The P57X managed 53.48 fps, versus 21 fps scored by the GX700. Gigabyte's machine is much more capable at 1080p, managing to almost hit 60 fps in GTA V with every setting maxed out - no mean fit and a struggle for even the beefiest graphics cards. The P57X reached an impressive 13,063 points in 3DMark's Fire Strike test, outpacing the 980-powered Asus ROG GX700's 9,824 points. Nvidia has positioned the GTX 1070 as that card's successor, which is backed up by the benchmark scores produces.

Battery Life (TechRadar movie test): 4 hours and 47 minutes.Cinebench CPU: 680 points Graphics: 105.41 fps.Here's how the Gigabyte P57X performed in our suite of benchmark tests:
If you're interested in using the ample horsepower under the hood to run games at higher resolutions, the P57X's USB-C and HDMI (2.0) ports mean you can easily hook up an external monitor to do so. It's undoubtedly a decision that helps keep cost down, and one that leaves you with a gaming laptop that can chew through pretty much any game at the screen's native resolution maxed out while hitting the golden 60 fps mark. It's an interesting choice, particularly as many of its rivals have opted for 2K, 3K and Ultra HD displays to take advantage of the power of GTX 10-series GPUs.
Gigabyte has opted for a standard 1080p panel for the P57X.
