[UPDATE] Razer Blade 15 ft. Intel 9th Gen processor

iDATUS
just to be clear its not the battery issue its when plugged into mains TS is saying its power usage is 12W as a comparison my RB15 1070 is like 1.2W

iDATUS
We are running all in Balanced mode, synaps and power plan.
Core 1 39
Core 2 37
Core 3 37
Core 4 36
Core 5 35
Core 6 35
CPU core and Cache offset -0.1250
Intel GPU offset -0.0400
So at those settings of the new 2019 model my friend is getting idle at 12W compared to my 2018 model of 1.2W
So is that normal or is there an issue?

Hi

Just to advise that I've swapped my 2018 4k/60Hz GTX 1070 Razer for a 2019 RTX 2080 144Hz/Hz

Big plus:
If anyone is thinking of the switch this thing runs MUCH cooler - where the old one even say just showing a citrix/Chrome window might spin up the fans - this one is silent/fanless until actually stressing out the CPU/GPU.

Okay:
I don't mind 1080 vs 4k to be honest. I spent most of the time on the 4k model wishing some less well-coded apps scaled their fonts properly.
I don't miss the touch-screen which I used only occasionally when touching/resizing photos. Maybe I'm just a die-hard mouse user.

Less good:
Compared to the 4k the black levels are less good.
Also I didn't realise just how easily I would notice the colour-gamut differences. Most easily seen on the "Razer-Green".
In Razer Synapse - where the Razer-green represented on screen on the 4k model would not look that different to the electric-green on the keyboard or razer logo on the back. Very bright and super-saturated. The 144Hz model is no-where near. Increasing the brightness just reduces the saturation.

Benchmarks
I'll update benchmarks shortly but on my first try of 3D mark the tool advised that the GPU drivers were not standard so wouldn't calc a score.

I think certainly the 2018 4k model I had was a bit of a unicorn - It would undervolt almost indefinitely without blue-screen/forceclosing (although I did note that past a sweet-spot of 140-150 that throttling/performance ceased to improve and then as volts decreased performance first ceased to improve and then from around 160 actually started to decrease)


Initial findings: Timespy
2018 4k 2070 NoUV NoOC 4914
2019 1080 2080 NoUV NoOC 7665

That’s great score. Do you mean overclocking gpu +180 on core and +250 on memory clock right?
Side note 2018 model isn’t 2070 but 1070, should i correct it again:smile_:

If you’ve good cpu silicons lottery try -150 or maybe -160mv undervolting usually on synthetic benchmarks it can go lower than gaming, and rtx Card memory frequency can be OC a lot, on egpu 2080 I can push it to max afterburner value 1000mhz, but you can maybe try 600 or 700mhz. And for Core Clock i thought you had +180 which’s great for 2080 on full desktop Evga 2080 on Razer Core i can only get 160. But if it’s +50 it should go higher.

Of course it’s not a “obligation“;) but some users stress their system first to know its limits and 3Dmark is great and fun to do than usual stress test because it has score achievement. In 2018 1070maxq we made magic 15K score, users try to catch that firestrike overall score, it was pretty fun. On daily usage I don’t use that 15K profile anyway, only sometimes for showing:wink_: Maybe for 2019 model magic 18,5K:smile_:
I think you don’t have to be worried if you don’t use it daily, even when it crash windows has automatic protection called bsod lol:big_grin_:

Erm

How do you recover from a BSOD that now goes to a black screen after the razer logo.
I presume Windows booted because keyboard chroma is operating. But no login (even no Windows hello ir camera) and no windows login page.

But even safe mode is dead.
