doubled the performance of the graphics card this time by substantially increasing the number of stream processors. With the addition of the second-generation RT Core and the third-generation Tensor Cores and the blessing of DLSS, the smooth running of 3A masterpieces at 1440P becomes a reality, and you can enjoy high-quality light pursuit experience anytime, anywhere.

Purchasing requirements:

This year, NVIDIA's action is really fast, while the iron is hot, it launched a game book solution equipped with GeForce RTX30 series notebook CPUs. After a year of chasing the first year, it is finally the game book's turn. The progress of this generation of desktop NVIDIA GeForce RTX30 graphics cards is obvious to all, but for gaming notebooks, power consumption, heat generation and performance have always been difficult to balance. The addition of Dynamic Boost 2.0 technology can solve this old problem. Compared with the Code01 all-around notebook launched by the mechanical revolution, Akiba is even more looking forward to using the mechanical revolution Titanium Tantalum Plus to experience Cyberpunk 2077 under the light. Moreover, the mechanical revolution has always performed very well in terms of heat dissipation. Of course, the most important thing is that the CPU power consumption of its GeForce RTX 3070 notebook computer has reached 140W, which is the highest in its class.

Compared with NVIDIA Geforce RTX20 series graphics cards, the new Ampere architecture has different degrees of additions to ray tracing, AI computing and traditional rendering concurrency. Especially for gamers, the performance of NVIDIA Geforce RTX3070 is impressive. Light chasing is the future of the game. You can find another world by simply looking for a game comparison chart.

With the matched DLSS technology, it can be used under the premise of high frame rate.Rendering the most delicate picture, smooth running light chase at 1440P is completely no problem. Coupled with waiting for the mechanical revolution Titanium Tantalum Plus for a long time, I finally got this performance monster at the beginning of 2021, equipped with the long-awaited NVIDIA Geforce RTX3070 notebook GPU. After all, who doesn't want to play light chase games on a laptop.

Unpacking details:

The first feeling when you get your hands is light and thin. The A side of the mechanical revolution Titanium Tantalum Plus uses an aluminum-magnesium alloy panel, which has a good metal texture, but the overall weight is only 2.4kg and the thickness is only 24.9mm . There is no overly exaggerated design on the A side. The design is very grassy, ​​and it will not be too protruding in various occasions. It is an out-and-out "suit mob".

About the configuration of this mechanical revolution Titanium Tantalum Plus, i7-10875H+NVIDIA Geforce RTX3070 combination, 32GB dual-channel DDR4 3200MHz memory, original 1TB NVMe solid state. Although it is a thin and light gaming notebook, in accordance with the past style of the mechanical revolution, it will definitely leave enough room for players to upgrade. Let's take a look at it later.

The screen is a highlight of this mechanical revolution Titanium Tantalum Plus. The 17.3-inch narrow frame design, 2K (1440P) resolution + 165Hz ultra-high refresh rate, and DC dimming make it look very comfortable. And it uses 100% sRGB high color gamut, high color gamut + high resolution + high refresh rate.

There are 1 small ambient lights on both sides of the bottom of the screen, which can not only be customized but also display the remaining battery. Although the A side is low-key, there is a game core after all. There must be no less similar atmosphere lights, but the use is very restrained. The preset equivalence, brightness and speed of the ambient light can be adjusted in the software.

When playing the game to the excitement, don’t worry about accidentally touching the switch button. The mechanical revolution Titanium Tantalum Plus separates the switch buttonThere is also a button to switch the operating mode next to it, which can switch between office mode, game mode and hurricane mode.

The keyboard is backlit, and the key travel must be much longer than that of a thin and light keyboard, so the pressing feel is better than that of a thin and light keyboard like knocking on a steel plate, and with a small keyboard, productivity scenarios can also come in handy .

The touchpad area upgrade is the most obvious place on the C side. The large touchpad area has caught up with the MacBook, which is known for its touchpad. The surface is covered with glass, the sliding feel is very comfortable, and the damping is moderate. With the various gestures on Win10, the efficiency is just right.

interface, the left side of Mechanical Revolution Titanium Plus is a USB 3.1 Gen2 USB-A interface and a separate headset interface, and the right side has two USB 3.1 Gen1 USB-A interfaces. It also comes with an SD card slot.

Such an excellent screen is very comfortable when used to edit pictures and cut movies. After all, this SD card slot, which is relatively rare in game books, is very essence.

On the back of the fuselage, from left to right are the anti-theft lock, full-function Type-C, full-size HDMI, 2.5G network port and power port. The fuselage interface is still very useful. Although there is no DP interface, the full-featured Type-C interface is also fully capable of external high-resolution screen tasks.

