The MSI Titan GT77 is best in class for gaming and AI, while the MSI Prestige 14 AI Evo is only fair.
The MSI Titan GT77 comes with a more powerful GPU and a higher screen refresh rate, making it better suited for immersive gaming and demanding 3D applications; whereas the MSI Prestige 14 AI Evo, with a less robust GPU and lower refresh rate, provides adequate performance for casual gaming and less complex 3D tasks. The Titan also benefits from a stronger CPU and superior screen quality, but these factors, while still beneficial, don't impact gaming and 3D performance as significantly as the GPU and refresh rate.

The MSI Titan GT77 has a better screen than the MSI Prestige 14 AI Evo for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the MSI Prestige 14 AI Evo offers a clear and bright display with ample resolution; however, when it comes to gaming and 3D tasks, its lower refresh rate can lead to less smooth visuals compared to screens designed for those activities. The MSI Titan GT77, on the other hand, shines in providing vibrant and accurate colors for engineering and design thanks to its wide color gamut support, making it an excellent fit for professionals in those fields despite its lower refresh rate not catering to the high frame rate needs of gaming and 3D applications. Overall, the Titan GT77's superior color fidelity and resolution make it a top pick for productivity tasks, although neither model is ideal for gaming or 3D work due to their screen refresh rate limitations.

"The MSI Titan GT77 HX 13V is the utimate gaming laptop with RTX 4090 & Core i9-13950HX. The new MSI Titan GT77 will most likely only reach a very small group of users due to the high price, but it is still an impressive showcase of what is possible. The high-end gamer combines the best components you can currently get in almost every regard and it is a very good overall package, which does not have to hide behind full-fledged desktop systems."
