The right plan
Although Intel and Nvidia seem to dominate the gaming PC segment, AMD does not remain silent and offers components cut for performance. Like the Asus ROG G15 Advantage Editionthe MSI Delta is a PC intended for gamers and to creatorswhich is based on components from AMD. At the heart of this machine is a processor AMD Ryzen 9 5900HXone of the most powerful of the founder, exploiting its 8 hearts and 16 Threadsturning jup to 4.6 GHz in turbo mode. The graphics card found is a RX6700M endowed with 10 GB of VRAM. For those who are unfamiliar with the AMD range, this card is at the level of the RTX-3070even allowing itself to surpass the latter in certain games.
For the rest, we have the right to 16 GBthe minimum to work or play comfortably as well as a 1TB NVMe PCIe SSD, which is quite rare in this segment. The screen of 15 inches rests on a slab Full-HD (1920×1080) 240Hz. This makes it possible to display competitive games very fluidly, especially since the ** RX 6700M ** exploits this refresh rate without difficulty. Don’t panic, the latest games also run smoothly at well over 60FPS so much RX6700M has power in reserve.
At this moment, this creative gaming pc of less than 2 kg is on sale at Shopping street. The French seller offers a reduction of 25% on this machine that is both sober and powerful. The price thus goes from €1999.99 to €1499.91a very good price for such a powerful machine.

What alternative?
Although very attractive, the Ryzen 9 5900HX can show off a little”overkill” for many users, especially if it’s mainly for gaming. If you don’t need as much power, it may be interesting to turn to a less powerful and less expensive chip. Fortunately, MSI has thought of everything and offers another model Delta 15also equipped with a RX6700Mbut this time incorporating a Ryzen 7 5800H, less powerful but more than enough to play and work in most cases. The SSD goes to 512 GBfurther lowering the bill.
If you don’t need a 1TB SSD (or you plan to add an additional disk) and that the Ryzen 7 5800H turns out to be sufficient, MSI Delta 15 in this configuration also benefits from a great promotion at LDLC. Instead of 1599 € usually requested, the promo upgrades this PC to €1399.95. This represents a small saving of €100 compared to its most powerful cousin, enough to have fun on the side.
