MSI: Laptop-Update bringt Nvidia GeForce RTX Super-GPUs und neue Intel-CPUs
[15:41 Sun,5.April 2020 by Thomas Richter]
MSI has introduced the latest version upgrade for its gaming and creative laptops. The models GE66 Raider, GS66 Stealth and Creator 17 are now equipped with an i7 or i9 Intel processor of the latest 10th generation and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070/2080 Super graphics card. The new Super models from Nvidia have slightly more shader units and a slightly higher maximum clock speed.
These three models are also very interesting for working with video due to their performance data. The Creator 17 notebook, for example, has, in addition to the new Intel CPU and Nvidia SUPER GeForce RTX GPU, a 4K UltraHD 17.3" display with 240 local dimming zones using mini LED technology, which covers the professional DCI-P3 color space 100%, complies with the DisplayHDR 1000 standard and has a very high brightness of 1,000 nits.
Its other features include Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.2 type C interfaces, which can also be used to control an 8K screen; a fast UHS-III SD card reader with up to 624 MB per second and support for USB-DP, which allows both recharging the notebook (with up to 100W) via USB type C connector and recharging external devices (up to 27W).

The GS66 Stealth and GE66 Raider laptops, which are actually aimed at gaming, do not have a mini-LED display, but one with an extremely high refresh rate of 240 and 300 Hz respectively. Both can be configured in the maximum configuration with a Intel Core i9-10980HK 8-core processor of the 10th generation, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super GPU with MaxQ design and 8 GB memory, up to 32 GB RAM and fast NVMe PCIe SSDs.
The processor upgrade will also benefit the GE66 Raider, GS66 Stealth, Creator 17, GT76 Titan, GS75 Stealth, GE75 Raider, GL75 Leopard, GL65 Leopard, GF75 Thin, GF63 Thin, Creator 17M, Creator 15M, Prestige 14, Prestige 15 and Modern 15 laptops.
The new models are expected to be available from mid-April - the prices: the MSI Creator 17 starts at 3,200 Euros, the MSI GS66 Stealth at about 2,000 Euros and the GE66 Raider at 2,200 Euros, depending on the equipment.