Mechanical Revolution Titanium Tantalum Plus In order to cope with the high heat generation of RTX3070, there are 4 air outlets all around, which can meet the heat dissipation requirements to the greatest extent. As for the effect, let's take a look at the baking machine later.

Disassembly test:

The disassembly of the mechanical revolution Titanium Tantalum Plus is still very simple. Twist all the screws on the bottom to open the back cover, but it has a snap design.It is best to be careful when using an opening pick.

The first thing to pay attention to when disassembling is the heat dissipation module. The Mechanical Revolution Titanium Tantalum Plus uses a solution of dual fans and 5 heat pipes. The CPU and GPU cover a total of 4 heat sink fins, which are very thick. In order for the RTX3070 to guarantee a power consumption of 140W under high load tasks, it can be said to be fully equipped.

is pre-installed with two Samsung DDR4 3200MHz 16GB memory, a total of 32GB to form a dual channel, this memory configuration definitely does not need to be upgraded, no matter in terms of size or frequency, it is completely sufficient.

The solid state is pre-installed with a 1TB NVMe solid state of the same group. If the hard disk is not enough, there is a reserved M.2 slot next to it, and you can add another NVMe solid state.

SATA solid state can also be installed below, so there is no need to worry about the scalability, and the 3 hard drives can be upgraded slowly in the future.

As for other configurations, the network card uses the well-known AX201, which supports WiFi6 and Bluetooth 5.1. WiFi6 should be standard configuration starting this year. The battery capacity is 46.74Wh. The battery of the game notebook is UPS, so it’s good to know that there is a battery. Normal use is about 4 hours without playing games.

The internal structure of the Mechanical Revolution Titanium Tantalum Plus is designed to be unconventional. There is no anti-human design that uses the motherboard upside down because of the need to make the machine thin. The core components are also very easy to replace, and the upgrade space is very large. . The performance test will definitely start next, I know you are already in a hurry, don't be anxious, let's take it step by step.

performance test:

First look at the specific configuration of this mechanical revolution Titanium Tantalum Plus,The CPU is i7-10875H. The NVIDIA Geforce RTX3070 notebook GPU used by the graphics card has 5120 stream processors, 8GB of GDDR6 memory, and supports the NVIDIA Resizable BAR function. Through this technology, the notebook CPU can communicate with the GPU at one time. Access all GPU memory to improve performance in many games and extend battery life. At the same time, with the help of NVIDIA Reflex technology, it can bring lower latency and faster response speed. In fast-paced FPS games, the target can be captured and reacted faster, and the aiming accuracy can be improved. The mechanical revolution Titanium Tantalum Plus game originally has two modes of independent display direct connection and nuclear display + independent display hybrid mode. The performance tests that follow are all conducted in the case of independent display direct connection.

Using CPU-Z, you can see that this i7-10875H has 8 cores and 16 threads, TDP has 45W, the highest core frequency can reach 5.1GHz, and the test performance is close to the desktop i7-10700.

i7-10875H also broke the 1W mark in R23's running points, and finally ran out of 10117.

In the stress test, the BIOS settings of the mechanical revolution were more aggressive. The CPU reached a maximum of 95°C and hit the power wall. The final frequency remained at 3.93GHz.

Next, let’s take a look at the performance of the NVIDIA Geforce RTX3070 notebook GPU. In the theoretical test, 3Dmark was used to test. Time Spy scored 9097 points, Time Spy Extreme scored 4698, and optical chase scored 5755. This score is for RTX20 series graphics cards. It should be all silently.

Use doughnuts for baking machine test, turn on "Hurricane Mode", the graphics card temperature soon reached 68°C, after that the temperature is very stable, and the frequency can also be maintained around 1170MHz.The speed of the fan is also full quickly, but the keyboard area is only warm. Although the CPU settings are aggressive, the graphics card settings are still slightly conservative. In fact, the power wall can be raised a bit higher to squeeze more performance. I don't know if the subsequent BIOS update will make some changes.

Let's test the solid-state performance of this Phison. In the AS SSD test, the sequential read speed is 2060.79MB/s, the write speed is 1504.94MB/s, and the 4K read and write speed is also good. If there are no special requirements, this Phison NVMe solid state does not need to be replaced, and the performance and capacity are very good.

Finally, let’s take a look at the performance of these two Samsung RAMs. Due to the limitation of the processor, the actual frequency runs at 2933MHz. However, because it is a dual channel, the read, write and copy speeds are very good, the delay is not very high, and there is no need to upgrade.

Game test:

Just talk about the fake style, and finally come to the game test that everyone is looking forward to. Because the mechanical revolution Titanium Tantalum Plus has the direct connection function of the graphics card, it must be turned on when running the game , So as to maximize the performance of the graphics card.

