This Laptop is Faster than Your Desktop PC for 3D Creation

[@SirWade]

Which workflow was the most interesting to you? What would you make if you had this kind of speed? :D

[@samuelmoser]

I would render really big scenes. Like really big scenes.

[@ultraindigo]

I already managed to snag a 3090, near MSRP back in 2020, which I use to make hundreds of iterations of objects using Blender's geometry nodes and rendering them out as concept art. If I had that laptop I would do it while on the move! I also do a lot of 2D/3D hybrid animation in Blender so I opted instead for an i7 Surface Laptop Studio instead because I need both a GPU and integrated Stylus support that is "Good Enough". If only Razer licensed Wacom's EMS technology, but at least I have a desktop that I can send stuff to render on.

[@yarugatyger1603]

@@samuelmoser Would still take ages on that laptop, I believe rendering still works better on a desktop cuz u can put even more power into it. I got a laptop like this and you still render for hours upon hours for medium scenes.

[@MVARTZ]

I'm seriously looking into this laptop now! It's like you said, you rarely are able to work on the couch on a lazy Sunday doing some 3d work. Cause most laptops are just stinkers. This seems promising dude. So thanks for the recommendation😁

[@samuelmoser]

@@yarugatyger1603 I know. But I have a PC with a gtx 960 and I want to upgrade. But I cannot afford it. And that just sucks. So my definition of big scene is probably a bit different than yours. But you are right for really big scenes you would need Quadros

[@meanderingdev]

Thank you for covering a laptop not for just productivity, video editing and gaming. As a game developer and 3D artist I appreciate this.

[@kolupsy]

One aspect I’m always missing in these reviews is battery and thermal specs? How fast does the battery drain, how hot does it get and how much throttling is going on when it’s working on max power. Would love to know these

[@unknownclint1740]

Battery drain Really fast lol it’s best to render when your laptop is plugged

[@efemji]

@@unknownclint1740 obviously they drain fast, but i would never try to render without plugging in the charger..

[@Revenkin]

Laptops have extremely limited airflow compared to a tower. If it has a metal deck like my rog g14 2060maxq get a wooden lap desk because going to the hospital for 3rd degree burns is not fun

[@3dvfxprofessor]

I am using the XMG NEO 15 with RTX 3080 and 16GB VRAM. The heat at full performance is around 70-80C.

[@SirWade]

Ooh this is great feedback!! I’ll test this out and include that kind of info in the future. Maybe I’ll do a laptop review or something.

[@montrealchannel7986]

Finally a worthy KZbin who reviews tech relating to 3d graphics, blender and unreal engine...

[@Austin_Torres]

Definitely would love to own one. My only fear is that it will overheat after heavy use and eventually the graphical card will die . My previous experience with using laptops as a developer only got one full year out of it. If this comes with a serious lifetime warranty. I’d invest. Just need that peace of mind to help me make that consideration. I know any company will not offer that kinda warranty.

[@wheeler6768]

Since then have you found a laptop that works? I've been looking to upgrade my own, I've had it for a few years but it's definitely been overworked and overheating has consistently been the biggest issue. It's my biggest concern with spending so much on a new high spec laptop only for it to last a couple years

[@aroundtheworld1983_]

That's a reality. Laptop aren't made for 3d rendering. Buy a workstation with intel xeon gold dual channel (40 cores/80 threads) like hp z6 g4 and upgrade gpu with amd or intel and you'll stay ok

[@rajis92]

From a 3D rendering perspective (GPU and CPU) this laptop would be faster than a R7 5800X with a 3070ti. The highest desktop combo it could beat to its respective parts. As for your Houdini demo with the GPU it will show an improvement if you do volume calculations with OpenGL turned on or you use a 3rd party renderer that supports GPU rendering (Arnold, Redshift, V-ray, Octane or Renderman)

[@lurker784]

the almost real time arnold render holy crap my mac could never sdjhfshdf

[@kolupsy]

Yes I love this! Reviewing mobile computers from a 3d artist perspective.

[@stinosan]

I bought a Razer laptop for my 3D work a few years ago. While the performance is decent, the thing has literally morphed from excess heat. Thermals need improvement for sure.

[@NVIDIAOmniverse]

Look at all that RTX and Omniverse goodness😍

[@crazystuff7605]

i would love to hear how the laptop does in 2-3 months

[@Seven7601]

As a guy that his desktop was made in 2013 with an i3 and HD Graphics 4400 only and 4gb of rams, I can confirm that the video title never lies

[@designertjp-utube]

Hi! Your Cool Desktop Specs is what brought me here. Trying to find out if *Nvidia's* *Omniverse* or *UE4* could theoretically *run* on an older set-up like yours (if only to produce a Scene Comp Idea)? I've already been told to stay from UE5 with those classic specs.

[@jyjko]

That was the sickest montage 👌🤌👏

[@aaeriam]

I'm really stuck between the 17" and the 15" version of this laptop. 17" is definitely a better desktop replacement laptop for 3D work and game dev but the 15" still has some respectable power and is more portable. I just wonder how big the noticeable performance difference is between the two when it comes to 3D modeling, texturing, and working in Unreal.

