Before the performance benchmarks, IT Home (IT之家) conducted a stress test on the entire system.
The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX mobile processor used in this test is one of the high-end mobile processors on the Intel Arrow Lake-HX platform. It features a 24-core, 24-thread heterogeneous architecture with 8 performance cores (P-Cores) and 16 efficiency cores (E-Cores). The P-Cores can reach a maximum turbo frequency of 5.4GHz, while the E-Cores can reach approximately 4.6GHz, targeting high-load multi-threaded and mixed-frequency scenarios.
In terms of cache, the processor is equipped with approximately 40MB of L2 cache and 36MB of L3 cache, offering advantages in multitasking scheduling and game load switching scenarios.
Regarding power consumption, the Core Ultra 9 275HX has a base power of 55W and a maximum turbo power of 160W, providing significant performance scaling flexibility, with actual performance highly dependent on the system's thermal and power design. Additionally, the platform integrates an NPU unit, delivering approximately 13 TOPS of local AI computing power, and supports DDR5-6400 memory and PCIe 4.0 high-speed expansion capabilities.
In practical applications, its performance covers heavy-load scenarios such as running games, AAA titles, multitasking productivity, video editing, and 3D rendering.
In the actual stress test, IT Home (IT之家) first used AIDA64 to perform a 15-minute FPU single stress test.
In the first dozen seconds of the test, the CPU power consumption quickly surged to around 200W.
During the subsequent 15-minute stress test, the CPU power consumption fluctuated within the range of approximately 185W to 190W. Under high-load operation, the fan speed increased noticeably, without any abnormal whining or frequent stalling. With the 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, the core temperature remained stable at around 77°C, which is within the normal range for a high-performance mobile platform.
During the 15-minute CPU single stress test, thermal imaging (with the glass cover removed) showed the highest internal temperature at 56°C, concentrated on the upper side of the cold plate.
In terms of graphics, the Tianxuan 7X is equipped with an RTX 5060 Ti 8GB GPU, which stably maintains a full power draw of around 180W during a 15-minute FurMark single-burn test, with a core frequency of approximately 2235MHz and a short-term peak of up to about 2.8GHz.
In terms of temperature control, the core temperature stabilizes at around 75°C, while the VRAM temperature is about 76°C. Under prolonged full-load stress, the thermal performance remains relatively stable, with ample thermal headroom and no significant frequency drops or power fluctuations.
Subsequently, IT Home conducted a CPU+GPU dual-burn test, lasting about 20 minutes. The overall system power remained stable in the range of approximately 360W–370W (CPU ≈190W + GPU ≈180W), which represents a high level of performance release among similar-grade brand systems.
Under dual-burn conditions, the frequency performance of the CPU and GPU remains essentially consistent with single-burn, with no significant performance drop.
The CPU core frequency is maintained at around 4.4GHz, while the GPU core frequency is stable in the range of approximately 2.2GHz to 2.3GHz.
Thanks to the large chassis airflow design and the coordinated cooling of the 240mm all-in-one water cooling system, the Tianxuan 7X can maintain a high power output for extended periods under high-load scenarios, delivering very sufficient overall performance.
Storage and memory section: The Tianxuan 7X is equipped with a DDR5 memory platform. Measured memory bandwidth is as follows: sequential read about 85633 MB/s, sequential write about 77624 MB/s, copy about 77924 MB/s, and latency about 115.3 ns. Overall, this is within the normal range for a DDR5-5600 dual-channel platform.
In terms of storage, the whole machine is equipped with a Micron 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. In CrystalDiskMark real-world testing, sequential reads can reach up to approximately 7027MB/s, and sequential writes are about 5821MB/s, which is mainstream for PCIe 4.0 SSDs, capable of handling large game loading and asset read/write demands.

The Time Spy graphics score of 15,728 points means that at 2K resolution, it can handle the high-quality settings of mainstream AAA titles. As for high-load ray tracing and next-gen games, the Port Royal ray tracing score comfortably exceeds 10,000 points, showing that with DLSS enabled, you can achieve a smooth gaming experience of over 60 FPS at 2K resolution.
An e-sports PC should naturally prove itself through game performance.
Next, IT Home(IT之家) selected multiple mainstream games for actual testing.
First, let's look at the performance of the racing masterpiece Forza Horizon 6.
All tests were conducted at 2K resolution (2560 x 1440) with "High Quality + Ray Tracing (Low)" visual settings, and the game's built-in benchmark program was used to evaluate the frame rate and latency performance under three different DLSS modes.
As shown in the figure below, with only DLSS Balanced enabled and Frame Generation disabled, the game ultimately achieved an average frame rate of 90 FPS.
