Engadget Logo Enterjet Japanese version of the tower type PC is the same as a PC in notebooks!The MSI "RAIDER GE76 12U" series was amazing performance

The good thing about PC games is that you can play many titles, both in Japan and overseas.If you use a game platform such as "Steam" that can be purchased online, you can enjoy a wide range of genres and volume games, from large titles that everyone has heard to indies created by individuals.Another advantage is that even the same title as the game console is set, and you can play with more beautiful graphics and sound.

However, it doesn't matter if it's a PC.Watching a video site on a browser is a laptop that costs tens of thousands of yen, so you can't play the game with the same image quality that is better than a game console.

Then, what PC can play the game comfortably is a PC with a high -speed CPU and high graphics performance.The so -called "gaming PC" is sold as a PC that satisfies this performance.

However, even if you say a gaming PC, its performance is different.There is no clear standard, so even if the game starts, it is not a slow and playable level, but it may also be called a gaming PC.

Of course, even these products will reduce the resolution and lower the image quality, and you will be able to play.However, the dots are noticeable, rattling, and there is a delay, so I can't enjoy the game honestly.

If you buy it anyway, you will want a PC that works without any problems and can play high quality and comfortable.The ideal PC is the MSI gaming notebook PC "Raider GE76 12U" series.

It may be anxious that a notebook PC has a lower performance than a desktop PC, but that's a while ago.Nowadays, many laptop PCs have a performance that are comparable to desktop PCs, and the range of choices is expanding.

This "RAIDER GE76 12U" series is one of them, the CPU is equipped with the latest 12 -generation Intel Core processor, and the graphics will be the latest GeForce RTX 30 series, and a high -refresh that can display smooth movements.Uses rate liquid crystal.The feature is that it holds down important points as a gaming PC and is a satisfying high degree of perfection.

This time, I was able to borrow "GE76-12UGS-218JP" from this "Raider GE76 12U" series, so let's check the performance, functions, and characteristics of the main unit.

The "GE76-12UGS-218JP" is the lower model in the series, but the CPU is a 14-core/20 thread Core i7-12700H, and the graphics are equipped with GeForce RTX 3070 Ti (8GB GDDR6), and as a gaming PC.A model that is bad.The price at the MSI store is 359,800 yen (tax included) when writing the article.

Check the gaming performance you care about.Check the performance that you can play well on your laptop!

The most important thing is how much the gaming performance is.You can predict to some extent from the specifications, but I do not know the actual performance until I try it.

Therefore, let's easily check the performance using the classic benchmark software and a real game with a benchmark function.

First, try the default "Time Spy" from the standard "3DMark".This will be executed at 2560 x 1440 dots resolution using Direcrtx 12, which will be a slightly heavy test.

It is a benchmark software that measures not only graphics performance but also CPU performance, but both scores are quite excellent.In a laptop, CPU performance may pull your feet, but as expected, there was only 14 core/20 thread Core i7-12700H, and the performance was firmly brought out.

Next, let's try the top class popular MMORPG's "Final Fantasy XIV: Akatsuki's Final Reten Mark".It will be a relatively light game, but if you try to play with high resolution, you will need high gaming performance.

The resolution is 2560 x 1440 dots according to the display, and the image quality is the highest quality of the preset, but the result is 17881, as you can see, the evaluation is "very comfortable".If the score is so high, you can play comfortably without complaints, many people gather, and many effects are dancing, but you will not feel heavy.

Let's try the "FINAL FANTASY XV Windows Edition Benchmark", which is a heavy test from MMORPG.It was released a while ago, but it is still a benchmark test for heavy, so it is often used in the evaluation of high -performance gaming PCs.

Here, the resolution is 2560 x 1440 dots, and the image quality is the highest in preset "high quality".

The score is 8367, and the evaluation is "comfortable".I was prepared to be strict with the heavyweight benchmark, but it is a better evaluation than I expected.Depending on the scene, it may be a little bit faster, but basically it works comfortably and does not feel heavy enough to interfere with play.

MMORPG is a game where you want to set a beautiful graphics and world view by setting it with image quality.It is a very nice point that there is a performance that works comfortably even if the image quality is prioritized.

Now, let's take a look at the performance of "RAINBOW SIX SIEGE", which is a popular FPS.In FPS, it is not an exaggeration to say that a momentary delay will divide the winning or losing, so the speed is often given priority over image quality.Nevertheless, the higher the image quality, the more accurate to determine, so the image quality is not good.

The setting is "Vulkan" for the API, the resolution is 2560 x 1440 dots, and the image quality is "best" from the preset.The test was repeated three times, and it was confirmed that the frame rate did not rise significantly.I chose the largest one.The results are as follows.

The frame rate is displayed average, minimum, the highest 3 patterns, but the lowest is to pay attention.If the process is heavy, it will be a frame rate, so no matter how high the average is, if the lowest frame rate is low, it will be disadvantageous in the game.

Looking at the results, the minimum frame rate value is 288.In other words, at least 288 rewriting is performed per second.You can see that it has enough performance.

No matter how high the graphics performance, it is meaningless if it can not be displayed at the speed that can be utilized.In fact, the display mounted on this "GE76-12UGS-218JP" is an ultra-high-speed panel with a refresh rate of 240Hz.It can withstand 240 rewriting per second.

If you can display the opponent's movement as soon as possible, the game will be advantageous.The high -speed graphics performance and the 240Hz high refresh rate display will be quite strong in FPS.

FPS basically has many lighter games, but the "Rainbow Six EXTRACTION", which was released the other day, is a title that can be set for a little weight.I used the benchmark function and checked the performance in this title.

