We suspect that the significant bump in single-thread CPU performance over the Ryzen 9 5900HX is responsible for the much faster frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios while the faster DDR5-4800 RAM of the 2022 model can contribute more than the slower DDR4-3200 RAM in the older 2021 model when gaming at higher resolutions. Cyberpunk 2077 is an excellent example where this would occur. Games on the 2022 model can run up to 30 to 40 percent faster if on lower graphical settings while higher settings at the native 1440p resolution will see much smaller advantages of under 10 percent. The performance jump from the GeForce RTX 3070 in the 2021 Blade 14 to the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti in our 2022 model is minor-to-moderate depending on the game and resolution setting. Since there are so few 14-inch gaming laptops, however, we'll also be comparing the Blade 14 with more traditionally-sized 15.6-inch or larger models as well like the MSI Stealth GS66 or Lenovo Legion C7. The direct competitor to the Blade 14 is the Asus Zephyrus G14 series.
Our unit in review is the middle option with the RTX 3070 Ti and 165 Hz QHD display for about $2700 retail. All SKUs otherwise ship with the same Ryzen 9 6900HX CPU, 100 W TGP target, 16 GB of DDR5-4800 soldered RAM, and 1 TB PCIe4 x4 NVMe SSD.
Anime studio debut 9 review update#
Its AMD Zen 3 Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU and GeForce RTX 3070/3080 graphics are no slouch in the laptop gaming space, but this year's update ups the ante even further with the newer Zen 3+ Ryzen 6900HX CPU, faster RAM, and both GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and 3080 Ti graphics options.Ĭonfigurations start at $2000 USD with the GeForce RTX 3060 and 144 Hz FHD display up to $3500 USD with the RTX 3080 Ti and 165 Hz QHD display.
Now almost a year old, the 2021 Blade 14 could be released today and it would still top most if not all 14-inch laptops currently available.
