    Running this UFO test: https://www.testufo.com/ghosting and recording the screen with a phone or camera (set to record at at least 60 FPS) and uploading the video to youtube. Similar to this (just a bit longer): This is to compare it to the newer model. The X170SM-G had overshoot/corona...

    Hello! Does anyone have the older Recoil laptop (Clevo x170sm-g) with 2080 Super (or slower) vga AND 300 hz G-Sync screen ? I would like to ask someone to check something but can't find anyone who owns this config, only the newer one (x170km-g) :(

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Clevo X170SM-G (17,3" RECOIL IV) review *in progress*

    Sorry for not continuing however I have discovered several defects. 1 of the issues probably requires a VGA change (major gpu core clock and voltage jumping). My RTX 2080 Super is performing at around RTX 2070 Super - RTX 2080 (non Super) level. Not to mention that there are a lot of games and...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Clevo X170SM-G (17,3" RECOIL IV) review *in progress*

    SPEAKERS The main problem with laptop speakers is the same as with speakers used in TVs (even in expensive OLED TVs): they are just a substitute until you get something better. There are laptops with decent ones like the Acer Predator G5, however there one ones that are absolutely garbage...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Octane VI 17.3" review

    PCS might not like me for posting benchmarks made by a rival Company but a competitor got these max temps for 9900k and RTX 2080 after 20 min 100% CPU and GPU stress testing. They used their own software to undervolt the CPU. (A software which is an alternative to the Clevo Control Center which...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Octane VI 17.3" review

    Can you please tell me how does the GPU core clock look while playing GPU intensive games like FC5 or BFV? Latest MSI and Asus laptops run the RTX 2080 with 1840-1890 MHz core clock while gaming. However I saw a video with the P775TM where the GPU clock was jumping between 1650 MHz and 1850...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Is the inverse ghosting issue still a thing for Clevo?

    Hello there! I have owned a CLevo P775DM3-G (don't remember it's Octane name) with GTX 1080 and LG 75 Hz IPS G-Sync panel. The problem was that when I had G-Sync enabled all games using DX12 API had black ghosting during movement. This was a driver issue, however I have tried 10 different...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Octane III (Clevo P775DM3-G) BIOS update

    Hey guys! I have purchased an Octane III (Clevo P775DM3-G) laptop which was shipped with BIOS 1.05.01 and EC 1.05.02. Since then many new BIOS versions have been released but unfortunately Clevo does not upload them for download and only sends them to the distributors and even amongst them, not...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Should you buy Dead Pixel Warranty?

    The shorts answer: YES Especially if you are planning to buy an Octane III or Vortex VI. The reason behind this is that for these laptops if you plan to go with an 1080p G-Sync panel PCS will use a LP173WF4-SPF1 and by my experience there seems to be an issue with the current LP173WF4-SPF1...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Broken G-Sync?

    Hey guys! I need some technical support for my Octane II Pro with GTX 980. I have a desktop PC with GTX 980 and G-Sync monitor and the experience in games is not quite the same. For example lower framerates on my dekstop look more fluid than on the laptop. Maybe its just the horrible refresh...
