MSI GT76 Titan DT 10SGS Laptop Review: Late Game Exotic Gear

4500 dollars of pure power. Picking up that yellow or orange drop after defeating a late game boss is always exciting. Getting that perfect stat roll might even be worth showing off. The MSI GT76 Titan has the specs and performance of an exotic drop that gamers are always grinding after.

If the MSI GS75 was your stealthy swift-moving hunter class, then the MSI GT76 would be your bulky gear-dependent tank class. The GT76 Titan crams the fastest CPU and GPU you can find in a laptop chassis that's designed to replace a traditional PC.

We first checked out the GT76 when it launched last year with the 9th gen Core i9-9900K, GeForce RTX 2080, and FHD display. This 2020 update ships with the the 10th gen Core i9-10900K, GeForce RTX 2080 Super, and 120 Hz 4K UHD display instead. Physical features remain identical and so most of our existing comments on the chassis, keyboard, speakers, and internals apply here as well.

Direct competitors to the GT76 include other 17.3-inch DTRs like the Dell Alienware Area-51m, Asus ROG G703 Chimera, Eurocom Sky X7C, or the Schenker XMG Ultra 17.

Input Devices

Display

Our AU Optronics B173ZAN03.3 4K UHD panel here can also be found on the latest Razer Blade Pro 17. This particular panel is notable for its native 120 Hz refresh rate and fast response times relative to most other 4K UHD panels that are limited to 60 Hz only. 1080p panels still have the advantage in terms of refresh rates and response times and it's for these reasons that the GT76 can also be configured with 300 Hz 1080p panels if desired.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
11.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 6.4 ms rise
↘ 5.2 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 26 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
23.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 12.4 ms rise
↘ 10.8 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 28 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18110 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Performance

 

Processor

When compared to our desktop Core i9-10900K reference, CPU performance in the GT76 is only about 5 to 6 percent slower. The additional physical cores (10 vs. 8) grant roughly 25 percent faster multi-thread performance than the Core i9-9900K on last year's GT76 while single-core performance remains about the same. Performance sustainability is excellent with no major performance dips over time.

See our dedicated page on the Core i9-10900K for more technical information and benchmarks. Users can replace the CPU in the GT76 since it uses a standard FCLGA1200 socket, but the entire cooling solution must be removed first.

DPC Latency

LatencyMon shows DPC latency issues related to nvlddmkm.sys when opening multiple tabs on our homepage. 4K UHD video playback at 60 FPS isn't perfect either with 56 dropped frames during our minute-long YouTube test. These results are disappointing considering the hardware involved.

GPU Performance

3DMark results are indeed faster than last year's GT76 9SG albeit just marginally by only a few percentage points. Raw graphics performance is just shy of our desktop RTX 2080 Super reference. See our page on the mobile GeForce RTX 2080 Super for more technical information and benchmark comparisons.

Emissions

System Noise

Fan noise is tied directly to the MSI Dragon Center software. When set to Silent mode, the fans will range between 27.5 to 29.8 dB(A) against a background of 26.5 dB(A). While not truly "silent", it's still quiet especially for the hardware involved. We recommend running on Silent mode if simply web browsing or video streaming where the extra horsepower isn't needed.

Gaming on Extreme Performance mode will induce a fan noise of about 60.7 dB(A) to be significantly louder than most other gaming laptops — and that's before toggling the Turbo Fan/Cooler Boost feature. Once enabled, fan noise would jump to 66.6 dB(A) to be one of the loudest we've ever recorded on any laptop.

Cooling solution consists of twin 60 to 65 mm fans and 11 copper heat pipes

Temperature

Surface temperatures are never uncomfortably warm even though we have some of the fastest components inside due to the abundance of ventilation grilles and a heavy cooling solution. When gamng, for example, the keyboard center is just 36 C compared to 42 C to 47 C on the ultra-thin MSI GS75. Hot spots are nearest the rear corners where users' hands are unlikely to touch.

Rear and side exhaust. Be sure to not block any of the many ventilation grilles along the sides or bottom

Stress Test

When running Prime95 to stress the CPU on Turbo Fan/Cooler Boost mode, clock rates would boost to and stabilize at 4.8 GHz. Intel rates its Core i9-10900K for a maximum Turbo Boost of 4.8 GHz meaning that the GT76 is able to maintain this clock rate ceiling — an impressive feat for a laptop running on a CPU designed for desktops. Core temperature would stabilize at a blistering 89 C, however, and so there is almost no headroom for any end-user overclocking. Temperatures are still better than what we observed on the Alienware Area-51m nonetheless.

Running Witcher 3 on Turbo Fan mode would result in stable CPU and GPU temperatures of 53 C and 77 C. If Turbo Fan is off, then temperatures would stabilize at 59 C and 83 C while clock rates remain the same. Thus, it's not necessary to play games on Turbo Fan mode as performance will not be impacted. Instead, the feature becomes more useful if running extreme loads at 100 percent CPU or GPU utilization.

Running on battery power will limit performance. A Fire Strike run on batteries would return Physics and Graphics scores of 17234 and 11304 points, respectively, compared to 29145 and 24211 points on mains.

Energy Management

Power Consumption

Power consumption is very high rivaling that of the Alienware Area-51m. Idling on desktop draws 26 W to as high as 54 W when on Ultimate Performance mode with Turbo Fan active. Running Witcher 3 demands 313 W or 11 percent more than last year's GT76 Titan with the regular GeForce RTX 2080. This increase is acceptable relative to the 6 percent GPU advantage between the RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Super and 25 percent multi-thread advantage between the i9-9900K and i9-10900K.

We're able to record a combined maximum consumption of 459.8 W from the two large (2x ~17.8 x 9 x 3.6 cm) 230 W AC adapters. These Chicony AC adapters are used on a number of other high-performance MSI laptops like the GS75. Each adapter has its own three-prong power cable which all connect to a proprietary MSI adapter before reaching the laptop. Together, these necessary cables and adapters weigh just over 2.4 kg.

Battery Life

Runtimes are short at just under 2.5 hours of real-world WLAN use when on the Balanced profile despite the large 90 Wh battery. Recharging from empty to full capacity takes two full hours. Keep in mind that both AC adapters must be connected or else the laptop will not recharge at all unlike on the Alienware Area-51m.

The system cannot be recharged via USB-C.

Verdict

In review: MSI GT76 TItan DT 10SGS. Test unit provided by MSI
In review: MSI GT76 TItan DT 10SGS. Test unit provided by MSI

The GT76 Titan has a key advantage over both the Dell Alienware Area-51m and Asus ROG G703: core temperatures. The MSI system is able to run its processors cooler when under demanding loads which isn't surprising given that its network of 11 internal heat pipes is the largest we've ever seen on a 17.3-inch laptop. The CPU and GPU are independently cooled with no overlapping heat pipes to better support overclocking efforts.

Other notable advantages include the strong chassis design, easier servicing and the 120 Hz 4K UHD display option which is not yet a common feature.

There are a number of disadvantages. Fan noise is still very loud when gaming and the two AC adapters and cables feel even more bulky to carry around than the laptop itself. In comparison, Eurocom has a single AC adapter solution for its DTRs. Chassis size is also very large even for the category due to the protruding rear and enlarged cooling solution. The bottom panel can be tricky to snap back in place and the lack of both USB-C charging and G-Sync is a missed opportunity.

Core temperatures are cooler than many competitors in this category with the same desktop Core i9 and RTX Super options. You'll have to overlook the loud fans and bulky AC adapters to get the most out of this desktop replacement.
