Asus uses Nvidia's latest mobile graphics to push games at 4K

2014-11-10
are you ready to enter the world of 4k pc gaming i'm dan ackerman and this is the ax sous g75 one this is one of the first laptops that we've seen with the next generation of nvidia graphics cards it's the nvidia geforce gtx 980 m and what that means is that really the first generation of mobile cards that can push pc games and reasonable settings at 4k resolution which i think is super exciting and really one of the only reasons anyone should be interested in a 4k TV or 4k monitor because there's not really a lot of twerking video content out there but you can take almost any game and at least try to push it to those higher resolution settings and it's actually a really breathtaking experience if you get it to work right now of course in the 17 inch laptop like this big bulky desktop replacement gaming laptop you don't actually get a 4k screen just a regular 1920 x 1080 screen it's not even a touchscreen but what you would do is you take this guy and output it via HDMI to your 4k TV or your 4k monitor and then I've had a lot of luck running recent games at 4k resolution usually it low to medium to high medium settings if you have some older games you can crank wazzup as far as they'll go and up to 4k resolution and it's really a lot of fun and it looks great of course if you want to get the optimal sort of visual performance you really do want to turn up all the graphic settings in which case you want to keep it at 1080 but the the 980 card in here paired with a a current-gen high on core i7 an interesting 24 gigs of ram and a very nice storage combo 256 gig SSD and a one terabyte regular hard drive so plenty of room to download and store a lot of games looks fantastic you know if you're playing at 1080p which you can do right here on this screen or on an external monitor of course this is not the fanciest looking gaming laptop out there right now a lot of the newer ones have gone you know very kind of thin and light but with that you can't squeeze in the 980 card or the higher-end cards you're pretty much stuck with a card that's kind of the middle of the last generation you see that some of the slimmer gaming laptops that's perfectly fine but if one a very high-end top gaming experience you're gonna have to make some trade-offs and in this case your trading performance for for a thicker heavier kind of a dorm room you looking body here there couple of interesting buttons on here one directly launches steam for you if you have steam the pc game software installed another one launches invidious shadow play game recording in case you want to take your gameplay footage and record it or stream it online and of course all this is not inexpensive it starts at 24 99 with all the parts that i listed here you can actually get a much less powerful version of this about 1500 but really want which about it i'm dan akron and that is the asst g75 one
