The Razer Blade 15 got 90 fps at 1080p and 61 fps at 1440p. The Acer Predator played at 96 fps at 1080p and 62 at 1600p. When we ran the Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark (highest settings), the Alienware x15 R2 reached 84 fps at 1080p and 56 fps at 1440p. Although competitors weren't too far ahead, the Alienware once again was the slowest here. On the Red Dead Redemption 2 benchmark (medium settings), we saw the Alienware x15 R2 output 66 fps at 1080p and 44 fps at 1440p. The Lenovo Legion outpaced them with 81 fps and 53 fps at 1080p and 1440p, respectively.

The Acer Predator hit 70 fps at 1080p and 46 fps at 1600p the Razer Blade was just a few frames below that in both resolutions. These were the lowest frame rates in the test group. Lastly, the Lenovo Legion 5i Pro, outfitted with both the same CPU and GPU as our Alienware review unit, achieved 88 fps in 1080p and 70 fps in its native 2560 x 1600 resolution.ĭuring the Far Cry 6 (ultra settings) benchmark, the Alienware x15 R2 reached 66 fps at 1080p and 44 fps at 1440p. The Razer Blade 15 has the same RTX 3070 Ti as our review unit, with an Intel Core i7-12800H, and it reached 83 fps in 1080p and 69 fps in 1440p. The Acer Predator Triton 500 SE (outfitted with a stronger RTX 3080 Ti and i9-12900H) underperformed with 70 fps in 1080p and 66 frames in its native 2560 x 1600 resolution (1600p). When we ran Grand Theft Auto V’s benchmark at very high settings, the Alienware x15 R2 played at 76 frames per second at 1080p and 66 fps in native 1440p. Without DLSS and V-Sync activated, the game suffered screen tearing. When I turned on DLSS with V-Sync, I stayed at a consistent 60 fps in that location with little to no screen tearing while running and rotating the camera. While playing Control (highest settings) with Ray Tracing settings high at 1440p, the x15 wavered around 53 to 60 frames per second, zooming around the Central Executive area and tilting the camera in the opposite direction.

In our testing, these components allowed for strong gaming performances -although not the best- in 1080p and the screen's native 2560 x 1440 resolution (1440p).

Our configuration of the Alienware x15 has an Intel Core i7-12700H and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti with 8GB of GDDR6. How much it matters that nearly all the ports are on the back will largely depend on how you use your laptop, but it's certainly convenient at times to have some ports on the side, where they're found on many other gaming laptops. In the back, there’s a USB Type-A port, a Thunderbolt 4 port, a USB Type-C port with PowerDelivery and DisplayPort capabilities, a microSD card slot, and an HDMI 2.1 port. The power jack is the only port on the laptop's left side, and on the right, there’s a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Most of the ports are on the back of the laptop next to the vents, surrounded by a giant RGB light ring.
