Full blood strength meets expectations Lenovo rescuer R9000P 2021 evaluation

RTX thirty Gamebook Since the official launch of the new product, the biggest dispute among users is the performance degradation caused by the "power consumption shrinkage" of the graphics card.

Compared with the RTX 20 series video card, the RTX 30 series video card has greatly improved its ray tracing performance. However, since the Max-Q version video card still exists, although it may be the same as the RTX 3070 and RTX 3060, the number of frames it can provide when facing the ray tracing game is significantly different. For example, the Max-Q version of the RTX 3070 stand alone display has almost the same actual performance as the standard version of the RTX 3060. Especially when the Max-Q version of the graphics card model is no longer clearly marked with "Max-Q", this has caused great trouble to users who want to buy the RTX 30 stand alone game book.

Against this background, a considerable number of users are waiting for the arrival of Lenovo's savior. Because in recent years, the performance tuning of the Saver series can be said to be the ceiling of the game industry. With the same configuration, there are few models whose hardware performance can surpass that of the rescuer. However, when the performance is equal, the savior will take the upper hand in the heat dissipation, which makes us look forward to the savior series of RTX 30 platform.

Recently, we finally got the latest model of the Rescuer series - R9000P 2021. As the title of the article has been "spoiler", it is full of blood and can live up to expectations. you 're right! The R9000P 2021 has not shrunk. It can be said that the strength of the Sharp Dragon 5000 series processor and RTX 30 graphics card has been fully demonstrated to us.

Next, let's take a look at Lenovo through evaluation Rescuer R9000P 2021 What kind of experience can it bring to users?

The configuration of the Rescuer R9000P 2021 I got this time is as follows:

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H
Memory: 2 × 8GB DDR4
Hard disk: 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU
Screen: 16 inch/2560 × 1600/165Hz/500nits fog surface IPS screen
Network: Wi Fi 6 AX201

Complete machine configuration list

·Classic design goes beyond games

Lenovo Saver R9000P 2021 The appearance design maintains the consistent style of the series, and the mold can be seen as a modification of the R7000P launched last year. A large and conspicuous "Y" logo is designed in the middle of the A side, and the round part is removed. After starting up, it will show a white backlight. At the same time, ridges are designed at the left and right sides, which makes the A side of R9000P 2021 look more three-dimensional than the plane of R7000P.

The rear area of the machine has also been morphologically adjusted. The air outlets on the left and right sides and the interface area in the middle have increased the sense of dislocation. The "sports car" air outlet design common in the game book has been adopted. It can be said that the overall appearance design style of R9000P 2021 maintains the series tradition, but it is more dynamic overall.

When the screen is opened, R9000P 2021 is considered as a relatively thin product from the side, and the wedge design is adopted in the area near the front end of the fuselage edge, which gives a sense of "thin" from the visual perception. Its body weight is about 2.58kg, and it is 21.7mm thin. Although it is a 16 inch product, its portability is relatively good.

Its screen is located above the fuselage, and the maximum opening and closing angle is about 120 °. Its screen adopts an ultra narrow side full screen design, with a 165Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 500nits. Its resolution is 2K (2560 × 1600), and the screen scale is 16:10, which makes the vertical view wider.

In terms of display quality, this screen can achieve 100% sRGB color gamut coverage, support Dolby Vision, support HDR 400, support G-Sync/FreeSync Premium, and still use DC stroboscopic dimming, pass the Rhine Low Blue Light certification, and also support X-Rite color management.

From the perspective of screen configuration, Lenovo may not want to limit the positioning of R9000P 2021 only to game books. The 16:10 ratio, high color gamut coverage and manageability of color display endow this product with good productivity attributes and creative design attributes.

The interface of R9000P 2021 is mainly arranged at the tail of the fuselage. The left side of the fuselage is equipped with a USB 3.2 Gen 2 TYPE-C interface, which supports DP1.4 video transmission. In addition, it is also equipped with a 3.5mm headset jack. The right side of the fuselage is equipped with a camera switch and a USB 3.2 Gen 1 TYPE-A interface.

The rear of the fuselage is equipped with an Ethernet port, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 TYPE-C interface supporting PD charging protocol, two ordinary USB 3.2 Gen 1 TYPE-A interfaces, one HDMI 2.1 interface, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 TYPE-A interface supporting power off charging, and power socket.

The design of the whole C side of the Rescuer R9000P 2021 is consistent with the previous products of the R series. The power key is located in the top square middle area of the C side, which supports backlighting and is small in size.

In terms of keyboard, the rescuer R9000P 2021 still has a very good sense of percussion. Full size keycaps with proper spacing can effectively prevent accidental touch. In addition, the rescuer R9000P 2021 has not compromised on the design of direction keys, and all four keys use full-size keycaps. Although this seems to make the entire keyboard area appear asymmetrical, it is a very practical design for users.

As a large size game book, the Rescuer R9000P 2021 also brings an independent digital keypad, providing great convenience for users.

