5 – Graphics Benchmarks

ASUS N550JK comes with NVIDIA R332.35 graphics driver installed. It’s not the latest branch (R340.xx) but it support OpenGL 4.4 and is perfect for all tests I did.

The testbed I used for discrete GPUs (GTX 780, GTX 7540 or HD 7970) is based on a GIGABYTE G.SNIPER M5 motherboard + Intel Core i5 4670K @ 3.4GHz + 16GB of DDR3 @ 1600MHz.

    I got that laptop a month ago and it is really great choice for the money it costs. To be more precise, I’ve got N550JK-CN019D. This particular model has 1T HDD with 7200 RPM, GTX850M with 2GB DDR3 and super-multi DVD (classical DVD RW, not a Blue-ray reader). I agree that DDR5 would be appreciated for the graphics card (this is not a gaming laptop). Also, the multi-touch pad don’t reacts on each tap, but maybe it can be fixed by some driver/patch. All in all, a very nice and cool (literally meaning – cold as metal) laptop. 🙂
