In the first part of my review, I took a look at the XMG Ultra 17 barebone inside, the whole thing powered by an Intel Core i9-11900K. assembled and really stressed out. Today we have the missing gaming benchmarks, a few applications and the efficiency review of the GeForce 3080 laptop, which has a (positive) surprise in store. Considering all the upcoming launch dates, I’ve tightened up all the benchmarks a bit in the detailed output and only included the overall performance including efficiency consideration in each case, which is perfectly adequate though.
Part 1 of 2: Schenker XMG Ultra 17 in the test: Lightweight, really fast and still flexible
A total of 10 games in two resolutions, whereby I had to test WQHD with an external monitor, because only one (but very fast) Full HD panel was installed (IPS from AU Optronics B173HAN05.1). For the graphics board, I went all out and went with the GeForce RTX 3080, which is the laptop GPU with a power limit of 150 watts (+15 watts Dynamic Boost), which is significantly faster than the Max-Q design with a much lower TDP (like in the recently reviewed Razer notebook).In addition, as already described in the first part, the Intel Core i9-11900K from my funny Influencer box, which I should not own, but nevertheless use extensively as always.
Schenker installs interchangeable graphics boards, but uses the laptop GPU rather than NVIDIA’s Max-Q design. Thus, one achieves a significantly higher performance, but also has to cool more and better due to the now higher TDP. Exactly that was already the subject of the first part of my test. A total of 7 phases for NVVDD (GPU), 2 for FBVDDQ (memory) and one each for 1.8 Volt and PEXVDD as well as various extra-low voltages round off the electrical implementation.
The following table once again shows the comparison between the three currently available laptop GPUs from Nvidia. If you put cores and clock in proportion, you should come out with approximately the performance of a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti FE. Of course, that’s exactly what I want to check out today.
GeForce | RTX 3060 Laptop | RTX 3070 Laptop | RTX 3080 Laptop |
CUDA Cores | 3840 | 5120 | 6144 |
RT Cores | 30 | 40 | 48 |
Tensor Cores | 120 | 160 | 192 |
Clocks (GHz) | 1.28 to 1.70 | 1.29 to 1.62 | 1.25 to 1.71 |
Memory | 6 GB GDDR6 | 8 GB GDDR6 | 8GB GDDR6 |
Memory bus width | 192-bit | 256-bit | 256-bit |
TGP (max) |
60~115W | 80~125W | 150W (+15 W) |
Prices and sources of supply
Price-wise, of course, it’s no cheapo, this discussion already happened in the first part, but if you want to have it nice, you have to suffer a bit, as always. There are, as always, countless variants (overview), here are the three most expensive (and best built):
Schenker XMG Ultra 17-E21zwy, Core i9-11900K, 32GB RAM, 1.49TB SSD, GeForce RTX 3080, DE (10505817)
Schenker XMG Ultra 17-E21dzc, Core i9-11900K, 32GB RAM, 1.49TB SSD, GeForce RTX 3080, DE (10505815)
Schenker XMG Ultra 17-E21ngw, Core i9-11900K, 32GB RAM, 1.49TB SSD, GeForce RTX 3070, DE (10505814)