The touch panel area of the Rescuer R9000P 2021 also adopts an integrated design, which makes the overall feel smooth and soft, with precise control. It is also worth mentioning that even if the fingers are not wiped clean with water, there will be no obstacles when using this touchpad, and it can still achieve a very smooth operation. This detail must be praised.

·Excellent processor performance

After looking at the appearance design, let's take a look at the most expected part of this product - performance.

At the beginning of the article, I have introduced the hardware configuration of the evaluation product in detail, so I will not repeat it here. Let's go straight to the main topic.

The rescuer R9000P 2021 sent for testing is equipped with AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor, which is an 8-core 16 thread mobile level processor with strong multithreading performance. Based on the Zen 3 architecture and TSMC 7nm FinFET process, it is the highest model in the Ryzen 7 5000 series. Its three-level cache reaches 16MB, the reference clock frequency is 3.2GHz, the maximum acceleration clock frequency is 4.4GHz, the default TDP is 45W, and the cTDP is 35-54W. Let's take a look at the performance level of this processor through testing?

The first is the single core and multi-core performance evaluation of CPU-Z. From the test, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor has a single core score of 515.4 and a multi-core score of 5824.6. Compared with the previous generation, that is, the R7 4800H, the single core and multi-core performance has improved to a certain extent.

In the CINEBENCH R15/R20 test standard, the processor R15 has a single core score of 234cb and a multi-core score of 2144cb; The R20 has a single core score of 550cb and a multi-core score of 5043cb, which has significantly improved the single core and multi-core performance compared with the previous generation of products.

In the GeekBench 5 test standard, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor has a single core score of 1424 and a multi-core score of 8386. It can also be seen that it has significantly improved compared with the previous generation of products.

As an 8-core processor, the efficiency of AMD Ryzen 7 5800H in application is also of great concern. So let's take a look at the efficiency of this processor in video coding and V-Ray rendering?

First, H.264 Benchmark In the test, rendering 2500 Frames takes only 40 seconds, and the video coding efficiency is excellent.

V-Ray is a very useful renderer, and V-Ray Benchmark can evaluate the physical rendering capability of the processor. Through the test, we can see that the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor rendering sampling result is 9097 vsamples, and the overall performance is excellent, which can be competent for heavy physical special effect rendering tasks.

From various tests, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, whether as a game processor or a productivity processor, can be well qualified for computing tasks with high load. It has brought efficient computing power to the rescuer R9000P 2021.

·130W full blood RTX 3060 display alone

After the launch of the RTX 30 series game book, because many manufacturers did not explain in advance and NVIDIA cancelled the "Max-Q" logo, the Max-Q version of the model once caused great controversy among users, and people also tried to avoid buying Max-Q graphics cards when purchasing products.

As a benchmark brand for performance tuning in recent years, the new generation of Savior series has lived up to expectations. The whole line is equipped with full-blown RTX 30 graphics cards, providing users with extremely reliable performance support.

Taking the rescuer R9000P 2021 of this test as an example, the maximum power of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU equipped with it reaches 130W, and the performance potential can be fully released. The GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU has 3840 stream processors, supports 6GB GDDR6 video memory, has a bus bandwidth of 192bit, a core frequency of 900MHz, a video memory frequency of 1750MHz, and a Boost frequency of 1425MHz. Although it is the "entry model" of the Ampere architecture video card, its performance has improved dramatically compared with the RTX 2060.

Let's take a look first 3DMark Software Score of:

We tested three modes: Time Spy, Port Royal and FireStrike Extreme, and the video card scores were 8923, 5161 and 10332 respectively. These scores show that the graphics performance of the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU is almost the same as that of the previous generation RTX 2080 Super Max-Q. When dealing with most current games and light chase games, it can bring more smooth picture experience to players.

·Smooth game experience

How does it perform in the actual game? Let's take a look at the game testing.

The first game tested is《 Assassin's Creed : Hall of the Spirit ". During the test, we adjusted the image quality to extremely high, turned off the FPS limit, turned off vertical synchronization, and adopted the default resolution of 2560 × 1600, which also means that the rescuer R9000P 2021 will face greater graphics performance challenges.

From the test results, when the rescuer R9000P 2021 ran the Benchmark of Assassin's Creed: Hall of the Spirit, the minimum frame number was 17 fps, and the maximum was 96 fps. The frame rate curve for most of the time throughout the whole process was in the high range, and the final average frame number was 42 fps. You can play the game smoothly at 2K resolution. If you want to pursue a higher frame rate, you just need to adjust the resolution to FHD to get a smooth experience of more than 60fps.

The second game to be tested is Wild Dart 2. The default image quality options are all adjusted to the highest level, and the resolution is still 2K. Let's see the test results.

From the actual frame rate performance, the frame rate fluctuation of the Rescuer R9000P 2021 running Wild Escort 2 is very stable, the lowest is 44fps, the highest is 48fps, and the average is 45fps. The game can also run smoothly.

