Portable performance, in QHD
MSI calls the chassis color “core black”.So, the frame rates. At the GS76’s native QHD resolution,ran at 55 frames per second on its maximum preset. Bumped down to 1080p , that frame rate rose to 70 frames per second. The benchmark looked fine in both cases, with no visible stuttering.registered 51 frames per second with ray tracing on Ultra and 80 frames per second with ray tracing off in QHD. Lowering to 1080p resolution brought those averages up to 77 and 114 frames per second, respectively.
And, of course, my regular Chrome, Zoom, and Slack workload went just fine on this device. The GS76 had no problem running a Zoom call over a huge dump of Chrome tabs, even with Battery Saver on. There are a few different fan profiles that you can swap between with F8. It is worth noting that the most active Extreme Performance setting, which you’d presumably want to use during gaming and heavy work, is.
The port selection has no devastating omissions. There’s a power jack, an RJ45 Ethernet port, two USB-A, a headphone jack, an SD slot, two USB-C, and an HDMI. There’s no dedicated DisplayPort, but the USB-C does support it. Gaming laptops of this size are starting to stick ports on the rear of the chassis, but the GS76 still has them all on the sides.The keyboard is quite comfortable, though there is one… oddity.
Two other notes for potential buyers: One, the touchpad, while smooth to scroll on, has a bit of a thin click that takes some getting used to. In addition, the 720p IR webcam is terrible. It’s so grainy and full of noise that I just ended up turning it off most of the time. It also made my face look weirdly bright red . It does support Windows Hello facial recognition, which is handy.
