Asus ROG G750 for rendering

[ghazisuliman]

Hello Guys ,

 

I am searching for a good laptop for rendering and 3dsmax work, I found ocer web this model from ASUS brand ,

 

ASUS ROG G750JZ-DS71 17.3-inch Gaming Laptop, GeForce GTX 880M Graphics

Intel Core i7-4700HQ 2.4Ghz (Turbo 3.4 GHz)

24 GB DDR3

1 TB 7200 rpm Hard Drive, 256 GB Solid-State Drive

17.3-inch screen, GeForce GTX 880M 4GB

 

I need your advice especially for the GTX 880M is it good to navigate easily inside view ports in heavy scenes .

 

Thanks in advance

This is a gaming-oriented laptop (ROG=Republic of Gamers). It has excellent performance in almost everything, but keep in mind that it might run hot and noisy under full load http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-800m-graphics-performance,3800-9.html. The GeForce GTX880M is the top Mobile GPU of Nvidia at the moment. It is an oc'ed GTX780M (with Kepler GK104 graphics processor) and the fastest commercial mobile gpu your money could buy today. Processor's performance is great for a laptop cpu too.

 

Keep in mind, though, that gaming laptops have TN panels in order to keep response times low. That doesn't mean, of course, that this particular laptop has a low quality screen. It would be good if you could take a closer look at the screen before you buy it. It might suit you well.

Does it have to be a laptop - how much is this one going to cost you? Processor is weak to be honest. Seeing as you could easily go for a hex-core tower for the price of a semi decent workstation laptop, you better have a bloody good reason to want a mobile workstation!

Thanks for your reply ,

 

In fact I always travel so i need my work to stay with me and to be able to do my work in any place not only in office or home ,

 

By the way I can pay till 2500$ for this laptop .

 

By the way do think this Asus not that good regarding it is price ? I searched alot over the internet and found this model most trust able and strong for rendering and heavy scenes .

Just for a reference, I was looking at these "gaming" laptopt from pcspecialist when I wanted a mobile workstation - the price of this is roughly £2,200. For the same price you could build a tower with a watercooled intel 8 core 5960x cpu and 780ti.

 

 

Chassis & Display

Omega: 17.3" Matte Full HD LED Widescreen (1920x1080)

 

Processor (CPU)

Intel® Core™i7 Six Core Processor i7-4930K (3.4GHz) 12MB Cache

 

Memory (RAM)

32GB KINGSTON SODIMM DDR3 1600MHz (4 x 8GB)

 

Graphics Card

2 x AMD® Radeon® R9 M290X - 4GB DDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 11

 

Memory - Hard Disk

120GB KINGSTON HYPERX 3K SSD, SATA 6 Gb/s (upto 555MB/sR | 510MB/sW)

 

2nd Hard Disk

1TB SERIAL ATA II 2.5" HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (5,400rpm)

 

I think these even man have IPS panels fitted - I'm not totally sure. If you're rendering for print you will absolutely need to do all your proofing and colour correcting on a calibrated IPS panel! TN panel suck for colour repro.

I would wait for this http://www.asus.com/us/site/g-series/G751/. It will be equiped with the new gtx970M/980M NVidia mobile gpus. The new gpus are expected to be a lot faster than the previous models, with much less power consumption and noise levels. Be patient.

As ppl said already, this is a very potent laptop. You won't really find something much more powerful (in a meaningful way) before you start pushing your budget way above the G750's range, opting for a custom built Clevo or a GoBoxx mobile workstation.

 

 

I would agree with most of the posts above, outside the comment about it being loud & running hot.

Relatively with its competition, the G750 is exactly the opposite from that.

 

 

This laptop is very big and has above average weight. That's its main downside, as otherwise it is great value for money.

It is also plastic, a downside for "pro-feel", if your understanding and expectation of "pro" is something like the rMBP - that of course is a great machine outside the GPU area where it seriously lacks.

 

 

Unlike the rMBP and other "thin" powerful laptops tho, this plastic machine is made to be very silent, and run much cooler to the touch / lap, despite containing a GPU that @ full throttle produces alone more heat than the whole rMBP does. You cannot cool 100W components like this GPU in metal enclosed 1/2" thick laptops - period. This thing is thick for a reason = contains big enough heatsinks and fans to efficiently do the job without with less noise vs. most machines in the market, while packing potentially 2x the performance in the GPU department.

I have had a rog laptop for rendering and it worked pretty well, although it was the previous version. I wouldn't count on doing many hires final renders though, even this one isn't that fast.

 

and yes, it is made of plastic but it does look intimidating compared to the macbook for example when you whip it out at a meeting, I have had a few clients 'admiring' the serious looking laptop

That sounds odd.. I can understand it looking more "work" than "biz" but I wouldn't be caught dead with it in business meeting.

 

But as others said, the issue with gaming laptops is not performance (it's superb) but the TN displays, which are always quite poor (I have the top MSI you can buy, have held Razer,ROG,all the same) in colors accuracy, overall contrast, angles are getting better so that's not the worst but still and mostly cheap matte folie which makes it appear "dirty" on continous surfaces in renders (like white walls), the same issue what older (sub 2013 circa?) Dell displays had.

As long as it's not your 'only' machine where you'll also be doing critical post-production it's good choice.

You can notice that the screen is IPS and the Nvidia is GTX980M , with fair price 2500$.

 

I will go for it thanks for your advice , and i will share with you my comments about this product .