The third test game is Total War: Three Kingdoms. Due to different playing mechanisms, Total War: The Three Kingdoms requires higher processor performance than other games most of the time, because in the battlefield mode, the confrontation between arms, the running track of cold weapon projection, and the particle effects of fire all require real-time computing by the processor.

During the test, we turned on the game image quality to the highest, and adjusted the troop size option to the highest. Let's see the test results below:

In battlefield mode, processor performance determines whether you will feel stuck when playing. The average frame number of the game run by Rescuer R9000P 2021 is 36.6fps, which can run smoothly. But obviously, if the resolution is lowered, the game experience will be better.

In the unparalleled military commander mode, the processor performance dependence is also obvious. The average frame rate can reach 49.1 fps, and the minimum frame rate can be kept above 45 fps, which can run smoothly.

In the big map mode, the performance dependence of the graphics card is higher than that of the processor. The average smoothness is 45.4fps, and the overall performance is very good. If the resolution is adjusted to FHD, the overall frame rate will be higher.

The last game tested was Cyberpunk 2077, which mainly tested the ability of the rescuer R9000P 2021 to deal with the light chase game. Before the test, we set the light tracing level to Super, the DLSS option is the default "Automatic", and the resolution is still the default 2K of the machine.

It can be seen that when DLSS is automatic, the average frame rate of the game is basically maintained at about 40fps.

If the DLSS is changed to the "Performance" mode, the average frame rate can be increased to about 60fps in the same scene.

When the DLSS is in "performance mode", the rescuer R9000P 2021 can run Cyberpunk 2077 to achieve an average fluency of 58fps, and can achieve such a high frame rate at 2K resolution, indicating that the configuration of AMD Ryzen 7 5800H and RTX 3060 Laptop GPU should not be too stressful for light chase games.

·Excellent overall performance

Finally, let's look at the performance of storage performance, comprehensive performance and cooling performance.

In terms of hard disk, Lenovo Rescuer R9000P 2021 is equipped with 512GB PCIe SSD. When the queue depth=32 and the number of threads=1, it is measured that 3432.6MB/s is read continuously and 2695.3MB/s is written continuously; When queue depth=1 and number of threads=1, 48.87MB/s will be read at 4K and 157.3MB/s will be written at 4K. The hard disk performance is quite good, reaching the current level of high-end PCIe 3.0 SSDs.

In terms of comprehensive performance, we used the Extended mode of PCMark10 to evaluate it. From the results, we can see that Lenovo Saver R9000P 2021 scored up to 9539 points in common basic functions, including Web browsing, video conferencing, application startup, etc. This score is good among current similar products; In the productivity project test, the score was 9240, indicating that he had no pressure to complete the spreadsheet and document work; In terms of digital content creation, thanks to GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU's unique good graphics performance, its score reached 9513 points, indicating that it has no pressure to complete pictures, videos, graphics rendering and other work; In addition, its game performance score is up to 16448 points, indicating that it can meet the needs of various mainstream games at present. To sum up, as a game book, Lenovo Saver R9000P 2021 has comprehensive performance.

·Reliable cooling experience

In terms of heat dissipation, the Savior series in recent years has always been reassuring. How does the R9000P 2021 perform this time?

Those who are familiar with Lenovo game books know that the Saver series can quickly switch the performance mode through the Fn+Q shortcut key. During the test, we chose the "beast mode" with the most sufficient performance release, and tested it through AIDA 64 and Furmark with a CPU single toaster and a CPU+GPU double toaster.

stay AIDA64 In the single copy machine test, the processor power release was stable at around 64.9W, the core frequency was stable at 3.66GHz, and the average core temperature could be controlled to 85.4 ℃. The overall heat dissipation performance was excellent, and we can see that the processor TDP release did not shrink, which is not difficult to understand why it can perform well in all scores.

In the test of AIDA64 and Furmark dual toasters, the processor power release was stable around 44.84W, the core frequency was 3.16GHz, and the processor core temperature was controlled at an average of 89.4 ℃. At the same time, we also saw that the rescuer R9000P 2021 was equipped with a 130W RTX 3060 display. In this case, the average temperature of its graphics card was controlled at 84.8 ℃, and the overall performance was still very reliable.

·Evaluation summary

Lenovo Saver R9000P 2021 has two new products with different configurations. In addition to the 130W power consumption RTX 3060 version, the high configuration model also carries the 140W power consumption RTX 3070 unique display, and also reaches the "full blood" level in terms of processor performance release, which makes the Saver series still one of the products with the best comprehensive performance release at present.

At the same time, it can be seen from the evaluation that the Lenovo rescuer R9000P 2021 still maintains a high level of thermal adjustment in addition to maintaining the high performance release of hardware, and does not deliberately thicken the fuselage in the overall design to seek better heat dissipation, but achieves efficient heat dissipation through the cooperation of the entire cooling system.

In general, when many products use the "residual blood version" graphics card without explicit instructions, Lenovo Saver Series still maintains the high standard of the series with its excellent industrial design and good performance tuning, which is the most worthy product for users. Everyone, there is no waiting in vain!
