Gaming At The Top

Of course, the star of the MSI GE76 Raider’s kit is the NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 30 Series Laptop GPUs. These bring powerful Raytracing graphics while iterating on the previous 20 series, meaning you get the most bang for your buck with these GPUs.

The top of the line NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 3080 Laptop GPU boasts a 30% performance increase from its predecessor, the RTX 2080. It does these with various tools like DLSS, allowing you to maintain high frame rates even while running the game at its most intensive settings, as well as the resizable BAR, which lets the GPU’s own VRAM boost the CPU.

If all that tech talk went over your head, think about it like this- Anyone who’s used a PC would usually know that there’s some tradeoff between getting high framerates and a good looking game. With the GE76 and it’s NVIDIA® GeForce®30 series Laptop GPUs, you can have games that have looked better than they’ve ever looked before thanks to raytracing, without trading how good they feel thanks to DLSS helping you maintain better framerates.

With this, you can enjoy all sorts of games like Watch Dogs: Legion, roaming the wet and bustling city of London without the game grinding down into a slideshow just because you decided to run it at a higher graphics setting.

Of course, it’s not just a fancy GPU taped to a medicore chip. The GE76 comes with the equally titanic 10th Gen Intel Core i9 Processor, making your laptop capable of handling multiple tasks at once.

This is also great for those who want to stream their triple-A games, since you won’t have to worry about the GE76 Raider tripping over itself and ruining both your game and stream. It’s also great for the outlier games that have equally high CPU demands, such as Red Dead Redemption 2. With the GE76 Raider you can say goodbye to the frustrating feeling of “well I can run all these other games well, why does this one in particular not work well?”

Naturally, this is all bundled together with the GE76 Raider’s high refresh-rate monitor, supporting up to 300 Hz. It also sports an over 80% screen-to-body ratio, so even if you’re not doing top of the line gaming, you can enjoy what by all metrics is a top of the line monitor as you enjoy your favorite shows.

Put On A Show With Your Games

If you’re a streamer, the MSI GE76 Raider would be one of the best things you can add to your arsenal. It features a HD webcam, allowing you to capture your face with complete clarity. The webcam goes up to 1080p, so even if you’re taking a break from games and just want to address your fans, you can rest assured you won’t look like a discolored smear no matter what screen you’re broadcasting from.

There’s also the Dragon Center software, which lets you customize various features with the laptop. It’s more than just a fancy light display for your colorscheme, though. The latest iteration of Dragon Center that comes with the GE76 has two new features, perfect for those who need to put on a show online.

One of these the Duet Display, which lets you keep track of any second display you have plugged in to the GE76 Raider’s 4K-enabled HDMI port. Duet Display also allows for screen mirroring, letting you stream even mobile games from the Raider.

There’s also the sound cancelling feature, which lets you keep unwanted noises out of your streams. This means professional quality audio on your streams, regardless of where you’re streaming from.

The GE76 Raider Is Connected, At All Costs

Another big hallmark with the GE76 Raider is its WiFi 6E, which allows more stable and higher speed internet even if its competing with multiple devices. It also features a much lower latency than its predecessors, meaning you won’t have to worry about sudden connection drops. MSI says the GE76 Raider is the first laptop in the world to utilize WiFi 6E, meaning you’ll be running one of the best wifi setups for your gaming.

That’s not to say you’re forced into relying on wi-fi, though. The GE76 Raider comes with an RJ45 connector, letting you plug an ethernet cable into your machine for a more stable experience. With these options you can have a machine that’s either set as a dedicated workstation, or carried around so you can game on the go, without having to worry about losing features.

In fact, the GE76 Raider also uses Killer Gaming LAN, preventing lag spikes to make sure you’re not denied the apex of you esports career because your connection suddenly got cold feet. Whether wired or wi-fi, the GE76 Raider has you covered.

Adding to that is the GE76 Raiders’ high-capacity battery. This beast comes with a 99.9Whr battery, with an expected battery life doubling that of its predecessors. This means even if the power goes out, you won’t have to worry about doing the mad dash to hit a save point before the laptop turns itself off, since you’ll be good for a decent amount of time before it decides its time to stop.

Elite Sound System 

For those of us who don’t have to worry about other people in the immediate area, there’s nothing more freeing than letting your gaming systems play full blast without any headphones. That’s not going to feel much better than doing it with the GE76 Raider, which has its special Dynaudio system using four speakers, two of which are woofers. This gives you Hi-Resolution sound that’s sure to make you immersed in your gaming experience, thanks to Nahimic.

Be it the visceral background music of games like Doom Eternal or even just watching movies on Netflix, you’re sure to have a great time with the GE76’s absolutely top class audio.

Be it streaming, watching your favorite movies or just gaming like a legend, the GE76 Raider has a host of features to make it a must-have if you’re upgrading your gaming hardware this year. As long as your defining caveat is that you want a good laptop, you’ll probably find what you need in the GE76 Raider.

On top of all that, it just looks cool, having that MSI aesthetic of equal parts fantasy relic and reliable machine. It’s got a humble asking price of RM9,999 and will be available via MSI’s website and participating stores.
