Dell Tour 15: The GTX 1050Ti's dessert-grade extraterrestrial

[PConline stand-alone evaluation] When it comes to Dell's game books, the first thing we think of is often the alien series. The alien series is indeed a high-end game in the ring, as a game enthusiast, if not bad money, the first choice for the purchase of the game is basically an alien. But the price of aliens is not affordable for every gamer, and there are other low-cost games besides the classic alien series, such as the Tour series, which is now launched by Dell. The new generation of Tour Master uses a new 7-generation Core and 10 Series graphics cards. Next we take a look.

Dessert-grade "alien"! How is the experience?

Recreation Master uses the mid-end dessert-class notebook graphics card nVidia Geforce GTX 1050Ti. It is produced on TSMC's 16nm process and has 768 stream processors. The core frequency is slightly higher than the desktop version of GTX 1050Ti, and its memory has 4GB GDDR5. In other configurations, Recreation Master has a 15.6-inch full HD screen, Core i7-7700HQ, 8GB DDR4, 128GB solid state drive, 500GB mechanical hard drive and so on. What is the performance of this mainstream configuration? Next we look at the actual game performance of the downstream Master.

● GTA 5

"Grand Theft Auto V" is a crime-themed open-air action adventure game published by Rockstar Games. The game background is based on Los Angeles in the real region and Southern California.

2. Vertical sync: off
3. Picture quality effect: full effect

Some time ago GTA5 was crazy promotions on Steam, and many players started, but what kind of graphics card do you want to play with this game? Past experience is that in the case of full-effect effects, if you want to get a relatively good gaming experience, the graphics card should start on the GTX 980. Can the GTX 1050Ti handle it? We first tested the performance of the full effect, we chose to bring its own BenchMark test scene, from the point of view of the results of the frame number, the game under the full effect of the state of the GTX 1050Ti load is still too large, the number of frames is about 28, Can only barely meet the definition of smooth, and we switched to the default configuration is good after the playability is still the majority of scenes are maintained at 60 or more.

● "Singularity"

"Singularity Ashes" is a real-time strategy game created by Stardock. The game was built using the Nitrous engine of Oxide Games. The background is set in the distant future. At that time, human beings are completely ideological and people have mastered the power of God. But humans find themselves in a war. The enemy is an ideological AI called "Haalee" that attempts to overthrow the dominance of mankind in the universe.

2. Vertical sync: off
3. Quality effect: Exterme

The "Singularity Ashes" is currently one of the few DirectX 12 games and is often used to test DirectX 12 cards. Its recommended hardware configuration is the Intel Core i5 processor, 16 GB of memory, and the NVIDIA GTX 970/AMD R9 390 alone. This is a very high hardware configuration requirement. The game comes with the BenchMark program, subject to memory capacity, and can only use Exterme quality in DirectX 12 mode. After the test is completed, we can see that the average number of frames for the cruising Master is 28.9 frames.

● Watching the Pioneer

"Overwatch" (OW) is a first-person shooter game developed by Blizzard Entertainment, which was launched on May 24, 2016. Netease is the agent of mainland China. The game is based on the future of the Earth and tells about the entanglement of humans, watchful pioneers and intelligent machinery.

This year's sudden popularity of this game is Blizzard's dad's annual masterpiece - "watch pioneer", but also by many players called watch ass, butt Pioneer, after the sale with excellent quality and innovative gameplay quickly attracted a big vote Ass powder. Although it is a partial competitive game, its picture performance is still quite good. Under the ultra-high quality, the effects are fully open, and the number of frames for the Tour Master is basically distributed at 50 to 65 frames. The game experience is relatively good.

● League of Legends

"League of Legends" (abbreviated as lol) is an online game developed by Riot Games in the United States and operated by Tencent Games in mainland China. In addition to real-time strategy and team operations, "League of Legends" also has more than 100 unique heroes, rich maps and gameplay, and an automatic match of battlefield platform, including talent tree, summoner system, rune and other elements. LOL has become one of the most popular and influential online games in the world today.

Many people think that playing "League of Legends" does not require excessive configuration at all. In many cases, it will be able to satisfy the need for a nuclear display. However, if you want to play cool League of Legends game, you need a higher configuration to open higher quality, you also need to record features and other exciting moments. The GTX 1050Ti with 4GB of GDDR5 memory has no problem with any League of Heroes under the picture quality. In the group fight, the Tour Master also has more than 70 frames of performance, which can be said to be very smooth.

