    MSI’s new GE68 HX is a decent gaming laptop, but it’s got a problem.. Last year’s version was a great option, and it’s much cheaper, so is the new 2023 model worth it?

    Those temps and CB scores for a 16" are INSANELY good. There was headroom to let the clock speeds be higher when GPU loaded, say another 20W to bump those speeds to around 3.7ghz but they must have been closer to 4.4 in Cinebench. I am not sure why when a CPU in 70's it is being limited so harshly though.
    This one is close, if it had G-Sync and at least a 4080 I'd get it. Even the top model maxes out at 4070 unfortunately. I think that's a miss for sure.

      ​@Shiv Find a laptop with the vacuum chamber cooling, and with the "best" thermal paste applied to both GPU & CPU ( usually most gaming laptop manufacturer will let you know which Thermal paste brand do they use ). And more internal fan is better
      I would advise it better to spend big now and reap the benefits later on, rather than spend small and try to compensate for your laptop weakness with time-consuming tweaks and such, especially with the cooling because even with the best cooling pad and with a room temperature of ~20 C, it can only reduce at most about 5C if you are really doing heavy work on your laptop

  • @owenporter1472
    @owenporter1472 Рік тому +4

    I actually owned the GE78HX for all but a few days. Basically the bigger brother of this laptop.
    Initial impressions were not great, the box it comes in is super basic compared to similar priced Asus models, but whatever.
    The backlight bleed was instantly noticeable the second you turned the laptop on. Bottom right corner was glowing brighter than the rest. (many other reviewers had this issue)
    And the screen included just seemed to have huge sync issues to the point every game had frametime issues but fps was fine. (no g-sync either so can't test if this would fix it)
    MSI software/firmware is totally broken, the MSI centre feels extremely laggy and takes several seconds to respond to input, putting the laptop in anything over "Silent" mode caused performance to DROP.
    Also the laptop would just generally freeze and lock up during regular use. The 4080 in it felt like a minor upgrade over the 2060 in my Lenovo.
    Returned and cannot recommend MSI laptops to anyone.

    typing this on my GE68 with an I9 13980HX and 4070, 2tb 16GB of RAM. Have been using it for a couple of months and I`m just so glad I bought it. the big centre placed touch pad + the numlock was a gamechanger for me as well has having the 16:10 screen. Was looking for a laptop with a centre placed macbook like touchpad + numlock, which is also able to run 99% games at good settings along with a lasting CPU for other purposes. This thing will definitely last me some years of quality computing :). A lenovo Legion would be my second choice, would probably be the best bang for your buck laptop for everyone else as well but I just had some personal preferences the GE68 Raider was more suited for.

      I don't have an answer for these issues. I don't have a work around so there is no real point in making a video on it. That being said, we also haven't experienced the issue on quite a few of the recent laptops we've tested, so it may be resolved but hasn't officially been confirmed as fixed.

    This is a suped-up Vector on the MS-15M1 motherboard. The BIOS updates that MSI sends out, they come with a Release Notes text file that says this BIOS update is for a Raider. It can sometimes be difficult finding truthful information about these laptops, and i think it's because they are basically the same laptop but the Raider gets upgraded parts for an extra $400-700. Even the listings on MSI's own product page are confusing, because it claims that a Vector GP68HX 13v is available with the top-of-the-line i9-13980HX (which has a special extra 20W boost) but I could never find one available. The Raider GE68HX does come with this CPU though and I think adding 20W of additional boost on top of all the other types if Intel boost, that should make some noticeably impressive power.

      "Low mobile performance" should be read as "dishonest mobile part naming". Every single mobile part is based on the desktop part a tier below it's name. Therefore, the laptop 4090 is really an 4080, the laptop 4080 is really a 4070, and the laptop 4070 is really a 4060. This has the unfortunate side effect of meaning that the lowest tier mobile part which actually has enough VRAM for modern games at 1440p is the very expensive "4080"

    Hey Jarrod. Should alot of people be concerned with gaming recent demand hike in Vram? I say this because I'm concerned if laptops with like 6 gb of vram will become obsolete faster than expected, especially for those who got them more recently and want to play the newer big titles. 8 Vram is what most are expecting now but I'm scared devs might push 10 in the next couple of years. 8 is the expected minimum now. CPUs don't seem to be the bottleneck but the Vram might be. I also say this because I have a gen 7(2022) Legion 5 pro with rtx 3060. I meet the requirements for alot of games for CPU and ram but the minimum is 8 vram and I'm wondering if I could still play them at solid rates. Maybe higher TGP and wattage helps this but it's still crazy. I'm just concerned because the Vram needed in these new games are getting out of hand and it might be getting out of hand for people who need Vram and power in other areas aside from gaming as well. This could also apply for people still getting 3000 series laptops as well. Maybe this could be a video
