HP Victus 16 (16-s0000, 2023) review – efficient and powerful thanks to the Zen 4 CPU
Performance: CPU, GPU, Gaming Tests
All benchmarks and tests were conducted with the Performance” profile activated in the Omen Gaming Hub. Also, the “Discrete” Graphics Mode is turned on.
CPU options
The CPU options are the following – AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS, Ryzen 5 7640H, Ryzen 7 7840HS, and Ryzen 7 7840H. We bought a laptop with a Ryzen 5 7640HS because this one is the smart choice. It has 12 threads and the same amount of cache as the Ryzen 7 siblings.
Here, we evaluate the CPU's performance using a real-world 3D rendering task, assessing its ability to handle complex computations and rendering workloads efficiently.
Results are from the Cinebench 2024 Multi-Core test (higher is better)
GPU options
Four GPU variants are available – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 (Laptop), GeForce RTX 4050 (Laptop, 120W), GeForce RTX 4060 (Laptop), and GeForce RTX 4070 (Laptop). We picked a machine with an RTX 4050 because this chip is still fast enough for 1080p gaming.
The results are from 3DMark Time Spy (Graphics). Higher is better.
Results are from 3DMark Fire Strike (Graphics) benchmark (higher the score, the better)
The results are from 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Unlimited. Higher is better.
Results are from the Unigine Superposition benchmark (higher the score, the better)
