MSI Katana GF66 Unboxing - $1100 Gaming Laptop! (RTX 3060 + Intel Core i5-11400H)

Laptops are really cool these days, the fact that they can even try to cool a strong gpu without any big heatsinks alone is just mind boggling

[@ChrisMiller223]

You should check out the G14, very good cooling for such a tiny laptop

[@pratushpohuja]

@@ChrisMiller223 its expensive too

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

Yes but since I have the Lenovo legion 5 from videos it has the best cooling ever

[@SoeZ-]

the problems in laptops in my experience is not gpu temps, is the cpu :/. With the time dust enter in the fans and temps increase a lot. Open it its no a good idea, you can lost warranty.

I own this laptop and I don't really recommend it to anyone because of its build quality. The first few months were perfectly fine but after the 4th month parts start to break if its used a lot. The wifi card in it has some problems as well, I'll be playing a game online with friends and will get booted from my internet and when I try to reconnect it says I have no internet sources even though everyone else in my house does. I would highly recommend finding a different gaming laptop if you are thinking about buying it.

[@thelandonm1357]

Sheeeeeesh

[@gamingterrain3703]

Bo2 does that sometimes for me too. Not sure if its a driver issue but usually changing it to either fullscreen or fullscreen borderless fixes the issue. Obviously performance should be way better

[@TheDaigus]

I couldnt remember if is a dual gpu setting, because in other cod titles gives me the same issue

[@aravinda2120]

maybe its the temperature . when the temperature goes too high the gpu tries to lower the temperature by reducing the clock speed of the gpu (under volting) that is why the fps is drooping . At least thats what i think . i think lifting the laptop up using some books or cooling pad for more ventilation should solve the problem . And sorry if im wrong

[@dr.joka-norskgamingnorskvl3306]

Yeah you need to take down the res if you want better peformance. I did it on my school laptop

[@gamingterrain3703]

@@aravinda2120 no thats not the issue. The temperature wasn't so high to where the fps would fluctuate so much. Every other game worked fine so its definitely a problem with bo2 specifically. And thats not what undervolting is btw. What you described was thermal throttling. Undervolting is where voltage to the cpu/gpu is reduced

[@gamingterrain3703]

@@dr.joka-norskgamingnorskvl3306 no you dont need to do that on this laptop. It has a 3060. My 2060 laptop gets over 200fps and this laptop runs far heavier games without problems so its a problem with bo2 specifically.

[@vanshitshivani4176]

Laptops have come really far, especially in 2022,ryzen laptops have a pretty good cooling this year and a considerably good gaming performance....

[@piedepew]

My ass lol . I agree that ryzen might have better cooling this year but . It's nowhere near intel 12th gen performance. You can search for the i5 12th gen vs ryzen 7 6800(i am not sure about this name tbh , but i mean latest gen ryzen 7) , Intel 12th gen processors just beat everything in terms of performance***

[@vanshitshivani4176]

@@piedepew when did I ever say ryzen was better than Intel , battery life and temps and power efficiency are the most important things in any laptop , I will take a few dip in fps over bad thermals , insane power draw and laughable battery life any day

genuinely love msi laptops already played red dead and cyberpunk on one of them and everything runned very good, not as most people would suspect (of course it's not the same as a real gaming pc, but for someone with low budget like me who still wants to experience new games, it's really worth it)

[@kevinjansky4392]

@TheRelaxingEnd : You should also use a cooling pad when gaming with a notebook or put the notebook a bit higher at the back so that more cool air can be drawn. But I'd rather recommend a cooling pad.

[@fatahillah6397]

Brand suggest?

[@polardabear]

@@fatahillah6397+ Get the cheapest decent one. I got one non-branded one for 10€. It has two fans which work well. The purpose of the cooling pad is to improve airflow inside the laptop. For example my ssd runs a lot hotter without the cooling pad on.

Mr Petit panier, It's not like everyone was born in a rich family, $1100 is really expensive after turning into my country's currency, not many parents will be willing to buy their kids a $1000++ device at my place Even if casual gamers like us can manage to save up some money from our job, we wouldn't decide to buy it as soon as we have enough money, any normal person wouldn't burn through their whole bank account just to buy a gaming device, so i bet u must be one of those kids that ur rich parents keep buying expensive stuff for u

That stuttering you faced during the game was because of gpu temperature. You need to use cooler booster for heavy games. It doesn't go automatically at max speed of fan. I don't know why.

For the people who will be confused and already are. Relaxing's blade is far to short to be a katana, it's instead called a Wakisashi, which is literally a short katana. I know it might not be that big of a deal but we can atleast try to call it the right thing

[@midnightjay]

I think msi laptops are a hit or miss. My first one was great but the current one I have it's okay but a lot of adjusting with the graphics card to help with under performance/heat/fps issues. Though models/specs matter even a high end msi can have those issues. I had them with Far Cry 6, was getting too hot (hitting between 95-97) and had fps issues.

Performance fro price is amazing... The reason I wouldn't recommend this model is build quality... Msi for the longest has had problems with the hinges on there laptops... On the newer model starting around 2020 or so they completely redesigned the hinge and most ( but not all problems have been fixed or at least reduced significantly) but if you look at Msi budget models like the GL/GF series they are still using the cheaper more prone to break hinges... And anyways a GP66 would only cost you like 100-200$ more....with an i7...
