MSI Stealth GS66 12UGS gaming laptop review: Powerful enough for QHD

Alder Lake + Ampere update. Besides the RTX 3080 Ti, Nvidia is also launching the RTX 3070 Ti at the beginning of 2022. The MSI Stealth GS66 12UGS is the first laptop that we've been allowed to test with this promising, high-end GPU. But just how many FPS will you get on the built-in 240 Hz panel?
MSI Stealth GS66

Three models of the latest GS66 generation are currently listed on MSI's German website. While the GS66 12UGS in review and the GS66 12UH are equipped with a Core i7-12700H, 32 GB of DDR5 RAM, and a QHD panel, the GS66 12UHS can be configured with a Core i9-12900H, 64 GB of RAM, and a UHD display. Depending on the version, a GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, GeForce RTX 3080, or GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is used as the graphics card. Common to all models is Windows 11 Pro as the operating system. The price of the new GS66 starts at 3,149 Euros (~$3,580) - a considerable amount. The top model will even set you back 4,899 Euros (~$5,569).

Case

At first glance, the case closely resembles that of the GS66 10UG reviewed in 2021. However, some changes have been made by MSI when it comes to the details. For example, one of the USB-A ports has been replaced by a Type-C counterpart. Furthermore, there's now a fingerprint sensor in the upper left corner of the touchpad.

The general build of the case along with its advantages and disadvantages has remained unchanged. One of the GS66's biggest strengths is its compact design. With a width of 35.8 cm and a depth of 24.8 cm, the 15-incher takes up the smallest footprint among the test field. The Stealth is only beaten by the Alienware x15 in terms of height (19.8 mm). Things look similarly good regarding the weight. 2.2 kg, which is the same as the Gigabyte Aero 15, is pleasantly light by gaming standards as well as easy to transport.

In terms of looks, besides the colorful keyboard illumination, the chassis is rather unimpressive, which might be appreciated by some buyers. Thanks to the use of metal, the matte black surfaces look very high quality. Workmanship is also good, although the transition between the base unit and bottom cover could be a bit more refined.

Stability is okay for such a low-profile case. The keyboard and touchpad flex a bit, and the lid could have used more resistance to torsion. The hinges do a passable job. The wide opening angle of 180° is especially praiseworthy.

Connectivity

Ports

If you ignore the absence of a card reader, connectivity cuts a very fine figure. Despite the low build height, a full-fledged RJ45 port is on board. In addition, there's an audio jack, a modern HDMI 2.1 port (4K @120Hz), and a total of five USB ports, three of which are in the Type-C format and support the DisplayPort function. MSI even uses Thunderbolt 4 for one of the Type-C ports.

The distribution of the interfaces is a bit disappointing. Since the rear areas of the sides are taken up by fan outlets, the ports are located quite far in front, which can lead to collisions and space restrictions when using an external mouse, depending on the amount of cables involved.

Communication

After we recently updated our router setup (an Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 is used now), the results obtained aren't comparable 1:1 with older tests, which is why the values of the competition are missing. The Killer 6E AX1675i chip built into the GS66 delivers a very good performance all the same. Wired network connectivity supports up to 2.5 Gigabit (Killer E3100G).

Webcam

As with almost any gaming laptop, the webcam's quality is very low. In addition to color accuracy, image sharpness is also lacking - which can be seen in our photos.

Accessories

The box includes a 240-watt power adapter weighing just under 600 g, and a few information booklets.

Maintenance

In order to access the interior, a total of nine cross-head screws have to be removed from the bottom of the case (one is located underneath the factory seal). After this, the bottom cover can be pried out of its anchoring with a flat tool, which requires both strength and dexterity. The enormous battery, two M.2 slots, and two RAM slots protected by a cover can be found under the hood. The cooling system consists of three fans and several heat pipes.

Warranty

MSI provides a two-year warranty (Pick-up and Return Service) for the product.

Input devices

Keyboard

The keyboard has been primarily tailored to the needs of gamers. The extensive and customizable RGB lighting, which can turn the GS66 into a disco in extreme cases (see photo), should be particularly mentioned as a positive feature.

