MSI GE76 Summary :
Hello, Guys Today I'm Gonna talk about The Brand New MSI GE76 gaming laptop with Nvidia RTX 3000 series graphics is here! The larger 17-inch version of the 15 inch GE66 launched at CES last year, but there are also some new major upgrades which I’ll cover in this article. The most obvious change is of course the use of the brand new hardware. The MSI GE76 Has Nvidia’s latest RTX 3000 series graphics which should mean more performance in games. Which is I review has the RTX 3060 with 8 gigs of VRAM, but there are also 3070 and 3080 options too depending on the size of your wallet.
I’ll definitely be comparing the new 3000 series graphics with the 2000 series from the last generation to see what the differences are. The GE76 Which I use has a 10th gen CPU, I can only assume that will refresh once 11th gen is available, whenever that is. There’s also WiFi 6e, which is another improvement over WiFi 6 which became commonplace last year. Like the smaller GE66, there’s also a 4-cell 99.9Wh battery here too, two memory slots, and two M.2 storage slots. The design aesthetic is very much similar to the GE66 too, with a nice dark silver finish and of course plenty of RGB lighting, including a per-key keyboard and RGB bar along the front. Unlike the 15 inch GE66 though, the bigger size of the GE76 allows it to fit in front-facing speakers on either side of the keyboard, as well as a Numpad, both of which were absent on the GE66 due to space limitations
MSI GE76 Specification
I found the touchpad and the keyboard keys to work fine. The MSI GE76 is available with up to a 300Hz screen, but there’s also a 4K option which is what I use. My unit does have a MUX switch, so after a reboot, it’s possible to disable Optimus for improved gaming performance. There’s a 1080p camera above the screen, so should hopefully offer better than most other 720p alternatives in other laptops have. The Ports on the left include USB 3.2 Gen2 by 2 Type-C port, so 20Gbps speeds, USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A port, so 10gbps, and 3.5mm audio jack. The right has two USB 3.2 Gen1 5gbps Type-A ports, a full-sized UHS-II SD card slot for creators, and an air exhaust vent on this side too. The rest of the I/O is on the back, which has a mini DisplayPort 1.4 output, another USB Type-C port, this one is USB 3.2 Gen2 with DisplayPort 1.4 output, but no Thunderbolt with the GE76. There’s also an HDMI 2 output, 2.5-gigabit ethernet, and the rectangle on the far right is the power input. MSI weight as 2.9kg, though mine was more than 3kg, then, of course, more with the 230-watt power brick. It’s not super thick for a 17-inch gaming laptop either considering the specs that it’s able to pack. So far MSI’s GE76 is basically shaping up how I’d expect,
MSI GE76 REVIEW :
MSI have sent their maxed out 10UH model which has an 8 core i9 processor, 64 gigs of memory, and a 4K 120Hz screen which is powered by Nvidia RTX 3080 graphics with a high power limit and 16 gigs of VRAM, which is more than the 10 gigs in the desktop RTX 3080 by the way, granted the desktop card’s memory is faster. Nvidia lists the power limit of the RTX 3080 mobile graphics as a range from 80 to 150 plus watts, and I found that the GE76 could happily pump out 150 watts to the GPU all day long even with the CPU using 70 watts, pretty impressive stuff. To top it all off, the GE76 lets us disable Optimus after a reboot, which results in increased gaming performance. Unfortunately, there’s no G-Sync, but it does have resizable BAR support. The MSI Dragon Center software lets you modify performance modes, and I’ve done all testing with the highest extreme mode enabled and cooler boost enabled, which sets the fan to full speed for best results. This doesn’t apply to any GPU overclocking by default, but that is easy to do through the software, and I’ll take a look at how much extra performance that gives us a bit later.
BEST GAMING LAPTOP So Far?
MSI’s new GE76 is the fastest gaming laptop that I have ever tested! I’m going to show you how well some games run at 4K, 1440p, and 1080p resolutions. I’ll also compare it against other gaming laptops to show you the differences and we’ll check out overclocking and screen response time too, So with all of that in mind, let’s first start out by seeing how well the GE76 performs in 12 different games at all setting levels at 4K,1440p, and 1080p resolutions. After that, I’ll compare the GE76 against other gaming laptops, then check out overclocking results followed by screen response time.
Red Dead Redemption 2 TESTED On MSI
Red Dead Redemption 2 was tested with the game's benchmark. Now give me a moment to explain what’s going on here. The purple bars are 1080p results, the red bars are 1440p results, and the green bars are 4K results. I’ve also tested all setting levels available, which are shown on the left with lowest down the bottom and highest up top. 4K in the green bars was still capable of passing 60 FPS even with the high setting preset, an excellent result for this test. For a brief comparison, many modern gaming laptops struggle to hit 60 FPS ultra settings at 1080p, but the GE76 is doing better than this even at 1440p in the red bars.
Cyberpunk 2077 TESTED On MSI
Cyberpunk 2077 was tested in little China with the street kid life path. The graph is a bit more packed with data as there were more setting levels tested, but basically, 4K isn’t doing super well in the green bars regardless of setting level, 60 FPS isn’t possible in this test even with low settings. 1440p in the red bars on the other hand was doing much better, high settings were able to average above 60 FPS, while the RT medium preset with DLSS wasn’t far behind. 1080p in the purple bars was far better though, in all cases even the 1% low performance at this lower resolution was above even the average FPS of 1440p. Control was tested with and without ray tracing and DLSS, let’s start with those features off with stock standard gameplay. This time 4K in the green bars was easily surpassing 60 FPS with the low setting preset, and honestly, I think the game still looks pretty good even at low settings. That said though, 1440p in the red bars was running way better. Even maxed out at high settings was doing better than 4K at low. I think this is a good sweet spot, as the super high frame rates possible at 1080p in the purple bars are honestly more than you need to play this game well. With ray tracing enabled, 1080p was still able to surpass 60 FPS even with max settings. 1440p wasn’t too bad, still quite usable at lower levels, but 4K wasn’t really usable, but that’s where DLSS comes in. With DLSS enabled 4K in the green bars is still on the lower side, however, 1440p in the red bars is running much better now, 80 FPS at high settings and playing without issue, but again 1080p in the purple bars has higher 1% lows than even the averages from 1440p.
