MSI GP76 Leopard 10UG: Maximum performance for the mobile RTX 3070
Pushes the RTX 3070 to its performance limits with 140 watts: The MSI GP76 Leopard 10UG
Does a large laptop plus a lot of space for cooling equal tons of performance? This concept works with the MSI GP76 Leopard 10UG and allows the use of the RTX 3070 in maximum mode.
The loud call for a transparent presentation of the respective GPU performance has paid off for prospective buyers. This makes it much easier to compare laptops on paper, for example, when a mobile RTX 3070 is used in two devices.
The MSI GP76 Leopard 10UG was able to show in our test the extra performance that can be expected when the installed Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 is running at the maximum possible 140 watts instead of 95 watts, for example.
Frame rates increase by up to 20% in our gaming tests, a significant improvement. This makes content look even smoother on the GP76's 144 Hz display, and there are also more options in another direction.
Cooling is good in the rather large case of the 17-inch laptop. Not only does this allow for long gaming sessions without performance drops, but it also provides the option to play games at a lower noise level at the expense of fps.
Many titles run smoothly at high graphics settings even in the MSI GP76's Silence or Balanced mode. As a result, the fans don't have to run at their maximum speed all the time, avoiding the associated high noise levels.
Another plus point is that the spacious case allows the installation of speakers that are very good by laptop standards. Moreover, they also perform well outside of games, for example when watching series.
Our detailed review shows everything else that the MSI GP76 Leopard 10UG has to offer.

I carried out my first IT experiments with a 386-based system and a whole 4 MB RAM. This was followed by work on various PCs and laptops that I maintained and repaired for friends and acquaintances. After training to become a Telecommunications Systems Technician and gaining a few years of experience, I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering. Currently, I pursue my fascination for IT, technology, and mobile devices by writing reviews and articles for Notebookcheck. I have also worked for Gamestar, Netzwelt, and Golem, among others.

I've been fascinated with technology ever since I got my very first Android smartphone, which was quite a while ago. The power packed into such a small footprint still amazes me. Learning to program made my understanding of technology deeper, and at the same time, it expanded my interest to the area of desktop computers and laptops. All this led me to enjoy reading and watching reviews of new devices, and that's how I stumbled upon Notebookcheck. I immediately found their reviews to be very comprehensive, and luckily, I've even had the chance of translating them since 2019. When it comes to the huge field of technology, I'm currently also interested in specializing in Java programming.
