The MSI Strike GE76 brought to you this time is one of the few gamebooks with 12th generation Core i9-12900HK processors, RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU dual flagship hardcore configuration, and supports unique direct connection, extraordinary hardware configuration, pulling the heartstrings of high-end players!
For the tuning of performance, the MSI attack on GE76 is also extra powerful. NVIDIA's GPU subsystem power consumption for the RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU is 80 to 150W, while MSI's attack on the GE76 directly adds 175W of performance output to the RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU. Such a strong design, only for a better game experience.
How strong is MSI's performance in attacking the GE76? In this article, I will take you to take a good look. Get up and walk!

Performance showcase: 12th generation Core i9-12900HK in conjunction with RTX 3080 Ti
(Note: All of the performance tests in this article were conducted in the gamebook's strongest mode, Extreme Mode, and the graphics card was set to a direct-display mode to show the best performance of the gamebook.) )
MSI Strike GE76 is paired with the flagship model of the 12th generation Intel Core Mobile SDT processor, the Core i9-12900HK, which uses Intel's innovative high-performance hybrid architecture design, 6+8 core, 20-thread design. A high-performance hybrid architecture balances performance and energy consumption for a whole new creative and gaming experience.
Through the CPU-Z, Geekbench 5 software tests, it can be seen that the single-core performance and multi-core performance of the Core i9-12900HK are very powerful.
According to the actual measurement of AIDA64, this set of 32GB (8GB×2) DDR5-4800MHz memory, its read, write, and copy performance exceeds 60,000MB/s, which is excellent.
Its two 1TB SSDs are the same model, both Samsung's.
Judging from the results of The CrystalDiskMark test software, the sequential read speed of this Samsung SSD exceeds 6600MB/s, and the sequential write speed exceeds 4900MB/s, which belongs to the high-end PCIe4.0 SSD.
Next is an introduction to graphics cards and game performance. The RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU has 7424 CUDA cores, 96 raster units, and 232 texture units, with 256 bits of space-wide, 16GB of GDDR6 video memory.
The MSI Strike GE76 RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU has a GPU frequency of 1230MHz, a Boost frequency of 1590MHz, and a memory frequency of 2000MHz (equivalent to 16000MHz).
According to NVIDIA's official statement, the NVIDIA Ampere architecture has the 2nd generation RT Core (ray tracing core), the 3rd generation Tensor Core (tensor core) and the new SM multi-cell stream processor). It runs faster, has higher performance, and doubles the throughput of FP32 in SM. The second generation of RT Cores doubles the throughput of the light and triangle intersection calculations, and the dynamic blur performance is greatly improved. The third generation of Tensor Cores optimizes the performance of sparse networks and greatly improves the performance of AI computing, which can be said to be a very obvious improvement in this generation of architecture.
The RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU supports ray tracing technology, taking the gaming experience to a new level. NVIDIA's unique DLSS technology can improve the smoothness of the game and produce beautiful, clear dynamic graphics.
The RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU also supports Dynamic Boost 2.0 dynamic acceleration technology, which dynamically allocates power consumption to the CPU and GPU, and the power consumption of the two is dynamically variable, while the total power consumption tends to stabilize. With the total power consumption unchanged, Dynamic Boost 2.0 maximizes the utilization of power consumption through dynamic power provisioning, thereby improving game performance.
The game's 3DMark benchmark score.
From the 3DMark benchmark, the gaming performance of the RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU is already very close to the level of the desktop platform RTX3070 graphics card.
Next is the actual test of 7 popular games, including "Cyberpunk 2077", "Tomb Raider: Shadow" and other light chase masterpieces, as well as super popular martial arts chicken eating masterpieces such as "Forever Doom".

E-sports game test - "Forever Doomed"
The game "Forever Doom" does not have benchmarks, and the author chose a game scene with a relatively high load for testing. 1920× 1080 resolution, picture quality: very high, DLSS: quality, game frames of 165 frames.
Judging from the above very representative games, the gaming performance of the Core i9-12900HK together with the RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU has been quite powerful.
Thermal performance measured
Using the pressure test that comes with AIDA64, I continued to test the CPU and GPU of this game book with dual grills.
(Note: The room temperature at which the author tested was 26 °C)
After 10 minutes of double roasting, the CPU temperature of this game book is stabilized at 78 ° C, the power consumption is about 45W, and the CPU frequency is stabilized at about 2.5GHz. The GPU temperature is stable at 72°C and the power consumption is about 166W.
In the CPU +GPU dual oven state, the total power output of the CPU + GPU of this game can reach 211W.
Red spider colorimeter test
Using the red spider color calibrator, the author also conducted a professional performance test on the display of this game book.
First: Gamut test
(Introduction to the test item) Color gamut refers to the range of areas composed of the number of colors that can be expressed by a certain device, that is, the range of colors that can be represented by various screen display devices, printers or printing equipment. The larger the gamut value, the more colors the device can display.
The gamebook has a good screen with 96.9% sRGB and 73.5% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage.
The second item: color accuracy test
The colors displayed on the screen often deviate from the colors seen by the human eye in real life. The smaller the color difference, the better the monitor is of course.
Test Criteria:
When △E ≤1, the human eye can hardly distinguish the difference between the two colors;
When 1 >
When △E ≥3, the human eye can discern the difference in color and think that it is two similar colors.
When △E ≥5, most people can see the color difference and think that it is a completely different color.
The average △E is 0.62, and there is only one color of △E≥5, and the color accuracy of this screen is very good!
Product summary
Flagship hardcore with MSI's excellent performance tuning, MSI Strike GE76 is such a top large-screen game book at the moment, and its excellent performance makes the author quite satisfied. For players who pursue extreme performance, this "performance beast" is pushed to you.
Well, this review is written here, I hope players like it!
