Cyberpunk 2077 is pretty graphic intensive and puts a lot of load on the hardware. If you look at the top corner of the display, you’ll check out all the CPU GPU stats. So just have a look at that whenever I’m doing this benchmarks.

 

So in this first clip, we’re playing the game at 1080p resolution, graphics set to very high preset, and we are not using any sort of Nvidia technologies, no rate tracing, no DLSS, not even frame generation.

 

 

Perfomance when you play a heavy game

 

I want to show you the raw rasterization performance of this hardware. So there you go boys. As you people can see on an average we were getting around like 60 to 65 fps guys at very high graphics preset. But wait until I actually enable DLSS and frame generation. So quickly enabling both of them at 1080p very high and keeping rate tracing off. Bam. Now this is the kind of magic I’m talking about. Let’s actually do that. I’ve enabled rate tracing keeping all the graphics preset same as the previous clip. And yes, obviously DLSS and frame generation are also enabled.

 

Look at the difference guys. Straight from 6065. Now the game is running at around like 145 to 150 fps on this system. Now that is the kind of performance I’m talking about. Muscar AAA gaming over here. The next question you might ask is can the laptop also handle rate tracing at 1080p. Okay, as you people can see enabling rate tracing has definitely reduced the frame rate because it obviously puts a lot of load on the hardware, right?

 

Now at 1080p very high with the rate tracing enabled we were getting around like 90 to 95 fps. Not bad guys actually quite impressive is what I can say. I mean look at the graphics over here. So till now we’ve been doing all these benchmarks at 1080p resolution. Right now let’s actually try running the game at the laptop’s native display resolution. Again, I’ve told you right Spider-Man 2 is like pretty graphic intensive. So, these were the results.

 

 

Basically quad HD plus 1440p resolution keeping all the graphics same as before very high and also rate tracing DLSS frame generation everything turned on. Okay, there you go. Even at 1440p quad HD plus resolution, right, we were still getting around like 75 to 80 fps, guys. So, just like this, I’ve also tried variety of other AAA games as well and was getting like very similar sort of results. Moving on, let’s also play one more game which is Spider-Man 2.

 

This is also a pretty graphic intensive game guys and even powerful PCs also sometimes struggle run in this game. So, we’re playing this game at 1080p resolution, very high graphics preset, and just like before in this first clip, we’re not using any Nvidia technologies. I want to show you the rawization performance. Okay, so with these sort of settings, on an average, we were getting around like 50 to 55 fps. Not bad, I would say. Quickly enabling DLSS and frame generation at 1080p greatly improves the results.

 

 

After enable DLSS frame

 

Now we were getting almost like 85 to 90 FPS. Sometimes even goes above 100 also. Okay. So that was at 1080p. Now what about at 1440p quad HD plus resolution. So let’s quickly bump up the resolution to quad HD plus. And these are the results. We were getting around like 45 to 50 fps with all Nvidia technologies on guys. DLSS frame generation is also enabled. See if you want to play these sort of new gen games at maximum graphics and also high frame rates.

 

I would suggest you to go for a 1080p resolution guys. you’ll get best and optimal results. Also guys, remember at the beginning I’ve told you that this is a co-pilot plus AIPC. And by clicking over here, you can access all the other sections and features. You’re getting full-on co-pilot integration along with a dedicated co-pilot key on the keyboard and not to miss out MSI AI engine on board. You can easily access all of these features using MSI center. Let me quickly give you like a walk around and show you all of that. On the home screen, the app gives you like a detailed hardware monitoring data that to in real time.

 

In the user scenario mode, you have like five different system profiles to choose from like balanced mode, silent mode, extreme performance mode, and a special AI mode as well, which when set, MSI’s AI engine automatically sets the proper system profile depending on the current workload and scenario. You don’t need to do anything. MSI’s AI engine will automatically do everything for you. So, that is pretty much it.

 

 

Battery backup and fast charging

 

This laptop is powered by a 99.9w 4 cell lithium-ion battery and battery life was kind of decent is what I can see. No, just like any other gaming laptops on a moderate sort of usage with the brightness set to around like 50 to 60%, you’re doing casual day-to-day sort of work, a bit of productivity, AI work as well, right? Roughly, Then the laptop will only last for like 1 one and a half hour max. But not to worry, you’re getting a big 240 watt power adapter, right? So that quickly tops up the battery life. you can expect around like 4 and 1/2 to 5 hours of battery life. But if you’re a hardcore gamer, you’re playing games on battery which usually nobody does, right?

