Hey guys Chris head back with the Xiaomi mi notebook13 this is the revised
2017 Model with the NVIdia Mx
150 now a lot of people in my first gaming video weren't too happy with the games
I tested they said they were too demanding or I had my settings incorrect or wrong, but I just went with the default settings
Now the graphics I've tried to update the driver here for the nVIdia
Mx 150 without any luck so it's a dated driver that I am using currently to show you in system information
So that isn't exactly the latest there you can see three eight two point zero five is
Dated now, but I can't get it to update at this point in time. I think we need
NvIdia to revise things here anyway
settings to improve performance
What I've done here is now set the preferred graphics processor
To the NVIdia one to force it to always use it and then power management mode which I feel is the most important setting here
To set those two preferred maximum performance the default was optimal power
So I'm back here now with Battlefield one
Just to revisit it same settings as before so it's 720p low settings
And you can see the frame rate is now 60 frames per second. Which is great. So huge performance increase here
Making this game really playable
The laptop is still unfortunately
Scorching hot, but we'll check on those
Temperatures in just a second I'm probably gonna die
Got lucky with a kill just then but now he got me in the end
But a really good improvement here on Battlefield one
720p
So time to revisit rise of the tomb raider. I'm going to use these settings
So same as before at 720p and then on the lower preset
We'll see if it performs any better than it did on my first attempt with the default gPU settings
Alright, so straight away seeing a big improvement here 64 frames per second to start with my first test
This was only around 30 to 40 frames per second
So much better definitely playable this one 720p although. It's dipping down to 42 just then
and
Our benchmark school here for the rise of tomb Raider Benchmark
so a huge improvement there over the benchmark which I did in my unboxing video, so
Fallout 4 tested again this time 1080p and
Still on the low settings, but you can see well it can run it 1080p just fine, but the framerate
dipping down into
Just under 40 frames per second
but I'm
going to say that I think this is going to be safe to say that yet going to keep over 30 the whole time and
Be playable at least
Next up is counter strike global offensive
1080p these are the settings. I'm going to go with so most of them are auto. Just go with what's being recommended
So as it expect it's getting over 100 frames per second
Counter Strike is a very lightweight game. I mean even the apollo x can get around 30 frames per second 1080p
So not too demanding
And yes, I cannot Aim
Or kill anyone it seems
But you get the idea performance is good, but he walked into that one for me only kills I can get well -
and
did and
the last game I will test here is dota 2 so I'm going to use this setting it's 1080p and it's on the
second Tab down from best looking
So as you'd expect with this kind of hardware that yet getting over 60 frames per second well
It's hovering about 60 frames per second near 62
This of course has a bot match here not an online match so online match could actually be a little bit faster here
But it's safe to say that this one is
Going to be very playable of course you've got some leeway there with the settings you could tweak that down if you wanted to
Lower the visual settings, and you're of course in turn increase your frames per second
It looks great on the screen - by the way
Now this one want to requested that is the witcher 3
and
It's not looking probably. I don't know what's going on here, but I can't select to do anything
I don't have time to mess around with settings. Whatever, but it seems to want to run for some reason larger than 1080p
Perhaps, it's because my cloud sync was on my 4K system. So it's trying to run it in 4k
I don't know what's going on. But not cool to sees at this point. I can't get a little maybe to drive a problem
Witcher 3 is not working properly
And I also just check this in here because it has been requested cinebench R15 those are the scores there, so opengl
68 Frames per Second the CPU
309
So in regards to thermals nothing has really changed the gPU is getting up to
75 degrees, and then a cPU hits around 82 it will thermal throttle but my main concern an area of
Disappointment really as they did not improve the thermals or the cooling on this
And it does as a result still get scorching hot to the touch
51 degrees are for about an hour of gaming
You really want to use a laptop cooler with this I feel for those extended gaming periods because it really is just getting
Far too hot very uncomfortable you cannot use this on your lap. It's just going to burn you almost
