Gigabyte A5 K1 review: Old-school gaming notebook

Against the slimming trend. The Gigabyte A5 K1 presents itself as a classic gaming laptop that does not put emphasis on a thin and particularly light case. The focus is rather on a good price-performance ratio, because you get a six-core CPU from AMD and a GeForce RTX 3060 with high TGP for under 1,000 Euros (~$993).

Florian Glaser, 👁 Florian Glaser, ✓ Brian Burriston (translated by DeepL / Ninh Duy), Published 09/06/2022 🇩🇪 🇸🇪 ...

After we had already tested the just under 1,800 Euros (~$1788) A5 X1 with Ryzen 9 5900HX and GeForce RTX 3070, Gigabyte has now sent us the much cheaper A5 K1, which also has 16 GB of DDR4 RAM (2x 8 GB Dual Channel) and a 512 GB NVMe-based SSD, but has to make do with less CPU and GPU power. However, a Ryzen 5 5600H and a GeForce RTX 3060 are very respectable for around 900 Euros (~$894). In this price range you often only get a GeForce RTX 3050 or 3050 Ti. Gigabyte (or the barebone manufacturer Clevo) uses a matte 144 Hz panel with 1920 x 1080 pixels for the display. Attention: The computer actually only comes with FreeDOS. However, Gigabyte was kind enough to install Windows 11 Pro for us in advance.

The A5 K1's competitors include other 15-inch gamers with GeForce RTX 3060 or the equal Radeon RX 6600M like the Asus TUF Gaming F15 FX507ZM, the Lenovo Legion 5 15ACH6A and the MSI Alpha 15 B5EEK, which are, except for the Legion, much more expensive. The latter notebooks appear in the tables as comparison devices.

Since the chassis is identical in construction to the A5 X1 except for minimal changes (the sides are now textured/structured in places), we will not re-evaluate the case, ports and input devices in this article. You can find the corresponding information in the linked test report.

* ... smaller is better

Instead of a panel from AU Optronics, our test configuration of the A5 K1 had a BOE panel on board. Besides the illumination (the display struggles with visible screen bleeding), the brightness could also be better. An average of 281 cd/m² might be sufficient for most indoor environments, but you will quickly wish for a higher luminosity in brighter places like winter gardens, balconies or terraces. The more expensive brother still achieved 325 cd/m² here.

The advantage of the A5 K1 is the slightly lower black value (0.29 vs 0.4 cd/m²), which leads to a noticeably higher contrast on paper (1,107:1 vs 838:1). However, the differences are limited in practice because the A5 X1 offers a larger color space.

The latter is also slightly ahead in terms of color accuracy. Viewing angles and response times are satisfactory in both devices.

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
9.5 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 5.5 ms rise
9.5 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. » 19 % 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
14.5 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 6.8 ms rise
14.5 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 7.7 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 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 21 % 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.

Power

With a hexa-core CPU and a 6 GB GPU, the A5 K1 makes itself comfortable between the mid-range and the high-end. 16 GB of RAM are also not bad for the advertised price.

Test conditions

Among other things, the power mode can be changed in the preloaded Gaming Center, which is visually familiar from other Clevo barebones. Apart from the battery test, which was performed in entertainment mode, our measurements were taken with the power profile (including automatic fan speed setting). For a longer battery life and a lower operating noise, we recommend the power-saving mode and the silent mode, which does not quite live up to its name.

Processor

The Ryzen 5 5600H is an ideal companion for the GeForce RTX 3060. The six-core model from AMD's Cezanne generation offers 16 MB L3 cache and can process up to 12 threads in parallel via SMT. The TDP of the 7 nm chip is 45 watts. Although the Ryzen 5 5600H unsurprisingly cannot compete with the stronger AMD brothers Ryzen 7 5800H and Ryzen 9 5900HX, the processor delivers a good performance. In the loop test with Cinebench R15, the result remained very consistent and was on par with the Lenovo Legion 5, which is also equipped with a 5600H.

DPC latencies

The laptop does less well in terms of latency. According to the tool LatencyMon, those who want to edit audio or video in real time should rather look for an alternative (or do it manually), and many notebooks reveal weaknesses here.

Mass storage

The installed 512 GB SSD is neither particularly fast nor particularly slow for an NVMe drive, but performs in the midfield of the comparison devices. We have to criticize the long-term performance in particular. In the long-term test with DiskSpd, the speed dropped massively after several runs and then settled at a medium level. On a positive note, the case can accommodate up to two M.2 drives (PCIe 2280) and a 2.5-inch drive.

Graphics card

The GeForce RTX 3060 is a ray-tracing GPU based on Nvidia's Ampere architecture. The DirectX 12 model has 3,840 shader units, although the performance depends very much on the TGP setting. Gigabyte chooses a very high value for the RTX 3060 with a maximum of 130 watts, which can also be seen in the benchmark results. These are almost 10% better than the previously determined 3060 average. The RTX 3070, on the other hand, is about 20% faster in the GPU portion. The memory configuration is not quite up to date anymore. 6 GB VRAM already reaches its limits in demanding games - at least in higher resolutions and settings. Passionate gamers should at least use an 8 GB GPU.
