WEBVTT 00:00:00.420 --> 00:00:05.279 playing alone sucks I had so much fun at 00:00:03.540 --> 00:00:09.420 whale land that I'm ready to pack up and go to another land party but no 00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:13.460 compromises this time I want all the performance and I want all my games 00:00:13.639 --> 00:00:20.880 this is not gonna work if only there was some portable device that you could use 00:00:19.020 --> 00:00:27.420 to replace your desktop but without compromising on performance maybe it 00:00:23.220 --> 00:00:29.939 could be battery powered with a keyboard 00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:34.559 it's a laptop when MSI heard that we wanted to go all out on a mobile battle 00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:40.200 station they stepped up to sponsor this video with the Titan gt77 the most 00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:44.160 powerful laptop they offer and we're going to be upgrading it and extending 00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:47.360 it to the limit to make it a true desktop replacement 00:00:55.440 --> 00:01:06.960 let's start with what it comes with every gt77 includes a 128 Gigabyte flash 00:01:02.579 --> 00:01:08.700 drive an m99 RGB gaming mouse and a 00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:13.020 little lucky the dragon keychain all of which I'm going to oh my God find at 00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:15.960 some point here because this machine is designed for people who want the most 00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:20.040 Overkill possible performance there's actually not a ton of choice when it 00:01:17.580 --> 00:01:25.500 comes to configurations our model the 12uhs has a 3080 TI more on that in a 00:01:23.220 --> 00:01:30.380 bit but there's also a 3070 TI available if that's too fast for you and in either 00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:37.560 case you can choose between an I9 12900hx that's what we've got or an i712 00:01:33.780 --> 00:01:39.900 800hx each with the same 8p core 8 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:43.740 e-core configuration we've got all of this linked down below now being in 00:01:41.759 --> 00:01:51.180 North America our laptop is equipped with a 120 hertz 4K IPS display that's 00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:56.640 what they claimed DCI P3 coverage of 100 percent 00:01:52.979 --> 00:01:58.979 like like a hundred like wow all right 00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:04.200 and if you're in other markets there's also a 1080p 360hz option in case you're 00:02:01.979 --> 00:02:09.899 looking for every possible competitive Advantage for gaming good gravy and the 00:02:08.220 --> 00:02:13.800 best part is that if anyone tries to steal it not only will they get tired 00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:17.760 trying to carry it down the street but you can throw this power brick at them 00:02:15.540 --> 00:02:22.920 likely stop them in their tracks I think I trust it farther than I could throw it 00:02:20.540 --> 00:02:27.120 330 Watts nice reversible power connector but before we plug it in why 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:31.020 don't we crack it open and see what it needs that 00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:36.060 330 Watts for 11 screws later it's time to reveal a 00:02:33.720 --> 00:02:40.319 feature that is exclusive to laptops of this caliber assuming I can actually get 00:02:37.500 --> 00:02:43.920 anything open come on baby come on you can do 00:02:41.160 --> 00:02:50.120 okay this is sick check this out not one not two but four memory slots so you can 00:02:48.180 --> 00:02:59.760 load up a whopping 128 gigs of ddr5 memory in this thing 00:02:54.180 --> 00:03:03.540 and four count them one two three four 00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:06.420 SSD slots that wild or what a quick word 00:03:03.540 --> 00:03:11.640 by the way about these n.2 slots the two up here are wired directly to the CPU 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:15.659 while these two go through the chipset MSI helpfully silk screens this info 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:20.400 onto the motherboard or you can just follow the traces if you're a big nerd 00:03:18.239 --> 00:03:25.560 for now though three of them are painfully empty and that just won't do 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:27.540 for our Overkill laptop build