Ionico 17 review

[Macco26]

It depends on Silicon Lottery, you can't do much.

New benchmark values with this update to power levels? Be interested to see how the firestrike score for this stacks up to the previous runs you've submitted!

 

[Macco26]

I've published the new Firestrike in the benchmark thread.
However Firestrike:

I scored 22 485 in Fire Strike

Intel Core i7-10875H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (notebook) x 1, 16384 MB, 64-bit Windows 10}

Timespy:

I scored 10 574 in Time Spy

Intel Core i7-10875H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (notebook) x 1, 16384 MB, 64-bit Windows 10}

They are not so much higher because for how 3Dmark works, it rarely pushes both CPU and GPU at the same time, so Dynamic Boost is enough to push GPU wattage when required, it's just in the combined short part it might be a difference.
New CC can also overclock GPU core/VRAM, a thing I haven't done yet, though.

Hi do you know if the display is HDR and how many nits ? (elimina pro and ionico)

 

[Macco26]

It's no HDR, and it goes above 300, like 320 or so, that's what I've seen by many reviewers of same panel (but on different System integrators).
You can get an idea by YT search for 'Jarrod 1440p', with a video of last December for the same 15 and 17 1440p panels used here.

Hi How can you upgrade to the new CC 3.9.18

Contact PCS

PCS offers 3.1.23 now if you want, you should try it in your accont's download portal. You should be fine if you're ok with disabled PL limits in Office mode (people had told me).

Sorry mate I'm not deliberately hounding you.

I just want to point out to anyone reading this as it is important, just because the version of CC you are referring too comes from the same OEM does not mean it is compatible with the Ionico.

The OEM configures each chassis as per the specification of each system reseller. This means they have to configure CC individually for each system reseller.

The CC v3.9.18 which is currently out in the wild has not been configured for the Ionico which is one of the reasons people on this forum will tell users to stay away from it.

PCS Control Center

Hello guys, I installed newer version of Control Center to 3.9.18.0 (Older was 3.1.6.0) But I'm not sure the stability of the new CC version is good with my current BIOS version. I've had to uninstall 3.9 and to go back to 3.1 but 3 or 4 minutes after reboot Windows, PCS Control Center's version...