[@cemsengul16]

I would get the 17 inch since it has 8 speakers now. They used to have the same speakers and power brick of the 15 inch but it is now worth buying the bigger model. The 17 has a 280 watt power brick and 165 watt 3080 TI. I just think it is a lot better for being just a little bigger.

[@CreativeSteve69]

this was a great video as always Sir. I would love to see more of you growing learning houdini process. I also started learning houdini awhile back for the past 2-3 months now. would also love some unreal environment tutorials if possible if your up to that level yet. :)

[@markusstaden]

I wish the Razer Laptop had brighter Displays. I don't care about high refresh, but I want to be able to work everywhere, including outside

[@HappehLemons]

Houdini rendering has no GPU acceleration, you'd have to install a 3rd party one like Redshift to take full advantage here.

[@xXSpaceCowsXx]

it does. Karma is and its XPU rendering

[@jonathanformosa5392]

@@xXSpaceCowsXx Karma xpu is in Alpha so it still isn't ready, unfortunatly.

[@Feangar]

Its crazy how powerful laptops are getting, i recently upgraded to a laptop with a RTX 3050 mobile GPU and rendering/3d work its amazingly smooth on it

[@Feangar]

​@mayank jangid No, I'm a blender user and the jump from cycles to cyclesX at the same time upgrading my device made things very smooth/easy to use in comparison.

[@NazimZaki]

Hey that juggling animation is dope man.

[@Adrian890722]

So gutted the price jumped like £1k rly wanted to buy one this year, using a 10 year old pc to animate on sucks 😣

[@aronseptianto8142]

i'm afraid covid really do be hitting the computer space hard lately even the same computer parts you can buy used for 100$ now cost 300$ used normally i'd say wait it out until the shortage ease out but can't really tell when that'll happen

[@paolaanimator]

Great video! I'm excited to see your mocap work, I think you will love it. It's like recording a video but it's recording movements and it's really cool. I used a mocap suit in college before the pandemic and I loved it. I wish I have a mocap suit at home.

[@nicksantangelo6168]

Haha would love to see that constraint system for the juggling.

[@VyouttarOrigami]

I think you are the perfect person talking about laptops for artist! I'm intrested in "asus rog zephyrus duo" hopefully you give your thoughts about it! And compare the two! Big fan!

Hey Sir Wade, could you tell us how is the fan noise while working in Unreal? Razer is well knows for it's rocket engine fans :D

[@seanakima50515e]

I got a cool Dell laptop 5 years ago Retired it a year in and got a desktop

[@GojiCenter]

Forgive my ignorance but Would this Laptop also be good for working in after effects working with 2D animations as well? Looking to buy a laptop so I can do work remotely without having to be at home in my pc.

[@SirWade]

Definitely! But hold off until my video on Monday / Tuesday - Razer sent me a new version that I like WAY better, and I'd recommend this new one more. Also would be better for AE and 2D. That video will hopefully help your search :)

[@RobertSpiller]

Hey got a question for you...could you review and recommend a laptop for a beginner? Some for $1000 or less? Even $1,100 would be ok as well.

[@injectionAI]

i just wish they'd change the tramp stamp logo on the lid

[@FabiodeSaldanha]

We 3d designers dont really need the high refresh rate of a gaming laptop. But i guess there is no "perfect fitting laptop" for us and gaming laptops are the closest we get... right?

[@sacredgeometry]

That sounds like one big thermal throttle.

[@crashna7007]

sir wade, your channel is my personal mentor for my growth to know about all things in animation, i wanna ask why you rarely posting in these 10th months .. are you okay sir? i hope you have a good health

unfortunatly they did limit the CPU wattage on this laptop for thermals, it's a no go for me , i mainly render on corona 3ds max !

[@wesbit88]

Hi thanks for the video, I am looking to buy a Razer Blade 14 with an RTX 3080Ti to mainly do rendering in Escape or D5 and a bit of 3d modelling, I was wondering how this compares to an RTX 4060 which is pretty common for laptops in this range. The 3080Ti has 16Gb VRAM as opposed to the 8Gb of the 4060 so it should be a winner for rendering I would have thought but the 4060 is newer...have you got any thoughts on this? Thanks a lot!

[@abhayrajeev7216]

My 3060 laptop already feels superpowered lol

[@dawsoncjames]

I'm really interested in knowing how this stacks up against Asus M16.

[@robinfro3610]

[@GuyVanBogart]

What OctaneBench scores are you getting with this? Also, any chance you could share the raw data for the blender charts you show here comparing the desktop 3080 to this 3080 Ti Mobile chip? It's hard to tell how they compare with a line graph at such a large Y scale. Looks to be about 80% of the performance? Thanks in advance!

[@User-ty7jt]

Could you compare the RTX 3080 (mobile) and the RTX 3080 ti (mobile) in benchmarks and also in games? This would be interesting. I totally miss that here on KZbin.