here is 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:31.440 this thing on hmm well maybe we should power it off 00:03:29.940 --> 00:03:35.519 before I poke around too much more with the screwdriver the fastest way to fix 00:03:33.420 --> 00:03:38.340 this problem is to unplug the battery which I mean we should be doing when 00:03:36.959 --> 00:03:44.599 we're working on it anyway step one is to double our included 00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:48.180 memory from 64 gigs to 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:50.099 128 gigs with these two 64 gig kits from 00:03:48.180 --> 00:03:53.220 crucial it should be noted that having four sticks like this does put 00:03:51.780 --> 00:03:57.239 additional strain on our integrated memory controller so we're going to be 00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:03.360 limited to 3600 Mega transfer per second speeds 00:03:58.700 --> 00:04:05.060 holy crap are we putting 32 terabytes of 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:09.720 storage in this thing 32 terabytes of storage in a laptop the 00:04:08.040 --> 00:04:14.040 number's gotten so big it sounds small again because like it can't possibly be 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:16.919 that you know what I mean like if I say yeah there's 32 terabytes of storage on 00:04:15.540 --> 00:04:23.699 this laptop you go oh wow it's a Chromebook probably then you're thinking gigabytes no no no no 00:04:20.419 --> 00:04:25.919 order of magnitude higher we actually 00:04:23.699 --> 00:04:30.120 missed something the key night among you might have noticed that this m.2 slot is 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:37.440 a little bit special it actually supports PCIe gen 5. unfortunately Gen 5 00:04:34.740 --> 00:04:42.720 ssds haven't quite hit the market yet but this laptop will be ready when they 00:04:40.500 --> 00:04:49.580 do probably this fall when all the next gen CPUs arrive until then we're gonna 00:04:44.940 --> 00:04:52.680 make do with our Gen 4 8 terabyte drive 00:04:49.580 --> 00:04:55.800 and each one of these is four times our 00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:58.380 original storage which means we're at 60 00:04:55.800 --> 00:05:03.240 next our original storage that's actually more in storage than the cost 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:07.220 of the laptop to start with and before you ask yes we're going to be raiding 00:05:05.460 --> 00:05:13.680 them we did raid zero right that's really stupid like really stupid 00:05:10.520 --> 00:05:15.540 OneDrive fails whole thing gone but 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:18.900 realistically we're just loading it up with games anyway right so we're almost 00:05:17.460 --> 00:05:26.580 ready to do that but first there's a few things that we want to take a look at inside this is a 99.99 watt hour battery 00:05:24.180 --> 00:05:29.940 that is literally as large as the law will permit if you want to take your 00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:35.400 laptop on a plane with you not that I would necessarily ah yeah you could 00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:42.180 travel with it portable workstation sure we've got a pair of two watt speakers as 00:05:38.580 --> 00:05:43.580 well as a Wi-Fi 60 capable killer Wi-Fi 00:05:42.180 --> 00:05:49.740 card which is right there to be clear uh killer no 00:05:47.400 --> 00:05:55.740 longer means bad it's actually um got it's an Intel chipset so cool of 00:05:52.860 --> 00:06:04.860 course the PS De La Resistance is the 3080 TI this is a full-fledged non-max Q 00:06:01.020 --> 00:06:08.039 design with 16 gigs of gddr6 that will 00:06:04.860 --> 00:06:10.620 suck back up to 175 watts to hit a 00:06:08.039 --> 00:06:14.580 maximum boost speed of 1640 megahertz and with an integrated mux switch you 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:18.660 can be sure that you're connected to the 3080 TI directly rather than routed 00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:26.100 through the igpu which means you're going to be getting the most frames possible out of your laptop that 175 00:06:23.220 --> 00:06:31.440 watts is part of the 250 Watts total that MSI's overboost provides to 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:34.620 distribute between the CPU and the GPU 00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:37.319 via into Lydia Dynamic Boost 2.0 what it 00:06:34.620 --> 00:06:42.180 essentially means is that in GPU limited