The MSI Raider GE67Hx is very good for gaming and AI, while the Acer Swift X (2022) is only fair.
The MSI Raider GE67Hx delivers a very good gaming and 3D experience due to its superior Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics card and a high screen refresh rate of 240Hz, enhancing smoothness in fast-paced visuals. In contrast, the Acer Swift X, while fair for gaming, is equipped with a less powerful Nvidia RTX 3050 and a standard 60Hz screen refresh rate which may not be as fluid for high-speed gaming scenarios.

The MSI Raider GE67Hx has a better screen than the Acer Swift X for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Acer Swift X offers a vibrant and sharp display with adequate brightness, making it suitable for everyday tasks, but its limited color coverage may not fully meet the needs of professional design, and its average refresh rate is not optimal for the fast-paced visuals required in gaming and 3D tasks. The MSI Raider GE67Hx, on the other hand, boasts a display with higher color accuracy and a wider range of colors, which is ideal for precision in engineering and design work, yet despite its exceptional screen, the lower refresh rate doesn't cater to the smoothness required for high-end gaming and 3D applications. If the primary use is for media consumption, office work, or professional design, the MSI's superior color performance will be beneficial, but for gaming or 3D rendering, a screen with a higher refresh rate would be more advantageous.

Sebastian Jentsch | March 2022
"The Swift X is an Acer for entry-level gaming. With the entry-level graphics chip, our Acer not only beats every single current AMD and Intel iGPU, but also Intel's dGPU Iris Xe Max. However, despite being a GDDR6 version, the GTX does not match the expectations set by its own counterparts from our database. This may be a result of the single fan, which only produces moderate noise levels under load. The performance level of the thin and light 1.4 kg (~3.09 lbs) 14-inch laptop is impressive nonetheless."

"If you've wanted to dip your toes into PC gaming but can't let go of your console roots, the MSI Raider GE67 HX stakes out an attractive middle ground between the speed and versatility of PC gaming and the comfort and ease of a console. If you can overlook its noisy fans and chintzy touchpad, the Raider provides a powerhouse entertainment experience with an OLED screen that tops most household TVs. It's not cheap, but this gaming machine is more than the sum of its parts."
