graphics performance

As GPU, RTX 3060 (12GB) or RTX 3060 Ti (8GB) is used. In terms of game performance, the RTX 3060 Ti is better. However, the RTX 3060 has a lot of video memory, which is advantageous for tasks such as VR and AI image generation where the amount of video memory is strongly affected.

The OMEN 25L with RTX 3060 has a slightly lower result than the average of the same GPU, but it is not a big effect. As a mid-range gaming computer, it’s a pretty good result.

game performance

The RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti are mid-range GPUs that target full HD, and this time we limited the resolution to full HD. Overall, looking at the various results, even heavy games can be enjoyed comfortably at around 100 fps in full HD. With the RTX 3060 Ti, the frame rate should increase a bit more.

* An average of 60 FPS or more is a guideline for comfortable play

Aim for value

OMEN 25L IntelOMEN 25L Intel

The price in January 2023 is 189,000 yen for the RTX 3060 model and 198,000 yen for the RTX 3060 Ti model. Considering the current market price, it feels too expensive. Also, the middle class RTX 40 series should appear in the future, so if the price remains at this price, it would be better to wait and see.

However, this series can be sold at a very low price on occasional sales. If it is sold in the 150,000 to 160,000 yen range or less, it is a good time to buy. The design and performance are quite good, so aim for the timing of the sale. We distribute deal information on this website or our Twitter account.
