Vi har sen länge varit tydliga med vad vi tycker om SLI. För spelsyften har SLI alltid varit en blandad upplevelse. Ankomsten av DX12 i synnerhet har gjort SLI ännu svårare att rekommendera då detta API nu delegerar optimering för flera GPU:er till varje individuell utvecklare snarare än till Nvidia. Pålitligt SLI-stöd har på grund av detta blivit väldigt osäkert och mediokra prestandatest-siffror stärker den uppfattningen. Användare som vill ha SLI i en laptop borde ha en väldigt specifik anledning att skaffa sig denna teknik då den extra GPU:n i många fall kan bli värre än bara extra tyngd.
Med det sagt så har Eurocom Sky X9C snabbt toppat dom flesta av prestandatesterna i vår databas på grund av sin extrema konfiguration och Core i7-8700K. Dess modulära komponenter och breda hårdvarustöd är fortfarande höjdpunkten med att äga en Eurocom framför alternativ från mer välkända tillverkare.
Samma nackdelar som med nästan alla Eurocom-laptops vi testat kvarstår. Den väldigt täta prestandaprofilen för med sig högt fläktljud (54 dB(A)), väldigt varma kärntemperaturer (>85 C), hög vikt (5.6 kg) och kort batteritid som i princip kan mätas i minuter. Även om vikt och batteritid inte är viktiga faktorer för en spellaptop så begränsar dom varma kärntemperaturerna påtagligt potentialen för överklockning och det höga fläktljudet är en fiende vid spelande precis lika mycket som något annat hinder på skärmen. Vi kan inte låta bli att undra hur detta system hade presterat om man tog bort SLI och minskat antalet kylrör för dess CPU och GPU. Vi vågar gissa att dom resulterande lägre temperaturerna, tystare fläktarna, högre Boost-klockfrekvenserna och den större potentialen för överklockning hade lett till bättre spelprestanda även om de syntetiska prestandatest-poängen hade varit längre än hos en SLI-konfiguration.
En del aspekter hos höljet och mjukvaran verkar fast i det förflutna. Avsaknaden av individuellt upplysta RGB-knappar blir allt svårare att förlåta och skärmens inre plastinfattning känns fortfarande billig jämfört med en Alienware-design. Kontrollcentret och överklockningsverktygen fokuserar mer på att skapa ett attraktivt "Fisher-Price" GUI med stora typsnitt snarare än ett rent gränssnitt med inställningar som är lätta att nå och inte är gömda under ett flertal fönster. Funktioner som faktiskt är mer användbara för gamers såsom datainspelning, videoinspelning, direkt RPM justering/avläsning för varje fläkt och prestanda-overlay saknas fortfarande i den förinstallerade mjukvaran.
För den totalt sett bästa spelupplevelsen är det nog bättre att konfigurera Sky X9C med ett enkelt GTX 1080 och sen överklocka det. Mer budgetmedvetna gamers kan i princip få samma spelprestanda från en mindre krävande 45 W HQ-processor då dom flesta titlar inte är begränsade av CPU:n. Se till att du har ett bra par hörlurar när du spelar!
