Hehe - it could have come with pics.

@holty - perhaps remove the name of the laptop, and you'll be fine.

Easily done - and nice spec, should annihilate any game you throw at it.

Hi aoaaron the screen is really nice games are playing really smooth and the colours are great.

MiSJAH · 16 May 2019 at 13:19

Benchmarks?

3DMark Firestrike, etc....

Is it a Clevo or a Tong Fang?

holty · 16 May 2019 at 13:29

I'll benchmark it now is Firestrike a good one to use, sorry for the daft questions but I'm new to gaming. Well I'm back to gaming now I'm a bit rusty about what to use.

holty · 16 May 2019 at 13:42

just benchmarked using Firestrike and got a score of 15819 is that any good?

That's not a bad score.

On par with a GTX 1070 and I7-6820HK (https://www.3dmark.com/fs/14356419).

I'm sure your machine can do more

So its not to bad for a laptop then, Rage 2 looks amazing which I'm happy with.

The 1070 result was from a laptop. It doesn't seem good in comparison.

What do you think the problem is with my score then? apart from it being low.

Sorry for sounding daft but how do you post pictures on here?

Use IMGUR.

Upload the image there and then copy BB Code for forums. And then copy that into the media icon box (looks like 'movie/photo negatives' at the top, middle right, of the posting/text box.)
