[PConline stand-alone evaluation] Whether in the game or in the movie, the predator has always been a symbol of barbarism and power. The player's impression of him is often a ruthless, slashing and robbery character. The setting of the predator unit in Warcraft 3 is extremely consistent with this title: An orc warrior riding a wolf can attack the building and gain money. The predators are dangerous, but they are also powerful. In World of Warcraft 3, Xiaobian's familiarity, the predator is one of the core arms of the Orcs. In StarCraft 2, the predator unit also has the nickname of bald father. And I believe that Acer named its own e-sports series as predators, but also from the powerful predators.
Acer Predator G9-593 Reference Price: Loading... Pictures Reviews Quote Parameter Overview
Performance gaming monster GTX 1070's actual gaming experienceWhat we will bring to us today is the new game version of the Acer Predators series - the Predator 15, the specific model Predator G9-593. The 15.6-inch game has always been the mainstream of the gaming market. Although 13.3 inches is portable, When playing games, it always feels a little uncomfortable. With the 17-inch big guy, it's cool, and the experience is good enough, but it's too difficult to move, and the external display is not cool. So the 15.6-inch center was the most mainstream product in the gaming market. Then look at the following table, which lists the specific configuration of Predator 15.
One of the most dazzling is the GTX 1070 graphics card, do not first talk nonsense, we directly on the gaming experience!
â— GTA 5
"Grand Theft Auto V" is a crime-themed open-air action adventure game published by Rockstar Games. The game background is based on Los Angeles in the real region and Southern California. Produced, the game has almost the same world view as the real world. Players can play three protagonists and switch at any moment. Each protagonist has his own unique personality and story background, as well as intertwined story.

If you are a GTA 5 player, you should know more about it. If you want to get a relatively good gaming experience with full effects, the graphics card should start on the GTX 980. In order to test the objectivity of the data, here I chose to bring its own BenchMark test scenario. From the results given by the Fraps test software, the number of frames of the new Predator 15 in a certain period of time is stable at more than 60 frames, and few scenes are lower than 60 frames.
â— "Singularity"
"Singularity Ashes" is a real-time strategy game created by Stardock. The game was built using the Nitrous engine of Oxide Games. The background is set in the distant future. At that time, human beings are completely ideological and people have mastered the power of God. But humans find themselves in a war. The enemy is an ideological AI called "Haalee" that attempts to overthrow the dominance of mankind in the universe.

As a real-time strategy game, the "hardcore" recommended hardware configuration for the Intel Core i5 processor, 16 GB of memory, NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD R9 390 alone significant hardware configuration requirements are quite high. In this test, we set its image quality to the highest, and we can see that the average number of frames of the new Predator 15 is 48 frames over a period of time. The actual picture is very smooth.
â— Watching the Pioneer
"Overwatch" (OW) is a first-person shooter game developed by Blizzard Entertainment, which was launched on May 24, 2016. Netease is the agent of mainland China. The game is based on the future of the Earth and tells about the entanglement of humans, watchful pioneers and intelligent machinery. The game has 22 heroes, each hero has its own signature weapons and skills.

"Game Watcher" is a game played out this year that has been well received by everyone and has attracted many former LOL and CF players. However, Xiaobian Halo 3D, after testing for nearly an hour, has begun to be disgusting, but the game screen performance is still quite good. From the test results given by the Fraps below, we can see that the new Predator 15 has an average of 124 frames. The actual gaming experience is smooth enough and there is no Caton phenomenon.
â— League of Legends
"League of Legends" (abbreviated as lol) is an online game developed by Riot Games in the United States and operated by Tencent Games in mainland China. In addition to real-time strategy and team operations, "League of Legends" also has more than 100 unique heroes, rich maps and gameplay, and an automatic match of battlefield platform, including talent tree, summoner system, rune and other elements. LOL has become one of the most popular and influential online games in the world today.

As many people have said, "League of Legends" doesn't eat too much hardware, but considering the large number of gamers, I chose to add it to the game test. It may be that for some large stand-alone games, 30 or more frames can run smoothly, but if League of Legends is lower than 60 frames, you will be stuck in the basic team battle. The performance of the new Predator 15 with an average of 142 frames can be said to be very smooth.
The actual performance of the game has been partially read, we should have a general judgment on the performance segment of the Predator 15, do not care about the appearance and specific performance testing can jump directly to the fourth page to see the thermal test part. Next we will systematically talk about the design part of Predator 15.
