In recent years, HP has made great efforts in the game PC market, and launched its own Shadow Genie series notebook and desktop host. I believe that everyone should be familiar with the former. Shadow Genie game is the only high-end game series of HP at present, and it has no price advantage over competitors. The latter, as the high-end host of Shadow Genie, rarely shows up. The HP OMEN 900 series game console brought to you by the author today is the highest configuration of HP Shadow Genie desktop console. The luxury specifications of two GTX1080+i7 6700K models make its price daunting. Now let's see what the monster level console can do.

Specifications

CPU: Intel Core i7 6700K (default frequency: 4.0GHz, rui frequency: 4.2GHz)

GPU: NVIDIA public GTX1080 SLI

Memory: Hynix 8GB 2133MHz DDR4 * 4 (32GB in total)

Hard disk: Samsung SM951 512GB SSD+Seagate 3TB 7200 RPM mechanical hard disk

System: Windows 10 64 bit

Interface: HDMI*4、DP*6、DVI*2、USB 3.0*8、 Network cable interface, WiFi amplifier interface, microphone vent, 3.5mm headphone port, USB Type-C * 2, SD card slot, power interface.

appearance

HP OMEN 900 adopts a square appearance design. The chassis is made of all metal. There are four adjustable RGB square lights on the front, an exclusive logo RGB light of Shadow Genie series on the bottom, and a metal tripod for support on the bottom. After the power key is turned on, HP OMEN 900 will first turn on the red light, which is also the theme color of Shadow Genie series.

After entering the system, the RGB light of HP OMEN 900 starts to show the RGB color breathing light status, instead of the red breathing light during startup, while the shadow genie logo light at the bottom remains red.

I personally think that the red light before HP OMEN 900 started up is more consistent with HP's Shadow Genie series, while the colorful RGB light after starting up is not so full. But don't worry, HP OMEN 900 system has built-in software that can adjust RGB light color, so users can customize the color of light according to their own preferences.

The HP OMEN 900 is 50.5 x 40.5 x 51.5cm in circumference and weighs more than 28KG. It is definitely not a "despised" guy. We can see densely distributed cooling holes on the side and front of the chassis.

The whole host is very large, but its design is very special. It has a quick pull hard disk position on the side of the chassis. Push the Lock tab beside it, and you can directly pull out the mechanical hard disk position. Of course, this place can not only put mechanical hard disks, but also can put SSD of SATA port. The 3TB Seagate hard disk of HP OMEN 900 host is placed in the upper left hard disk bit.

performance

3DMARK Fire Strike Ultra

VRMARK Orange Room

PCMARK Creative accelerated

Even if the author doesn't mention it, you should also think that the i7 6700K+GTX1080 SLI configuration is extremely powerful in terms of performance, reaching 8890 points in the 3DMARK Fire Strike Ultra, about 4900 points in the single GTX1080, about 4000 points in the GTX1070, and about 3000 points in the GTX1060. It can be said that the GTX1080 SLI can take all games with high special effects at 4K resolution. In the process of running 3DMARK Fire Strike Ultra, the CPU problem is not very high. The median temperature is about 64 °, and the GPU is 82 °.

However, its performance in VRMARK is not as eye-catching as that of 3DMARK. VRMARK does not have good support and optimization for SLI at present. The GTX1080 SLI only achieved 9659 points, while in fact, the score of a single GTX1080 can also be close to 1W. It can be said that there is almost no gap between the performance of SLI and that of a single card. Obviously, VRMARK did not let the GTX1080SLI play its real strength. This is not only reflected in its scores that are no different from the single card GTX1080, but also its temperature is very low. The CPU and GPU remain at less than 60 ° throughout the whole process. In the 3DMARK Fire Strike Ultra, the GPU temperature is as high as 82 °.

PCMARK Creative accelerated is different from VRMARK and 3DMARK. It tests the comprehensive office performance of the whole machine. In the test, HP OMEN 900 achieved good results. The score of Creative accelerated project reached 8227 points.

SSD

The SSD model of HP OMEN 900 is Samsung SM951 512G. According to the test results, this performance is basically consistent with the performance of SM951

Tomb Raider: Rise

4K Tomb Raider: Rise has the highest special effect of 4xSMAA

4K Tomb Raider: Rise has the highest special effect of 1xSMAA

4K Tomb Raider: Rise has the highest special effect, and anti aliasing is turned off

In the game Tomb Raider: Rise, we use its own Benchmark for testing. Under the highest 4K resolution and configuration, 4xSMAA, 1xSMAA and anti aliasing are tested respectively. As you can see, in the case of 4xSMAA, its overall average frame number is only 29.67, and the lowest even 8.3 frames in the lowest geothermal valley. In the case of 1xSMAA, it is much better. The overall average frame number is 55.52, and the average frame number of three different scenes is more than 50. However, in the geothermal valley of the lowest scene, it is only 10.53 frames. When anti aliasing is turned off, the frame number is not significantly increased, which is only a few frames away from 1xSMAA.

To sum up, in the case of i7 6700K+GTX1080SLI, 1xSMAA is a cost-effective choice after the special effect is adjusted to the highest level.

Batman: Akram Knight

4K Batman: Arkham Knight has the highest special effect, SSAA and FXAA are open

1080P Batman: Akham Knight has the highest special effect, SSAA and FXAA are open

It can be seen that when the special effect of 4K Batman: Akram Knight is the highest, SSAA and FXAA are all open, the GTX1080SLI also has a lot of pressure. The overall average frame number is 41, ranging from 31 to 53, but this situation is much better than that of Tomb Raider: Rise.  

summary

As a high-end game console, HP OMEN 900, with the support of GTX1080 SLI, is capable of most large-scale games at 4K resolution. Although the model is huge, the reasonable chassis design and a wide variety of interfaces make it very convenient to expand. The changeable RGB lamp and diamond design can also add scientific and technological beauty to your home environment. For some users who have sufficient budget but are unfamiliar with computer configuration, the 30000 yuan HP OMEN 900 may be a good choice. You don't need to think about which graphics card to use and how to match it, because you can get all the HP OMEN 900 you want, and it has arranged everything for you. Although HP OMEN 900 has a relatively thick body, as a family game desktop that has been fixed for a long time, this seems not to be its weakness. The only thing you need to care about is its price.
