For some PC game players who are keen on pursuing performance, the name MSI is never unfamiliar. The MSI that is printed on its products has already become a symbol of “powerful” and “a lot of fans” in mind. The ultimate totem.
The game title, titled "Gaming," is naturally no exception. In terms of performance, from the stacking of dual graphics cards to the exclusive use of Cooler Boost cooling technology; in terms of experience, from the introduction of mechanical keyboards to support of professional Killer NICs and top Dynaudio audio technology, MSI Games has been trying to use “powerful” and "Extreme" to win the hearts of players.
The MSI that has always been a surprise for players seems to have no intention of giving up on the possibility of challenging any one of the breakthrough limits. This time, it will put both design elements of “fashion” and “thin and light” into one game at the same time. In the game, a brand new game book was created - the MSI GS65 Stealth Thin.
Light and thin "elegant" and "cool"
In many people's minds, the game is heavy and thick.
When I was in college, my classmates who bought the game book were often dubbed as “meat games house” and backed by a laptop with 6, 7 pounds between the dormitory and the classroom, plus a power adapter of one pound or two of bricks. The straps of the schoolbags have long since been crushed.
Putting on the countertops, the volume and touching thickness of the "giant things" are as if they are out of touch with the life. Even if the game players will always defend their last stubbornness, they cannot be reconciled:
This volume and thickness is for performance, for the game.
But by 2018, this reason may not be enough. Because a lot of games now have to control the weight and thickness of a normal laptop, even smaller, and the MSI GS65 Stealth Thin is one of the best.
With a weight of 1.88kg and a thickness of 17.9mm, these specifications may not be considered as the thinnest notebooks on the market, but if they are in the field of games, such specifications are already very good.
You can look at the Alienware 15, which is the same as the game book next door. In a similar configuration, you get a weight of 3.49kg and a thickness of 25.4mm, even when the MSI GS65 and ThinkPad X280 with a "performance businessbook" (weight: 1.3kg, Thickness: 17.8mm) When compared, it is not too thin in light and thin.
It can be said that the specification of MSI GS65 in terms of thickness and weight is almost a gaming book that is close to the performance of business books. Because of its sharp, slender silhouette and the fact that it was out of the traditional game's "stupid big and rough" form, the MSI GS65 has the essence of the business book - elegance.
Let's take a look at this distinctive face of MSI GS65. Thanks to the 4.9mm narrow bezel design, the MSI GS65 has a smaller body area than the same 15.6-inch screen and can be easily placed in a shoulder bag.
Of course, with the "elegance" of being light and portable, the MSI GS65 has its own "cool" side of the game. Naturally, this "cool" will be shouldered by 16.8 million colors of RGB lights.
On the GS65 Stealth Thin, MSI provided it with a keyboard customized by Symantec SteelSeries. It also supplemented with a proprietary control software STEELSERIES ENGINE 3 to dominate the lighting of these 84 keys, and provided real-time lighting feedback for game interaction. With this software, you can arm the GS65 as a high-tech “blade” or let its stunning side bloom instantly.
It also has a screen that delights the player
As a gaming game for gaming, MSI GS65 has not forgotten its own heart. After doing a good job on the hardware, and having a nice look on the design, it hasn't fallen into the gaming experience.
Don't worry, I'm not talking about its hardware performance, but the screen that affects the gaming experience.
Players who love to play FPS or third-person shooters should all know the importance of the screen. In addition to the screen to be bright, size and resolution is large, the screen refresh rate is actually an important parameter that is easily overlooked.
Taking the common 60Hz display on the market and the 144Hz display that has recently become popular due to gaming as an example, the difference between a monitor that supports a 60Hz refresh rate and a monitor that supports a 144Hz refresh rate is that one is the screen refreshed for 1 second. 60 times, one is the screen refreshed 144 times in 1 second. For this value, the refresh rate of the 144Hz monitor is more than double that of the common 60Hz monitor.
You don’t think that if the picture reaches 30 frames, the human eye will feel smooth. In fact, sometimes even if the game screen reaches 60 frames, the human eye may not feel smooth. Let me give you an example of what you have learned. When you are playing a game called Jedi Survival: Battle Royale or Watch Pioneer, which often requires a large mouse-dip to divert the visual shooting game, in this scenario, Although their picture is up to 60 frames, you still feel that the picture is somewhat delayed and a slight click.
In this case, the screen with a high refresh rate can be used to improve the performance, because it can guarantee that the picture is in a rapid change (a great degree of rejection of the mouse to transfer perspective), but still maintain smooth continuity.
MSI naturally takes into account the 144Hz refresh rate for players' needs. What's amazing is that the MSI GS65 is so thin that it hides an IPS-level gaming screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080, a refresh rate of 144Hz, and a delay of only 7ms.
The border is narrow to 4.9mm, the refresh rate reaches 144Hz, this kind of screen, how can the player not like?
Peel off the "thin" look to see its "strong" side
Having said so much about the game itself, it's time to talk about the performance of MSI GS65. In fact, the thin design and weak appearance did not make MSI GS65 sacrifice its performance in performance.
