Making the best gaming laptops on the planet takes something special. It requires not only a deep understanding of the hardware you are working with, but also an understanding of what a discerning gamer needs. MSI, a laptop design company with years of experience working with the world’s best esports players, has this experience. That experience comes to the fore with the MSI Titan GT77, arguably the world’s most powerful gaming laptop.
The incredibly powerful MSI Titan GT77 and Raider GE series notebooks represent the pinnacle of this experience.
The world’s most powerful gaming laptop, the MSI Titan GT77
Titan, MSI couldn’t have chosen a better word to describe this beast of a machine. While it may look like a laptop, the Titan GT77 offers features that will make many people turn their backs on PCs. The screen is an ultra-bright 17.3-inch MINi LED model that clocks in at 4K 144Hz, while also being 100% DCI-P3 and HDR compliant. You get Ultra-Low profile Cherry MX keys. yes, a mechanical keyboard on a laptop, it’s powered by one of Intel’s most powerful processors, the Intel Core i9-13980HX, and Nvidia’s most powerful mobile GPU, the Nvidia RTX 4090 16GB. GDDR6.
You get four DDR5 RAM slots, three NVMe storage slots, one of which supports PCIe Gen5 x4 (which translates to insanely fast), four speakers, LED flashers to help enhance the atmosphere during gaming, and most importantly, the CoolerBoost Titan, 4 : – a fanless, 8-heatpipe solution that allows these hot and powerful internals to push up to 250W TGP. That’s 175W available to the GPU and an additional 75W to the CPU. A MUX switch isolates the discrete GPU, allowing you smooth gaming performance when you need that little extra power.
As for benchmarks, the Titan can deliver around 100 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 with RTX On (DLSS Perf. mode in FHD), and 130 to 200 FPS in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Far Cry 6 and Shadow of the games. Tomb Raider. For content creators, that Cinebench score goes up to 30k.
The selection of ports is also impressive, as this 3.3 kg machine not only provides dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, but also Wi-Fi 6E, HDMI 2.1, SD Express, 10 Gb/s USB and more.
It’s a sleek yet ruggedly built desktop replacement for power users, whether they’re pro gamers, game designers, or content creators.
MSI Raider GE78 HX and GE68 HX | Portable power plants
The Raider GE78 and GE68 are both cut from the same cloth as the Titan. While not as extreme as the Titan, the Raider series caters to die-hard players who demand portability and speed.
Both models are quite similar, with the Raider GE78 offering a 17-inch display, while the GE 68 offers a 16-inch display. Both feature MUX switches to allow the GPU to perform at its best, and are clad in an eye-catching dark gray metallic titanium that looks very elegant.
The Raider GE78 does it all, packing an Intel Core i9-13980 HX and RTX 4080 combo that’s only beaten by the 4090 in the Titan GT77. Thanks to OverBoost Ultra and the very capable CoolerBoost 5 with Shared Pipe design, this laptop can also push up to 250W TGP, allocating 175W to the GPU and 75W to the CPU. The Shared Pipe design is particularly interesting here, allowing the system to passively balance thermal energy between the CPU and GPU, dissipating heat more efficiently and allowing components more space when room is needed. Thanks to this technology, the processor can boost up to 5.2 GHz on its eight P cores.
For the display, you can play on a 240Hz QHD+ panel that supports DCI-P3 color gamut.
The Raider GE68 HX is 400g lighter and more portable, and still packs an incredibly powerful Intel Core i9-13950HX processor and RTX 4070 GPU. The benchmarks put the two Raider processors on par, so creators who demand CPU performance can pair with either machine. While the GE78’s 4080 clocks in at 100+ FPS in popular games like Cyberpunk 2077 (with FHD Ultra RTX Off) and Far Cry 6, the 4070 isn’t far behind at 85-95 FPS in the same games at speed.
The GE68’s chassis is smaller but still packs the same CoolerBoost 5 Shared Pipe system seen in the GE78, allowing the GPU and CPU to hit TGPs of 140W and 55W respectively. Display options include a 16-inch UHD+ 120Hz variant as well as a 16-inch QHD+ 240Hz variant. Both support DCI-P3 gamut, appealing to content creators everywhere.
Both laptops support Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, 10Gbps USB-A, USB-C with DP and PD support, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 and more.
Such raw power from MSI’s systems is hard to beat, which is why we think the MSI Titan GT77 and two Raiders will dominate the PC gaming landscape in 2023. Choosing any of the series virtually guarantees years of uncompromised gaming. and productivity.
