In other words, the new Raider GE76 is all about those internal upgrades.
Then theres the RTX 3080 Ti, on paper the most powerful RTX laptop GPU in Nvidias arsenal.
If theres a mobile GPU that can fill out a 360Hz refresh rate, its this one.
It’s harder to confirm Intels claim of 12th Gen chips enabling better battery life.
Which is to say, equally short.
Thats enough for a visible smoothness improvement on the 360Hz screen.
But even if youre not hitting 360fps, youre usually getting a bit closer than on the RTX 3080.
Frame rates landed within the 72-90fps range, up from 54-80fps.
Total War: Three Kingdoms and its Battle benchmark produced mixed results.
Thats a huge gain on High, but a relatively tiddly one on Ultra.
MSI have upgraded the storage as well.
In just about every other way, this is the same laptop as the GE76 Raider.
Which you’re free to turn off.
The new CPU and GPU dont create any thermal issues either.
If the four grand price isn’t an instant dealbreaker, nothing else here will be.
Performance-wise, the yardstick is down now its time to see how more affordable hardware can measure up.
