Provides excellent color performance, GeForce RTX 4070’s GIGABYTE AERO 16 OLED measured

This GIGABYTE AERO 16 with OLED panel is doing quite well!

After Razer Blade 16 with GeForce RTX 4090 and Intel Core i9-13950HX, we are going to take a look at GIGABYTE AERO 16 OLED, a notebook computer with GeForce RTX 4070 and Intel Core i9-13900H; GIGABYTE AERO 16 OLED is a Laptops with creator apps locked.

When it comes to creator laptops, the first thought that pops up is to have Thunderbolt 4, USB-C ports, a panel with excellent color performance, and a good design…etc. More likely, jump straight out of an Apple MacBook Pro…but some people can’t use the Mac OS operating system.

In principle, GIGABYTE AERO 16 OLED has a metal body, USB-C port with Thunderbolt 4 transmission capability, 4K+ resolution AMOLED panel and other specifications, which may meet the needs of many creators. Let’s start with The appearance of the GIGABYTE AERO 16 OLED notebook is introduced.

Metal materials often enhance the texture of a notebook computer. In addition to using aluminum alloy, the AERO 16 OLED also enhances the overall texture through CNC process and anodizing treatment.

In addition, you can also see the AERO Logo on the A part of the notebook plus the colorful treatment, so that it can present a psychedelic halo from different angles.

The I/O configuration of GIGABYTE AERO 16 OLED is on the left and right sides and the rear of the laptop respectively; the left part has USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C, microSD card reader with USH-II specification, and 3.5mm combo jack, and the right part has The Type-C port of Thunderbolt 4, and the DC-in, USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A and HDMI 2.1 output terminals can be seen on the rear part.

If it is a pity, it is that the number of USB Type-A ports is slightly insufficient, and the SD card reader is missing.

However, GIGABYTE has considered these specifications in product planning, but due to the limited space of the laptop, it can only make sacrifices in these I/O specifications. Compared with microSD, SD card may be a more commonly used photography storage medium for more people. If there is a chance in the next generation, we still expect to see more SD card readers than microSD card readers.

The AERO 16 OLED is paired with the Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210 wireless network card.

This notebook computer uses a 16-inch Samsung AMOLED UHD+ resolution panel (16:10, 3840 x 2400, 60Hz). In addition to the X-Rite (factory color calibration) + Pantone dual color calibration certification, it also has TÜV SÜD’s eyesafe, low blue light and Flicker-Reduce certification. The 100% DCI-P3 wide color gamut GIGABYTE AERO 16 OLED is also VESA DisplayHDR 600 True Black compliant.

In addition to a bunch of certifications about color performance, of course, the best viewing area must be provided, so the AERO 16 OLED has greatly reduced the black border, so that the black border on both sides of the screen is only 3mm.

Although the AERO 16 OLED is not equipped with Cherry MX switches, the long key stroke of 1.7mm makes it feel quite good when you actually type it; of course, the physical power button is also a bonus design.

It is also necessary to introduce the touchpad part, because its surface is made of glass, and nano-imprint lithography is added to make it appear “AERO” Logo at a special angle.

The D part of the notebook also has special processing and design, which greatly increases the heat dissipation efficiency. After all, GIGABYTE AERO 16 OLED uses Intel Core i9-13900H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 8GB GDDR6 independent display chips.

The Intel Core i9-13900H belongs to Raptor Lake-H, which is Intel’s 13th generation Core series processors. This processor has 6 + 8 cores (Performance + Efficient) with a total of 20 execution thread configurations, the highest clock speed (Intel Turbo Max) can reach 5.4GHz, and it is a 45W TDP product.

The same as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 we tested earlier, the GeForce RTX 4070 belongs to the Ada Lovelace architecture, adopts the TSMC N4 process, and belongs to the Laptop series.

The GeForce RTX 4070 with 8GB GDDR6 memory configuration has 4608 CUDA Cores, 24 SM Count, 96 Tensor Cores and 24 Ray Tracing Cores, and the GPU Subsystem Power of the notebook computer is between 35 – 115W.

GeForce RTX 4090 GeForce RTX 4080 GeForce RTX 4070 GeForce RTX 4060 GeForce RTX 4050
NVIDIA CUDA CORES 9728 7424 4608 3072 2560

GPU POWER 80 – 150W 60 – 150W 35 – 115W 35 – 115W 35 – 115W

The entire GeForce RTX 40 series GPU has 3-generation Ray Tracing Cores and 4-generation Tensor Cores specifications, and can bring players a smoother gaming experience through NVIDIA DLSS 3 technology.

Of course, the GeForce RTX 40 series with Ada Lovelace architecture has 2x 8th generation NVENC and 5th generation NVDEC.

GIGABYTE AERO 16 OLED can support up to 64GB DDR5 memory (32GB x2). In addition to a PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD pre-installed, a set of PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots are reserved for users to increase the storage capacity by themselves.

After the series specifications are introduced, let’s take a look at the performance of Intel Core i9-13900H with GeForce RTX 4070.

GIGABYTE AERO 16 OLED factory preset NVIDIA Studio driver, but this does not affect its game performance, but the GeForce RTX 4070 with 8GB GDDR6 memory configuration will encounter bottlenecks in the rendering of some 4K games and large scenes, so in the game test part we Performed at 1440p with special effects fully turned on.

The CPU of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is Intel Core i7-10870H; the processor of GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is Intel Core i7-12800H.

On the other hand, this time also provides the GPU Mux Switch function, allowing users to switch between Intel iGPU and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 by themselves.

GIGABYTE AERO 16 is equipped with a 240W transformer.

Although GeForce RTX 4070 8GB GDDR6 cannot run 4K resolution games smoothly, it is more than enough for games with 2560 x 1440 resolution, and with the unique DLSS 3 blessing of Ada Lovelace architecture, it can greatly improve the gaming experience online Less; however, only if the game supports DLSS 3.

Deducting no SD card reader (only microSD card reader), and fewer USB Type-A configurations and other restrictions forced to compromise due to space factors, Samsung AMOLED panels are used, plus factory pre-calibrated colors (X- Rite), the color performance of the GIGABYTE AERO 16 panel is quite excellent, and at the same time, it has a certain level in terms of performance, heat dissipation and weight of the laptop.

GIGABYTE AERO 16 is a notebook computer designed for creators. The combination of GeForce RTX 4070 and Intel Core i9-13900H processor is already the design limit of this notebook computer. If you want to use the GPU Upgrading to GeForce RTX 4080 is not impossible, but the thickness and weight of the notebook have to be sacrificed, which means that the entire notebook will be thicker and thicker in order to obtain good heat dissipation performance.

The ability to replace the memory and expand the PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD is also an advantage of this laptop.

This concludes the GIGABYTE AERO 16 test with Intel Core i9-13900H and GeForce RTX 4070, thank you for watching.
