Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

As a brand focused on players, MSI never gives up the development of feverish games. Whenever MSI has any advanced and novel technology, it will always try something new on this kind of feverish games. Our protagonist Weixing forcibly attacked GE67 HX is a feverish e-sports game that pulls up all kinds of configurations.

Its CPU uses a new family of mobile processors recently released by intel, the HX series, which introduces a super-large core scale of 16 cores and 24 threads on the mobile, and basically replicates the desktop i9-12900K processor. At the same time, this is the first MSI game with an OLED screen, and the ultra-high parameters of 2.5K 240Hz can definitely be called the pinnacle of mobile performance. In this article, CTOnews.com will show you its full strength.

The design is forcible GE67 HX is a standard size 15.6inch flagship game book, the weight is 2.38kg, BWH 358x267x23.4 mm. The 329.6W power adapter that comes with it is very large, so you can see that it is more for the desktop gaming experience. The A side is made of frosted metal, with the classic microstar dragon shield LOGO in the middle, and two shoulder gauntlet protrusions are designed at the lower rotating shaft.

The B side is a 15.6in 2.5K 240Hz ultra-high refresh rate OLED screen, which is not only MSI's first OLED screen notebook, but more importantly, 240Hz competitive OLED also appears in the industry for the first time. OLED screen has the advantages of accurate color, high brightness and uniform, high contrast and good compatibility with HDR. It is not only very friendly to creative designers, but also the ultra-fast response speed of 0.2ms, which is very suitable for fans who are racing against the clock.

There is also a 1080p video camera and a pair of microphones above side B. for players who need live streaming, they can broadcast in high definition without an external device.

The C side is a keyboard created with Sailui, which responds quickly and rebounds forcefully when pressed. The power key is in the upper right corner and feels the same as other keys, and there is an independent RGB backlight under each button.

Below the keyboard is the 1670 million color matrix panoramic dazzling lighting system wrapped in prisms. Compared with the light belt of other RGB games, the color transition of the panoramic dazzling light effect system is very soft, and the keyboard lights reflect each other, which is quite advanced. The keyboard can edit the pattern you want through the SteelSeries GG software, and you can also display different lighting effects according to the amount of blood in the game, killing and other information.

The D face uses a honeycomb heat dissipation hole design, and there is a cushion design at the top, which can increase the air intake and enhance the heat dissipation capacity, and there is a personalized MSI logo in the lower right corner.

The interfaces on the side are very rich, with a USB3.2 Type-A Gen 2 (10Gbps) interface on the left, a USB-C (10Gbps) interface that supports DP output, and a 3.5mm headphone port. The rear side is followed by power supply port, Lightning 4 interface (supporting 8K DP video output), HDMI2.1 video output port (supporting 8K@60Hz / 4K@120Hz) and RJ45 network cable interface. The right interface is two USB3.2 Type-A Gen 1 (5Gbps) and one SD card reader. The layout of the interface of the whole machine is very reasonable, and the interfaces that need to be pulled are placed on the back of the fuselage.

As we mentioned earlier in the screen test, this is MSI's first OLED screen notebook, which is equipped with a 15.6inch 2.5K 240Hz OLED screen, supports 100% DCI-P3 professional wide color gamut, has passed the Display HDR TrueBlack 600 certification, and has 0.2ms extremely fast response time. It not only can give play to the advantages of professional colors to meet creative designs, but also its e-sports performance has exceeded the limits of previous LCD screens.

OLED screen is also very suitable for gamers. On the one hand, its refresh rate can be very high, on the other hand, its response time is much higher than that of the traditional LCD screen. At the same time, MSI also has built-in TrueColor color software, in which there are multiple sets of color schemes, the default is suitable for the game "gamer" mode, in addition, there are more standard sRGB and AdobeRGB, DCI P3 color gamut and other preset options.

We adjusted the screen to the highest 2.5K 240Hz and manually adjusted the brightness to the highest 373nits under SDR. Then the gamut color accuracy test is carried out with the color calibrator, and it is measured that in the default game mode, the gamut covers almost 99.8% of the sRGB,93.2% Adobe RGB and 98.8% of the P3 gamut, which is already quite excellent.

If you switch to sRGB mode, the system will reduce the color limit, and the color gamut volume is close to 100%, which perfectly solves the problem of OLED supersaturation in Windows system.

Finally, let's test the DCI P3 color gamut mode, which is the most accurate and suitable for content creators.

We also tested the color performance after manually switching to the DCI P3 color gamut. The measured color gamut covers 100% sRGB, 84.7% Adobe RGB and 99.8% DCI P3, which is more comprehensive than the default mode coverage.

