Aorus X5 Gaming Notebook Offers Ultra HD in a 15.6-inch Package

btarunr · Jan 13, 2015

Aorus X5 is the company's latest gaming notebook, featuring one of the industry's sharpest displays, based on the IGZO technology. This 15.6-incher offers Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) display resolution. Driving the display is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M SLI setup, with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory per GPU. Based on the GM204 silicon, the GTX 965M features 1024 CUDA cores running at 945 MHz, and a 128-bit wide GDDR5 memory bus, running at 5.00 GHz. Our educated guess is that GTX 965M SLI should offer performance comparable to a single, overclocked GTX 980, if not more. By Aorus' own benchmarks, this notebook yields P12000 in 3DMark 11. Other chops of the Aorus X5 include a Core i7 CPU, up to 32 GB of dual-channel memory, M.2 SSD storage, 2.29 cm thickness with the lid closed, and just under 2.5 kg of weight.

I just dont understand that if something like this already exists, why is 4k for like televisions and conventional monitors still so far off?

Not really impressed....I mean hardware wise it's awesome. But a 15 inch UHD display...isn't going to look all that amazing.

The advantage is probably that you would be able to play games without using any anti aliasing and such with still good looking graphics.

This is true, I have been turning off AA and such and just cranking everything else.
