today we're testing the new ish GTX 10 to DTI notebook GPU which is ultimately a desktop GPU in a notebook with some changes to things like clock speed this has been the trend for a while now with the end of the M series or at least see me in the end of it today we're using a GE 72 7r e apache pro notebook from msi which has a four gigabyte version of the 1050 TI though there are also two gigabyte versions and that's got an i7 7700 HQ cpu adds 2.8 gigahertz with no changes otherwise the GE at 72 seven-hour a Apache pro is coming up in a separate review for us soon but today we're just looking at a 10 2 d TI GPU performance rather than reviewing the notebook as a whole before getting to those that this coverage is brought to you by EVGA and their 1080p is c2 which we've recommended fairly highly for its build quality and the icx sensors which are kind of fun to play with you can check our full SC 2 review for the 1080i if you're curious to learn more or you can click the link in the description below to find the product page for the 1080i st to look at the gtx 1050 TI GPU alone rather than reviewing the entire notebook helps us because we can establish baseline forward weight where you should expect the tendon TTI to perform for all the notebooks now because notebooks have differences in CPU and other spec it's not like we can just swap the one part that means you'll see some variance from one notebook to the other but for the most part they all pretty much use i7s they're very similar hardware other than that GPU component so this will allow us to establish the baseline the review is coming up separately we've got some thoughts on the notebook to talk about in that dedicated review but before getting to the testing a couple notes on methodology notebooks are tricky because notebooks in the review world are all basically loners we don't keep them like we do with a lot of the other parts where you keep it because you want to do regression testing has drivers iterate as there are changes to games game patches new games whatever all that stuff changes so you want to hang on to it so you can do regression testing it's called where you revisit an older piece of hardware or you try and figure out things as they iterate in update notebooks aren't the same way because there's such an expensive unit to loan out for review manufacturers generally don't give them out that means that we are going based off of some older tests here we've got some new tests like Sniper Elite Four and overwatch for the 1050 Ti but those tests don't necessarily include things like b gtx 1060 notebook GPU because that one was on loan to us as was the 1080 notebook GPU we only have that for Mordor and Metro last light and the same is true for a couple of the others however because we're mostly looking for scaling anyway we can still rely on those older game benchmarks which are fantastic for the reason that they do not update they are done with development so we can trust that they haven't changed there haven't been driver changes because they're old enough so that lets us look at scaling and then we can look on an overview of all results just for a baseline of where the 1050 Ti is we're starting with the chart over viewing the 1050 Ti laptops performance and all the games tested and we'll then move to the comparative charts versus other GPS after testing overwatch at 1080p with ultra settings we land at around 92 FPS average in a match or 105 average in our deprecated training mode benchmarks these are only caps for comparison versus the old data since the scaling is still linear our recent overwatch graphics optimization guide discusses the new methods we use for match testing which includes a several minute long test pass for another modern title Sniper Elite 4 with DirectX 12 asynchronous compute enabled and the high settings with 1080p resolution places the tentative DTI at 54 FPS average those are at 43 and 40 FPS respectively 1% and jehan percent this is reasonably playable given that we're on a laptop grade piece of hardware and have at different tolerances than desktops looking nice to GTA 5 we're nearing 60 FPS average on the 1050 TI notebook lo-lo's don't scale quite as well here as another game so that's more of a game level difference than a hardware level difference something that we'll see when we get to the GTA 5 standalone benchmarks Hardware ultimately execute the game though so we can draw some limitations there as to how much the game is responsible for but let's move on to some comparative charts for the older game this is one of the few games where we have every relevant laptop GPU present so we'll spend some time here shadow of Mordor is a bit of a throwback it gives us the most data 4% of scaling comparison since we've used it heavily for benchmarking dating back to really a couple years ago at 1080p with ultra settings with 1050 TI notebook covers around 58 FPS average that place is at approximately 22% ahead of the gtx 970m notebooks the 970 m is from before Nvidia's moved to a drive desktop GPUs notebooks hence marking a larger difference than you might see between a desktop 970 and a desktop 10 to DTI the 1050 Ti does well in this regard and the gtx 1060 msi ge62 v our notebook runs at least 32 percent faster with 77 FPS average which is also faster than the mobile 980 m and the fan book's corresponding cpu the GTO is 1070 is next at 114 FPS average for a 48% speed increase over the 1060 and about a 2x speed increase over the 1050 Ti the GK X 1080 cleveo notebook is at the very top with its 139 FPS average and we haven't been able to get hands on with a 1080 notebook since the launch so this is the only set of numbers that we have for them we've got more tests - but before that a quick discussion on the numbers with laptops the big question as is always the case of laptops is how much you really need it's not like a desktop where you've got effectively unlimited power you're not worried about battery life and you can upgrade things like your monitor to be more than what ever comes with the laptop for instance so with a laptop you're looking at if you're stuck on a 1080p screen how much do you need because as you increase the GPUs capabilities so to decrease the life of the battery if you're trying to do any kind of actual gaming while mobile or portable although that is hopefully somewhat uncommon because you're you're just going to murder the battery in a matter of an hour or less in some cases so the 1050 Ti so far with our baseline overview results looks to be doing pretty well it hangs on around 60 fps for the most part if not above by this amount or slightly under and if you're not concerned about hitting the highest possible graphics quality settings with a high frame rate it's not a bad performer because with a notebook ultimately you care about other things as well like form factor and battery life and the 1050 TI will enable both of those better than some of these other notebooks GPUs will so that's one of the big things to consider as we roll into the next set of benchmarks we're down to games where we have fewer devices present but can still start showing differences between at least the 10 60 and 1050 Ti with a splash of other 900 series laptops the 1050 Ti runs Metro last light with an average FPS of 51 outpacing the 970m system by 26% the GTX 1060 unit runs nearly 48 percent faster than the 1050 Ti putting out a frame rate which is almost always above 60 fps with some exceptions in the low department black ops 3 is next and has always been fairly well optimized this game places the 1050 TI notebook at 76 FPS average when running the high settings with FXAA that makes the tender DPI about 22% faster than the 970 m notebook and makes the x 60 about 44% faster than the gtx 950 TI notebook there's decent scaling here but it again becomes a question of whether or not you need the power when considering other items for e notebooks consideration again like form factor cooling & noise and this is our deprecated overwatch test we've since replaced it with laun matched benchmarks which we detailed in our overwatch graphics optimization guide and in the summary of results for this benchmark because we're comparing against laptops we no longer have access to you we're looking at the numbers on the screen here they're still accurate with regard to scaling just a bit higher than what you'd see in a match the tendency I place is about 19% ahead of the 970 m and 5700 HQ build would be 1050 at 40% ahead of the gtx 750ti this is fairly consistent with our other numbers and isn't anything too exciting and really any department but 1050 Ti does pretty well with overwatch all things considered so that provides the baseline of where the GTX tension TTI performs in notebooks obviously there are some differences because not all notebooks are going to be created equal to 1050 Ti so the things to keep in mind here are that our model had an i7 CPU so if you're looking at something with an i-5 which is pretty rare in notebooks but can happen then the performance will be different overall though this gives us a baseline it was as percent scaling to the 1016 the very least in some games 17:10 eighty we are testing the 1070 next and we'll be adding that so then we'll have 1050 TI 1060 and a 1070 to compare to which is a pretty good set of benchmarks for laptops the other immediate content to follow will be our review of this notebook so this was the GE 72 7r e apache pro and we've also got another ge62 to look at but the seven RT will come first because it's there are some interesting things with it we're expanding our notebook testing a bit which will be
