[Video Review] MSI Vector GP66 12Ux – how can it be so powerful?


    MSI Vector GP66 (12Ux) in-depth review

    For their next trick, MSI takes the GP66 Leopard, and transforms it into an absolute killer of a mobile computer, called the Vector GP66. We are not overestimating the device. After all, it comes with up to a Core i9-12900H, and up to an RTX 3080 Ti with the whopping 150W of TGP. You need a very efficient cooling solution to be able to tame this much performance potential.Actually, MSI boasts a so-called Overboost technology, which should allow the CPU and the GPU to run at a total of 195W (150W for the graphics card, and 45W for the processor). Presumably, this is the thermal efficiency [...]