The layout didn't fare as well in the test. Starting with the single-line Enter key, which is rather unusual for German keyboards. The position of the ><| key and the '# key also deviates from the standard. This is accompanied by some awkward combinations (F12/Print Screen, Delete/Insert) and a few other questionable design choices. For example, the Fn and right Ctrl keys are severely squeezed together. At least the arrow keys are pleasantly large. We would describe the typing experience as acceptable. It's not particularly crisp, but it rather tends towards feeling mushy (keyword: travel).

Touchpad

While the touchpad's height of 6.5 cm is no cause for enthusiasm, its width of 14 cm is more than impressive. The smooth surface provides good gliding properties. There's hardly anything to complain about in terms of precision and gesture support, either. However, MSI still needs to work on its stability. Especially at the left and right edges, the touchpad can be pressed quite significantly into the case, resulting in a lower perceived quality.

Display

As mentioned at the beginning, the manufacturer uses a fast 240 Hz panel for the display, which also does its refresh rate justice. The response times measured in our test were under 10 ms each, something that deserves respect in the laptop sector.

Another highlight is the rich color space. Although we weren't quite able to measure the 100% DCI-P3 coverage specified by MSI (despite selecting the corresponding profile in the True Color software), a P3 coverage of 96% is still excellent and leaves most gaming laptops in the dust. Looking at the comparison field, only the panels of the Gigabyte Aero 15 and Alienware x15 can keep up.

The rest of the measurement results of the GS66 12UGS left us with mixed feelings. While the contrast (over 1,000:1) and black level (0.25 cd/m²) are compelling, the color accuracy and brightness fall a bit short of what is expected or feasible.

An average brightness of 253 cd/m² pretty much makes the Stealth unsuitable for outdoor use. For this, a minimum of 300, or better yet, 350 cd/m² would be required.

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
8.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 4.4 ms rise
↘ 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. » 18 % 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 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 3.2 ms rise

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. » 13 % 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 18099 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Performance

Even the entry-level variant of the GS66 ranks in the high-end range. 32 GB of RAM should be sufficient for the coming years as well as a CPU with 14 cores. A 1,000 GB SSD capacity isn't bad either, especially since you can expand the storage space with a second M.2 drive if needed. The VRAM is the only area that might become limited in the near future as we'll explain in a moment.

Test conditions

Users can adjust various system settings in the preinstalled MSI Center. With the exception of the 3D and gaming tests, which were carried out with graphics switching disabled and in the Extreme Performance mode, all measurements were done using the Smart Auto Mode (User Scenario menu) with the Optimus technology enabled (General Settings menu).

Processor

The Core i7-12700H is a brand new model based on Intel's Alder Lake architecture with clock rates of 1.7 to 4.7 GHz. The 10 nm chip houses six performance cores that support Hyper-Threading, as well as eight efficiency cores without HT. This allows the 45-watt CPU to process up to 20 threads in parallel.

To get the most out of the processor, MSI is using very high TDP settings. According to the HWiNFO tool, we're looking at 200 watts for both PL1 and PL2. Although the values are lower in practice, the i7-12700H easily surpasses its old Tiger Lake siblings. In the Cinebench R15 multithread test, for example, this means an increase of 30% to 50% compared to the Core i7-11800H contenders. The AMD competition in the form of the Ryzen 7 5800H or the Ryzen 9 5900HX must also admit defeat, although the performance-per-watt ratio is more in favor of AMD as previous tests have shown.

Storage

We have nothing to criticize about the storage device. Thanks to PCIe 4.0, the 1 TB SSD from WDC (PC SN810) built into our test device excels with an outstanding performance that can only be rivaled by the Samsung drive in the Gigabyte Aero 15. In the AS SSD benchmark, sequential rates of around 5,000 MB/s are achieved - an excellent result.

Graphics card

With the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, Nvidia has launched a somewhat more powerful version of the RTX 3070. Instead of 5,120 shader units, the GPU now offers 5,888 shaders, which corresponds to an increase of 15%. Furthermore, the amount of tensor cores (184 vs. 160) and ray tracing cores (46 vs 40) has also been increased. However, the performance of Nvidia's current Ampere generation not only depends on the base specifications, but also heavily on the cooling system and the predefined TGP. Similar to the RTX 3070, the TGP of the RTX 3070 Ti ranges from 80 to 125 watts (without Dynamic Boost). MSI opted for a pretty low value with the GS66: Including Dynamic Boost, it's "only" 105 watts. Therefore, the RTX 3070 Ti's potential is not taken full advantage of.

