Asus ZenBook Flip S – Flip Tiger Lake

Gaming tests – integrated graphics

This year is packed with technological innovations and laptops are an area where it’s all happening. In addition, Intel is under a lot of pressure, which was reflected in the relatively fast release of the new gen of Tiger Lake processors, and the first novelty from Asus has already reached our editorial office. What is the new ZenBook Flip S like and is the 11th gen of Intel Core even sensible compared to the 10th gen in the recently tested ZenBook 14?

Gaming tests – integrated graphics

Let’s start with CS:GO, which is one of the most popular games ever. It can be seen that with increasing graphics quality, the lead of the Flip S with Intel Xe graphics gradually decreases. In Low, it is the fastest, by 24% against Dell and 55% against the ZenBook 14. It even beats Swift 5 with a dedicated Nvidia MX250 graphics card. With the medium settings, it fell under the Swift 5 and the Zephyrus G14, but still has an advantage over Dell, ZenBook 14 and Swift 3. At High settings, however, this difference has already narrowed and the Swift 3 with Renoir 4700U got past the Flip S, which called the XPS.

GTA V is one of the most popular games on the market and offers complex and challenging graphics. Surprisingly, we no longer see such dominance as in CS:GO, quite the opposite. Both Dell and Swift 3 are faster than the Flip S, beating only the ZenBook 14 by 17%.

We see a different scenario in Dirt Rally. Here, the Flip S is better than Ice Lake models, moved away from Dell by 24 and ZenBook 14 by 59%. On the contrary, it loses to Swift 3 by 22%. Game performance is therefore very variable, but some improvement over the Ice Lake models can be observed.