[@24mjohnson]

I actually just purchased a evga rtx 3080 ti FTW3 for my desktop thats running ryzen 9 5950x with 128gb of ram. So hopefully that will be very good using Maya 2023 or blender etc.

[@Kram1032]

1:55 wow it's annoying as heck that these bar graphs are not sorted/colored the same way. They aren't even sorted by performance. What is the order they use?

[@SirWade]

I have no idea but it’s dumb

[@Tomas9970_1]

They are supposed to be in alphabetical order but for some reason Victor is at the top in the left graph.

[@soundofmetal]

I was in the need for a new computer for 3D since the one I had for 12 years died. Are workstations still the optimal choice for 3D modeling and animation? Sorry if my question seems outdated since I haven't had to buy a new computer since 2009.

[@TheNerd]

Yes. And yes Notebooks are A LOT slower than Workstations even if the product Name (in this case is 3080) is the same, its not the same Hardware inside.

[@TheoPantazi]

I would still opt for a desktop variant, for many reasons, including much broader upgrade options.

[@dingle2987]

Don’t buy Quadro cards for modeling or rendering. The only good thing you’re paying extra for them is the long term driver support and warranty. You want to render with a GPU as it is faster so go for a 3080 at least. You want a CPU with a high single threaded speed for best modeling performance.

[@soundofmetal]

@@dingle2987 If I was to go with a brand name computer, what brand would you recommend? I've always had Dell but they always ran hot.

[@52thephotoshop]

the thing to look at is power rating how many watts the GPU can pull and of course you only get that speed when plugged in

[@Axiasart]

With how expensive it's it better be that fast, I almost choked to its price

[@EricOlorunfemi]

I'm just excited for what Intel has planned this year. Laptops will be crazy...

[@Renzsu]

Yeah apparently their latest mobile CPU's are great (big step in efficiency and temps). Would be nice to test those in a work oriented laptop as a direct competitor to the Apple MBP's (gaming laptops always seem to compromise on temps / battery performance).

[@silversoul2785]

i was willing to buy a 3080 for my pc but never really knew how much its fast..... i know it is but not how much till I watched this, and now Iam really excited to buy it soon. i used the 1050 ti last year and now using the 940mx.

[@manuelcamino2633]

Awesome video, but just felt to me like an Nvidia (the sponsors) very long commercial rather than a proper review. Like with the RTX 3090 video, I can tell that you are honestly excited about this technology, but a proper review I would trust does go deeper than just talking about how amazing the product is. Is not that a commercial instead? With all, thanks for your videos. As 3D creator I really appreciate seeing this type of technology used for 3D creation rather than just videogames FPS, etc.

[@SirWade]

Fair points, though this wasn’t really meant to be a true review. For me, there’s a difference between the 3090 video and this because while I was provided both pieces of hardware by NVIDIA, I wasn’t paid for the 3090 video so it made sense to review it. I did get paid through a video sponsorship here, so this was more of a “check out this cool new tech!” and therefore more of a product showcase, which may feel a bit commercial-y if I fail to keep the video interesting enough. That said, I do plan on making an actual product review of my own for the laptop and hardware using requests and questions in the comments as a guide to what everyone is wondering :) It makes sense to me at least, hopefully it tracks for others!

[@wakabi2191]

I like the music montage

[@bluewavesoverfuji]

Razor Blade laptops are awesome, I'm typing on a Blade 15 (2018). BUTTttt.. make sure you have a solid warrenty and don't plan to move too far from the service centre / country where its located. If there's a problem. Whicccchhhh there may well be one.. you will need to post the laptop back and it could take a couple of weeks without your machine to receive the fixed product. I moved to another country and the battery expanded in the chassis to the point where I had to remove the battery completely. After sending photo evidence and explaining my situation they were asking me to send the machine back to my home country which was pretty much impossible as I was working from the system. I also had the webcam and built in mic fail and they still don't work. SoooOOo.. great machines but like any performance slim line product they are prone to failure. PS, the battery issue was likely due to inadequate cooling in the chassis and being in a tropical country.

[@adwaithbnair3606]

Blender,s metal which allows you to enable apple M1 chips still needs some improvement

They haven’t finished implementing Apple’s Metal submits, so I would expect performance to be miserable still. I think they are aiming for initial support in 3.1, and optimized support after that.

[@rudydeclarisse]

After owning a laptop and now a PC user, I noticed that though laptops are getting more and more powerful. There will always be a downside, the first one is the upgrade process, it's quite hard upgrading part on a laptop. The second one is the cleaning process, when dust gets in, it becomes a nightmare, too many screws and if you are not an expert you could be destroying a 2000 euros laptop. On the PC this process is so easier. 3days ago my pc was so dusty, all it took was 4 screws to remove the glass panel and a dust blower.

Not short-changed at all! Laptop GPU's do not perform as well as their desktop counterparts. They are gimped in lots of ways.
