Aorus 17X XES review: Gaming laptop with an i9-12900HX offers top performance

Not only for gaming. With its 360-Hertz panel, RGB keyboard, and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, the Gigabyte laptop is fully designed for gaming. At the same time, the Intel processor used and the amount of RAM also offer abundant power. How exactly this turns out will be shown by our benchmarks and gaming tests.

Mario Petzold, 👁 Florian Glaser (translated by Mark Riege), Published 08/17/2022 🇩🇪 🇨🇳 ...

The Aorus 17X XES offers 16 cores and 24 threads.

With its most important key specifications, the laptop is predestined for gaming. Because of its 360-Hertz panel, the Aorus 17X is supposed to handle high frame rates particularly well. Considering the Intel i9-12900HX, which is currently the most powerful mobile processor of the Alder Lake class with its abundant 16 cores and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, this doesn't seem an illusory goal at all. In addition, there is also a model with the Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti, which promises additional FPS and should be even slightly faster.

With so much performance, the competitors include correspondingly well-equipped gaming laptops such as the MSI GE67 HX 12 UGS or the Schenker XMG Pro 17 E22. Another interesting comparison should be with the externally identical Aorus 17 XE4, which combines the same graphics card with a slightly smaller CPU. You can also find additional details on the case, maintenance, or input devices in the review of the Aorus 17 XE4, since these sections are identical for the Aorus 17X.

Case - Large cooling system and a lot of plastic in the Aorus 17X

Being large, heavy, and dominated by plastic, the case can be considered pragmatic at best. The display lid could have been a bit more robust, but overall, there are no annoying creaking noises, and you can also open the lid up to 130 degrees using a single hand without any trouble. Considering the heavy base, this is of course not surprising. The white, illuminated Aorus logo is attractive to look at.

Equipment - Minimal but suitable for a gaming laptop

The amount of connections isn't really abundant. But at least, Thunderbolt 4 ensures fast data transfer. The 2.5-Gigabit LAN port offers a similar advantage, and not only creative professionals should be pleased with the three different video output ports.

Communications

The WLAN module, which slightly surpasses the average transmission rates of gaming laptops, also offers a high bandwidth. But with Wi-Fi 6E, the standard used here is also correspondingly powerful.

Webcam

As in the Aorus 17 XE4, the 17X XES also uses a simple HD camera. With its weak resolution, it is just barely suited for video calls. At least, the resulting image is easily recognizable even in bad light conditions, and the color deviations remain within limits.

On the other hand, the dual-array microphone turns out good. Recordings from various directions and distances are reproduced at almost the same volume. Unfortunately, the voices sound very tinny, but at least they are easily understandable.

Input Devices - The gaming keyboard has a colorful illumination

The decent keyboard doesn't offer a large stroke but a comfortable resistance. The frame hardly bends. At least, with the freely configurable RGB illumination, a large selection of function keys, and the full-size number block, there are no reasons for complaint. However, we have to be careful, since the keyboard is minimally smaller than the standard, which can cause some irritation when typing.

Display - Fast but not bright

The large display with a 17.3-inch diagonal impresses particularly with its refresh rate of 360 Hz. The response times turn out correspondingly short. In addition, there is a decent contrast ratio of more than 1000:1. The high refresh rate is combined with a Full HD resolution.

What is less convincing is the brightness. Even on the desk, the average value of 270 cd/m² seems too low at times, and the illumination lacks power. Considering the weak background illumination, the screen bleeding remains within limits, and we only notice a light halo in the top right corner with extremely dark image content.

To enable the display to adjust automatically to the surroundings, Gigabyte equipped the Aorus 17X with a brightness sensor. While it works reliably, it activates a bit too often for our tastes. Merely creating some shadow by moving the hand in front of it, might lead to an adjustment of the brightness, which is also reported each time.

Nvidia Advanced Optimus, which runs in the background and limits the latencies to a minimum, ensures almost unnoticeable switching between the iGPU and gaming graphics card. This is especially practical for fast and competitive games, but also useful in general.

* ... smaller is better

The color space coverage is optimally targeted for gaming. The sRGB color space can basically be reproduced completely. As expected, the display is only able to cover parts of the AdobeRGB or DCI-P3 color spaces, which are most used for processing media.

The color accuracy in the state of delivery can still be improved. However, you need trained eyes to be able to really notice the DeltaE of barely 4. After the calibration, we measure a DeltaE of only 1, which corresponds to an almost optimal color reproduction. You can download the associated color profile from the link above, at the bottom of the box with the panel values.

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
5.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 2.5 ms rise
5.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 3.3 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 11 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.9 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
3.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 1.4 ms rise
3.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 2 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 7 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (34.5 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: 54 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18982 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Outdoors, photos are hardly recognizable, but you can still read text.

Using the Aorus 17X XES outdoors can hardly be recommended. In direct sunlight, you can hardly recognize anything anymore. Even in the shade or with light from the back, most colors will lack in brightness.

The laptop is still sufficient to use for web surfing or reading in a shady place. However, image processing or gaming can only be recommended indoors.

The viewing angle stability is without fault, but we don't expect anything else from an IPS panel. Even from a steep viewing angle of almost 90°, we do not observe any color changes. Although the brightness is reduced, this doesn't hinder recognition.

