HP Victus 16 laptop review: Full HD gamer with RTX 4070
Similarly to the Omen series, the Victus is also available in various hardware configurations. Our test unit, with its Core i7-13700H and GeForce RTX 4070, belongs to the upper end of the performance scale. 16 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM and a 1 TB M.2 NVMe SSD are also solid for 2023. The display is a matte IPS panel in 16:9 format at 1,920 x 1,080 and 144 Hz. Cost for the entire package: at least US $1,439.99 at present.

* ... smaller is better
At an average brightness of 285 cd/m², the Victus 16 is unfortunately not among the brightest models. While this value may still be sufficient for most indoor spaces, you'll quickly reach the limits of readability and recognizability outdoors. Thanks to the relatively good black value of 0.25 cd/m² for IPS standards, the display still achieves a solid contrast of around 1200:1.
The color space also gives little cause for criticism, as sRGB has nearly 100% coverage. 69% for AdobeRGB and 67% for DCI-P3 are also acceptable for a gaming notebook. The Victus 16 deserves special praise for its color accuracy: even in the state of delivery, the values are in the ideal range (see Calman screenshots).
Viewing angles are at the typical (good) IPS level. Our test device did not show any signs of screen flickering or screen bleeding. Response times were also inconspicuous and should meet the requirements of most users.
Display Response Times
↔ Response Time Black to White | ||
---|---|---|
8.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined | ↗ 4.5 ms rise | |
↘ 3.7 ms fall | ||
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 17 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.8 ms). | ||
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey | ||
13.3 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined | ↗ 6 ms rise | |
↘ 7.3 ms fall | ||
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 20 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (34.3 ms). |
Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
Screen flickering / PWM not detected | |||
In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18716 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. |
Performance
In terms of hardware, the Victus 16 falls between the mid-range and high-end segments. While the Intel processor should have more than enough reserves for the coming years, the GeForce RTX 4070 may struggle due to its somewhat meager VRAM size (8 GB GDDR6 is no longer quite up to date or future proof).
Testing Conditions
In the preinstalled Omen Gaming Hub, users can, among other things, adjust performance control (screenshot #4). Since 3D performance hardly increases in Performance mode, but the noise increases significantly, we carried out all measurements in Balanced mode. Eco mode only partially lives up to its name: the frame rate and noise level gravitate towards the middle mode.
Witcher 3 (FHD/Ultra) | Eco | Balanced | Performance |
---|---|---|---|
Frame rate | ~110 fps | ~114 fps | ~118 fps |
Noise | ~46 dB(A) | ~46 dB(A) | ~56 dB(A) |
Processor
Intel's Core i7-13700H is currently found in a large number gaming notebooks. The 10 nm model from the Raptor Lake generation offers 6 performance cores with hyper-threading and 8 efficiency cores without HT, resulting in up to 20 parallel threads.
In the benchmark course, the Core i7-13700H of the Victus 16 delivers slightly below-average performance if you compare the results with the previous average. At least you have to give HP credit for the fact that performance remains quite stable over long periods of time. There were no major fluctuations or drops in our Cinebench loop.

DPC Latency
Like numerous other competitors, the Victus 16 also weakens when it comes to latency. According to the LatencyMon tool, users may encounter problems with latency-sensitive tasks such as real-time audio and video editing.

Storage Devices
Altogether, SSD performance is slightly lower than the Omen 16 despite its higher capacity (1,000 GB vs 512 GB), which itself cannot quite keep up with the competition. Our DiskSpd loop also shows that the Kioxia SSD installed in the Victus 16 loses speed after a while under load, as can be seen in other laptops.

Graphics Card
Since Nvidia was rather frugal in terms of memory expansion (VRAM amount, interface) - as previously mentioned - the GeForce RTX 4070 is well behind the RTX 4080 and RTX 4090. If you compare the performance purely with other RTX 4070 notebooks, the Victus 16 is not bad. In the synthetic graphics benchmarks, the 16-inch model is forced to concede defeat to the competition, but the previous RTX 4070 average is still maintained, especially since HP does not limit itself to the maximum possible TGP of 140 watts, but only sets it at 120 watts.

Gaming Performance
In the practical gaming tests, 3D performance also gravitates towards the RTX 4070 average. In native Full HD resolution, the Victus 16 is able to run almost all current games smoothly, even at maximum settings. Only very demanding or poorly optimized titles such as Immortals of Aveum or Starfield cannot achieve more than 60 FPS.

Emissions
Noise
If you use Balanced mode, the Victus 16 is not too loud. Around 46 dB(A) in Witcher 3 is a clearly audible, but not an extreme level (in Performance mode this becomes an annoyingly loud 56 dB). In idle situations and harmless tasks such as office, video and web browsing, the fans usually spin at 28 to 30 dB(A), which is more than the competition. HP has room for improvement here.

Temperature
Temperatures are also slightly higher than most comparison devices, both in idle mode and under load. After an hour of Witcher 3, the top of the chassis reached 52 °C and the bottom of the case 54 °C, which speaks against gaming sessions on the lap. At least the palm area always remains in comfortable regions at a maximum of 33 °C.
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 51 °C / 124 F, compared to the average of 40.4 °C / 105 F, ranging from 21.2 to 68.8 °C for the class Gaming.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 54 °C / 129 F, compared to the average of 43.2 °C / 110 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 29.8 °C / 86 F, compared to the device average of 33.9 °C / 93 F.
(-) Playing The Witcher 3, the average temperature for the upper side is 41.6 °C / 107 F, compared to the device average of 33.9 °C / 93 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are reaching skin temperature as a maximum (33 °C / 91.4 F) and are therefore not hot.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 29 °C / 84.2 F (-4 °C / -7.2 F).

Stress Test
The cooling system leaves us with mixed feelings. Although the Core i7-13700H only operates at its base clock or slightly below it under full load, the CPU gets quite warm at around 85 °C. The situation with the graphics card is somewhat more relaxed. Just under 78 °C and a 1,635 MHz clock rate after 60 minutes of Furmark and Prime95 are a solid result.

Battery Life
With active graphics switching, the Victus 16 lasts a relatively long time without a power outlet for a gaming notebook. In the practical WLAN test (brightness set to 150 cd/m²), the 16-inch device lasted 426 minutes, almost 1.5 hours longer than the comparable Omen 16, although some competitors have even longer runtimes thanks to larger batteries (the Victus 16 offers 83 Wh).

Verdict
If HP hadn't gone the way of reasonable pricing, the Victus 16-r0077ng would've had quite a tough time against the competition. The Gigabyte Aero 16, the Lenovo Legion Pro 5, the Acer Nitro 16 and the MSI Stealth 16 Studio all have better overall ratings, although some of them cost considerably more.
For a starting price of around US$949.99, the Victus 16 cuts a relatively good figure.
Although the plastic chassis does not look particularly high-quality and has to do without Thunderbolt 4, it scores with a classy design and usable input devices. Most buyers should also be satisfied with the color-accurate Full HD display (144 Hz), although the brightness is rather poor. The performance of the Core i7-13700H and GeForce RTX 4070 generally meets expectations, while the emission values are somewhat mixed. In Balanced mode, which we would recommend for everyday use, the 16-incher is not too loud, but quite warm.
Overall, price-conscious gamers can't really go wrong here. However, those who place more value on quality in individual areas or want better results should preferably buy one of the competing devices.
