VECTOR GP76 12TH
GEN GAMING LAPTOP
MSI’S VECTOR GP76 has landed in South Africa, and
prolific gamers, or really anyone who demands exceptional
performance from their computer, should take notice. This
beast of a machine confirms, rather emphatically, that laptops
can indeed deliver blistering speed and high performance.
When it comes to power, few laptops can match this
device. Its 12th Gen Intel Core i9 processor executes tasks
with lightning-quick efficiency. Compared to the previous
model, performance has been improved by a prodigious
45 per cent, a stat that really bodes well for intensive
multitasking projects. Powered by Ampere, NVIDIA’s
second-generation RTC architecture, a NVIDIA GeForce
RTX 3070Ti processing unit (GPU) takes care of the graphics- in layman’s terms, you’re in highly capable hands, as this
technology is incorporated into many of the world’s fastest
laptops, that are typically used by gamers and content
creators, who require high-quality hardware.
By maximising the CPU and GPU’s performance, MSI’s
OverBoost technology contributes to the ultimate gaming
experience, delivering up to 210 W of power (165 W – with
Dynamic Boost – from the GPU, and 45 W from the CPU).
Of course, with great power comes great heat, but you
needn’t worry, as both the CPU and GPU have dedicated
thermal solutions. Six heat pipes and two fans work together
to maximise air flow and dispel high temperates, which is
integral to smooth performance.
The 17.3” display has a refresh rate of 360 Hz, so game
visuals will always appear silky-smooth. Up to 64 GB of RAM
can be accommodated, dual speakers deliver an immersive
sound experience, and there is a headphone jack/mic-in
combo port.
Indeed, the price might feel steep, but with the Vector
GP76, MSI has truly delivered a powerhouse of a machine
that will handle even the most performance-demanding
games and tasks.
