Asus ZenBook Pro Duo UX581GV-H2036T (15.6 Inch 60Hz 4K UHD Touchscreen/ScreenPad Plus/9th Gen Intel Core i7 9750H/32GB RAM/1TB SSD/Windows 10/Nvidia RTX 2060 6GB Graphics)

CPU: 9th Gen Intel Core i7-9750H

The Intel Core i7-9750H is a high-end processor for Gaming laptops. The six cores processor comes with 12 Threads and is based on the Coffee Lake architecture. The 9750H has a base clock of 2.6 GHz and the clock speed can be turbo boosted to up to 4 GHz (with 6 cores) or 4.5 GHz (one core). When compared to its previous generation, the 9750H sees a slight improvement in L3 cache and clock speeds. Intel has specified a TDP of 45 watts, therefore the i7 is only suited for bulkier Gaming Laptops with good cooling solutions. The CPU can also be configured to 35 Watt using cTDP-down, resulting in reduced performance.

Performance

The Intel Core i7-9750H is comparable to the older Core i7-7820HQ when it comes to single-core performance. However, the latest i7 9750H Coffee Lake CPUs offer a Hexa core configuration therefore you will see up to 50% faster results in multithreaded benchmarks when compared to the i5 9300H.

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile

The RTX 2060 is based on a 12 nm manufacturing process with a TGP between 80 – 90 Watts. The 6 GB Graphics Card comes with a GDDR6 memory which is clocked at 14 GHz with a 192-bit memory interface that creates a bandwidth of 336 GB/s and comes packed with features such as DLSS ( Deep Learning Super Sampling ) and Ray tracing which creates more realistic lighting and shadow effects The RTX 2060 can be seen in both mid-range and high-end laptops and is a fast gaming graphics card. The RTX 2060 mobile is based on its desktop counterpart but with a 30 percent reduction in clock speeds and a 50 percent reduction in power consumption. The RTX 2060 Mobile performance is similar to that of the GTX 1070 Desktop variant and is just slightly better than the GTX 1660Ti Mobile. The RTX 2060 Mobile is best suited for Gaming at 1080p with ultra settings but we don’t recommend the use of ray tracing for most games.

How is the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo UX581GV-H2036T for Gaming?

The Asus ZenBook Pro Duo UX581GV-H2036T is only capable of handling most AAA titles at ultra settings. The limitation is the 4k resolution and 60Hz refresh rate. The following benchmarks are for the RTX 2060 mobile.
