[PConline stand-alone evaluation] In the field of game hardware, is the game promoting hardware advancement or is hardware advancement driving game development? Everyone has their own answer, but judging from the current situation, the emergence of a new generation of graphics cards/processors will promote the progress of the game, and most of the games will have no effect on the current high-end computers under the full special effects. With enough pressure, we need more advanced game technology to achieve a more beautiful picture for us. Of course, this means that we can enjoy most of the current games in the mid-to-high end configuration. The Raytheon ST Plus we tested today is such a cost-effective computer.

What kind of gaming experience can the seven-generation Core+GTX 1050Ti have?Raytheon ST Plus is a mid-to-high-end gaming book that uses the latest hardware. Its biggest highlight is the adoption of a new seven-generation Core processor, the Core i7-7700HQ. Although the Seven-Generation Core Duo has already been released, the high-end series in the Seven-Generation Core Duo has just been released. ST Plus is also one of the first notebooks on the market to use the high-end Seven-Generation Core Duo. Although the seven-generation Core Duo saw little change from the paper, the framework has undergone in-depth optimization. And although it is using 14nm technology, but Intel gave this generation of technology the title of 14nm +, so that the seventh generation Core has a better power control, Core i7-7700HQ frequency than the 6700HQ to mention 200MHz, higher performance, but the power consumption changes Not great.
ST Plus also uses the video card's upstart, the nVidia Geforce GTX 1050Ti, which is manufactured on TSMC's 16nm process. The core codename is GP107, which has 768 stream processors and uses 4GB of GDDR5 memory, compared to desktop-class ones. GTX 1050Ti is not too much to let. Then look at the following table, which lists the specific configuration of ST Plus.
Using the latest Core i7-7700HQ and GTX 1050Ti what kind of performance it will be, we directly into the actual experience of the game link!
â— GTA 5

Before reading the article, there was a saying that a lot of game companies were affected by the GTA5 in the sand box game, but they did not know that the game was not a sandbox game, but it was only GTA5. So this is really a game worth playing, but if you want to get a relatively good gaming experience with full effects, the video card should start on the GTX 980. In order to test the objectivity of the data, here I chose to bring its own BenchMark test scenario. In terms of the number of frames, the number of ST Plus frames in a certain period of time is stable at 60 frames or more, and it is maintained at more than 50 frames in some scenarios with high loads. The playability is still good.
â— "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.

As the first game of DirectX 12, "Singularity" was used by many media to test the performance of 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. However, when we set the display effect to Crazy in DirectX 12 mode, the GTX 1050Ti still can't cope, and the game starts Flashback. So we downgraded to Extreme mode, you can see that for a period of time, the average number of frames of the ST Plus is 28.3 frames. Want to play this DirectX 12 masterpiece, still need to lower the picture quality.
â— 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.

Blizzard's annual brilliant game, dubbed as the annual game, is not excessive. It received a high degree of attention before it was released, and immediately sparked a global wave of watchmen after being sold. It was kindly called the Pioneer Pioneer by players. There is a good chance of becoming the next phenomenal e-sports game. Although it is a partial competitive game, its picture performance is still quite good. Under the ultra-high image quality, the effects are fully open, and most of ST Plus's frames have been maintained at more than 40 frames, averaging at around 52 frames. If you are pursuing a perfect experience of more than 60 frames, you can lower the special effects appropriately.
â— 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.