Let’s start with an appetizer. In CSGO, turn on the highest image quality. At 2K resolution, the average frame rate is around 140 frames. The game is very smooth. However, like this kind of competitive game, the demand for the number of frames is higher than the screen, so lower the resolution, lower the picture quality as appropriate, and run full refresh rate is definitely no problem.

But for the 3A masterpiece, the effect of the picture is very important. After the side dishes, come to a "dinner". NVIDIA Geforce RTX3070 notebook GPU has a certain optimization for the performance after the light chase is turned on. Therefore, in "Cyberpunk 2077", when the light chase is turned on and the highest image quality is enabled, the frame rate can still be maintained above 50 frames, and the graphics card performance has been fully extended. This is the performance at 2K resolution,This number of frames may have a slight "dragging" in the battle screen when playing, slightly lower the picture quality, and the whole process can run more than 60 frames with the light chase turned on.

After the DLSS technology is turned on, there is no visible loss of the game's screen performance. It is indeed a very strong technology, and it can effectively improve the playability of the game. Compared with that little picture loss, the picture optimization brought by ray tracing technology is very large.

In "Far Cry 5", the highest image quality is turned on, and the average number of frames at 2K resolution is 68 frames. The game does not appear to drop frames even when the battle screen or the number of people is very low. The overall game experience Very smooth.

As for the performance of "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey", the performance is as stable as ever, with an average number of frames of 53 frames. Most of the frames remain above 60 during the game, and the number of frames will only decrease during the transition. However, 2K resolution + highest image quality can achieve such results, which is already commendable, and the effect of direct graphics card connection is still very obvious.

Through the above comparison, we have seen the performance of the mobile terminal NVIDIA Geforce RTX3070 is very good, and finally summarized a set of game performance and performance comparison chart, which can be used as a reference for everyone.

In the two games of "Cyberpunk 2077" and "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", the frame rate performance of NVIDIA Geforce RTX3070 and NVIDIA Geforce RTX2080 Super is basically the same when the highest screen is opened.

This is also due to the latest generation of NVIDIA Geforce RTX3070 notebook GPU using the new Ampere architecture, optimized from the architecture level, especially for ray tracing optimization. DLSS is the biggest advantage of RTX series graphics cards. When ray tracing is turned on, the frame rate can be less affected.

It can also be seen in the 3D Mark test results that the performance of NVIDIA Geforce RTX3070 is close to the previous generation flagship NVIDIA Geforce RTX2080 Super.Compared with the previous generation NVIDIA Geforce RTX2070, the performance is improved by 60%~70%.

140W power consumption unlock:

NVIDIA Geforce RTX30 series notebook GPU has joined the Dynamic Boost 2.0 technology, so it will dynamically adjust the performance of CPU, GPU and GPU memory according to the application scenario. That is to say, while improving performance, it does not affect the actual total power consumption of the computer, and the number of game frames has also been increased.

Traditional gaming notebooks have mostly fixed power. The Dynamic Boost 2.0 technology added this time can squeeze every performance of the notebook to the maximum. The mechanical revolution Titanium Tantalum Plus can maintain a power consumption of 140W in such a thin and light volume. Compared with the maximum 125W power consumption scheme given by NVIDIA, it has increased by 15W, which is the highest power consumption release of similar products currently known, which is really valuable.

It should be noted that simply switch to "Hurricane Mode" by the mode switch button next to the power button. The default power consumption is only 115W+5W. It needs to be unlocked through the control center software integrated in the Mechanical Revolution Titanium Tantalum Plus.

Dynamic Boost 2.0 technology dynamically adjusts the performance of CPU, GPU and GPU video memory according to the application scenario. That is to say, while improving performance, it does not affect the actual total power consumption of the computer, and the number of game frames has also been increased. It is not difficult to see from the test results that after unlocking 140W, the overall performance is improved by about 20% compared to the game mode

Mechanical Revolution Titanium Tantalum Plus has a very good start this year, although it is equipped with a super-performance NVIDIA Geforce RTX3070 notebook GPU, but still uphold the simple design style in appearance design. Nowadays, many manufacturers change the appearance and then launch and then sell. The mechanical revolution has a set of very good molds for thin and light notebooks and gaming notebooks.Focus all on updating the internal structure.

In fact, this set of molds is already very good in terms of heat dissipation, so it is enough to support up to 140W GPU power unlocking, and the large touch panel is very suitable for quick operation in a productivity environment, and it is In scenarios with high performance requirements, the graphics card direct connection function can also minimize performance loss, which is very suitable for heavy productivity environments.
