MSI Titan GT77 (2023) - The Ultimate Gaming Laptop? 

Check current gaming laptop sales at gaminglaptop.deals 19:13 I accidentally highlighted the 2022 GT77. The result isn't much different, but interesting that the 2023 wasn't better.

I appreciate the effort for the subtitles, just wanted to add that! Not a lot of creators bother with it, I love it when I find them and I think it makes the experience of watching content much better.

0:15 really cool little editing detail. love you jarrod

msi is outrageously expensive compared to other brands, even surpassing razer this time around

some of the best tech review videos out there. good job man

Appreciate the reviews jarrod

I laughed at myself when you said perky lighting. Then, I thought out how important the space would be…per key…😂

Amazing video as usual.

ah yes the Bugatti of Laptop world

Now this is the review I've been waiting for, thank you Jarrod. Honestly I don't want to shell out the cash but with so few having the m.2 slots I need I don't have much choice.

I cant even afford a laptop like this but I watch your reviews anyways, they are so well made and easy to understand!

Tune in this week for the next episode of “How Insane is the Scar 18?” Haha love your vids and all the effort you put in!

nice review, thank you. decided to go with razor blade 18 4080 this time, hope i will not regret it. should arrive soon.

Bro I love your videos, so detailed and complete, keep up the good work ✅💯 Btw , when will you upload the review of rtx 4060?

Finally the laptop review I been waiting for I watch other reviews but love your reviews the most when buying new hardware

Great review.🎉

Is this true? Silent mode basically same perf in games as balanced?! Such low fan noise wtf

I was looking for a MSI motherboard and out of curiosity I looked at the laptops they got and holy this laptop is a beast. Very nice review and presentation Mr. Jarrods. Thank you very much

Nice very detailed review... I was many here for the review on this laptop because of the panel... and I noticed you made 1 distinction many other reviewers failed to do... In that.. enabling HDR in windows lets you get much brighter screen than just running it stock in SDR.. This explains why I've seen some review websites out there say this screen can only do about 550-630 nits while others say it can do the full 1000 nits... Since there weren't any HDR laptops before it was a non issue in the past but making the distinction between HDR vs SDR peak brightness will only become more and more important going forward.... Flipping between SDR and HDR on my laptop I can see a higher brightness than in SDR mode.. though not sure exactly how much... Windows really needs to step up their HDR game...

Hi Jarrod! Could you please feature a laptop in a $1500-2000 price range which is best for the price? (for example last year it was strix g15 and advantage edition, what about now?)

Question, where did you get the cooling pad from? Struggling to find one to serve the size of this laptop. Great review. I've got the 4080 version and looking forward to your comparison!

Appreciate the shout/link re the XMP guide, cheers. Not sure how different/better the 13th gen cooling layout will be as suitability for a desktop replacement, I used the 12900HX & 12700HX GT77's as desktop replacements for several months and for the most part they were phenomenal, but I've had to go back to a desktop due to the units shutting down under moderate to heavy load. I was getting 62C surface temps at shutdown working in UE5 with some video encoding going on at the same time, not an unreasonable workload for a desktop replacement but they packed in and shut down.