From the configuration point of view, the MSI GS65's hardware configuration is the current level of mainstream gamers.
In terms of CPU, the MSI GS65 is equipped with an eighth-generation Intel Core i7-8750H CPU, with 6 cores and 12 threads. The default frequency is 2.2 GHz, and the maximum is 6 nucleus and can be maintained at 3.9 GHz; the graphics card uses An Nvidia GTX 1060 with 6GB of memory. As for storage, it is not bad. It is loaded with two 8GB DDR4-2400 specifications of memory and a 256GB PCI-E SSD. This specification enables MSI GS65 to have faster response during daily use.
Next, let's take a look at its test performance.
With the 6GB memory version of the GTX 1060, we have seen much more. This one has improved graphics on the core architecture and process technology. It can basically feed most games, including the popular "Jade for survival: Battle Royale". Naturally, it's no secret.
But the i7-8750H processor, which first appeared on the mobile platform's six-core, twelve-thread, may not be the same. After 2 cores and 4 threads more than the previous generation i7 processor, the performance of the i7-8750H has improved significantly. In the Cinebench R15 test, the i7-8750H on the MSI GS65 recorded an OpenGL score of 106.44 fps and a CPU score of 1047 cb.
As a whole, the configuration of MSI GS65 on the hardware is not short. It is precisely because of this, in the game testing session, the performance of MSI GS65 did not disappoint us.
We have chosen to test the performance of the MSI GS65 by testing the "Jade for survival: Battle Royale" and "Watching the Pioneer" with high hardware configuration requirements.
In Watch Pioneer, the screen is set to extremely high quality, with a 100% rendering magnification and a resolution of 1080P. The MSI GS65 recorded a frame rate range of 90 to 157 and an average frame rate of 131 frames. ” Under the highest quality (very high quality, 100% rendering multiple), its performance is not bad, the frame rate range is 93~119, the average frame rate is 105 frames.
And came to the popular chicken game "Jade to survive: Battle Royale", MSI GS65 can basically run smoothly. In medium quality, the resolution is 1080P, the MSI GS65 records a frame rate range of 53 to 115, and the average frame rate is 93 frames; while in high quality, the resolution is the same as 1080P, the MSI GS65 average frame Although the rate has dropped, it can still be maintained at around 74 frames.
After hours of running sub-tests and game tests, the temperature of MSI GS65 fuselage vents is similar to that of most game titles. Basically, under the influence of 3 fans and 4 heat pipes, MSI GS65 can suppress the temperature. The 6-core, 12-thread i7 and GTX 1060 did not experience significant down-clocking after running the game for a long time.
One of the better experiences is that the temperature of MSI in the area of the C-side keyboard is not high, and the noise of the fan is much smaller than that of many games.
It can be said that during the entire game experience, the MSI GS65 left me with a very good impression. In particular, the screen with a 144Hz refresh rate and a narrow bezel, together with the Dynaudio sound system on the C-side of the notebook, allows the notebook to have a good viewing experience without an external monitor or speaker.
The configuration of the game, the life of the business
As mentioned above, the MSI GS65 has a bright spot in terms of thickness, weight, and design, but it may not be enough to make MSI GS65 connect with the business book. Because for many business models, in addition to light and elegant design, endurance performance is also an indispensable selling point.
However, life has always been a huge test for games. Unlike low-power CPUs and integrated graphics, which are used in business notebooks, almost all of the game parts are large power-consuming computers, large graphics cards, and small RGB lamps and cooling systems. It is not an easy task to reach the endurance performance of this business.
Especially for the more lightweight MSI GS65, its internal space has been difficult to put a larger capacity battery.
Surprisingly, the performance of MSI GS65 has not been compromised because of the above restrictions. In the week-long experience, the normal cruising performance of the MSI GS65 can be maintained at approximately 8 hours (not in the game state), and even closing the lid, MSI GS65 can also stand for 3 to 4 days. This kind of endurance performance is already closer to the 2015 MacBook Pro.
It can be said that whether it is normal surfing the Internet, or using office or Photoshop for office, the MSI GS65's life can basically meet your needs.
A game book that can serve as a business book
As a game that incorporates the elements of “Fashion,” “Lightweight,” and “Life,” MSI GS65 does show from another level that the games of this era should have appearance and performance. The 4.9mm narrow bezel screen, 1.88kg weight, and 17.9mm thickness make it stand out in a crowded game book.
At the same time, its performance and endurance performance have not been compromised due to being limited to lightness and thinness.
There is no doubt that the MSI GS65 is a balanced game book in all aspects. Even with the advantages of portability and battery life, the MSI GS65 is no longer confined to the gaming category. Act as a trusted business book for business people.
Back to the game itself, MSI GS65 is more competent. With the reliable performance of the 6-core i7 and GTX 1060, as well as the Sairui RGB keyboard, 144Hz refresh rate screen and Dynaudio sound system, these players can experience a more extreme gaming experience.
