Gaming Nvidia Geforce Intel Raptor Lake Laptop

While premium laptops continue to become more expensive each year, the budget segment in 2024 offers a plethora of exciting products. Such an example is the Victus 15-fa1057ng, available for less than $1000. Setting itself apart from many competitors, it features a GeForce RTX 4050 with 6 GB GDDR6 VRAM. Complementing this is a Core i5-13500H processor (12 cores, 16 threads), 16 GB DDR4-3,200 RAM (2x 8 GB SO-DIMM), and a 512 GB PCIe-based M.2 SSD. Handling visual output is a matte 144 Hz Full HD IPS display, although it's specified with 250 nits and 45% NTSC – values we consider outdated, even for the budget sector. The package is completed with Windows 11 Home as the operating system (cheaper versions with FreeDOS are also available).

Case

Customers receive a robust plastic enclosure, as is common in this price category, although it may exhibit some rattling in certain areas and lacks the premium sound and feel. A redesign or optimization might be beneficial for the slightly shaky hinges. Overall stability is similar. Most notably, when applying more pressure, the palm rest might bow substantially. The Victus 15 has a beautiful aesthetic that combines subtle and fun design features. The dimensions and weight are within average range, although not particularly noteworthy when compared to the competitors.

Connectivity

The range of connectivity elicits varied reactions. While the absence of a card reader is notable, HP compromises on contemporary USB ports. The available USB ports (2x Type-A, 1x Type-C incl. DisplayPort) are limited to 5 Gbit/s. Fortunately, the HDMI port is specified as version 2.1 by the producer. Additionally, an audio socket and an RJ45 port (limited to 1 Gbit LAN instead of 2.5) are present. With most of the connections situated in the rear half of the case, there is no difficulty in using the mouse.

Webcam

The performance of the 720p webcam is not exceptional, leaving room for improvement, particularly in terms of image sharpness.

ColorChecker HP Victus 15-fa1057ng: 7.73 ∆E min: 1.91 - max: 17.61 ∆E

Accessories

The laptop comes with a few information booklets and a not-too-bulky 200-watt power supply unit.

Maintenance

Some caution is needed during maintenance. While the Phillips screws on the base plate can be removed relatively quickly, loosening the retaining clips proves to be somewhat challenging, even with a suitable tool. The pictures show the interior of the casing, and that all essential components are accessible.

Warranty

The warranty only covers 12 months.

Input devices

Keyboard

In terms of the keyboard, the layout requires some adaptation. The compact directional arrows and the unconventional arrangement of the F-row (power button not on the outer edge, Ins and Del not adjacent, etc.) may also raise some eyebrows. Nevertheless, the keyboard provides a satisfactory typing experience. The white illumination has only two settings: on or off, without adjustable brightness levels.

Touchpad

The quality of the touchpad aligns with that of the competition. The gliding properties and functionality of the click surfaces are neither poor nor exceptionally good. There were no noticeable issues with gesture support. The size is decent at approximately 4.92 x 3.15 inches.

Display

The subpar display proves to be the most significant drawback. While the black level (0.28 cd/m²) and contrast (975:1) are still decent, the luminosity leaves much to be desired. An average of 249 cd/m² can be problematic even indoors. The Victus 15 is entirely unsuitable for outdoor use.

* ... smaller is better

The 15 inch device faces substantial criticism regarding the color space. With 58% sRGB, the outcome is a rather lackluster picture, limiting the visual appeal of films, pictures, and games. Some competitors, like the Dell G15 or the Asus TUF A15, perform significantly better in this aspect.

Meanwhile, the viewing angle stability and response time adhere to the typical IPS standard.

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
16.3 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 7.6 ms rise
16.3 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 8.7 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 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 33 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.5 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
23.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 11.1 ms rise
23.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 12.7 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 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 29 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.7 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 17903 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Performance

In this configuration, the Victus 15 is clearly a mid-range notebook. While 16 GB of RAM is currently sufficient for gaming, the only 512 GB SSD can quickly become cramped, especially as the 15 inch model does not offer a second M.2 slot.

Testing conditions

The Omen Gaming Hub enables users to influence the system behavior. The various power control modes not only affect the volume but also the performance (see table). Our tests were all conducted in the "Standard" mode, as the frame rate gain under "Performance" is, as is often the case, disproportionate to the increase in noise. Interestingly, the "Quiet" mode consistently resulted in higher noise emissions than "Standard" on the test device despite lower FPS figures.

