hey guys and welcome back to hardware unboxed today we'll be taking a deeper dive into the gaming power of aim DS latest rise in mobile chips which hopefully will be available in a wider range of ultra portable laptops in the coming months if you were specifically eyeing off a rising mobile laptop for a bit of gaming on the side this video will be for you and I should say two videos because I am splitting this analysis up into two parts the first part this video will be looking at how the Rison 5 2500 you performs in popular multiplayer and eSports titles like pub G fortnight overwatch and more the second part which will be coming in a couple of days we'll be looking at newer Triple A games like Assassin's Creed origins The Witcher 3 shadow of war and a bunch of other punishing titles the goal here isn't to provide a whole stack of benchmark charts pitting rising mobile up against other laptops because we already sort of know where this APU sits among faster discreet GPUs and Intel super slow integrated graphics instead I'll be looking at what games can actually be played on rise and mobile laptops at what settings and with what sort of framerate and experience there's gonna be a ton of capture footage here so you'll get to see exactly what it's like to game with the rise in mobile laptop before I get into the games it's worth mentioning I tested everything on the HP Envy x-360 a 15-inch slim and light laptop with the risin 5 2500 you inside and 16 gig of ram there is a faster rise of mobile trip out there the horizon 7 2700 you which increases the integrated Vega GPU shader core count from 512 to 644 a lot of extra performance I haven't had hands-on time with this fast APU just yet but when I do expect an updated version of this video with brand new data the first game I'll be looking at is probably the one you'll be most interested in prior unknowns battlegrounds and that's not just because the game is popular but because it's well known to be a bit rough around the edge is to put it nicely on the horizon five 2500 year to get this game in the realm of playability I had to set everything to as low as it would go 1080p with a 70% render scale so the game is actually running at 756 P along with everything else set to very low even though the game looks like utter garbage at these settings it doesn't run well at all on rise on mobile I was barely achieving 30 fps often dipping down to the mid 20s and that's not really improved by chucking the resolution down even further to 720p or any lower some games are okay to play around the 30fps barrier but pub G isn't one of those so the game ends up feeling extremely sluggish and difficult to control at these frame rates and just think this is kind of what it's like to play pub G on the Xbox one which is a bit disgusting to be honest anyway hopefully with more optimization work down the track this game won't run like a turd sandwich on rising mobile forever the big competitor to pub G these days is for tonight's battle royale mode and you'll be pleased to hear this game runs a lot better on ROS and mobile which I guess isn't that hard to do I set the game to 1080p native resolution with everything else set to low and throughout most of the matches I played I was hovering around the high 30s to low 40s framerate now this isn't the highest framerate for a game like this but there is room to reduce the render resolution down to 720p and hit that 60fps sweet spot even when playing at full 1080p the game doesn't feel sluggish and is perfectly playable in my opinion it's pretty clear that if you want a battle royale type experience on a laptop it's for tonight where you'll have the best time and just before I move on to the next game fortnight it doesn't run well at all on Intel's KB like refreshed laptop CPUs you struggle to get decent frame rates at 720p and lowering the resolution further makes it hard to spot enemies so rise and move are really is the way to go for this title can a strike global offensive is a game you can sort of play on Intel's 8th gen laptop CPUs it's not really a great experience hovering around 40 FPS at the lowest possible settings but with the rise and 5 2500 you it's a very playable game in fact it's one of the best performing games I tested Rison Mobile has no trouble hitting consistent 60 FPS at 1080p with the lowest detail settings and often you see performance more around the hundred FPS mark without a free sync display on the HP Envy x-360 tearing was a big issue as the game often hovered in the 60 to 100 FPS range where screen tearing can be very noticeable however the actual game performance here is fantastic and there's clearly enough power in this laptop to play csgo and have a lot of fun in the process probably the best game to play on rising mobile in terms of performance is rocket League this game runs really well on the Rison 5 2500 views Bega 8 GPU so well you don't need to play on the lowest possible settings yes I set the render detail here to the performance settings with render quality at the quality level bit confusing there but that's the way it goes and there was even some Headroom for FXAA low and of course the resolution was set to native 1080p with these settings in play the game ran comfortably at 60fps which is what you want to hit with the fast-paced game like rocket League now we are talking about the 200 FPS you can achieve on a laptop actually built for gaming this is a great result for rising mobile it's also the sort of game that suffers the least from playing low graphics settings you know there's no distant enemies to spot so a few jagged edges or low-res textures has very little impact on the core gameplay the one downside to rocket League on laptop is it is best to play with the controller so you'll need to pack one along if you're planning on playing on the go overwatch is a perfect candidate for laptop gaming because it's engine scales well across a range of hardware here with the risin 5 2500 you I used the low preset at 1080p with the 75% render scale so the game was rendering at more like a 10 P however despite the lower than native resolution overwatch looks surprisingly good and doesn't suffer from playability issues resulting from the low-resolution the best news and running the game at these settings is the framerate overwatch runs mostly at 60fps with some occasional dips into the mid 40s but in general the game is very playable like csgo any gaming laptop will comfortably run this game at hundreds of frames per second but achieving around 60 FPS on a feelin like a laptop without sacrificing every shred of quality is no easy feat the final game I'm looking at in this video is also the game I'm probably the worst at quake champions this title is still in early access through Bethesda's website though since last time I played they've begun adding pad elements like additional characters it's a fun extremely fast paced shooter that I just happen to be especially awful at in any case this game is very playable with similar settings to overwatch 1080p and a low preset with the resolution scale set to 75% this game looks a bit worse here than over watch at the same settings however quake can be played at higher frame rates in most situations at least 60 fps this is not a game you want to play below 60 FPS so thankfully the Rison 5 2500 U is fast enough for this level of performance looking across all six games here the only one that's not particularly playable is pub G which shouldn't come as much of a surprise bought night is very playable at native 1080p while csgo and rocket League both provides 60 Plus FPS also at this native resolution with overwatch and quake champions you will have to tone down the resolution a tad however this is only to ensure a 60 FPS experience the good thing here as well is most of these games don't run very well on Intel's UHD 620 integrated graphics in their cable you wake refresh mobile parts so you do get a genuine advantage purchasing a Raisa mobile APU instead whether or not companies choose to release laptops with rice and mobile is another question but the science here in terms of performance at least are very promising as mentioned earlier I'll have part this analysis coming up in the next couple of days which looks at more graphically intensive triple-a titles including some surprising results if you're interested in buying a Raisa mobile laptop there are only a few are available but what we do have links to check their prices
