everyone we are at CES 2017 looking at the GTX 1050 laptops I have two of them here from Dell they are the Dell XPS 15 we're at the Nvidia suite I don't actually have a meeting with Dell but we're gonna be talking about these the specs in a very brief sort of tertiary benchmark of the overwatch settings on ultra so we'll be talking about that if we're getting to that this content is brought to you by cyber power and their cyber XL gaming PC which comes equipped with an invertible motherboard tray that they set up for you link in the description below for more information on that so there are three main benchmarks that I do on these types of laptops and overwatch is generally the third one in the bench we like to run GTA 5 and things like that as well but the 1050 as it is presented here really only has this one title setup on it for us to work with at the suite so we've got overwatch it is the least intensive game that I generally work with laptops but I can give you a baseline and we can throw a chart on the screen of my benchmarks from overwatch with the actual desktop 1050 and see how the numbers compare going over the basics first the specs the Dell XPS 15 here in front of me has the i7 7700 HQ version of Intel's KB Lake processors and that is a higher-end SKU but it's an HQ model not an HK model so it's not unlocked for overclocking the 1050 however you can overclock through normal means you can use your own tools afterburner precision things like that and the vendors so that'd be MSI Dell any of the other CyberPower they have their own ability to overclock and then sell it with an advertised higher clock rate so they've got some room to play in there to differentiate themselves depending on the thermal solution and thermal solution for these because their laptops really dictates everything you'll see different performance from one to the next even with the same GPU just because of the thermal solution and this is a pretty light and thin laptop so of course that's a limit your ability to breathe all the ventilation is on the bottom not gonna want to put this on a blanket or something but you've got your ventilation on the bottom I'm not sure how many fans are in here we opened it or anything like that I don't have the right tools to do that it's got star head screws but in terms of the basics 15 inch screen same i7 I said the GTX 1050 desktop version is basically in the notebooks there are some differences so clock rate for example and CUDA core account can be changed between desktop and notebook depending on how and video wants to tune for performance versus temperature in a small form-factor and in this case I believe it's 642 decors and then the clock rate of this one is some around 13 54 megahertz base and we'll have bass and boost on the website if you haven't seen that coverage already for the very basic band shark this is not scientific I don't have my normal tools with me maybe look at it more later but the basics using overwatch is built in frame rate analysis tools and using ultra settings with 100% render resolution at I don't even what think about 1080p on this display yeah 1080p ultra settings we're getting somewhere around 57 280 FPS in the training benchmark course we normally run that's a big range so when you average it the numbers should look pretty close to about 59 to 60 ish and we'll have to benchmark that again with real tools but that's unpretty confident in that being the landing-place so not bad for 1080 with ultra settings on a gtx 1050 in a notebook with an i7 of course helping it out a bit overwatch is not the most intensive game in the world but that gives you a baseline for comparison against the desktop parts if you're curious about that of course you have to control for the CPU and things but talk about that more later so that's that's what I have for you on the Dell XPS 15 we'll look up price things like that and throw it in the article which you can find linked in the description below that will be our gtx 950 news announcement written by patrick Lathan so check that out thank you for watching as always pay john linka postal video subscribe for more content i'll see you all next time you
