The MSI Raider GE76 and MSI Vector GP76 are both very good for gaming and AI.
The MSI Raider GE76 is excellent for gaming and 3D due to its higher-end GPU (Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti) and a screen with a high refresh rate (240 Hz), providing smoother graphics and gameplay. The MSI Vector GP76, while still very good for gaming and 3D, has a slightly less powerful GPU (Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti) and a lower screen refresh rate (360 Hz) which, despite being higher in number, underserves performance in comparison due to other factors like screen quality and GPU compatibility.

"The MSI Raider GE76: with Alder Lake and RTX 3080 Ti to gaming heaven. Yes, MSI could improve some aspects (like the quality of the webcam), but the manufacturer offers a very convincing and balanced overall package. The biggest advantage is definitely the immense performance potential. The combination of Core i9-12900HK, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, 32 GB DDR5 RAM and two NVMe SSDs offers a lot of performance for the next couple of years and plenty of power for 3D applications. Most titles would run smoothly on an external 4K screen no matter the quality preset. We came away impressed with the integrated 360 Hz panel's fast response times and good color accuracy."

"The MSI Vector GP76 12UGS is a gaming laptop on speed. The advantages are clear: The Vector GP76 is a real gamer with its 360 Hz display and super-fast response times. In addition, the Core i7-12700H has double the power of the CPU in its predecessor and another highlight is the Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti with a real power consumption of 150 watts. This places the device in the top range of our database. The Vector can also operate rather quietly, offers a full sound range, improved battery runtimes, a key-configurable RGB keyboard, a very stable chassis and good upgrade options. Moreover, the display produces a nice, rich and clear picture."