 

Main aspects of the laptop and start off with the display

So this laptop is actually available in like multiple display variants. You get IPS edition, OLED panel variant is also there. Today in the home, our laptop features a 16 in 16×10 aspect ratio quad HD plus 240 Hz high refresh rate IPS level panel. And as I’ve told you, I’ve been using the laptop for the last couple of days and not just for my day-to-day casual sort of work. I’ve even binged watched plenty of movies and web series as well on OTT platforms and did a bit of gaming as well. And honestly speaking, display quality is fabulous for the price tag.

Black levels are also decent. And coming to colors, color quality, color reproduction. Everything was on point, guys. All thanks to its high quality IPS panel. Look at these RGB values over here. If you’re a content creator, right, and you do a bit of photo editing, video editing, nothing to worry about. Laptop is great for AI and content creation sort of applications. And moving on to the brightness, brightness of the panel is also nice. You can easily expect around like 300 350 nits, not an issue at all.

I’m telling you, right, for the price that you’re paying, you’ll be like plenty happy and satisfied with the display quality on this model. There’s good amount of detail. Quad HD plus resolution at 16 in. Text looks crisp and clear and very easily readable. Contrast ratio is nice.

Now, coming to the overall audio performance. Now, sound on this laptop is special, guys. You’re getting six speaker setup that two with a brand new trilateral design. So basically, you’re getting two speakers and four woofers. Totally can produce around like 12 watts of audio output. See guys, usually I’m not that happy with the built-in speakers on a gaming laptop. I’ve seen so many models, but over here now when I actually opened YouTube and played some music videos, right, I was literally blown away by the sound, guys. Excellent quality audio.

All the dialogues like crisp, clear, audible, and treble performance was also nice. I’m telling you right, it’s great for entertainment purpose. I know you guys have been waiting for this part, right? How is the overall laptop’s performance in day-to-day sort of usage? So, before we get to the gaming test and benchmarks, right? First of all, let me tell you about the hardware specs and configuration.

This laptop is available in like various CPU variants. Today, our model is powered by AMD’s all new Ryzen AI 9365 CPU. This is based on their all new 4nome Zen 5 architecture and features 10 cores 20 threads with a max boost clock frequency of up to 5 GHz. Not to miss out, you’re also getting integrated GPU as well that is based on RDNA 3.5 architecture. Plus, main highlight as I’ve told you guys, you’re getting one of the fastest NPUs available in the market for Windows platform.

AMD’s XDNA 2 NPU that can offer up to like 50 tops of AI performance. Now pair this brand new CPU with RTX 4070 or 4060 variant is also there. So our particular variant features RTX 4070 GPU with up to 8 gigs of GDDDR6 memory. Max switch support is also there. And if you ask about the TGP, right? So it is rated at 105 watt with dynamic boost 2.0. Plus, we’re also getting 32 gigs of LPDDR5X RAM clocked at 7500 MHz. And yes, the RAM is also easily upgradeable. Not an issue at all. And pair that with one TB PCI Gen 4 SSD. You’re getting two slots available, guys. So yes, the storage is also expandable up to 2TB. So I’ve been using the laptop for the last couple of days for my day-to-day related works, office related stuff, you know, like photo editing, text editing.

 

4k photo editing and gaming test

I’ve also ran like a dozen Chrome tabs in the background and nothing seemed to slow it down. Overall performance has been great for my day-to-day usage. What Photoshop or text editing? You can even do like 4K video editing on Premiere Pro. Let’s finally get to the gaming benchmarks and see what sort of performance we’ll get. So, I was a bit curious how do these new AMD Ryzen AI 300 series CPUs perform when paired with RTX40 series GPUs. No sweat at all. I mean, look at this.

Especially if you’re like a creator, right, and you do a lot of AI related workloads or maybe like content creation, you’ll be like quite happy and satisfied with overall performance over here. Just have a look at the scores. First of all, let me tell you our particular variant features RTX 4070 with 8 gigs of VRAM, right? And the TGP is rated at 105 watt with dynamic boost 2.0. So this sort of configuration is great for doing a high frame rate 1080p gaming or you can even do like smooth 1440p gaming.

So, we’ll be playing a couple of A title games at different resolutions and also at different graphics preset as well. And I’ll give you like a detailed overview what sort of results you’ll get over here. And yes, the configuration does support Nvidia technologies like rateracing, DLSS 3.5 and frame generation as well. I’ve also ran some benchmarks like Cinebench, Geekbench.
