MSI GE63 Raider RGB 8RE (i7-8750H; GTX 1060) Laptop Review

Another industry-standard benchmark, 3DMark provides a number of different tests for taxing graphics cards and emulating different gaming challenges. We use the Fire Strike and Fire Strike Extreme tests, which run the same test but at two different resolutions: 1080p and 1440p.

  

Here we again see the GE63 go toe-to-toe with its other key rivals. Jump up to any system with a GTX 1070 or higher and these numbers will increase significantly but for a GTX 1060-equipped laptop, this machine performs as expected.

Next up we ran some real-world gaming tests, using Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Rise of the Tomb Raider. We tested at 1080p using each game’s in-built benchmark.

Here we get more of a sense of what those numbers in 3DMark actually mean in real life, with the GE63 delivering comfortably playable settings at 1080p.

In our comparisons we've tested at very high detail settings so we don't see this laptop make the most of its 120Hz screen in these tests. However, running at medium detail settings you'll comfortably get over 70fps average in Rise of the Tomb Raider and over 50fps in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. Meanwhile, less demanding games such as Fortnite and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive should hit well above 100fps.
