GIGABYTE AERO 15 CLASSIC-XA Review

F1 2018

Codemasters’ F1 2018 is one good looking game, and extremely popular amongst driving fans. Testing was done at 1920×1080 using the Ultra preset with ASSAO filtering and TAA anti aliasing enabled. Essentially the settings were maxed out for the selected resolution. The track used was Australia with heavy rain.

AC Power

While plugged in, the GIGABYTE AERO 15 CLASSIC-XA managed an average of 95 FPS. The minimum frame rate dropped to 74 FPS, while the highest recorded was 106 FPS. This is more than high enough for a good experience, but if you want to take advantage of the extreme refresh rate offered by the screen you might want to consider lowering some settings. Given how good the game looks, this will be a contentious topic.

Battery Power

Swapping over to battery power results in slightly lower scores, with the average dropping to 59 FPS. Meanwhile, the lowest and highest were 65 and 53 FPS respectively, which is extremely consistent. Overall, the game remained perfectly playable and you shouldn’t need to lower any settings for a smooth experience.
