Which gaming laptop offers superior performance?
Hello,
I’m seeking advice on which laptop offers the top performance for gaming, especially for demanding strategy titles and simulators. I’m considering games like Mount and Blade Bannerlord, Three Kingdoms Total War, Rome 2 Total War, Troy Total War, Modern Naval Warfare, UBOAT, and others.
I found two similar-priced models:
Option 1: MSI Vector GP76 12UH-278CZ – €2,379
Specs: Intel Core i7 12700H Alder Lake, 16GB RAM, RTX 3080, SSD, Windows 11.
Option 2: ASUS ROG Strix G17 G713RW-KH006W Eclipse Grey – €2,349
Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 6800H, RTX 3070 Ti, SSD, Windows 11.
Which one would suit your needs best?
There isn't a definitive winner. The MSI offers a better GPU and a CPU marginally faster than the ASUS, though it lacks Thunderbolt support. The ASUS provides a superior screen with higher brightness and contrast. It doesn't have a webcam, and since it's AMD-based, Thunderbolt won't be available. If you're okay with no Thunderbolt and a screen brightness of around 244 nits (above 300 is bright), the MSI seems more suitable.
I believe option1 stands out more.
For CPU focused titles like yours, single-thread performance is crucial.
The I7-12700K scores 3662 in single-thread passmark:

The 6800H has a score of 3277:

I think the graphics performance will be similar.
