![]() Such a high refresh rate not only reduces motion blur during quick turns but also increases responsiveness. The GE76 features a ridiculously fast 360Hz IPS display. Though desktop gaming monitors have been driving up refresh rates for years, it’s only recently that we’ve seen the trend hit gaming laptops. That extra real estate makes it easier to pick out enemies sneaking through the underbrush and to pull off headshots that would otherwise leave you squinting. With a resolution of 1080p, the pixel density isn’t quite as high as a smaller 15.6-inch screen, but the difference in clarity is hardly perceptible. At 17.3 inches, it’s capable of delivering an immersive gaming experience at that size. Outside of its internals, the screen is the standout feature of the GE76 Raider. If your wallet knows no limits, MSI's GE76 Raider is certainly worth it for the performance alone. Both are well over the demands of modern games and will ensure that massive file transfers, like editing HD video, won’t leave you waiting unnecessarily long. Using CrystalDiskMark, a benchmarking tool for measuring storage speed, we found maximum read and write speeds of 6056.7 MB/s and 4532.9 MB/s respectively. The included SSD also leverages PCIe Gen 4 fast transfer speeds. MSI has equipped this laptop with 32GB of high-performance RAM that can be removed and upgraded over time. Of course, performance isn’t all about the CPU and GPU. Since the RTX 3080 supports Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling technology, boosting that above 60 fps was as simple as toggling an option with barely any difference to visual quality. Turning on ray tracing in Cyberpunk 2077 on Ultra settings left us with an average of only 43 fps, which is a little low when you're in the middle of a firefight. That’s not to say everything will run perfectly without a little help. In Control, it dished out 62.1 fps with ray tracing enabled and 106.4 with it off. In Far Cry 5 and Total War: Warhammer 2 it output 111 and 99.7 fps respectively with both games set to their highest graphics presets at a 1080p resolution. Paired with Nvidia’s top mobile graphics card, the RTX 3080, the GE76 is a portable powerhouse. For pure gaming it features a blistering fast 5.0 GHz single-core turbo clock speed, allowing it to deliver higher fps than slower clocked CPUs. ![]() The Core i9-11980HK features eight cores and sixteen threads, so processor-intensive tasks like rendering video or live streaming while also running multiple other apps in the background are easy for this machine. The GE76 is the first laptop we’ve tested that features Intel’s new Core i9-11980HK processor, which delivers outstanding results whether you’re looking to get lost in your favorite game, stream to Twitch, or edit videos for your YouTube channel. It’s a double-whammy of an outstanding CPU and a powerful GPU that can run even the most demanding games on the highest graphics settings. The GE76 Raider is one of the most cutting-edge gaming laptops on the market. If you like RGB lighting, then you should like all the colors MSI's GE76 Raider offers. What We Like Seriously great gaming performance For full availability, visit the MSI website. Currently, the Core i9, RTX 3080 varients are hard to find, but Core i7 and RTX 3080 configurations are available. If that price is too high for you, MSI is offering other configurations with Intel Core i7 processors, 144Hz FHD displays, and either an RTX 3070 or RTX 3060 for a reduced cost. On paper, this combination delivers the highest possible frame rates in games and will look good doing so thanks to a slick gunmetal gray chassis and bold front-facing RGB strip. For the cost, you’re getting top-tier, cutting-edge components like Intel’s 11th Generation Core i9-11980HK CPU and an Nvidia RTX 3080 GPU, as well as a 32GB of DDR4 memory and a 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD. The price as configured for this review is an eye-watering $3,399.
