The Aorus X7 v2 is marketed first and foremost as a gaming powerhouse, and we can see that the dual GeForce GTX 860M configuration has lots of promise.
BioShock Infinite and GRID 2 both run comfortably in excess of 60 frames per second at a full-HD 1080p resolution, making this SLI setup noticeably quicker than a single GTX 870M or indeed a desktop GeForce GTX 660. However, not everything is quite as it should be as Total War: Rome II performance is well below expectations - the game refused to take advantage of the SLI configuration and serves to demonstrate the potential foibles of dual-GPU setups.
