MSI Titan GT77 Review – A Bonkers Engineering Sample

3D Mark Time Spy – CPU Test

In the CPU test within 3D Mark Time Spy we see a familiar story with the MSI doing OK while simultaneously losing out to the Asus. The point that may not be obvious is that in mixed workloads – such as Time Spy – the graphics receive most of the power while the CPU runs on a power level around 45W.

3D Mark Time Spy – Graphics Test

We can see this effect in the graphics test where the MSI Titan GT77 jumps to the top of the chart by a tiny margin. Clearly the graphics side of things is working just fine, even if the CPU might be struggling slightly.

The interesting thing is that MSI is running the RTX 3080 Ti on 165W where Asus is using 175W yet the two laptops are effectively performing the same so we clearly have a level playing field.

3D Mark Time Spy – Overall Test

Add together the CPU and graphics elements of Time Spy and we end up with a tiny victory for Asus over MSI which in reality is effectively a tie.
