Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Just last year, Aurora Pro, a new laptop of the mechanical revolution, was born. At the price of 5000-6000 yuan, you can experience the full power consumption RTX 4060 and excellent e-sports screen, which makes a number of cost-effective brands immediately overshadowed. And just this year, the RTX 40 series notebook replacement, the mechanical revolution also came with a new Aurora Pro with a fully upgraded configuration.

The version in our hand is i7- 12650H + RTX 4060 + 2.5K 165Hz +16G +512G version, the initial price is only 6488 yuan, the cost performance is simply incredible. In this article, we'll take a closer look at how it performs.

The Aurora Pro is a standard 15.6-inch 16:9 game book with a circumference of 360.2mm; a width of 243.5mm; and a height of 24mm. From the perspective of the measurements alone, it is not small, but the weight is only 2.1KG, which is the same weight as some all-rounder books. Coupled with the small size of the power adapter, portability is still good.

Aurora Pro still continues the simple and capable metal style of the mechanical revolution, with the intaglio Logo in the middle, and the overall design feeling online.

Open the B side, it is a 2.5K 165Hz IPS esports screen, the measured color coverage reaches 99.5% sRGB, the color gamut volume is 110% sRGB, and the brightness is about 250nit. It is a high-color gamut esports screen with acceptable appearance. It is really rare to be able to brush high color gamut with high scores at this price.

It is worth mentioning that this screen actually provides a color correction file, which can be used in the control center to make the color more accurate.

After opening the color correction file, the average color shift value is only 0.67, and the maximum color shift value is only 1.47. The color is very accurate and almost meets the professional level requirements. This is a great value for money game.

The C side is an RGB backlit keyboard, the keys are very reasonable, the arrow keys and keypad are taken care of, and the lights can be customized through the control software. Below the keyboard is a touch pad, medium size, made of plastic.

The whole machine has 1 USB2.0+2 USB3.2 (Gen 1) interfaces, 1 USB Type C (USB3.2Gen 2), 1 HDMI 2.1 interface, 1 mini DP interface, a set of 3.5mm audio interfaces, DC power interface and Gigabit Ethernet port, in addition to an SD card reader, this interface configuration is quite rich. Type-C interface, HDMI and miniDP interface can be used for video output, so even 3 screens can be formed to achieve 4 screen expansion.

Hardware analysis cost performance comes from the reasonable configuration, for example, we have this version of the mechanical revolution Aurora Pro CPU selection is i7- 12650H, is a single-core performance of the CPU, while controlling the cost, will not affect the number of game frames. Intel Core i7- 12650H is a 10-core 16-thread processor, using Alder Lake H core architecture, Intel7 production process, 2.30 GHz main core frequency, single-core frequency up to 4.70 GHz, 24MB L3 cache. The nuclear display of Xe with 64 EU is included. It is a powerful single-core processor suitable for gamers.

The GPU is the new Geforce RTX 4060 laptop GPU, and this Aurora Pro directly gives the peak power consumption to 140W full power consumption. It has a 3072 CUDA core, GPU frequency up to 2370MHz, equipped with 128 bits wide 8GB 128bit GDDR6 memory, and supports the new DLSS3 technology, which can realize AI frame insertion and bring a smoother gaming experience.

So, Aurora Pro mold belt can not move this generation of comprehensive upgrade configuration? Let's take it apart and see. As can be seen from the figure below, Aurora Pro uses a five-heat pipe dual-fan heat dissipation module, and the memory part has a separate heat pipe for heat conduction, so the heat dissipation coverage is quite complete.

Below the cooling module is the memory slot, the factory comes with 2 DDR4 3200MHz 8G memory, capacity 16G, brand from Yingruida, now DDR4 memory is cabbage price, its own expansion into double 16G is also very cheap.

The hard disk that comes with it is Intel 670P hard disk, which is a PCIe3.0*4 mid-end hard disk, and the particles are QLC particles. It is worth mentioning that Aurora Pro reserves an additional M.2 disk slot, both of which support PCIe 4.0*4 ultra-high speed, and can be expanded if you are not satisfied with the speed and capacity.

The battery is relatively small, only 46Wh, as a game positioning notebook, should also play a UPS role, will not take a long time out of office.

How about the performance release of Aurora Pro's cooling system? We then use AIDA64 to bake the FPU. After 15 minutes, the CPU temperature stabilizes at 93℃. At this time, the CPU power consumption reaches about 82W. This performance release is still very good, and most of the performance of i7- 12650H can be released.

Then we used FurMark doughnuts to single-bake the GPU, and after 15 minutes, the core temperature stabilized at 77.6 ° C, and the power consumption stabilized at 140W full power consumption, which is definitely more than enough for RTX 4060 laptop GPU.

Then we run both software simultaneously, simulating maximum pressure, and run a 15-minute double bake. After 15 minutes, CPU is stable at 43W, 91℃, GPU is stable at 140W, 83.7℃, graphics card can maintain full power consumption, CPU also runs at about 45W standard power consumption, the performance of the whole machine is released about 185W, which is quite radical.

RTX 4060 Laptop GPU can fully release the performance, 3DMark TimeSpy GPU theoretical score reached 11014 points, compared with the previous generation RTX 3070Ti Laptop GPU is almost the same, but the actual game power consumption is much lower. This generation RTX 4060 upgrade is indeed not small.

In R20, which represents the theoretical performance of CPU, it obtained 685 points for single thread and 6009 points for multithread. In R23, it reached 1790 points for single core and 15605 points for multi-core, basically the single-core performance of i7 and the multi-core performance of i5. It was indeed a very suitable processor for online games.