Well I think I have found the solution and apparently it is an error in the MSI BIOS, for some reason in the advanced options the memory speed is set to 2000 by default which is equivalent to 2000mhz or 4000mhz in dual channel, many people claimed that the required speed should be set manually... In the tutorials that I found on youtube and forums it said to set 2400 to obtain a speed of 4800mhz or 2800 for the speed of 5600mhz but you must do the complete opposite, you must go step by step (not all at the same time since there come the delays and long waits and problems)... Restart with each activation. We start: You enter the BIOS then press the keys (R-CTRL+R-SHIFT+L-ALT+F2) to activate the advanced bios (you must do this every time you enter the BIOS) (each reboot takes a while and you only have to have patience), go to the path advanced>system agent (sa) configuration>memory configuration>memory. There you will find the memory profile, then change from (default SPD profile to custom profile) below find OCsafemode and deactivate it, reboot and enter the BIOS again to go to advanced and look for "overclocking performance menu" put the overclocking feature enabled, reboot again and at this point you will see that the reboot takes a little longer than usual but you must be patient and not panic as it takes a few minutes... Once it starts, enter the BIOS again and go to the advanced path> system agent (sa) configuration>memory configuration. You look for "frequency limit for mixed 2DPC DDR5" and the FOUR values that are in 2000 change them to number 0 since this value applies automatic speeds together with the latencies that your memory has. and this would be all... you restart again and it will take time but in the end you will get the maximum memory speeds offered by the manufacturer and you will not have problems. I think that the value of 2000 that comes by default is the real problem because it forces you to have that base speed, on the other hand the fact that the "Dynamic Memory Boost" cannot be activated at the moment also generates these inconveniences. I did it with a kingston DDR5 64gb (2x32) 5600mhz cl40 memory kit (I think they are the best on the market at the moment and even more with that latency) the change was considerable since the 3dmark time spy increased about 960 points without modifying values in the graphics card to get a score of 22430 points. If you're in the same boat changing these memories on this laptop and require additional help or have any questions, I'd be happy to help you resolve them. greetings !!

Jarrod any updates on Pheonix Range laptop? I see they've been delayed for global launch in April.

thanks for the reviwe

I was peacefully studying statistics. I got your notification and now i am visualising the games statistics

Yes! This Review is worth the wait! Superb! None Bias Review!

As much as people complain about no numpad on the blade (as if that’s keeping them from buying them lol), this guy should have record breaking sales this year

Can't wait you to make best 2023 laptop game I think this year will be insane

I picked up the Aorus 17H with the RTX 4080 for only $1990 USD. Insanely good band-for-the-buck

Gonna own one of these soon.

Hello Jarrod! How are you doing? I appreciate your honesty very much. Of course, you're right about bigger isn't always better, and this laptop is too heavy for my taste. Then, would you be kind to suggest us a multipurpose laptop that includes design, quality, lightness, and above all, power, please? Thanks a lot!!!

Hi Jarrod, was hoping to see the comparison between the 4080 and the 4090 Graphic card models. Are you planning to release this video? Looking forward to watching it!

What a machine. I have last years GT67 and its similar: MSI, not the best build quality in ugly black but the performance is there. The SCAR 18 has impressive performance but doesnt have this beefy of a cooling solution. Whats 10 FPS more if the thing sound slike a jet engine all the time?

God damn it you make the laptop breakdown almost to the level of artwork dude juss how much time u put into making this video lol

Hi Jarod, this one or the legion 9i? Thanks...

What would you say is the best cooling pad for gaming laptops so that we reduce the fan noise?

Can we see some of that 4050 vs 4060 vs 4070 you teased a while ago?

Looking to my 10 years old msi GT 60. Back in the day the most powerful single gpu, the gtx 780m . Although i loved this computer, the initial gpu burned and nvidia gpu drivers stopped to be released in 2019. Witch is suspicious to me. Only 6 years of drivers update. This is a shame to me. Of course back in 2013 it "only" cost 1500€ but putted two ssds and rams to have a total of 3 ssds and 1 hdd. For a total of 1640go of space and 28 ddr3 ram. All that in a 15" form factor ! It was nuts and the price was about 2200€ in total. I replaced the gpu in 2020 for a new oem one and a new compatibility battery in 2021 for 150€ and it gives a second life to my laptopt. build quality is perfect, keyboard, screen lids, fan... , everything runs. The only and biggest drawback is the Nvidia drivers stopped in 2019. Witch start to cause me trouble in simple streaming official tv website and games who can't run. So here is your "futur proof" timeline story of 10 year of the top of line 2013 Msi GT laptop. Hope this GT titan gonna last at least 10 years with gpu drivers included regarding the price !

I loved the kitchen scales, I just bought it today. My life is exciting.

Hey Jarrod, wouks you reccomend the 4090 version or 4080 version of this laptop? Only difference is 4090 has 32gb RAM and the 4080 has 64gb

Waiting for Acer Predator Helios 16 & 18 especially 16 as it is a nice comparison to Asus Scar 16 with mini led & rtx 4080.

