In the era of RTX 30 games, hardware models and parameters have become more of a paper reference. And if a game is to become a "power machine", the processor and graphics card dual-core hardware power consumption of the model must be high, and the performance release must be strong enough! This time, Uncle Niu commented on such a high-power violent game book-Acer Predator Tomahawk 300. In addition to the i7 11800H processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, this machine also has a 140W RTX 3070 that is called the "full blood version", which is the current flagship high-end product. How about the actual combat performance of such a gaming notebook with dazzling hardware parameters?
Advantages: is fully equipped and cost-effective; i7 11800H has a powerful performance release; RTX 3070 is a 140W high-power version; high load C surface temperature control is better; 3 years warranty + 3 years onsite , Comprehensive after-sales guarantee

metal AC surface,Attention to detail design
Predator Tomahawk 300 inherits the family-style design in appearance, the body details are blessed with some game elements, and the overall appearance is a calm style. For example, the air outlets at the rear of the fuselage are designed in silver and black contrasting colors, which look very powerful (by the way, the four air outlets of the fuselage have sufficient "wind" when the load is high); the left and right sides of the A side There is a striped decoration with a luminous predator icon LOGO in the middle, which is highly recognizable. The A and C sides of the Marauder Tomahawk 300 are made of metal, which makes the aircraft's fuselage more classy.
C surface has some designs worth mentioning, the upper left area of the keyboard is independently set up with a "TURBO" button, press it to switch between the fan "maximum mode" and "automatic mode", easy to operate . In addition, there is an independent predator button in the numeric keyboard area on the right, which can activate the predator induction control system with one key. This is a built-in software that integrates the performance mode, fan control, RGB lighting effect and other functions. , It is convenient for players to personalize settings according to different preferences, use environment, etc.
Judging from the experience of Uncle Niu, the function and ease of use of the software are generally satisfactory, which is considered to be a relatively good job. But there is one point that can be optimized: after turning off TURBO, the performance mode will automatically return to the "default mode" instead of the previously set "beast mode", which requires manual switching, which is slightly troublesome.
Predator Tomahawk 300 weighs 2.84kg. As a 17.3-inch large-screen model, its portability is relatively average. Fortunately, the fuselage is not too thick, which is pretty good, and it does not seem to have the ruggedness of a heavy fuselage gaming notebook.
processor performance release: single test stable 70W, rendering full load 85W+
The evaluation model Marauder Tomahawk 300 is equipped with Intel's 11th generation Intel Core i7 11800H, which is a standard H45 processor,With 8 cores and 16 threads, the default TDP is 45W, the highest core frequency is 4.6GHz, and 's third-level cache reaches 24MB. Of course, if you often read the evaluation, you will know that for the i7 11800H, the most obvious feature is "high power consumption and high performance." Therefore, the most critical point is, how many watts can the performance release of the Marauder Tomahawk 300 reach?
Perform a single test processor (FPU) test on the Predator Tomahawk 300 at room temperature around 26°C (the machine is set to "beast mode" during the test to simulate daily use), and the test machine lasts for half an hour. The operating state is as follows: The power consumption of the i7 11800H is about 70W. The real-time state of the processor at the time of the screenshot is 70W/100°C/3.43GHz. This kind of performance is considered a powerful model in the i7 11800H gaming notebook, but at the same time, everyone can see that the processor temperature is not low.
In addition, after turning on the one-key TURBO, the fan speed will reach the maximum. At this time, the single test FPU test will increase the processor power consumption to about 78W, the frequency to 3.61GHz, and the temperature does not change. The following is an analysis from the measured data.
As you can see, in the benchmark test, the i7 11800H equipped with the Marauder Tomahawk 300 performed very powerfully! For example, in the most familiar Cinebench R20 multi-core test, the machine's multi-core score reached 5364, which is 14.5% higher than the 65W i7 11800H. In addition, there are only a few models that can exceed 5000 in this test. , And these models are basically violent machines. At the same time, in the benchmark test, the performance of the Marauder Tomahawk 300 also surpassed the 77W Ryzen 7 5800H.