Each manufacturer has its own design genes in the design part, which is an indelible design heritage. When Predator 15 was put before us, we could obviously feel it was Acer's work. One is that the previous generation of predators successfully branded us the brand ID of the predators. The curve and the rounded corner design that come from a large number of applications in the whole machine have obvious Acer style. In the game books, which are currently favored by the strong style, they are quite unique.
Acer is also unique in terms of materials. It has abandoned metal materials and the main body still uses composite materials. This is a matter of benevolence, and the wise see wisdom. Although it gave up its superior feel, it had to be admitted that the Predator 15 with a lot of high-end hardware was already quite heavy. If it continues to use metal materials, it will inevitably increase the burden on users. And the metal material has a faster thermal conductivity and feels comfortable, but when used, the experience does not necessarily have the comfort of a composite material. And Predator 15 composite material surface has a skin-like coating, feel more moist.
In terms of color, Predator 15 is red and black, using a large area of ​​black with a small area of ​​dark red. The red color scheme is basically negligible when it is not turned on, and only a small amount of red can be seen at the outlet, keyboard WASD/direction keys, and the speaker grill that is symmetrical in front of the machine. At the bottom that we don't often see, we can also see a large piece of metal plate engraved with Subwoofer, which is a subwoofer.
After the boot we can see a lot of red lights. Immediately improved the red properties of the machine, red and black with a more coordinated. Here we have to mention that the Predator 15 is very good at controlling the style of the whole machine. There is a deeper and dynamic "roaring" at the time of booting, which is quite a sense of substitution.
The game is basically a master of playing lights, Predator 15 is no exception, of course, relative to the traditional lamp factory is still somewhat inadequate. But in the actual game, playing lights does not have any attribute enhancements, so to dazzle and dazzle is not the ultimate goal pursued by the game. Lights are just a means to enhance its coolness index. Of course, this design is also deeply loved by users, so we look at the following.
Having said some of the macro aspects of the Predator 15, we next discuss the design of this machine for specific points.
First, let's take a look at our measured Predator 15's weight and thickness. With this weight, we can feel the solidity of the Predator 15, and the 3.754kg is close to many notebooks with a lot of metal materials, but this also means that it is not portable. And the Predator 15 uses a 230W power adapter, the weight of the power adapter to catch up with many light and thin, although portability has been greatly affected, but solid materials can ensure stable performance, what is not for the game Disadvantages.
In the screen we are more concerned about, the Predator 15 uses a 15.6-inch full HD screen with a resolution of 1920×1080. This resolution we have previously said is the best resolution of the current high-end game, Windows compatibility of this resolution is the best, and will not cause excessive pressure on the graphics card. With the help of the GTX 1070, you can basically run any game with full effects.
Although the official did not specify the specific data for this panel, we can see the parameters of this screen through AIDA64. This panel is LG PHILIPS LP156WF6 SPP1, is a LG production screen: LED backlight, IPS technology, can guarantee a more excellent screen display, with Gsync technology can bring a better gaming experience.
In the manipulation section, we can obviously feel the difference between the Predator 15 and other game titles. With a word to describe, it is light. The keystrokes are basically the same as other game titles, but their force feedback is gentler, they are more effortless to use, and they feel more sensitive. Its touchpad also has similar tuning and is more sensitive. At the same time Predator 15 also placed a shortcut next to the touchpad, one-touch switch touchpad and Win key, although not much innovation, but the use of experience has indeed risen. There are also six custom keys in the upper right corner, and one to five five keys support custom functions, while the leftmost key labeled P can be switched between three sets of custom key schemes.
In addition to the above two highlights, the Predator 15 has an excellent design - it has a modular design of the optical drive. Optical drive factory default is the optical drive, but in addition to the optical drive, there is a cool module. Switch easily with just one button. When you put on a cool cooling module, you can keep the notebook at a comfortable temperature, whether it is the use of experience or stability, are more excellent.
The interface of the Predator 15 is extremely rich, and it does not have any interfaces at the front and rear, but it is all set on the left and right sides to ensure that the internal air ducts are not disturbed. The right interface is RJ45 cable interface, standard DP interface, standard HDMI interface, two USB 3.0 interfaces, and one Thunderbolt 3 interface from top to bottom. The right side from the top to the bottom are two USB 3.0, microphone interface, headphone jack, multi-reader, and optical drive module.
These four softwares are our more commonly used test softwares and will not be described in detail. CineBench is a persuasive set of CPU test systems. The new version is more accurate in detecting CPU performance. AS SSD Benchmark is an SSD test software from Germany that can test sequential reading and writing, 4K alignment, 4KB random read and write and response time performance. 3Dmark is the oldest graphics performance test software, PCMark 8 is also the old overall performance benchmarking software. Here we will draw the measured scores into a table for your reference.