Color accuracy performance is OK, the average color offset value Δ E 0.74, the maximum Δ E 2.34, not color correction will not be uncomfortable, after color correction is the professional level of color performance.

In HDR mode, its local peak brightness can reach about 550560 nit, which basically meets the requirements of HDR600. Watching HDR video is more obvious, real and shocking.

Next, let's take a look at its high 240Hz refresh rate. As we all know, e-sports professional buddies often use high refresh rate monitors and use MPRT flicker to further reduce LCD latency in order to minimize screen delay. However, no matter how hard LCD tries, its response speed is not comparable to that of OLED monitors. It supports the fastest response of 0.2ms, and it can take the lead in playing e-sports games like CSGO.

In order to show you the advantage of 0.2MS response time intuitively, the author chose another 120Hz LCD screen to run UFO TEST at the same time as a comparison, set the shutter speed to the same, and then took a picture. As can be seen from the picture below, the relatively slow response LCD screen is easy to produce residual images around moving objects.

In contrast, MSI attacks GE67 HX, a 0.2ms response OLED screen with much less shadow, which can bring better competitive state in the game and avoid the occurrence of 3D vertigo to some extent.

Another major feature of the hardware analysis attack on GE67 HX is that it comes with intel's latest 12-generation Core HX flagship processor. The so-called HX flagship processors are a class of mobile standard pressure processors with 55W TDP. Their core size is the same as that of desktop-level processors of the same class, with up to 16 cores and 24 threads, 16 processors directly connected to PCIe Gen 5.0channels, DDR5 (up to 4800MHz / 5200MHz) and DDR4 memory (up to 3200MHz / LPDDR4 4267MHz) that support up to 128GB.

The i9-12900HX carried in this machine is even directly recognized as desktop-level i9-12900K in CPU-Z. It is built by intel 7 10nm process and has 8 performance cores + 8 energy efficient cores, of which 8 large cores support hyperthreading technology, so there are 16 cores and 24 threads. The basic frequency is 3.6GHz, the Rui frequency is 5.0GHz, and the third-level cache is up to 30MB. The default TDP is 55W, but this is only a benchmark requirement. As for how aggressive MSI is in performance, we will know later in the grill.

The graphics card is currently the strongest GPU--GeForce RTX 3080 Ti on the mobile side. It is equipped with 7424 CUDA cores and 256bit 16GB GDDR6 display memory. It achieves a bandwidth of 512GB / s on a notebook for the first time. It is currently the largest and fastest notebook GPU with video memory. TDP is consistent with RTX 3080, with an official preset of 150W, but up to 175W can be achieved through Dynamic Boost power balancing technology.

So what kind of heat dissipation module is used to suppress these two desktop cores? Then let's take a look at the efforts made by MSI to attack GE67 HX in terms of heat dissipation. It can be seen that it uses a double-fan + seven heat pipe Cooler Boost 5 micro-star cold Pro heat dissipation system, this heat dissipation module is quite domineering.

In front of the baking machine, we first turn on the extreme mode in MSI Center, and then single-bake CPU. At first, i9-12900HX can reach more than 150W turbocharged power. After 15Min's single-baked FPU, CPU can maintain about 108W and the temperature is about 86 ℃. This heat dissipation module can hold down even if it is plugged into a desktop processor, which is not not powerful.

Then we use FurMark doughnuts for single-baked GPU, the RTX 3080Ti can be stabilized at 165W full power consumption, the temperature is about 78 ℃. It can be seen that its heat dissipation ability is quite solid.

Next we bake both CPU and GPU to simulate maximum pressure and run double baking for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, the CPU stabilized at 55W and 73 ℃, and the GPU stabilized at 165W and 80 ℃, adding up to 220W of performance release, which filled the TDP of the two cores.

In CineBench R20, which represents the theoretical performance of CPU, the score of 731 for single thread and 9179 for multi-thread is obtained. What is the level of this score? The multi-core is basically equal to i7-12700K, while the single core is between i7-12700K and i9-12900K. It really achieves the desktop-level performance experience on the notebook.

In R23, the score of 1904 points for single thread and 23440 points for multi-thread can be said to be a complete copy of the strong performance of i9-12900K.

Next, let's take a look at the performance of the graphics card. The GPU run score in 3DMark Time Spy reached 13213, and the GPU run score in 3DMark Firestrike Extreme reached 16283, which is about 10% higher than that of RTX 3080. It is the king of mobile performance today.