Witcher 3 (FHD/Ultra)	Eco	Quiet	Standard	Performance
Noise	36 dB(A)	46 dB(A)	42 dB(A)	48 dB(A)
Performance	60 fps lock	54 fps	78 fps	80 fps

Processor

The Core i5-13500H is part of Intel's Raptor Lake generation, featuring four performance cores with Hyper-Threading and eight efficiency cores without HT. Its speed in the benchmark results is in between the Acer Nitro V 15's Core i5-13420H and the Dell G15's Core i5-13450HX. The Ryzen 7 7735HS is roughly on par initially, but the Core i5 loses more points and exhibits less consistent performance in the loop test. Comparing it to the predecessor is somewhat unfair, as the Core i7 of the old Victus belongs more to the high-end range.

Graphics card

The performance of present Nvidia graphics cards is highly dependent on the chosen TDP. HP has chosen 75 watts (including Dynamic Boost) for the Victus 15, which is relatively low for the RTX 4050 but is only reflected to a limited extent in many benchmarks. Overall, the 3D performance aligns with the average for this graphics card. The future-proofing of the RTX 4050 is not too promising, as 6 GB VRAM and a 96-bit interface can already become limiting factors in demanding titles.

Gaming Performance

Nevertheless, the Victus 15 is fast enough to smoothly run most current games at the native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 with high to maximum settings. It only faces challenges in individual cases such as Enshrouded. The fact that the RTX 4050 operates with a maximum TDP of 75 watts does not have any noticeable effects compared to laptops with a higher TGP, similar to the synthetic tests.

Emissions

System noise

We would describe the noise development as expected. At 29-31 dB (idle) and 40-48 dB (load), the 15 inch laptop is neither very quiet nor very loud in "Standard" mode, but reaches a medium level that should be acceptable for most buyers even without a headset.

Temperature

The case temperatures are surprisingly low. Even after an hour of stress testing with the Furmark and Prime95 tools, the case only reaches a temperature of 107.6 °F. This means that the Victus 15 can easily be placed on the lap while gaming. The competition gets noticeably warmer in some cases.

Stress test

The components provided no unwelcome surprises. Following an extended period of full load, the CPU stabilized at approximately 176 °F, while the GPU maintained an average of 158 °F, which is also entirely acceptable for this scenario.

Speakers

If possible, a headset or external speakers should be connected for media enjoyment. The Victus 15's 2.0 audio system only achieved a mediocre score in the audio analysis, with noticeable deficiencies in bass reproduction and maximum volume.

Runtimes

The 15 inch laptop doesn't have to hide behind the competition in terms of runtimes either - on the contrary. The HP offshoot lasted around 7.5 hours in our WLAN test with the brightness reduced to 150 cd/m² - a good result for a gaming notebook. The values of the predecessor are probably significantly worse due to a bug.

+ maintains moderate temperatures during operation

+ excellent battery life

Cons

- display exhibits limited brightness and color space

- build quality of the case could be improved

- SSD throttling issues

- lacks support for USB 4

Verdict

The Victus 15-fa1057ng emerges as a typical budget gaming notebook, catering to price-conscious gamers.

The plastic casing, though not exuding high-quality craftsmanship, reliably performs its function, as do the input devices. The hardware aligns well with the Full HD resolution, providing a decent gaming experience for most titles, even though the 144 Hz display is not fully exploited. Emissions from the Core i5-13500H and GeForce RTX 4050 remain manageable.

One advantage is the significantly extended battery life.

However, users must accept a display with limited color accuracy and brightness. For those prioritizing image quality, alternatives like the Dell G15 5530 or Asus TUF A15 FA507 in a similar price range may be worth considering. Consequently, an improved display quality would be a significant enhancement for the successor.

Price and availability

The HP Victus 15 equipped with the Core i5-13500H, is available for approximately $690 from various online retailers (e.g., Amazon).

I discovered my interest in computers in my childhood, growing up with MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 in the early 1990s. I was especially fascinated with computer games, even from an early age. From Monkey Island through Lands of Lore to Doom, I tried every game I could get my hands on. I have been working for Notebookcheck since 2009 with my focus mostly being on high-performance gaming laptops.

Having spent the greater part of my early years in Germany facilitated my upbringing as a bilingual kid. In 2007, I found myself having to reinstall my Windows weekly ... So, one day I bought a MacBook Black. It was during this period that I developed a profound appreciation for technology, which significantly improved my life.
