The right plan

While the gaming machines of yesteryear were heavy and massive, advancements allow powerful powerful components to slip into ever thinner machines. Be careful however, the GP76 is not a featherweight and displays all the same 2.9kg on the scale despite a relative finesse. This PC claims its gamer DNA with its sharp lines and its large ventilation vents which testify to the calorific release of the beast.
In terms of performance, we can count on the computing power of the CPU Intel Core i7 11800H and his 8 hyperthreaded cores amount up to 4.6GHz as well as on the 16GB DDR4 RAM. On the graphics part, this gaming machine is based on a Nvidia RTX 3070 GPU, a chip cut for performance. Storage is entrusted to a 512GB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD, enough to ensure operation without downtime and loading at lightning speed. Needless to say that this configuration is capable of launching all current and future games, especially since the RTX-3070 embedded is a version 140W be the most powerful. In order to cool all these beautiful people, the MSI GP76 goes all out with a monstrous cooling system. The interior hides 2 fans releasing the heat conveyed by 6 heat pipes in copper.
The performances are at the top, but the MSI GP76 has other assets to seduce gamerslike its keyboard designed by SteelSeries and enjoying a RGB lighting fully configurable. The various drivers and software allow perfect optimization for the gaming while the screen 17.3 inches benefits from a Full HD panel and a 240 Hz refresh ratethe top.

On their side, Darty and Fnac also go all out by offering a great promotion on this machine, allowing it to go from €2199.99 only €1599.99, an excellent price for such a powerful machine.
