Alienware x17 R2 laptop review: Peak 175 W GeForce RTX 3080 Ti performance

Supercharged performance at all costs.

Most ultrathin gaming laptops strike a careful balance between performance, noise, and power consumption. The Alienware x17 R2, on the other hand, shows no shame maximizing performance even if it means a louder and more power-hungry system.

Allen Ngo 👁, Published 05/11/2022 🇨🇳 🇸🇪 ...

Dell introduced its Alienware x17 series late last year with a completely new chassis design to distinguish it from the existing Alienware m17 series. For this year, the manufacturer has refreshed the lineup with the launch of the Alienware x17 R2 complete with 12th gen Intel Alder Lake-H CPUs and GeForce RTX 3070/3080 Ti graphics to replace last year's 11th gen Tiger Lake-H and RTX 3070/3080 options, respectively. Other updates are present as well including the faster RAM (DDR4-3466 to DDR5-4800), newer display options, and support for MUX and Advanced Optimus.

Other than the internal updates mentioned above, the Alienware x17 R2 uses the same chassis as the Alienware x17 R1. We recommend checking out our review on the x17 R1 as our existing comments on the chassis, Cherry mechanical keyboard, and ports are also relevant on the x17 R2.

See the official technical specifications below for all configurable options. Our specific test unit is a higher-end SKU with the Core i9-12900HK, 360 Hz 1080p display, and 175 W GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics for just under $4000 USD. Competitors in this space include other ultra-thin 17.3-inch gaming laptops like the MSI GS77, Razer Blade 17, and Asus Zephyrus S17.

Case

Though it's marketed as an ultrathin gaming laptop, the Alienware x17 R2 chassis is still noticeably heavier and larger than alternatives like the Asus Zephyrus S17, MSI GS77, or Razer Blade 17. In return, the Alienware system is able to carry a more powerful 175 W GPU whereas most other ultrathin gaming laptops are limited to 140 W or less.

Display

Our AU Optronics B173HAN IPS panel checks almost all the typical boxes including a fast 360 Hz refresh rate, fast black-white and gray-gray response times, and full sRGB coverage to be fit for both gaming and most graphics editing. Other laptop makers with 17.3-inch 1080p 360 Hz display options will likely use the same AU Optronics panel as found on our Alienware. A higher-end 4K 120 Hz option is available as well all with G-Sync support.

There are currently no OLED options which would have offered wider DCI-P3 color coverage and deeper black levels than the usual IPS solution.

Interestingly, our FHD panel is not as bright as the 4K UHD panel on the original x17 R1. We're able to measure a maximum brightness of 365 nits here compared to 439 nits on the 4K x17 R1.

* ... smaller is better

The display is not calibrated very well out of the box especially since color temperature is overly warm. Once properly calibrated against sRGB, however, we're able to achieve average grayscale and color deltaE values down to just 0.6 and 0.51, respectively.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
9.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 5.2 ms rise
9.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 4 ms fall
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 22 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.9 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
12.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 6.4 ms rise
12.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 6 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 22 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.8 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8705 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Performance

Testing Conditions

We set our unit to High Performance mode and with the discrete GPU active prior to running any performance benchmarks below for the highest possible scores. High Performance mode can be easily toggled via Fn+F1 while the MUX switch can be accessed via the Nvidia Control Panel. We highly recommend users become familiar with the Alienware Command Center software as the power profiles, RGB settings, real-time monitoring, and other features are found here.

MUX switch is accessible via Nvidia Control Panel

Processor

Raw CPU performance is about 10 to 15 percent faster than the average laptop in our database with the same Core i9-12900HK. It's a decent boost over the Core i7-12800H or last generation Core i7-11800H by up to 30 percent each in multi-threaded workloads. AMD's latest Zen 3+ CPU, the Ryzen 9 6900HX, is also consistently slower in raw CineBench benchmarks, but it will outperform the Core i9-12900HK in certain AIDA64 benchmarks.

System Performance

PCMark results are consistently higher than what we recorded on last year's x17 R1 by relatively slight margins.

It's worth noting that the laptop consumes a lot of power even when on standby or sleep mode. We're able to record a consumption of almost 12 W when in sleep mode compared to <2 W on most other laptops. Furthermore, the fans in our test unit would sometimes be active even when in sleep mode and the unit would at times have trouble waking up properly as well.

GPU Performance

With its very high TGP target of 175 W, graphics performance is one of the fastest on any gaming laptop. The 2022 Razer Blade 15, for example, comes with the same GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GPU albeit at a lower 110 W TGP target for 25 to 30 percent slower performance. Similar deficits can be observed when comparing the GPU in the Alienware to the same GPU in the MSI GS77 as well. When combined with the faster-than-average CPU, users can expect frame rates to be slightly higher than most other gaming laptops equipped with GeForce RTX 3080 graphics.

The mobile RTX 3080 Ti in our Alienware x17 R2 is most similar to the desktop GeForce RTX 3070. A desktop RTX 3080 Ti can still offer almost 50 percent faster performance than our Alienware mobile version.

Keep in mind that graphics performance is slower if running on Balanced mode instead of maximum fan mode. Fire Strike Graphics score would be about 8 to 9 percent lower when on the Balanced power profile.
