Pascal ROG Strix GL502/GL702 Thread

Hello all,

Nvidia just dropped the veil on their new Pascal mobile GPUs, and Asus showed their new GLx02 line.

From what I can tell, we can expect both GTX 1060 and GTX 1070, as well as 75Hz GSYNC on select models

More info, pictures and official spec to come.

Compared to competitors equipped with the GeForce GTX 980M, the new GL502VS can manage huge leads of around 75 percent in both 3DMarks. The modern and great looking Rise of the Tomb Raider (Very High) runs 61 percent, and Doom (Ultra) even 123 percent faster. There is currently no new game that would not run completely smooth on the Strix with the highest settings and activated picture improvements like anti-aliasing and ambient occlusion (SSAO, HBAO+). The MSI notebook, which is also equipped with the GTX 1070, is a bit slower in some of the games we tested so far. One thing we do not want to hide, however, is the subjectively pretty loud system noise while gaming.

The bright and high-contrast screen is mostly convincing. The system performance can convince us completely, both in the benchmarks as well as subjectively.

There are no big changes in respect to the case and the input devices, so we recommend the reviews of the two predecessors for more information on these topics right now. The subjective initial impression was good, even though the plastic chassis, which appears to be pretty light, did create some creaking sounds when we tried to twist it. Asus definitely deserves praise for the comprehensive port selection."
