MSI's GT72 Dominator (49 fps) was also better than the Alienware, but not quite as high as the Eon. By comparison, Origin's Eon17-SLX reached a much higher 57 fps on ultra at full HD. When we played Metro: Last Light at 1920 x 1080 and ultra settings, the Alienware 17 mustered 37.17 fps, which dropped to an unplayable 11.92 fps at 3840 x 2160. MSI's GT72 Dominator Dragon Edition (2,411) was also faster than the Alienware, but not to the same degree as Origin's notebook. Acer's 980M-equipped Predator 17 was slightly ahead at 2,312, but Origin's Eon17-SLX (3,350), which features a true 980 GPU, was on another level. On 3DMark's Fire Strike Ultra graphics test, the Alienware 17 scored 2,270. However, for those hoping to take advantage of the Alienware 17's 4K display, you'll have to turn settings down to low. But the Alienware is a whole lot cheaper, and still offers solid performance at 1920 x 1080. Even with 8GB of vRAM, the Alienware 17's Nvidia 980M GPU simply isn't as powerful as the non-mobile desktop GPUs featured in gaming notebooks from Origin and MSI. That's better than the Eon17-SLX (0.9) and Predator 17 (1.4), but not the GT72 Dominator Pro (0.7). Results were closer for color accuracy, though, with the Alienware notching a Delta-E of 0.83. Gaming and Graphics - Very Good, But Not the Best The Origin Eon17-SLX (114 percent), the MSI GT72 Dominator Pro (114 percent) and the Acer Predator 17 (116 percent) were bunched up in a pack behind the Alienware.Īlienware's answer to systems like the Origin PC Eon17-SLX and the MSI GT72 Dominator Dragon Edition, which feature desktop-level Nvidia 980 GPUs, is its $300 Graphics Amplifier. The 17 also topped its competition in color range, with an sRGB range of 173.5 percent. With a brightness of 318.6 nits, the Alienware 17 beat out the screens from Origin's Eon17-SLX (275 nits), MSI's GT72 Dominator Pro Dragon Edition (288 nits) and Acer's Predator 17 (307 nits).
