Sager NP 8170 3D Vision Review | Sager Notebook 3D Review
OVERVIEW
Gaming Laptop Review from Pemmz for Sager NP8170 which is equipped with a 17 inch screen and a 120Hz refresh rate monitor which means it can be combined with Nvidia 3D vision which is indeed a mainstay feature of the nvidia GTX series GPU. Sager Np 8170 is one of the gaming laptops that can be used Custom to the highest level. besides that, the basic connectivity is also very complete starting from USB 3.0, firewire 800, gigabit Ethernet, E-SATA, HDMI, DVI, Card reader, DVDRW, 7.1 sound card, fingerprint. almost every workstation connectivity is here. and because it supports 3d there is a built in Nvidia 3D vision receiver along with 3d vision glasses from nvidia. Here’s a review from Pemmz.
Sightings
Here’s a look at the Sager NP 8170.
From the perspective view we can see that the shape of Sager NP8170 looks elegant and exclusive, wrapped in black and an anti-scratch front panel and equipped with writing which is Logo from Sager with color Metallic silver add to the sweetness of this laptop.
From the left side, you can see some connectivity such as Caoxial antenna, 2x USB 3.0, 1xUSB 2.0, Firewire 800, Card reader, the placement of the USB connectors are also not too close together making it easier to use multiple USB devices at once.
From the right side, you can see the DVDRW optical driver, 7.1 front panel audio, 1x USB 2.0, security lock.
From the rear view, we can see that dual exhaust (where hot air comes out), Esata, HDMI, DVI, AC connector. Good circulation placement because it is placed at the back, so it does not interfere when we are using the mouse on the left or right because it is exposed to hot air that comes out.
when the laptop is opened it will look like in the picture, there is a palm rest that uses anti-scratch so it is easy to clean without worrying about scratching the laptop body, the existing touchpad also uses the same material as the existing palm rest, the left and right click buttons use the same material anti-slip for comfortable use, in the middle there is a fingerprint for security. The Sager NP8170 keyboard uses a ciklet and is a full desktop-style keyboard key, also equipped with shortcuts for multimedia using the func key.

Synthetic benchmarking
In 3d mark 2006 we can see the performance of the Sager NP8170, with a score as shown in the benchmark results, proving that we can play DX9 games comfortably on the laptop and the specifications used.
With 3d mark Vantage, we can measure the ability of a laptop or PC to play games on DX 10, and from the existing score, we can play DX10 games smoothly and optimally on Sager Np8170.
In 3d mark 2011 it can be seen that the resulting score is indeed small, but we can still play games on DX11 by setting the medium combination with adequate FPS.
Real gaming Test
Resident Evil 5
The Resident Evil 5 game takes advantage of the performance of the multi-core CPU and GPU so that you can say they support each other, until the performance describes the overall performance, in this test at FULL HD and high detail. This means that Resident Evil 5 can be played optimally with Sager NP8170.
Battlefield 3
In the Battlefield 3 game which is a Dirext X11 game, so the full HD resolution with High detail becomes very limited. we recommend for Nvidia GTX 560 using a resolution of 1600×900. As for Battlefield 3, it’s in the high detail preset. for Full HD you can Custom GPU to GTX 580M to make it more optimal.
Crysis 2
Crysis 2 is a DX9 game but there is a patch for DX 11 so you can play DX11 by installing patch 1.9 and patch DX11, for DX11 performance itself at full HD high detail it’s pretty good but drops at 26 fps, to be safe it’s better if we lower the resolution to 1600×900 for a more optimal gaming experience.
Skyrim
For Skyrim we can use the default auto preset at high and full HD resolution, Skyrim can be played comfortably without any obstacles.
3D Vision Test
As we said earlier, the Sager NP 8170 supports 3d Vision nvidia so you can play in 3d mode of course.
before we look at the performance of 3d vision we will do testing with a resolution configuration at 1280×720, medium preset, we do this because if you play games in 3d vision mode then work is 2x harder because he has to process 2x output to be able to produce 3d images, then that’s why you need a refresh rate at 120Hz. Let’s see how the result of 3d Vision.
We can see the performance of 3d vision when we lower the detailed resolution from FULL HD to HD 1280×720 and we set the game settings to a combination of medium and high. all of that to get performance commensurate with the resulting FPS to enjoy 3D games. Overall, the 3D performance is pretty good, and the new 3D experience is really fun.
Conclusion
The Sager NP8170 is one of the most portable gaming laptops and workstations custom and run the latest games both in fashion 2D or 3D even with a configuration that is not full but can still take you to a new experience on the screen 3D on your laptop. If you feel that performance with these specs is not enough for you, then you can configure this laptop to a higher GPU, for example, GTX 580M or AMD Radeon 6990M.