games where you need every single one of 00:06:39.539 --> 00:06:48.660 those 175 watts to feed the 3080 TI you'll still have 75 Watts left over for 00:06:45.539 --> 00:06:51.539 the 12900 HX to hit a maximum turbo of 5 00:06:48.660 --> 00:06:56.880 gigahertz on the flip side in CPU limited games or other applications 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:59.460 either of the 16 core CPUs available for 00:06:56.880 --> 00:07:06.360 this laptop can draw up to 150 watts leaving just 80 remaining for the GPU 00:07:02.039 --> 00:07:10.560 unfortunately no you can't have 175 and 00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:12.479 150 because it's just not possible to do 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:15.720 in this form factor and like you'd be overwhelming your brick remember you've 00:07:14.280 --> 00:07:19.560 got to have all kinds of other power available for connected peripherals and 00:07:17.819 --> 00:07:26.160 all that good stuff too right now keeping this mess cool are four fans 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:28.440 that's right one two three four fans and 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:33.900 a laptop which are all fed through the ventilation holes in the bottom panel 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:37.139 there are also a total of six exhaust 00:07:33.900 --> 00:07:40.560 vents although In fairness this back one 00:07:37.139 --> 00:07:42.599 kind of counts as one gigantic exhaust 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:47.580 more impressive than the number of fans though is the number of heat pipes let's 00:07:44.520 --> 00:07:51.479 count them shall we one this one goes 00:07:47.580 --> 00:07:53.280 from GPU to just this heatsink two this 00:07:51.479 --> 00:07:57.720 one goes almost in a complete square and is also dedicated to the GPU feeding 00:07:55.620 --> 00:08:01.919 both this radiator and this one with heat now because we can share our power 00:08:00.060 --> 00:08:08.220 that means we also need to share our cooling so this one runs over to this 00:08:04.740 --> 00:08:09.660 and this heatsink in case our GPU is 00:08:08.220 --> 00:08:15.240 getting extra power and needs extra cooling there's a little heat pipe right 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:18.419 here that seems to be just for memory it 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:20.699 looks like memory then number five this 00:08:18.419 --> 00:08:27.300 one goes from our CPU all the way over to these radiators right here one two 00:08:22.979 --> 00:08:29.819 six this one is almost a full circle 00:08:27.300 --> 00:08:35.279 again and goes one two covers three radiators and goes over the CPU seven 00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:37.979 these two RADS and the CPU took a little 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:40.979 while to power on thanks to our Bizarro raid zero boot configuration 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:47.459 um like over a minute okay this is an 00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:52.380 interesting strategy to accommodate the powerful internal components NSI has a 00:08:49.620 --> 00:08:56.279 bit of a caboose on the back of the machine and I guess rather than try and 00:08:54.180 --> 00:09:01.440 stealthify it they're like business in the front party in the back 00:08:58.380 --> 00:09:04.440 let's go full RGB 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:07.200 RGB butt where where it loud and proud 00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:12.660 right just just own it just own it yeah I'm a big laptop 00:09:09.920 --> 00:09:15.140 yeah anyone else noticing a problem right now 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:27.000 sure it's going to ramp up to be very clear but yeah there it goes at idle it is 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:29.360 damn near silent okay this is hilarious 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:34.740 we have a grand total of 372 Steam games installed on this 00:09:31.980 --> 00:09:38.180 machine and the best part we're not even close to filling it up 00:09:41.459 --> 00:09:49.080 this is kind of nutty we're not getting the full benefit of our 120 hertz 00:09:45.839 --> 00:09:51.779 display on Ultra nightmare at 4K but 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:57.480 that's unreasonable but what we are seeing is anywhere from 80 to 110 frames 00:09:56.339 --> 00:10:02.040 per second I would not have thought this level