Wow thatās really good! Canāt wait to attempt mine
Hey everyone, just wanted to share my new Benchmark score. Does this mean I win?

Yeah I think you do! I notice that your CPU gets the GPUs working faster so youāre closer to the 400 points I think you should have. Still the GPU benchmark should be changed imo so CPU plays no part and the GPUs actually need to do the work for longer instead of barely a few seconds.

Does anyone have one of the new ASUS Pro art laptops to test?
Looking for the results on this model. ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 OLED Laptop (W7604)
Company is asking for specs for our next round of upgrades. Right now on the Dual Xeon platform, but seeing some of the Ryzen and high end i9ās these days for the dollar and probbaly moving more towards GPU rendering has me wondering. The Threadrippers are just killing everything on my spreadsheet that Iāve gathered in terms of dollars/performace. Obviously will be going with 4090.
Anyone got a 14900 that they can test? Thats one of the only CPUās I donāt have numbers for. The 13900ās are getting scores of 5.5 and up for about $550, the next reasonable step is the AMD 7960x with an impressive 7.67 but at a cost of $1550.
Overall though, from all my data gathering, for the most part you get what you pay for with a couple exceptions.
Itās a beautiful laptop and if you really need a laptop it looks like a nice one. The GPU performance will be like a 4060 laptop version. Itās specs look like it should be more on par with a 4070 laptop GPU but it seems it depends on how theyāve limited the power of the GPU.
If you aim on doing renders on your laptop as well you might want to look at how big your scenes are. 8GB VRAM is not that much and since itās quite an expensive laptop itās good to keep in mind.
I personally only use GPU to render and that has also to do with my oldie i9-9900K but GPU is always so much faster than CPU itās hard to go back once you are used to the speed of a GPU renders.
Iām not sure how expensive a game laptop is with a 4090 but that will be a lot faster with GPU renders and give you 4GB of VRAM extra. NVidia likes to push people to itās more Pro series of cards but you pay a lot more for no more performance basically. You do have a really nice looking laptop but maybe there are more gamer orientated laptops which are the same price but would be much faster using KeyShot. Just need to find one that looks also a bit decent 
As always, the performance of laptop GPUās is much less than the desktop counterparts but I can imagine it need to be a laptop.

For CPUās that works quite well although the āƧheapā AMD 7800X3D beats Intelās 14900K in games. Which is half the price. But mainly because games are lousy in using multiple cores.
GPUās are a different story though, the gamer GPUās are more interesting for renders than the āprosumerā series. They have their qualities but more if you use multiple cards to calculate an AI model or really need more than 24GB of VRAM.
Hi Oscar,
I due need the portability of the laptop.
Most of my work is designing in Solidworks & ProE depending on the client.
That is why I need the RTX 3000 version GPU. needs to be Solidworks certified card.
With regards to Keyshot work.
I do high res product concept stills usually with CPU for the better quality image.
And lower res turntable animations with GPU to speed things up.
I also have the question of how much ASUS is limiting the power to the GPU.
That is why I need someone with one of these to run the benchmark.
Donāt want to bite the bullet on this expensive of a machine without some real speed numbers.
Hi @Darren_Mark,
I wonder what Nvidia pays them, thereās no reason to spend so much on a RTX 3000 other than itās in the list of ācertified hardwareā. I Googled a bit and I see many reviews of laptops with a consumer GPU tested with SolidWorks 2024. Of course, up to you but performance wise Iām pretty sure a 4090 will be much faster in all GPU accelerated tasks. Also expensive but donāt think such a laptop would be much more expensive than the Asus. I donāt work with SolidWorks but maybe you can open a topic just asking for peoples experiences or check some reviews.
I know @harry.wills has a Alienware laptop but not sure if he uses SolidWorks a lot.
I see that Asus gives the GPU 130W of power which is nice, itās the same for the ProArts with a 4060/4070, all 130W. Since that all has to be cooled there are also laptops which have the power greatly reduced to the GPU. Ifās actually smart to check for some heavy reviews since laptops get hot and than throttle their speed. I reckon Asus knows what they are doing but wonāt hurt to check.
Itās quite hard to find numbers on how they perform with CUDA renders. But if I look at V-Ray benchmark results (CUDA) the 4090 laptop version is faster than a RTX 5000 ADA Generation.
This is also a pretty extended list of CPU and GPU benchmarks. Itās CineBench but for the relation between cards regarding speed it gives a good indication. There are no ADA RTX 3000ās in the list but if you take a 4070 Laptop it might give an idea, canāt find the CineBench 2024 score of some ADA generation GPUās anywhere

I think you might regret getting the RTX 3000 but maybe a shop around has one and you can ask them to run CineBench 2024 so you have some idea about how fast the GPU works and how noisy the laptop gets when itās working hard.
I have the Alienware M18 Laptop, @oscar.rottink recommended this to me and it runs really well.
I have the RTX 4090 Laptop card in it. I canāt find that they have my spec in stock currently.
I use Solidworks and Keyshot, I have had no problems at all. Iām not doing anything crazy on Solidworks, but itās given me no reason to believe that it would struggle. Iām doing a lot of surface modelling but no massive animated assemblies or anything like that.
Rendering is a dream, super fast for a laptop. I also do several animations.
It is a laptop, but itās not really portable. You need to plug it in to get the power to use the laptop really, and the battery life is so little I never use it not plugged in. I do however just use a backpack to take it to and from work as I am hybrid so for me itās as portable as it needs to be, but I wont be setting up in any coffee shops for sure. Essentially itās a portable PC, not a laptop.

I was looking at that same laptop and yeah that thing is a BEAST!

I have this one through work and now I want one of my own too. Bit heavy and hot, but I canāt complain.
I think you had something like this:
Alienware m18 Gaming Laptop - Laptop Computers | Dell USA
Can imagine itās not that portable to carry around everywhere, 4.2kg but it needs some stuff to get the 270W cooled down a bit