Under pure rasterization and basic ray tracing, the configuration of the Tianxuan 7X can guarantee absolute smoothness at 2K native high quality.
Then IT之家 enables DLSS Balanced + 2x Frame Generation:
The average frame rate of the game immediately increased to 134 FPS, and frame generation brought a frame count leap of over 48%.
Next, push frame generation further to 4x:
The average frame rate has reached an astonishing 220 fps, bringing a qualitative improvement to the overall smoothness of the picture, while the average latency is steadily controlled at 25.5ms.
Furthermore, you can enable 6x frame generation (still showing 4x in-game) through the NVDIA App, this time the frame rate directly soars to 280 frames:
The second game tested in practice was "Resident Evil 9".
Also at 2K resolution (graphics settings as above), in the image settings menu, DLSS Super Resolution at the "Balanced" preset and "DLSS Ray Reconstruction" technology were enabled, and with the help of GamePP software, actual runtime data was recorded for both DLSS 2x frame generation and 4x frame generation modes.
According to the recorded data, during actual gameplay, the average frame rate reached 103 FPS, with both the 1% low and 0.1% low frames remaining very stable at 71 FPS. At this time, CPU usage was only 22%, GPU temperature was controlled at 75°C, and video memory usage was approximately 7.44 GB.
Subsequently, after setting the frame generation mode to the maximum "NVIDIA DLSS 4x", the average frame rate skyrocketed, directly surging to 189 FPS (see image below).
From the actual test results of Resident Evil 9, it can be seen that facing the strict test of high image quality, the RTX 5060 Ti with 8GB VRAM is indeed in a state of "full power", but thanks to NVIDIA's latest DLSS 4 multi-frame generation technology, it achieved a frame rate close to 190 in 4x mode, which is pretty good.
Next is Cyberpunk 2077, known as the "hardware killer". This game has extremely high requirements for the ray tracing performance and super-resolution technology of the graphics card.
In this test, it was carried out uniformly at 2K resolution (2560 x 1440), and the preset scheme of "Ray Tracing: Low" was applied, while the latest "Transformer Model" was selected in the DLSS super resolution preset scheme.
Through the game's built-in benchmark program, the performance under three states—without frame generation, with 2x frame generation, and with 4x frame generation—was recorded.
2K resolution + DLSS Auto + without frame generation (below):
It achieved an average frame rate of 99.74 FPS, with the minimum frame rate staying at 87.46 FPS. This indicates that even under the complex lighting environment of Night City, the basic rasterization and preliminary ray tracing performance of this configuration is sufficient to ensure a completely smooth gaming experience.
2K resolution + DLSS Balanced + 2x Frame Generation:
The average frame rate of the game increased to 127.81 FPS, with the maximum frame rate reaching 162.84 FPS. The smoothness of the visuals has been visibly enhanced.
2K resolution + DLSS Balanced + 4x Frame Generation:
At this point, the average frame rate experienced explosive growth, directly jumping to 209.64 FPS.
The final test is the recently popular "Delta Force (三角洲行动)". Here, the default 4K high graphics quality is selected. From the actual gameplay data, the average frame rate of the ASUS TUF Gaming 7X (华硕天选7X) reaches 94 FPS. For shooting games, the most impactful lower bound metric — 1% Low frame rate — stays steadily at 61 FPS (0.1% Low also at 61 FPS).
The data chart shows that under 4K rendering pressure, the RTX 5060 Ti graphics card is running at full load (utilization 94%–95%), with VRAM usage reaching 7.04 GB (88% of capacity). Undeniably, 4K is indeed approaching the VRAM ceiling of the 8 GB RTX 5060 Ti. Therefore, when playing AAA games, 2K resolution is clearly a more balanced choice.
The ASUS TUF Gaming 7X (华硕天选7X) gaming desktop offers a relatively complete solution for users with a sufficient budget who have certain demands for chassis display performance and power delivery.
The 47L chassis of the ASUS TUF Gaming 7X is not just about size; it directly influences the cooling strategy and power delivery, allowing the entire system to stably maintain a high power output of approximately 360W under dual-burn conditions.
Based on actual testing, the combination of the Intel Core Ultra 9 mobile processor 275HX and the RTX 5060 Ti can already cover the vast majority of AAA gaming needs at 2K resolution. Moreover, with the support of DLSS 4 multi-frame generation technology, the high-frame-rate experience can even further approach the esports level.
Of course, the pricing of over 10,000 yuan also means it is not a product born for extreme cost performance. But if you need a high-performance gaming desktop that is ready to use out of the box, with worry-free after-sales service, and combines dimensional mecha aesthetics with abundant power, the ASUS TUF Gaming 7X (华硕天选 7X) is still a very attractive choice.
