Chassis, connections, screen of the HP Victus Gaming 16-r0037nf
With its dark design with angular lines, this versatile, gamer-oriented and creative laptop that can be recharged to 50% in 30 minutes has a relatively discreet gamer look.
This creative gaming laptop PC integrates good connectivity consisting of 1 USB-C, Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6 axis wireless modules for communicating and connecting remotely, Ethernet and audio ports, an HDMI video output practical for easily connecting it to a TV or a monitor for example but also 3 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) ensuring transfers up to 5 times faster than USB 2.0 if plugged in above USB 3.0 devices.
We appreciate being able to hide the webcam behind a privacy shutter when not in use in order to protect privacy.
The chiclet keyboard obviously has a backlighting system that you just need to activate whenever you need to better discern your keys.
The screen will delight gamers with its refresh rate of 165Hz, higher than the standard 60Hz because it provides much better fluidity in everyday life, including in games, especially as the latency is low.
The screen also offers sRGB colorimetry that is more faithful than average as well as a 2.5K definition higher than Full HD. Suitable for High Definition content, the 16:10 screen is more comfortable in height than a 16:9 panel.
Equipped with significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles due to its IPS technology, the screen is adorned with an anti-reflective coating making it more readable in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors) than a shiny panel.
Performance, autonomy of the HP Victus Gaming 16-r0037nf
The HP Victus Gaming 16-r0037nf is aimed at those who want to equip themselves with a versatile portable PC in a comfortable format that performs well in gaming and creation.
As it features the dedicated high-end GeForce RTX 4070 ray tracing graphics card with NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, this gaming laptop is capable of running the most recent games that require 3D resources.
And this despite the fact that a greater number of calculations are necessary in 2.5K than in Full HD, which implies a lower number of fps.
The GeForce RTX 4070 will appeal to gamers as well as creators because it provides graphics acceleration of multimedia processing under software using GPU computing power, such as VSDC, the Adobe suite or Vegas.
Depending on the tasks performed, NVIDIA Optimus technology automatically activates/deactivates the GeForce RTX 4070 in real time. It prefers as much as possible the Intel Iris Xe inserted in the processor with much lower performance because it consumes little energy which promotes autonomy.
In this area, count on around 4 hours of battery operation in light use.
The GeForce RTX 4070 is used by Optimus to carry out graphics work deemed too heavy for the Iris Xe, typically for gaming. With one or the other, you can obviously watch HD photos and videos.
It is the Core i7-13650H which houses the Iris demanding.
In games, the GeForce RTX 4070 is very well supported by this core which deploys its potential under software that consumes CPU and RAM resources taking advantage of multi-core, such as 3D rendering, photo editing or video editing.
Under this type of work we obtain much faster processing than if we were dealing with a classic Quad/Hexa Core processor and 16 GB DDR4/5.
On the storage side, HP opts as expected for a very comfortable 1 TB SSD to install and store many games, software and files, including personal production if desired.
Thanks to the SSD, you can quickly access online game cards while launching games/software, processing and starting/stopping are done quickly.
Because an SSD is very fast, in addition to being silent, energy efficient and shock resistant.
Finally, this versatile multimedia gaming laptop PC heats up and makes itself heard when it is heavily used (e.g. games, treatments).
If necessary, it can be coupled to a ventilated support to limit its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