Most game titles are not too stressful to run the League of Legends game. Even if you open the hero moment recording, it will not affect the overall performance. But considering the huge number of gamers, I chose to add it to the game test here. It may be that for some large stand-alone games, 30 or more frames can run smoothly, but if League of Legends is lower than 60 frames, you will be stuck in the basic team battle. The performance of the ST Plus average of 92 frames can be said to be very smooth.
In terms of the actual game performance of Raytheon ST Plus above, we are basically satisfied with it. It can play most of the games under the full effect, but for several great hardware masterpieces, slightly lower the special effects can also play So cool, next we will systematically talk about the ST Plus design. Users who do not care about appearance can directly jump to the fourth page to see the benchmark test, endurance and heat dissipation.
ST Plus can be said to be an inherited game book. When we first saw it, we could feel it was Raytheon's work. Raytheon has planted a deep brand impression on us since the 911 series. It uses sharp line cuts and rough game designs. This time in the ST Plus it is still a lot of use of this technique, the top of the cutting line with a very metallic sense.
For color matching, ST Plus uses a combination of orange and metal ash, the main body is a metal gray color, only used in the top cover lighting orange. The effect of metal ash is really impressive, and with some cutting lines, it is extremely resistant. Raytheon's logo and inscription processing is also quite low-key, texture and not obtrusive. After the boot, the top cover logo lighting will only light. The red, orange lighting that intersects with wilderness is even younger. And in the game market, red lighting is too common, and orange has more features and selling points.
In the overall design of ST Plus is a relatively low-key game, the appearance of elegant, but the inner heaven and earth. The C surface adopts a sky surface engraving process, using 16 million color RGB backlight keyboard, each press the base button can be a separate light, you can use the software to control the keyboard lighting effects, and use Fn key with the number keys on the function keys can achieve fast switch /Dimming. In the actual game, although playing lights does not enhance the combat effectiveness of the players, the cool index will increase exponentially, so we look at the following.
First, let's take a look at the weight and thickness of our ST Plus. In fact, the over-discussion of the portable game of the game is not of great significance. Even if you have an extremely portable game book, it will be even thicker than traditional thin and light, and the endurance will be far less than the low-performance, low-power, lightweight notebook. Moreover, the design of the game book is often more wild and the noise is also relatively large, and it is not very suitable for being brought to public places. Of course, there are some low probability scenes such as going out of the game, so we still have to look at the portability of the ST Plus. The thickness of the ST Plus is about 27.1mm, the whole weight is 2.280kg, and the brigade weight is 2.831kg. Generally speaking, the 15.6-inch game book is also relatively thin.
In the screen we are more concerned about, ST Plus uses a 15.6-inch full HD screen with a resolution of 1920×1080. This resolution we have previously said is the best resolution of the current high-end game, Windows compatibility of this resolution is the best, and GTX 1050Ti is not the top graphics card, the pressure to deal with ultra-high resolution games will be Big, 1080p is just right.
The ST Plus has a sharp cut on the C side and the A side, and the right quadrant shaped power button design on the right side also has a corresponding graphic engraving. And the keyboard is stuck in the whole, feel more comfortable. 16 million color RGB backlight keyboard is still relatively attractive, moderate key process, feedback is soft, more labor-saving. The touchpad is a split two-button touchpad that is not easily touched.
The interface of ST Plus is exceptionally rich, and it does not have any interfaces at the front and rear, but all are set on the left and right sides. The interface on the left side is the power interface, RJ45 network cable interface, and two miniDP interfaces in order from top to bottom. Standard HDMI interface, one USB Type-C interface, one USB 3.0 interface, multi-purpose card reader. The right side from the top to the bottom is a USB 3.0, a USB 2.0, microphone interface, headphone jack, to meet the needs of most users.
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.
Endurance and heat dissipation are two important criteria that we usually discuss when a notebook is good enough. The relative life of the game is not a core factor, but having excellent battery life is still a plus. However, the strength of heat dissipation is extremely important, and the impact on game titles cannot be ignored. In addition to affecting the actual game experience of the player, the performance of the machine itself is more or less controlled. ST Plus uses a new 14nm+ process i7-7700HQ, with a practical GTX 1050Ti, I believe there will be a good performance, it is worth noting that the Raytheon ST Plus tail only on the right side of the outlet, the left is only decorative.
We use the Furmark copying machine software to test the ST Plus. Furmark will run the two large heat-generating components, the CPU and the graphics card. After 30 minutes of operation, the temperature will reach a limit height, so that everyone can see it more intuitively. We also used the FLUKE infrared thermal imager to observe the temperature rise of 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 centered on the right side of the center, where the processor/graphics card is located. The maximum temperature is 58.6°C; the high temperature on the back is the outlet, and the maximum temperature is 58.9°C. . This cooling result is obtained when the graphics card/processor reaches the maximum load. The daily game does not continue to run at the highest load, so the daily game temperature will be lower.
Raytheon ST Plus uses a removable battery design with a battery capacity of 60Wh. Due to its 7-generation Core Duo processor built on the 14nm+ process, the power consumption will be more optimized. The GTX 1050Ti is not a performance monster and naturally has no terrible power consumption.
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 chat, light load games, etc., and include both OpenCL accelerated and traditional test modes. Under the condition of 100% screen brightness and the ability to turn on the backlight keyboard + other lighting effects, PCMark 8 gives a test result of 2h20min, which also means that in the absence of an external power supply only powered by the battery, it can still guarantee that you can have More than 2 hours of game time is good overall.
â— Hardware configuration parameters
Here we integrate all the information together for easy viewing. In terms of hardware configuration, Raytheon ST Plus is equipped with the latest Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor, which is equipped with 8GB DDR4 2400 memory and 256GB SSD solid state drive. The most concerned about the graphics part, it is equipped with the choice of mainstream players - - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti with 4GB GDDR5 memory. The ST plus uses the GTX 1050Ti graphics card and the flagship game was nowhere, targeting the majority of mainstream players.
From the test, we can see that ST Plus can play most of the mainstream games under high picture quality, and in the face of some hardware killers can also get a smoother experience by lowering the picture quality, the overall game The experience is still very much in line with its positioning.
Written in the last words
As an impulse rather than performance benchmark product, ST Plus does not have gorgeous hardware parameters, it only has a very practical hardware configuration, to ensure that most of the mainstream games can have a more excellent picture experience. Its ultimate goal is to provide users with a cost-effective choice, and its use of the latest Core i7-7700HQ and GTX 1050Ti in this notebook, can be described as full of sincerity.
