![]() And that goes some to explain just why you're getting lower performance out of the same silicon on the Razer machine. The more restrictive confines of the Razer Blade 16, however, meant that we only ever saw it go up to 5.3GHz reliably. The chip can run up to 5.5GHz under boost loads, and I did actually see the Core i9 sitting around that level during my single core performance benchmarking inside the MSI Titan chassis. Though it's lower power-with an operating range between 80 and 150W, with a little 15W leeway for manufacturers at the top end-and that necessarily comes with a lower clock speed in-game.īut that still makes it a hugely powerful gaming laptop GPU, smashing the 95W RTX 3080 from the older Blade 15 I've tested alongside the new machines and topping the old RX 6850M from the AMD (opens in new tab) side of the equation, too. It's got the same core count, 16GB VRAM, RT cores, ROPs, the lot. ![]() While the mobile version shares the same name as its desktop counterpart it's actually running the same AD103 silicon as the big boi RTX 4080 (opens in new tab). Though they're not having to cope with the full-fat AD102 GPU the desktop RTX 4090 (opens in new tab) sports. You only have to look at the coolers being strapped to the desktop versions of Nvidia's RTX 40-series GPUs to worry for the welfare of any laptop hoping to contain them. Intel and Nvidia have provided the notebook manufacturers with a set of monstrously powerful hardware and now it's up to them to figure out how to get those chunks of thirsty silicon running happily inside a mobile form factor. I guess that's going to be the issue with this new generation of gaming laptops. This heavy brick feels like such a throwback. But the Titan feels like some sort of late 2000s gaming slab throwback, with a thick chassis and a real big fat derriere.īehind the screen juts out a heavily vented rear-end, and from here it's jettisoning a ton of hot air from inside this heavily specced machine. And if you're going to check that box you ought to expect some payback. To be fair, the Titan is running in 'Extreme' mode, which pushes all the elements of the machine to their limits in the name of extreme gaming performance.
