The MSI Raider GE77Hx is often significantly less expensive than the MSI Titan GT77, but the latter includes a more powerful CPU and GPU, more RAM, and larger storage, making it better suited for intensive engineering tasks, 3D rendering, and machine learning. Despite both having similar battery life, the Raider is lighter and thus more portable. The Titan's premium Mini LED display offers better color range and resolution, desirable for professional creative work, but at the cost of weight and price. Consider the Raider if portability and budget are key, or the Titan for top-tier performance and screen quality in demanding scenarios. Give Feedback

The MSI Titan GT77 has a better screen than the MSI Raider GE77Hx for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The MSI Raider GE77Hx and MSI Titan GT77 boast high-resolution panels with excellent brightness levels, making them suitable for general use where clarity and visibility are crucial. For engineering and design, their wide color gamuts ensure precise color representation, but they're not the best fit for gaming and 3D applications due to lower refresh rates, which are key for smooth motion and responsiveness in fast-paced visuals. Therefore, while they excel in productivity and professional creative tasks, avid gamers might find the screen responsiveness lacking for their needs.

Sascha Mölck | July 2022
"The MSI Raider GE77 offers a lot of power for a lot of money. The main components consist of a Core i9-12900HX CPU, a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU (175 watts TGP, 16 GB VRAM), and 64 GB of RAM, which makes for a high overall performance level. The GeForce GPU in particular scores some of the highest scores we have seen from this chip. Both the CPU and the GPU are able to run at continuously high clock speeds. The relatively high heat and noise emissions match our expectations for this device class. With approximately 5.5 to 6.5 hours, the battery life is good for a powerful 4K laptop."

"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."