of 00:09:59.940 --> 00:10:06.899 performance possible for a laptop even just a few years ago 00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:12.480 this is a cool little feature if the FPS indicator isn't enough for you to know 00:10:08.959 --> 00:10:15.180 you can check if the integrated GPU or 00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:19.260 the dedicated GPU is running simply by looking at the color of the little LED 00:10:16.860 --> 00:10:23.399 on the power button so it's red right now which means our dedicated graphics 00:10:21.180 --> 00:10:26.279 card is running but 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:30.000 actually tabbing out of the game won't be enough to change that if I exit the 00:10:27.899 --> 00:10:37.040 game does it take a little while to 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.040 to decide to switch over to the igp 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:42.180 so there we go yep it's white now oh and 00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:48.240 it's red again oh because when you're plugged in obviously you might as well 00:10:43.620 --> 00:10:49.560 just use the 3080 TI cool 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:54.180 for a game at the other end of the spectrum I fired up CS go and the idea 00:10:51.839 --> 00:10:59.279 here is that I want to see what kind of power our CPU is drawing now compared to 00:10:56.700 --> 00:11:05.120 our GPU so we're running at some of the neighborhood of 250 300 frames per 00:11:02.880 --> 00:11:10.860 second and yeah our GPU is only in the 00:11:07.740 --> 00:11:13.640 neighborhood of 120 130 watts and our 00:11:10.860 --> 00:11:18.660 CPU actually is only sitting at about 60 65. again it's surprisingly quiet in 00:11:17.820 --> 00:11:22.200 game but we're barely stressing the cooling 00:11:20.880 --> 00:11:27.300 system to be clear I can hear it just fine but 00:11:25.620 --> 00:11:32.100 compared to the way that some gaming laptops especially like the high-powered 00:11:29.459 --> 00:11:34.920 reasonably thin ones will just sound like they're going to take off from the 00:11:33.540 --> 00:11:38.300 table it's downright reasonable 00:11:40.500 --> 00:11:47.360 you know for little tiny speakers 00:11:44.160 --> 00:11:47.360 honestly not bad 00:11:54.180 --> 00:12:00.000 97 damage gosh darn it 00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:04.860 yes I wish to exit something we haven't talked about yet is the i o on this 00:12:02.100 --> 00:12:10.860 thing put some desktops to shame each of these USB type A's runs at 20 gigabit 00:12:08.160 --> 00:12:16.260 per second we've got one two three of those a uhs1 SD card slot headset Jack 00:12:14.459 --> 00:12:23.279 and then back around to the other side that is not one but two Thunderbolt four 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:28.860 ports as well as a mini DisplayPort and an HDMI out oh yeah two and a half gig 00:12:25.980 --> 00:12:32.399 Lan too and more cool stuff MSI has gone with a low profile Cherry MX keyboard 00:12:30.779 --> 00:12:36.300 powered by Steel Series so you can use steel series software in order to 00:12:33.839 --> 00:12:41.220 configure everything from per key macros to perky RGB lighting we also have a 00:12:38.820 --> 00:12:46.200 large glass touch pad fingerprint sensor and 720p IR webcam and the infrared is 00:12:45.180 --> 00:12:51.839 really important because that means you can use Windows hello and you never have to type a password or a pin again though 00:12:49.800 --> 00:12:55.920 if you do prefer a pin it's actually got a number pad 00:12:52.980 --> 00:13:01.079 for you gaming accountants out there millimeters thick and 1.8 pounds lighter 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:06.480 the gt77 looks like an obvious win compared to the gt76 that it replaces 00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:10.139 you guys can check it out at the link in the video description man you can pack a 00:13:08.760 --> 00:13:14.760 lot of performance in a gaming laptop these days assuming that it's got a large butt 00:13:13.860 --> 00:13:20.519 um I mean if you look at it it's all basically cooling right like they've 00:13:17.700 --> 00:13:25.680 taken the normal laptop form factor here 16x9 they've gone yep 00:13:22.920 --> 00:13:28.860 all cooling well that would have been extra thickness but it's actually 00:13:26.940 --> 00:13:32.779 probably quite a bit more efficient to do it this way which would explain why 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:32.779 it's so quiet