Endurance and heat dissipation are two important criteria that we usually discuss when a notebook is good enough. The battery life here does not explain too much, the influence of heat dissipation performance on the game book can not be ignored, in addition to affecting the actual game experience of the player, but also about the performance of the machine itself. The Predator 15 uses the i7-6700HQ with the GTX 1070. The heat generation should not be underestimated. What will the Predator 15 do? After installing the cool module, what kind of improvement will happen?
â— Thermal Test 1: Copy Test
We use the Furmark copying machine to test the Predator 15, and the Furmark will run both the CPU and the graphics card of the entire heat-generating component. After 30 minutes of operation, the temperature will reach a limit height, so that everyone can see it more intuitively. We also used the FLUKE infrared thermal imager to observe the temperature rise of each location. (Temperature spans 28°C-50°C: Below the lower temperature limit, black will be displayed; exceeding the upper temperature limit will display white).
From the heat distribution map we have drawn, the high temperature area on the front of the fuselage is concentrated in the upper position, which is also the location of the heat sink. The maximum temperature is 43.9°C; the high temperature on the back corresponds to the front, and the maximum temperature is 47.7°C. Overall, this kind of temperature control is already good enough. Next we have to look at the performance of the Predator 15 after opening the cool cooling module.
â— Thermal test II: After the cold cooling module is turned on
From the heat distribution map we have drawn, the front high temperature area of ​​the fuselage has not changed, but the maximum temperature has dropped to 38.2°C; the high temperature on the back has not changed much, and the maximum temperature is 42.3°C. Overall, the cooling efficiency of the cool cooling module is still quite high, and the temperature is reduced by 4°C+.
â— Thermal Test III: Play "watch pioneer" 30 minutes
In order to be able to test the temperature control under actual use conditions, under the premise of enabling the cool-cooling module, the heat-dissipation test is performed in a manner that does not operate "watch pioneer" for 30 minutes while the keyboard backlight is turned on at the same time.
We also plotted the heat distribution map. It can be seen that the new Predator 15 fuselage face temperature distribution is relatively uniform, the high temperature area is concentrated in the lower position, the maximum temperature is about 39.3 °C, the keyboard surface temperature is maintained at 38 degrees Celsius below, the experience is more excellent; the back of the high temperature The area is centered on the heat sink and the maximum temperature is 41.1°C. There is no obvious sense of temperature increase during the actual game and the game experience is quite good.
â– New Predator 15 Life Test
The Predator 15 battery capacity is 90Wh, in this part we choose to use traditional PCMark 8 and play 30 minutes of game two kinds of test methods.
â— Endurance Test I: PCMark 8 Life Test
First, the next test conditions: 100% screen brightness, open backlight keyboard + other lighting effects. PCMark 8 gives a 2h46min test result, which also means that in the absence of an external power supply only battery-powered, it can still ensure that you can complete 2-3 League of Legends game games, overall, Not bad.
PCMark 8 is a benchmark performance testing software for Windows system. Home testing is one of the testing modes (5 types in total). It mainly simulates the use environment of common users. The testing project covers web browsing and document processing. Pictures, video chat, light load games, etc., and include both OpenCL accelerated and traditional test modes.
â— Endurance Test II: Play "watch pioneer" 20 minutes
The test conditions were as follows: the screen brightness was adjusted to 75%, and the keyboard backlight + other lighting effects were turned on at the same time. You can see that the initial charge is 93%. 20 minutes after running "watch pioneer", battery power dropped to 67%. (PS: personal use habits are different, the actual endurance performance will be different, this part of the test is only used as a reference.)
You need to know about Predator 15â— Hardware configuration parameters
Here we integrate all the information together for easy viewing. In terms of hardware configuration, the new Predator 15 is equipped with an Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor, which is paired with a 16GB dual channel DDR4 2400 memory, 256GB SSD solid state drive, and 1TB mechanical hard drive. The most concerned about the graphics part, it is equipped with NVIDIA GTX 1070, with 8GB GDDR5 memory. This hardware parameter also means that there is this basic, full-effect game that basically follows you.
Written in the last words
The predator is Acer's new e-sports series, which has unusually solid workmanship, and unlike those who fight for a shot to change a place, this series has a very obvious brand continuation. Many of the classic elements in the new Predator 15 have been preserved, and some of the details have been optimized, such as more detailed details, a more three-dimensional tail, keyboard backlight color and more. The biggest highlight of the hardware part is undoubtedly the GTX 1070 graphics card that it carries. It can play all kinds of games with all kinds of special effects. In the future, if you want to play VR, you can also directly support it.
