Benchmarks: Gaming
Of course, it's in the graphics department that the P35X v6 stands head and shoulders above last year's v5. Switching from the GeForce GTX 980M to GTX 1070 results in a 3DMark Fire Strike performance increase of almost 50 per cent.
We've been able to run all the other relevant 3DMark tests and the Gigabyte P35X v6 shows decent consistency with a Time Spy Stress Test score of 97.5 per cent.
Real-world performance in modern titles is excellent at FHD and QHD resolutions, even with quality settings dialled-up to maximum. The laptop makes a reasonable fist of things at the native 4K, but we come away feeling as though a FHD or QHD display with G-Sync would be a better fit.
