Gaming Benchmarks
In our first test, we tested the G750J on a DirectX 11 game. It seemed disappointing for a start as the average FPS was calculated to be 29FPS, one frame lower that what we expected for a good gameplay experience. Do note that all settings were maxed out with the highest possible Direct X 11 features. Of course, there are many ways we still can increase the framerates, but the first test did not meet our expectations.
Results – Not up to standard (0/1)
Moving on to a Direct X 10 game, Far Cry 2 Benchmark tool reported an average framerate of 70.06. This framerate should be more than acceptable to all gamers out there as it surpasses the 60FPS mark.
It seems that most Direct X 11 games were taxing on the G750J. Despite that, in the Lost Planet 2 benchmark, it still managed to score an average FPS of 35.4, adding LP2 as one of the games that can be played without lag on the list.
Resident Evil 5 game benchmark also ran smoothly, at a FPS of 82.8, giving the system an ‘A’ grade.
Results – Smooth (3/4)
Similarly for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, graphics were extremely smooth and highly playable.
Moving on to a less taxing Direct X 9 game, Street Fighter IV reported a whooping average 126.74FPS.
The last game we’ve got prepared is The Last Remnant which reported an Average FPS of 115.93.
Results – Smooth (6/7)
After testing the ASUS G750J with all the different types of games, we decided to put it to Futuremark’s 3DMark 11 Performance test. According to the test results, the ASUS G750J performed much better than most gaming laptops out in the market with a great score of P5180 (Performance Preset). Most gaming laptops had only an average of P4685. In this comparison, it truly showed the true prowess of the Intel Core i7 4700HQ top of the line Intel quad core CPU which is paired with NVIDIA GTX 770M.
Conclusion
There are many laptops out in the market that brand themselves as a “Gaming” laptop without the CPU and GPU computational strengths. Those laptops are able to play games, but they will never be able to play games at the highest settings or the smoothest framerates. We were glad that this Republic of Gamers laptop has indeed upheld its name, and was able to play all almost all the games quite smoothly in our games benchmark, making it a truly gaming machine for the ones who seek ultimate performance and portability.
Other than performance, we definitely have to say that the ASUS ROG G750J looks simply stunning. Its spaceship like futuristic design will capture the attention of many after a glance at it. Additionally, the backlit keyboard adds an additional finishing touch to make the whole system classy and perfect for gamers.
Even though the system only uses a 750GB conventional hard drive, the whole operating system still ran smooth. This was much thanks to the reduced number of crapware which is installed on the G750J. Also, gamers can also add an additional SSD into the system to improve loading times. As there are 2 hard drive bays available in the unit, storage expansion is simplified.
In conclusion, the ASUS ROG G750J Gaming Laptop will definitely meet a gamer’s requirements of a powerful machine. It even looks so sexy that you just want to bring it out to show it off to others.