Benchmarks: CineBench, 3Dmark, PCMark, AS SSD

These four softwares are our more commonly used test softwares and will not be described in detail. CineBench is a persuasive set of CPU test systems. The new version is more accurate in detecting CPU performance. AS SSD Benchmark is an SSD test software from Germany that can test sequential reading and writing, 4K alignment, 4KB random read and write and response time performance. 3Dmark is the oldest graphics performance test software, PCMark 8 is also the old overall performance benchmarking software. Here we will draw the measured scores into a table for your reference.

High load thermal test

Endurance and heat dissipation are two important criteria that we usually discuss when a notebook is good enough. The life of the game is not a core factor, but having excellent battery life is still a plus. The heat-dissipation ability for a game book is to be taken seriously. The excellent heat-dissipating ability can make the game running more stable, the hardware life is longer, and the game experience of the player is better.

We use the Furmark copying software to test the Tour Master. Furmark will run both the CPU and the graphics card of the entire heat-generating unit. After 30 minutes of operation, the temperature will reach a limit, so that everyone can be more intuitive. To see how it heats up during operation, we also used the FLUKE infrared thermal imager to observe temperature rises at each location. (Temperature spans 28°C-50°C: Below the lower temperature limit, black will be displayed; exceeding the upper temperature limit will display white).

From the heat distribution map we have drawn, the front high-temperature area of ​​the fuselage is concentrated in the middle, and the maximum temperature is only 47.9°C. The back high-temperature area basically corresponds to the front, but the temperature is lower, and the maximum temperature is 38.5°C. Under the full operation of i7-7700HQHQ and GTX 1050Ti two high-performance hardware, this kind of heat dissipation can be achieved and the performance is quite outstanding. And when we use it everyday, the load will not be as high as a copy machine, and the temperature will be much lower.

● PCMark 8 (Home-OpenCL) battery life test

PCMark 8 is a benchmark performance testing software for Windows system. Home testing is one of the testing modes (5 types in total). It mainly simulates the use environment of common users. The testing project covers web browsing and document processing. Pictures, video chats, light load games, etc., and include both OpenCL accelerated and traditional test modes, the software will run cyclically until the battery is exhausted when selecting the battery life test.

Dell Tour Master ~ different sports car wind

Dell Tour Master maintains the shape and design of the Touring series in terms of appearance, but the details are slightly changed. Dell is very harmonious with the sleek and sturdy sports car wind together, the whole looks like a prolate cylinder, very sleek, and the whole end of the sharp cut reveals hard gas. The imitation and intaglio design below the front of the fuselage makes it quite a sense of style, and the red heat sink at the back of the fuselage echoes with it.

The Dell Tour Master in our hands is a matte black version. We can see the familiar Dell logo on the Dell Tour Master Cover. The top cover of the skin-like coating feels very good, and the handheld is also very good. Comfortable, but more likely to be contaminated with fingerprints, need to pay attention to clean up.

Dell Tour Master uses a 15.6-inch full HD screen with a resolution of 1920×1080, and the display is still relatively good. And the dessert-level GTX 1050Ti will be better at playing games at 1080p resolution, with higher resolutions causing additional load on the graphics card and reducing the fluency of the game.

Dell Tour Master in the thickness of the fuselage in excess of one dollar coin diameter (25mm), and in terms of weight, Dell Tour master bare metal weight 2.743kg, travel weight is 3.270kg, after all, is a 15.6-inch mainstream game , can not over-emphasize the thickness and weight, if you focus on reducing weight and thickness, will greatly affect the cooling and overall performance, this law-abiding portable experience is still good.

Dell Tour Master: Black + Red Backlit Keyboard Optional

Dell Tour Master's C-side is also a combination of classic black and red, the entire C-side only has a power switch button in the upper right corner, the rest of the position is no longer set any shortcut buttons, the whole machine and 14-inch recreation 7000 Almost, but with the addition of numeric keys, the layout is slightly adjusted. The C-face area of ​​the Dell Tour Master has been sandblasted to create a better feel.

The keyboard of Dell Tour Master has adopted the mainstream chocolate design. The keyboard feels mainly in terms of personal experience, so it is recommended that you experience it personally. According to Xiaobian's own experience, the keystrokes of this notebook are slightly shorter, but they are full of resilience. The red keyboard backlight also positions the Buddha and the game book. Its integrated touchpad greatly enhances the face value of the C surface.

Dell Tour Master in the interface settings is not rich, in the left side of the fuselage we can see the security keyhole, power jack, USB3.0 and SD card slot, in the right side of the fuselage we can see RJ45 HDMI, USB3.0x2 and headphone microphone combo interface, for gamers, these settings are enough for daily use.
