MSI GE75 Raider 10SE Laptop Review: 10th Gen Core i7 and GeForce RTX Combo

Same looks, slightly faster. MSI has refreshed its GE75 series for the third year in a row. The new Comet Lake-H CPU is just marginally faster than last year's Core i7 option, but it's a year-over-year upgrade nonetheless.

The MSI GE75 Raider 10SE is the Intel 10th gen Comet Lake-H update to last year's 9th gen Coffee Lake-H-powered GE75 9SE. Chassis features are otherwise identical and so we recommend checking out our existing reviews on the GE75 9SG, 8SG, or 8SF to learn more about the keyboard, ports, speakers, and other physical features of the laptop. This page will focus on the performance of the latest MSI system and how it compares to other mid-range to high-end 17.3-inch competitors.

Our configured unit is a baseline offering with its 144 Hz 1080p display, 6-core Core i7-10750H CPU, and GeForce RTX 2060 GPU for approximately $1800 USD. Users can configure with up to a 300 Hz 1080p display, unlocked 8-core Core i9-10980HK CPU, and GeForce RTX 2080 Super graphics for approximately $3000. Storage and RAM options will vary greatly between SKUs.

Display

Our 2020 unit uses the same high-end 144 Hz Chi Mei N173HCE-G33 panel as found on the 2019 and 2018 GE75 models. In fact, MSI uses this exact same panel for its thinner GS75 series as well for similar characteristics between them as shown by our table below. Black-white and gray-gray response times in particular are very fast for an ultra-smooth and almost ghost-free experience when gaming.

MSI offers a 300 Hz panel option that we suspect will be from the same maker as the one on the recent Razer Blade Pro 17.

Pulse-width modulation is present at very low brightness levels and we're disappointed to see moderate backlight bleeding from the edges and corners especially on such a pricey gaming laptop. This is definitely an aspect for MSI to improve upon for the future.

* ... smaller is better

Color space covers all of sRGB which is typical of most high-end gaming laptops these days. Other models like the Gigabyte Aorus 17G XB may offer deeper color options, but they usually come with slower response times.

Measurements with a colorimeter show a well-calibrated display out of the box. Calibrating the panel ourselves would improve grayscale and colors even further with final average DeltaE values of just 0.7 and 0.69, respectively, against the sRGB spectrum.

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
8.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 4.4 ms rise
↘ 4.4 ms fall
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 19 % 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
6.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 3.4 ms rise
↘ 3.4 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 14 % 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 detected 25000 Hz ≤ 18 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 25000 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 18 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 25000 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering.

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

CPU performance is where we expect it to be relative to other Core i7-10750H laptops, if not slightly faster. Users will see 15 percent or 45 percent faster multi-thread performance if upgrading from the Core i7-9750H or Core i7-8750H, respectively. Raw performance is roughly on par with the less expensive AMD Ryzen 5 4600H. MSI offers Core i7-10875H and Core i9-10980HK options as well for approximately 10 percent and 25 percent faster multi-thread performance, respectively. 

See our dedicated page on the Core i7-10750H for more technical information and benchmark comparisons.

System Noise

Both cooling solution and fan noise remain identical to last year's GE75. Interestingly, fan noise becomes essentially the same between the RTX 2060-powered GE75 10SE and RTX 2080-powered GE75 9SG when gaming despite the wide GPU performance gap between them. The fans will almost always be active even if set to the MSI "Silent" power profile.

We can notice very slight electronic noise or coil whine from our unit when placing an ear near the the keyboard keys. It's thankfully not acute enough to be of any concern especially since the fans will overwhelm it.

Temperature

The relatively large base allows the palm rests and clickpad to remain cool no matter the processing load unlike what we observed on the super-thin Razer Blade Pro 17 or MSI GS75. When gaming, these frontal areas remain below 30 C on average compared to over 40 C on the aforementioned alternatives. Hot spots on the keyboard center can reach just over 44 C, but the main WASD keys never become uncomfortably warm.

Excess heat exits from four different points along the sides so be sure to leave enough breathing room around the system.

Stress Test

When running Prime95, the CPU would boost to 4.2 GHz for about a minute before hitting a core temperature of 90 C. Thereafter, clock rates drop to the 3.9 - 4.0 GHz range in order to maintain a stable core temperature of 85 C. When running Witcher 3, CPU and GPU temperature would stabilize at around 68 C and 77 C, respectively, compared to 80 C and 68 C on the Asus Strix Hero III G731GV under similar conditions. Interestingly, enabling Cooler Boost results in no noticeable performance advantages.

Running on batteries will impact performance. A Fire Strike test on battery power returns Physics and Graphics scores of 11890 and 4630 points, respectively, compared to 18205 and 18114 points when on mains.

Energy Management

Power Consumption

Idling demands between 14 W and 27 W depending on the power profile, brightness, and GPU setting. Power consumption when running Witcher 3 is higher than expected at 185 W compared to 147 W and 162 W on the Asus Strix Hero III G731GV and Razer Blade Pro 17, respectively, each with the same RTX 2060 GPU. The higher consumption correlates somewhat to the higher-than-average 3DMark scores above.

We're able to measure a maximum of 238 W from the relatively large ~(18 x 8.5 x 3.5 cm) 280 W AC adapter when running both Prime95 and FurMark simultaneously.

Battery Life

Runtimes have not improved. We recorded just under 4 hours of real-world WLAN use to be almost identical to what we recorded on the older MSI GE75 8SF.

The system cannot be recharged via USB-C unlike on the latest Razer Blade Pro 17.

Verdict

In review: MSI GE75 Raider 10SE-008US. Test unit provided by MSI
In review: MSI GE75 Raider 10SE-008US. Test unit provided by MSI

The GE75 10SE faces the same advantages and disadvantages as the older 2018 and 2019 models. Fan noise in particular when gaming is not any quieter, but core temperatures are generally cooler with faster overall performance than other gaming laptops equipped with the same CPU or GPU. If you want the most out of the Core i7-10875H or GeForce RTX 2060, then it helps to go with a thicker chassis like the GE75 rather than a thinner alternative.

After three years of the same design, however, some aspects are starting to show their age. The bottom bezel is relatively thick, there is no webcam shutter or Thunderbolt 3 support, and the uneven backlight bleeding is a huge bummer. Instead of going thinner for the inevitable redesign, we would love to see a decrease in fan noise while maintaining the same above-average performance level. Users on tighter budgets can still purchase the Coffee Lake-H-powered 2019 GE75 series for almost the same gaming performance as our Comet Lake-H-powered GE75.

The MSI GE75 series has proven its versatility across three generation of Intel H-series CPUs. Performance remains top notch due to the capable cooling solution within, but other aspects like fan noise and other physical features could be improved upon.