In addition, the resolution is 2560 x 1440 dots, and the image quality is the same as selecting "highest" from preset, but the "resolution quality" setting has been changed to "100%fixed".The resolution quality is defaulted by the "dynamic" setting, but in this case, when the frame rate drops, the resolution is automatically reduced and the frame rate is high.This setting is not suitable for seeing the performance, so it is fixed.

The result is 107 fps, the average is 60 fps, and the maximum is 131 fps.As expected, the frame rate has not been raised much because it is set to be heavy.Nevertheless, the minimum frame rate is 60fps, so it is a good game environment.It can be said that it is a gaming PC with enough ability.

Technology and functions of the "Raider GE76 12U" series that supports high game performance

The higher the CPU performance and the higher the graphics performance, the more comfortable you can enjoy the game, but for a notebook PC, it is quite difficult to achieve this high performance.

The main cause is heat.

High -speed CPUs have extremely large fever, and in order to bring out performance stably, it is necessary to cool down with a large cooler.If it is a desktop PC, it can be equipped with a large water -cooled cooler without worrying about the size, but in the case of a notebook PC, the size limit such as thickness will inevitably be a shackle.This has the same problem not only for CPUs but also in graphics.

The "RAIDER GE76 12U" series uses a unique cooling system "Cooler Boost 5" to solve this heat problem.This is a cooler mechanism using two fans and six heat pipes, making it possible to cool down and spread heat efficiently.

The higher the specifications, the higher the performance, but it is a prerequisite that it clears problems such as heat.It is clear that the high performance of the "Raider GE76 12U" series is supported by very high technology.

Another thing I would like to pay attention to in terms of speed is the operation mode called "Smart Auto" that can be set from "MSI Center".This automatically controls the speed of CPUs so that the optimal performance according to the application can be demonstrated.If you run with the maximum performance at all times, the heat will increase, but the consumption of the battery will be intense.SMART AUTO automatically makes the optimal setting automatically, so the advantage is that power consumption can be reduced while bringing out the performance firmly.

Of course, this performance setting can be changed manually, and it can be changed to "balance" that emphasizes speed and power consumption efficiency, "silent" that reduces the number of fans' rotation, and emphasizes quietness.If you choose games, video viewing, document creation, web conferences, etc., you will be able to use it even more comfortably.

When verifying the game performance, I introduced that the display refresh rate of the display is 240Hz, but this is not the only one.

The first thing you notice is its size.15 on general large notebook PCs.It is 6 inches, but in the "Raider GE76 12U" series 17.It is as large as 3 inches, so you can enjoy games and videos on more powerful screens.

In addition, it is also attractive to the color development, and the MSI's unique software "TRUE COLOR" has a display mode such as games, Adorgb, and Display P3, so that color expressions can be used according to the application.

By the way, color calibration is also possible by preparing a separate color meter.You can rest assured for creative applications such as photos and videos, where accurate colors are important.

An important thing when considering functional aspects, not performance, is the interface.Laptops have keyboards and touchpads, but when you play in games, you want gamepads and mice, and you'll want to connect peripherals, such as second displays for work and creative use.If the interface is difficult to use in such a case, you will be wondering in terms of practicality.

There is no worry about the "Raider GE76 12U" series.The interface is equipped on the back and left and right, and three sides.

From the top, the back, left, right, right.The back is always collected when used, such as power supply, LAN, mini DisplayPort and HDMI, such as images such as HDMI.

On the other hand, on the left and right, the focus is on the frequent attachments, such as USB and SD card readers.I am glad that the arrangement that is thought to be easy to use.

By the way, LAN is 2.High -speed ones that support 5Gbps are adopted.Wi-Fi is also compatible with high-speed Wi-Fi 6, so it is not inferior in communication.

Also, in the wireless function, Bluetooth 5.Also supports 2.Connect the game pads of the latest game console and use it in PC games.

Not just glowing!Light -up function that emphasizes practicality

The light -up function that makes the body and keyboard gorgeous is a symbol of a gaming PC.There are some things that just glow, but the "Raider GE76 12U" series can be customized, and the colors and patterns can be changed freely.Being able to decorate your PC easily is a fun thing.

However, some people may think that it is just a decoration that looks only because it does not affect the performance when it shines.Of course, it's half the correct answer to be just decorations.It's not a mistake.

Then, the other half is actually practical.What is realized is that you can change the color of each key.

For example, in games, we often use Wasd keys to move, but it is surprisingly difficult to fumble and check this with a side eye.However, if the color of the key is clearly changed, it will be possible to determine instantly.

Of course, other keys can be color -coded, or you can freely make the key with the macro set to a different color.In this way, the light -up function is not just a decoration depending on how you use it, but it is practical.

This setting uses the utility called "SteelSeries GG", which is made by Steelseries, which specializes in gaming gears such as mouse and keyboards, as you can see from the name.If you use SteelSeries gears together, it will be more convenient because you can manage them all at once.

Gamers seeking high performance, and high -performance notebook PCs dedicated to creators

The charm of the "RAIDER GE76 12U" series is that it has a specifications suitable as a gaming PC and can bring out its performance firmly.Of course, you can play games comfortably, but also have a very high CPU performance, so you can use this one to distribute the game, so it will respond to more advanced purposes.

In addition, taking advantage of high graphics performance, it is perfect for hobbies such as photos, video editing, VR, and creative use.Gaming PCs tend to think that it has nothing to do with people who do not play games, but the contents are purely the same as high -performance PCs.If you really want to use your PC, you will surely be satisfied with its performance.

17.Because it is a 3 -inch large screen, there is no doubt that it will play an active part in the application.If you want a high -performance notebook PC that can be used for anything, from games to hobby and work, this is the one you want to check.