👍🏻hello, can you please make a video for the advanced bios setting of this computer. There are many options in the bios and I don't know what to change and upgrade. I just bought this pc👍🏻

I really want a review on the proart studio by Asus, especially the 3d one

The bigger problem is that MSI removed option to load XMP profiles. It's very bad from performance perspective.

Was honestly planning to buy a gaming pc but I only see benefits in a gaming laptop especially if I’m in a discord or league in a game I won’t be bound to having to stay near my pc all the time

Is there a big difference between 2x16gb DDR5 4800 and 2x16gb DDR5 5600?

I have a gaming laptop now but I should probably start saving for the future

Hello, are you going to do the MSI GE78HX? seems rather interesting based on what other people are saying, but i think the way you do your review would provide the most information!!!

Can you please make a video comparing an rtx 4070 ti desktop vs 4080 laptop gpu? I'm debating on staying with a desktop or going with a laptop. Currently I have a desktop with a 1070ti. Great videos btw!

can u test the scar 16? i got the scar 15 last year wonder if it worth the upgrade ~

No advanced Optimus is crazy to me at this price.

hi, I have a question. Can you check if BIOS lets run Windows from both SSD slots? I need to have two Windows systems - one on each SSD. I want to be able to run either one at any time and switch between them.

Is it possible to disable raid 0 and use each ssd individually without loosing data? One ssd for Windows and apps and the other for storage. Thanks

I assume that such a low color gamut is due to HDR being turned on on the laptop. Without HDR, the color gamut at all levels is almost 100% according to Brandon's test at GizmoSlipTech. Jarrod can you please confirm if the test was done with HDR on?

What do you think about Zephyrus m16 w/rtx 4070 or 4080

That Laptop, if you wonder, costs more than a new Yamaha Ninja 400 Motorcycle.

I am looking forward to the announcements of this spring with rtx 4050 and 4060 maxed Tdp like Lenovo Legion 5

What’s the different between gt77 4080 and 4090 I need to know because I gonna buy one today .. and is the 4080 Fbs is good s the 4090 is ?! or it’s more less

Would you recommend MSI Titan GT77HX-008ES 64 GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 i9-13980HX 2 TB 2 TB SSD with these specs for roughly £2800?

think i want this laptop thanks man. Not sure if youtube broken but at end of sentences sounds like a voice up program

Can these top end laptops support 128GB RAM? The specs just say they configure at 64GB but does not say they max out at 64GB.

I’ve never had any issues with msi laptops, so I’ll probably remain faithful when I update hardware

I'm looking forward to the next 3DVCache cpu laptops

Waiting a lot for a review & compassion with Lenovo Legion 7i Pro. Do you have the laptop in your queue? 😅

Silent mode looking great

Between laptop 4090 and 4080 which one give more value ?

Really need a Clevo X370SNx-G review (4k panel) please as it’s the only alternative in upgradeability (thunderbolt, m.2 slots).

Can I somehow change fps limit on Lenovo Legion 5 (i7 12700H and RTX3070 ti) because when it’s unplugged it sets limit to 30 fps

Idk why but my speaker's making a buzzing sound when playing this video. To be precise, the woofer of my speaker setup makes periodic buzzing sound, like the type you get from cheap speakers when you crank their volume way up. But my volume is only at the half-way mark, and it's only this video. Sounds in other videos are fine even when cranked up all the way. Anybody else have this weird problem??

Maaan, this is a beast and no one is doing this except MSI. So, of course, they can bump up the price

Is the 4090 the 24GB one?

Is all the rtx 4090 gpu on leptops is 16gb??

I really wonder who they ask to test the keyboard. Better have a standard 75% layout with larger keys than a cramped numpad and misplaced enter key.