Below the cooling module are two pieces of DDR5 memory, each 16GB 4800MHz, a total of 32GB, memory performance is excellent, enough to meet the vast majority of rigorous creative production needs.

Samsung PM9A1, which comes with a 2T hard drive, is a high-performance Pcie 4.04high-speed hard drive. In addition, there is an additional M.2 interface in the fuselage to facilitate self-expansion.

It is also worth mentioning that forcibly attacking GE67 HX carries a killer AX1675i Nic specially built for e-sports players, which has roughly the same performance as AX211, but supports the killer's exclusive traffic control program, making the game with lower latency and less stutter.

The bottom battery is also integrated with MSI's glorious tradition: 99.99Wh 's oversized battery, which is also the largest battery capacity that can be carried on a plane, is believed to be far better than other game books.

Game measurement from the above, we can see that the theoretical performance of MSI attacking GE67 HX can be called the first echelon in notebooks, so what about its actual game experience? Let's test it now. All of the following games will be tested in 2.5K resolution + highest image quality + extreme mode in MSI Center + direct connection mode alone, and in balanced gear DLSS if there is DLSS.

First of all, the game of e-sports, we selected "CS:GO", "PUBG", "Apex Legend" and "Forever robbery" four mainstream e-sports games for testing. Because it is equipped with 240Hz's ultra-high refresh rate OLED screen, it is very clear in these competitive games against the clock. In "CS:GO", the measured running BenchMark can run up to 474 frames at the highest picture quality, which can run all over this electronic competition screen.

"PUBG" measured in 2.5K highest picture quality can run to an average of about 175frames, fast movement is also clear and sharp.

The performance of "Apex Legend" is also very similar, reaching about 170frames at the highest quality of 2.5K.

In the domestic martial arts Battle Royale Games "forever robbed forever", 2.5K highest picture quality + balanced DLSS can achieve an average of about 130,140frames, the knife spelling experience is very excellent.

Next, let's test the 3A games with higher configuration requirements. In Tomb Raider: shadow, with the highest 2.5k special effects, the number of frames is as high as 103 frames, so playing 3A is not a problem.

Next, let's test the hot "Alden Ring". At the highest quality of 2.5K resolution, we can run to about 104 frames, which is a very good experience.

In the action game masterpiece Ares 4, it can also reach a high number of 107 frames.

The last game is Cyberpunk 2077, which is so stressful that few desktops can play it all. But the forcible attack GE67 HX in 2.5K resolution super light pursuit + the highest picture quality + balanced DLSS position, can still be stable at 60 frames, is currently the strongest game performance of a batch of games.

Productivity performance high performance e-sports games in addition to playing games, but also often undertake the task of creative work, such as cutting videos, doing special effects and modeling rendering. So what about the productivity performance of MSI attacking GE67 HX? In Adobe Premiere, which is commonly used by creative workers, we turn on GPU Cuda acceleration and then test it with PugetBenchmark. The final score is 887. It seems that this multicore + Cuda acceleration configuration is perfect for video clips.

In another stressful special effects software, Adobe Effects, we also use PugetBenchmark for testing. The final score is 1352, and the productivity is excellent.

With such an excellent 2.5K OLED screen, it is also very appropriate to modify the picture. The measured PugetBench for PS can reach 1332 points, which can be used to repair super-large PSD.

In addition to creative production, we also use Blender and V-Ray, two commonly used modeling and rendering software, to test the performance of some 3D design and industrial software. The scores are as follows. For those who need 3D modeling and CAD design, it can also be competent to attack GE67 HX.

Battery life also affects productivity to a great extent, and finally we test its continuous office life performance. We switched between dual display and triple mode, turned on mixed output mode + power saving mode and ran PCMark 8 modern office life test, and finally ran continuously for about 4 hours and 50 minutes, which could meet the needs of short-term offline office and games.

Summing up the most impressive part of MSI's attack on GE67 HX is its 2.5K 240Hz OLED screen. The author has experienced some CSGO professional brother of the same style of 240Hz e-sports display, the response speed is indeed very fast, but the cost is also obvious: MPRT flicker hurt eyes, TN material color deviation. And MSI chooses to use OLED to do such an electronic competition screen, which not only ensures a very low delay, but also provides a first-class look and feel, which should be the development direction of the electronic competition screen in the future.

If you are a fan of video games and pursue absolute speed, or if you are a creative worker and need extreme efficiency, it would be a good choice to attack GE67 HX, a powerful game with the same hardware specifications as the top CPU+GPU of microstar Titan GT77. At present, Qiang GE67 HX has been listed on the market, the price is 24999 yuan, if you are interested, you can go and buy it.