This may be a surprise to many users, because we have tested the i7 11800H around 77W before, but its test results are not as aggressive as the Predator Tomahawk 300. What is the reason? Actually,When the Predator Tomahawk 300 ran the benchmark test, its processor burst power consumption was very high. For example, in the Cinebench R23 multi-core test below, its highest instantaneous power consumption exceeded 100W! The explosion state lasts about half a minute, so in the short-term benchmark test, the performance of the Predator Tomahawk 300 is very eye-catching. It is the first echelon model of the current mobile platform, or it is the model tested by Uncle Niu. The top few in the game.
So, here comes a new question. How does the i7 11800H equipped with the Predator Tomahawk 300 perform under full load for a long time? Will it be as brave as in the benchmark test? In response to this problem, Uncle Niu used Blender to continuously render six scenes to investigate the full load of the processor (in order to test the maximum performance of the machine, turn on the one-key TURBO when fully loaded). Uncle Niu also focused on his i7 during the test. Operation of 11800H: The maximum burst breaks through 100W, and the long-term stable output power consumption is about 88W, which greatly exceeds the power consumption of the test machine! The final comparison of the test results of this machine is as follows:
There is no doubt that whether it is from the full-load power point of view, or from the perspective of the final rendering time, the Predator Tomahawk 300 The release of processor performance is excellent! Especially in the time-consuming classroom and victor scenes, the advantages are most prominent. Moreover, the processor performance of this machine is not only far ahead in the Core platform game book, but also wins the high-power version of the Ryzen 7 5800H, which can be called a performance hurricane!
▲In Blender rendering process, the real-time state of the processor is 89W/4.09GHz, which is just one step away from the highest frequency of the full core
Of course, from the actual measurement, you might say, predator Tomahawk 300's i7 11800H processor renders the temperature is higher when it is fully loaded. Indeed, high power and high frequency not only bring high performance but also high core temperature. In response to this, Uncle Niu deliberately felt the temperature of the C surface during the computer-based test machine and full-load rendering—the result was only a slight thermal sensation.Does not affect the use at all. However, there is one thing to note. The fan is noisy after turning on the one-button TURBO. It is recommended to switch to the "beast mode" for normal use.
▲In fact, in video applications such as video transcoding , the frequency reaches 4.2GHz (the highest turbo frequency of all cores) at 65W, and the temperature is about 85°C
synthesis From a point of view, regarding the processor performance of this machine, we can get an evaluation: the performance release is super strong, and it is in a leading position among the same processor models!
140W RTX 3070: 2K, the highest picture quality!
Test Predator Tomahawk 300 is equipped with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU, the second flagship model in the RTX 30 series mobile platform. In terms of detailed parameters, it has 5120 stream processors, 8GB of video memory, and a base frequency of 1110MHz. , The acceleration frequency is 1560MHz. In FurMark, if you test the graphics card alone, this RTX 3070 fluctuates at 140W, which is commonly known as the "full blood version".
graphics card benchmark performance test
From the 3DMark benchmark test, the score of 3070 is good. In the Time Spy test project, the graphics card score is 10499, which is about 22% performance improvement compared to the 130W RTX 3060 (both models do not support independent display direct connection, better comparison); and in the Prot Royal ray tracing test , The score is 6324, which is about 25% higher than the 130W RTX 3060; in the Fire Strike Extreme test,The score is 13595, which is about 27% ahead of the 130W RTX 3060.
FHD game performance test
First is the full HD resolution highest quality game test. Uncle Niu added the test results of the 130W RTX 3060 game book as a comparison. However, it should be noted that the processor platform of the reference model is different, so the test results are for reference only.
Judging from the test frame rate, the Marauder Tomahawk 300 performs very well under FHD! Even the well-known bad optimization game "Cyberpunk 2077" has an average frame rate of about 60fps under the FHD preset super quality, and the game experience is smooth. As for other 3A masterpieces, it easily reaches between 68-108fps, with high fluency. Of course, more than 130W RTX 3060 game book is not a problem.