1:05 and this is an aspect that needs to be expanded upon. People don't know (like i was 1 year ago) about alternatives. A normal person thinks of a desktop systems, either imagines those ATX towers or the compact PCs without a GPU But there's the mITX performance builds. And cases of 10l or similar have the footprint of a 15inch laptop with a 15-20cm height. And under 10kg of weight. (compared to 4kg of the much larger footprint 17-18" gaming laptops) They can be easily taken into a backpack if you want gaming somewhere else. The large screen gaming laptops aren't laptops anymore. They are clunky, heavy and most importantly don't game very well when unplugged. There's no merit for a dedicated GPU laptop or a 17" screen if you need it on the move (like on a train, or plane). And this would lead to a great new series of videos. Comparing those portable 14"-15" laptops vs gaming laptops while unplugged. Simulating a vlogger/content creator/whatever that is on the move and might want to play some games. I'd love to see playing fps on a laptop that you hold on your lap as you lay comfortable on the beach seat, or on car rear seat. And the actual capabilities of the 17-18" gaming laptop unplugged.

This is a first laptop with 4000 graphics cards and for this 2 month on the biggest e-shop Czech Republic 0 selling of this device. That's all what you need to know.

Can you make a review with the new msi katana? Thanks.

yes mother i need this for studying

Which would be better in 4K gaming with dlss and rtx and framegen the scar 18 or msi Titian or the aorus 17x

Hey I been looking to get the new Lenovo legion I was wondering if you think it’s worth the extra money to get the 4080 model or save some money and and get the 4070

Your videos are very informative. Thank you for sharing your opinion and your review. I was wondering if you could do a review for the ROG Strix g16 with a Rtx 4050. I think that would be very interesting considering it has a an i9 13980hx but a Lower end GPU but at a higher wattage(140). I think a lot of people will be going for that machine since it’s affordable but with a high wattage GPU. Thank you!

I was kinda wanting to see you test 4k vs the other laptops but you only did 2k, that's a 4k screen please next time test 4k and use an external monitor for the other laptops

Hardly see any video about the MSI raider ge68hx, how is that one doing?

imho, the one of the disadvantages on today is the 17' display, but not a 18'

@jarrodstech sir plz let me know that MSI Katana 17 B13VFK-253IN has mux switch or Not..... Plz

SCAR 16 seems to be the way to go. My unit has almost identical test numbers to Jarrods SCAR 18. But the SCAR 16 has a much better display.

I think it would be interesting to see how efficient these power bricks are. I recently discovered that my Lenovo charger (65W, USB-C) draws 7W even when the computer isn't plugged into it. That adds up if constantly plugged into the wall.

Did the pc come with an antivirus already installed or not ???

That keyboard temperature is ridiculous!

should i buy asus tuf gaming a15 is it good

You have mentioned strix scar 18 a lot when can we have your strix g18 i9/4080 video

Would you care to do a medion erazer deputy p50 review cause there were none in youtube, and very few medion ones in general, i was looking to get one for a good price but i dont see the thermals wattage performance and the usual under the hood stuff anywhere

My Razer Blade 16 w/PTM7950 gets the same performance as this monstrosity.

The reason for weaker benchmarks at 1080p may be a strange gt77 13v problem, maybe bug: when hdr is turned on, system starts to lag a lot; processor and memory slow down by 1-7%. Jarrod (or anyone), did you notice the same thing? PS. it is possible to set DDR5 as 4800 without a slow boot (i did it).

What do you guys think abaut the gigabyte g5?

22:14 45K did you just say! Got you there brother lol, you mean 4500$. Love your reviews man keep them coming 👍🏼 because of you I end up buying the best suitable laptop for my needs, thank you so much!

Does anyone know what the max refresh rate is if you scale down resolution?

hey good job as usual. can u start to include snap of pci-e speed? i am aware the last year gt77 was able to run only pci-e 4.0 x8 . not that this is issue but wondering if all manufactures went that way.

I am thinking to buy asus scar 18 Please tell me which one is good msi or scar plz plz plz pla plz

If i bought a powerful bulky laptop Then i would rather go for strix, legion, blade or even the tuf series Cuz they look clean Msi laptop dimensions remind me of 15 year old gaming laptops
