I was surprised to see it hover around 36FPS in NYC using the external camera view, and around 45-55FPS using the cockpit camera view.

I decided to install FS2020 to see how it would perform with the relatively limiting stock 8GB of RAM. I added a few pictures to the original imgur post showing the BIOS setting, GPU-Z results, RDR2 results, and Unigine Heaven results. I ran GPU-Z during the RDR2 benchmark and the max GPU Board Power Draw was 92W with a max GPU Chip Power Draw coming in at 70.4W. Next I ran Unigine Heaven 4.0, resulting in 77.6 FPS with a score of 1954.

End result, 67.38 average FPS per the in-game benchmark at the native 1080P resolution. This wasn’t an option in the Evoo BIOS so I’m happy to see it here.Īfter enabling Gaming Mode in the Gateway Control Center software, disabling Optimus and forcing the 2060, I fired up RDR2 and tuned the settings to match the Hardware Unboxed Optimized settings located here. The BIOS has the setting to disable NVIDIA Optimus Hybrid GPU switching and instead force either the Intel Integrated GPU or the NVIDIA Dedicated GPU.

I’m on the fence as to whether or not I’ll keep this, as I was hoping to have the advertised Windows Hello support and thought for a brief moment the 2060 in this was the debunked 2060 Super Mobile Given the current price, I’d recommend waiting until the prices on these drop as they did the two previous years. And yes, there’s a warranty sticker covering one of the bottom case screws like the Overpowered and Evoo models. Also, Gateway’s product page advertises this model with a fingerprint reader for Windows Hello and I confirmed no Windows Hello hardware exists in Settings. Both list 8GB of vRAM which struck me as odd and indeed I quickly confirmed it’s 6GB.
Other notes of interest are some typos in advertising on the Gateway and Walmart product pages. Keyboard looks to be lifted straight from the Evoo with similar/same keycaps but instead the Gateway has single zone RGB backlighting and keys seem to have a bit more clicky sound to them compared to the Evoo.Ĭomparing it to stock pictures of the Eluktronics RP-15, it appears to be the same chassis. The cow-themed box is quite nostalgic, and the build quality feels as good as any other Tongfang chassis, with a metal lid and keyboard deck, and a plastic bottom cover. The press release does say that other Gateway-branded models will launch this year, so I wonder if they’ll offer a 17” model at some point, or even higher end versions of the existing Intel and Ryzen models.
Last years’ higher end spec Evoo came with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Interestingly, this higher end spec only comes with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. Walmart is also selling a Ryzen 5 4600h-based model with a GTX1650 for $799 If you will be gaming, what are the most demanding games you will play and at what settings? Text hereĪs I’ve had mostly positive experiences with Walmart’s Overpowered and Evoo branded Tongfang models, I decided to pick up their current top spec Gateway Creator 15.6” i5-10300h model with a RTX2060 GPU currently selling for $999.
