Battery life

There’s a benchmark for everything these days, and that also applies to the battery life of a notebook.

You can surf for just under four hours with the Corsair Voyager, run a few office applications and conduct virtual meetings. I think that is also completely sufficient. If you run more complex tasks – like rendering etc. – without access to a power socket via CPU or GPU, you will quickly force the battery to surrender unconditionally. However, all laptops fail in the end, one earlier and the other only minutes later.

SSD performance

Let’s start with the typical CrystalDiskMark:

1 GB

8 GB

32 GB

64 GB

Let’s continue with the SSD benchmark from 3DMark:

And last, the AJA test:

AJA Disk Read

AJA Disk Write

Here is still the log:

From my perspective, the Samsung 2TB SSD installed is one that is in the upper mid-range. It delivers solidly!

CPU performance

The 6th generation AMD Ryzen CPU can basically keep up with a Ryzen 7 5800X. The Ryzen 9 6900HS can allow itself up to 130 watts (see HWinfo), although the CPU is specified at 35 watts. This has an impact on the temperatures, which we will see later.

Cinebench R32

3DMark CPU test

If you want, you can also compare these results with the MSI Raider laptop I tested last year.

GPU performance

To get a first impression of the gaming performance, let’s take a look at the synthetic benchmarks. We’ll start with 3DMark Firestrike, TimeSpy and Port Royal.

FireStrike

TimeSpy

Port Royal

Next, the in-game benchmarks from the games Cyberpunk and CoD MW2 with and without FSR support:

CoD MW2 native

CoD MW2 FSR Quality

CoD MW2 FSR Performance

Cyberpunk native

Cyberpunk FSR Quality

Cyberpunk FSR Performance

On the next page I have some more details and games for you regarding the gaming performance of the Corsair Voyager.