Intel 670P QLC hard disk, performance is satisfactory, performance requirements can be self-expanding PCIE 4.0 high-performance hard disk.

Memory is standard 3200MHz DDR4 notebook memory, running points also meet the normal performance of dual-channel DDR4 notebook memory.

We also conducted a CrossMark test representing overall performance, and the measured score reached 1849 points, which is enough for smooth office and moderate creative production.

As can be seen from the above, the theoretical performance improvement of the Mechanical Revolution Aurora Pro is quite significant. It is worth mentioning that Aurora Pro also supports independent direct connection function, which can be manually switched in the control center of mechanical revolution to further increase the number of frames of e-sports games, so we will open all the following games to 2.5K resolution + highest quality + independent output mode for testing, DLSS is open to balance DLSS. If DLSS3 is present, the number of frames switched DLSS3 will be tested separately.

The first is the esports game, we selected CS:GO, Jedi Survival, Eternal Disaster and three mainstream esports games for testing. In CS:GO, running BenchMark can reach an average of 347 frames, which can run all over the screen.

"Jedi Survival" here, measured in the highest quality can run to an average of 120 frames, can meet the highest quality high-frame play. If you want to play with 165 frames running full of e-sports screens, consider adjusting to the commonly used "three-extreme" picture quality.

In the domestic martial arts chicken eating game "eternal disaster," the highest quality + balance DLSS can reach an average of 114 frames, the game experience is also very smooth.

In APEX Legend, the average number of frames can reach 142 frames, which can also basically meet the needs of 144Hz esports screen. If NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency is turned on in the settings, the shooting delay can be further reduced.

From our test above, most of the esports games can meet the 2.5K high frame play, and the picture quality is also the highest quality, it seems that the 12 generation Core i7 + RTX 4060 laptop GPU is really strong. Next we'll test some mainstream 3A games. In Tomb Raider: Shadow, under the highest special effects of 2.5K, the number of frames is up to 98 frames, so it is not a problem to play.

In the 3A masterpiece of "Wild Escort 2: Redemption," Aurora Pro also showed good results, 2.5K + balance DLSS highest quality can also run to an average of 83 frames, the play experience is very smooth.

Thanks to the improvement of light chasing performance, RTX 4060 notebook GPU can also easily play light chasing masterpiece. For example, in Control, even if the highest quality and highest light tracking are turned on, it can reach an average of 75 frames.

In the new work "Atomic Heart" with explosive image quality, it can reach an average of 91 frames in complex scenes after turning on the highest image quality light chase. RTX 40 series GPUs are really powerful

More and more games are now offering DLSS 3 technology support. The so-called DLSS3 is an AI-powered performance multiplier technology powered by the new 4th Generation Tensor Core and new Optical Flow Accelerator, the latest version of NVIDIA's acclaimed Deep Learning Supersampling technology, and features groundbreaking optical multiframe generation that will usher in a new era of NVIDIA RTX neural network rendering games and applications.‏

Simply put, DLSS2 in the past was to render a low-resolution image and then AI zoomed in to high resolution to improve image quality and frame number. On the basis of compatibility with DLSS2, the brand-new DLSS3 also adds a frame generation function, which can insert a brand-new frame calculated by AI between two real frames to realize the multiplication of frames. Combined with DLSS2's super-resolution feature, AI can reconstruct up to 7/8 of the display pixels, and game performance can be improved by up to 4 times compared to no DLSS!‏

Let's take a look at the most stressed By default, the average frame is only 22 frames, which cannot be played smoothly. Even after DLSS2 is turned on, the average frame can reach 48 frames, which can basically be played smoothly. In the case of DLSS 3 option fully open, the number of frames can be increased by more than 3 times, and the average frame can be increased to about 71 frames to meet the requirements of 2.5K. It seems that DLSS3 technology is indeed outstanding.‏

Legend 3A masterpiece "Witcher 3" has also recently updated the next generation version, the configuration requirements have been greatly improved, but also provides DLSS3 technology support, which is undoubtedly good news for RTX 40 series laptops.‏

From the frame test, DLSS even averages only 23 frames. In DLSS 2, the average frame is only 37 frames, which cannot be played smoothly. But if DLSS3 is turned on, it can reach an average of more than 60 frames. In most situations, it can meet the needs of smooth play.‏

In another next generation 3A masterpiece with explosive quality, Legend of Plague: Requiem, we also need DLSS3 technology to achieve high frame smooth play.‏

The optimization of Plague Legend: Requiem is still very good, even if DLSS is not turned on, it can also be more than 50 frames. After DLSS 2 was turned on, the number of frames reached an average of 91 frames, and it was already possible to play smoothly. If DLSS 3 balance is turned on, the number of frames is doubled directly, reaching an average of 103 frames, and the image quality is not much degraded, so the play experience is excellent.‏

The results of the summary test are obvious, the new mechanical revolution Aurora Pro can still be competent for most 3A masterpieces, with the support of DLSS technology, even 2.5K light chase is not a problem. And in mainstream online games, it can achieve high frame play. And its body volume weight control is also good, in the game is relatively portable, which makes it especially suitable for students and young people.

Of course, the most dazzling thing is its price, only 5988 can experience RTX 4050, only 6488 can experience RTX 4060. Such a high cost performance is a dimension reduction blow to the entire RTX 40 series new product market. At present, the mechanical revolution Aurora Pro has been opened for reservation, the original price is absolutely not lost, interested words do not miss.