▲ " Gears of War 5 ", the test frame rate of the Marauder Tomahawk 300 under the highest FHD quality is 106fps
Therefore, the real battlefield of RTX 3070 has actually reached the 2K resolution level, and The Predator Tomahawk 300 is also equipped with a 2560×1440 resolution 165Hz gaming screen. We have increased the pressure to 2K resolution.
2K game performance comparison test
According to actual measurement, the Marauder Tomahawk 300 can handle most 3A games at the highest 2K resolution, most games can reach 60fps And above frame rate, the game experience is smooth. Of course, if you want a higher frame rate, you can appropriately reduce some of the image quality settings, and the fluency will be further improved. For a game like "Cyberpunk 2077" that has poor frame rate performance at 2K resolution,Players can turn on the DLSS option to increase the frame rate. In other words, in general, the 140W RTX 3070 can handle 2K resolution, which is appropriate!
▲ "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey" 2K highest quality, the average frame rate of Marauder Tomahawk 300 is 58fps, RTX 3060 frame rate is lower, because the burst of video memory
combined with FHD and 2K game measurement , It can be seen that the Predator Tomahawk 300 can run the current mainstream stand-alone masterpieces smoothly under the highest image quality of FHD and the highest image quality of 2K. The second flagship full-blood RTX 3070 is indeed powerful.
double test test: the whole machine is fully loaded with about 180W
room temperature is about 25 ℃, using Aida64 and FurMark to conduct a double test test on the Predator Tomahawk 300 (using the beast mode to simulate the situation when the user is playing the game), half The situation after hours is as follows: the package power consumption of the i7 11800H processor is about 55W, the frequency is about 2.67GHz, and the real-time temperature of the processor is 96℃; the power consumption of RTX 3070 is about 125W, the frequency is about 1400MHz, and the temperature is 83.6. ℃ near.
In addition, if you turn on the one-key TURBO, the dual-core power is basically unchanged, but the temperature is reduced, the processor will drop to about 93°C, and the graphics card will drop to about 80°C, but at this time the fan The noise is significantly increased, about 59 decibels above the keyboard. It is recommended to use the beast mode for daily use.
Temporarily missing internal image
Surface temperature and noise: The overall temperature of the C surface is low, and the heat accumulates in the middle of the keyboard, up to about 45°C, and the left control area is around 40°C, only subtle The heat. The fan is noisy at full load, and the area above the keyboard is about 55 decibels.
Judging from the full double test,The Marauder Tomahawk 300 performed well. The performance of the whole machine of 180W is released, and the dual-core combination of i7 11800H and RTX 3070 is stress-free, and the control area on the C side is cool. It is a powerful machine for performance release!
screen, SSD and interface
The detailed configuration specifications of the Predator Tomahawk 300 are also quite high. The machine is equipped with a 17.3-inch 2560×1440 resolution 165Hz high color gamut screen with a response speed of 3ms. The measured color gamut is 100% sRGB, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, and the highest brightness is about 360 nits. In terms of color accuracy, the maximum value of △E is 1.95, the minimum value is 0.50, and the average value is 1.09. The resolution, refresh rate and color performance are good, and the daily use, gaming and entertainment experience are relatively good.
The memory is the standard 8GB×2 dual-channel combination of the game book. The standard configuration is PCIe 4.0 SSD, which has fast read and write speeds. An additional M.2 hard disk space and a 2.5-inch SATA hard disk are reserved inside. It also comes with a hard disk cable. Players who need large-capacity storage can upgrade by themselves.
interface, the ease of use and scalability of the Predator Tomahawk 300 are excellent. The body has three large USB ports, which are distributed on both sides: two USB3.0 Gen1 on the left and one USB3.2 Gen2 on the right; there are two video expansion ports, one is Mini DP and the other is HDMI 2.1, it is convenient to connect multiple monitors; in addition, as an 11th-generation Core gaming notebook, the machine also has a Thunderbolt 4 interface, which has high bandwidth and can be connected to more devices.
Conclusion