Performance - The i9 CPU dominates in the gaming laptop

The hardware equipment proves itself to be sufficient for the Full-HD resolution. All the current and most probably also many future games can be played smoothly on the gaming laptop without any compromises. If you can accept with less details, very high frame rates also become realistic and can be displayed optimally thanks to 360 Hz including variable refresh rates.

In addition, the extremely fast processor with a total of 24 threads in combination with 32 GB of DDR5 RAM also allow using it for demanding computations aside from graphical applications. The computing performance by no means needs to hide from a workstation.

Test Conditions

For all the tests, games, and benchmarks, as well as additional tasks from text and image processing to surfing the Internet, we used the automatic switching of the performance profiles in the Gigabyte Control Center, which is called "Ai Boost." Not only does this adjust the power limits of the CPU, but the color profiles and behavior of the fans or keyboard also change depending on the situation. The table below shows how much power is allocated for the processor.

Overall, the system works reliably, recognizes all the programs, and associates them with the corresponding modes. However, we found the very noticeable change between color profiles that always occurred with some delay a bit annoying. This was noticeable, for example, when closing the browser and starting a writing program that activates the creator mode.

While completely turning off the keyboard illumination when the power plug is pulled from the outlet seems consequent, it still isn't really practical in the evening hours.

Independent from the intelligent control, the performance profiles can also be adjusted individually up to the smallest details, in order to orient them on your own preferences. However, you then need to switch them manually. You can do this via button press, which is also the same way you can adjust the fan profile.

Processor

Copper instead of aluminum for the heat pipes in the Aorus 17X.

The Intel Core i9-12900HX offers 2 additional Performance cores compared to the i9-12900H. Together with 8 additional Efficiency cores, this results in the ability to handle a total of 24 threads, which becomes noticeable during intense tasks including multi-tasking.

Since only the P cores reach the maximum clock speed of 5.0 GHz, the HX chip offers the same on paper as a AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX in this regard. In the constant load test with Cinebench R15 and also the general CPU performance, it places significantly ahead of the AMD chip. Overall, the i9 leaves most of the competitors significantly behind in terms of the raw performance capabilities, which is not surprising when you consider its impressive equipment. The i9 processors with 6 P cores such as the i9-12900H are also left behind.

In addition, there is a very stable performance in the long run, which considering the high power consumption also points to a very well designed cooling system. After the first run of Cinebench R15, the value doesn't even drop by 4% in the long run. The cooling also represents the only visible external difference to the Aorus 17 XE4. Instead of the black painted cooling fins made from aluminum, you can see the copper of the heat pipes through the fan vent openings.

Our benchmark list provides an overview of the performance of various processors.

System Performance

Considering the processor used, we almost expected the excellent performance of the Aorus 17X in terms of the system performance. The laptop is clearly able to move ahead of the average of gaming laptops we tested, in some parts even by more than 20%. It almost always places ahead of the Aorus 17 XE4, which is not very surprising considering the lower processor performance of that system. Only the MSI Raider GE66 12UHS with the overclocked Intel Core i9-12900HK is able to achieve even better values almost throughout.

The performance capabilities can be clearly felt during almost every application startup, and we can hardly, if at all, observe any delays. Even running several applications in parallel does not lead to any hindrances, which is also due to the large and fast working memory. The use of virtual scenarios therefore also appears completely realistic.

In battery operation, which forces using the Power Saving mode, not much is left of the high performance, and the result in PCMark10 then reaches only one third of the best value.

DPC Latencies

In the evaluation of latencies when running programs, the laptop is unable to impress us fully. To evaluate this, we open several pages in the default browser and then play a Youtube video in 4K resolution and run Prime95. This results in a maximum delay of barely more than 1 ms. This value is limited and in some instances significantly lower than those of the competitors. However, the Aorus 17X XES is still not suited for real-time audio and video processing with this.

The 4K video reproduction gives solid but not perfect results. The demand on the processor is not very high, and after completing the video, only 3 frames were dropped of a total of 3,500 single frames.

Storage Solution

The Gigabyte M.2 SSD used does not show any weaknesses. Even during the load test, which is particularly meant to show whether the heat development is too high, the maximum performance remains constant. The capabilities of the PCIe 4.0 connection are used to the full extent.

Among the other competitors, the Schenker XMG Pro 17 E22 shows how things shouldn't be done, since there is throttling already after a short time period.

Graphics Card

The Aorus 17X provides the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics card with a maximum of 130 watts, with the possibility of taking 15 watts of that as "Dynamic Boost" for the CPU. In our various benchmarks, the gaming laptop performs close to the average value of the GPU used.

In the stress test with The Witcher 3, the performance also remains constant for longer time periods, which is an indication that the cooling system is sufficiently sized. However, it is conspicuous that the Aorus 17 XE4 with the smaller i7-12700H processor does better throughout here. A glance at the sensor values of HWiNFO shows that the GPU doesn't reach the same performance values, which can probably be traced back to the significantly higher power and cooling needs of the larger processor. This means that the maximum temperature of the GPU is reached considerably faster, leading to a lowering of the clock speed. The average values of the two charts below show this fairly well.

You can find additional benchmarks and comparisons to various graphics cards in our benchmark list.