This is also visible in the benchmark course. In spite of its better configuration in terms of shaders and the like, the GS66's performance rating is roughly on par with the Eurocom Nightsky ARX15 and the Alienware x15, both of which have RTX 3070s with a TGP of 115 and 110 watts, respectively. Only in the Port Royal ray tracing test does the GS66 come close to the top spot. It's very annoying that Nvidia didn't increase the video memory when refreshing the GPU. Even today, 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM reaches its limits at higher resolutions and detail levels from time to time. Considering the price and the high-end requirements, at least 10 GB of VRAM would be necessary in 2022 (more like 12 GB). After all, the RTX 3080 Ti offers 16 GB of GDDR6 memory straight out of the box - the VRAM configuration is adequate here.

Gaming performance

The "Ti" identifier doesn't quite live up to its name when gaming, either. If you put all the 40 tested games together, the GS66's RTX 3070 Ti can hardly differentiate itself from other RTX 3070 laptop GPUs due to its meager TGP. The somewhat faster Eurocom Nightsky ARX15 demonstrates very clearly that higher TGPs compensate for lower shader numbers.

In general, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is fast enough to run demanding games in the native resolution of 2560x1440 smoothly and in high to maximum details. Apart from Cyberpunk 2077, a combination of Ultra presets and QHD always resulted in a minimum of 40 FPS - most of the time even over 60 FPS. Only at 4K does the RTX 3070 Ti reach its limit more frequently.

We tested how the graphics performance behaves over a prolonged period of time with The Witcher 3 for about 60 minutes. Although there were no severe FPS drops, the base performance and clock rates decrease to a certain extent after a while, just like in the Cinebench loop.

Emissions

Noise emissions

The GS66 12UGS is neither quiet nor particularly loud when using the automatic AI profile. In idle usage, the fans are always active and rotate at a moderate 31 to 32 dB(A) (up to 35 dB occasionally). Under load, the noise level increases significantly to between 43 and 48 dB(A), although in contrast to many competitors, the 50 dB(A) mark is never exceeded. Nevertheless, users who are sensitive to noise will have to use a headset when gaming.

Temperature

The GS66 has to accept some criticism for its heat development. In the stress test with the FurMark and Prime95 tools, the chassis heated up to 54 °C (~129 °F) (top) and 59 °C (~138 °F) (bottom), respectively, in the rear area. Consequently, gaming sessions with the device on the lap are not a good idea. When the laptop is idle, the situation is much more relaxed: The surfaces stay below the 30 °C mark (~86 °F). The fact that the cooling system is rather limited in capacity becomes clear when looking at the components. In our The Witcher 3 test, the GPU and CPU reached temperatures of over 80 °C (~176 °F) and 90 °C (~194 °F), respectively.

Speakers

The new Stealth GS66's sound quality is average. As is typical for laptops, bass is particularly lacking. Mids and highs are played reasonably clear according to our audio analysis. The biggest plus point is the ample maximum volume of 86 dB(A). For comparison: The Gigabyte Aero 15 only manages up to 75 dB(A).

Energy management

When graphics switching is active (GPU switch: MSHybrid @MSI Center), the GS66 is quite frugal in idle mode. 11 to 23 watts provide solid battery runtimes. Under load, energy consumption climbs to between 110 and 230 watts - acceptable in view of the performance you get.

Battery life

MSI has equipped the GS66 with a massive 99 Wh battery, which doesn't really come into its own despite its ample capacity. Even under perfect conditions (minimum brightness, maximum power saving, no load), the 15-incher can't even reach 8 hours. The Alienware x15 achieves over 9 hours with a lower battery capacity, and the Asus TUF A15 even over 17 hours. We were able to get around 5:30 hours out of the MSI laptop in our real-world Wi-Fi test at medium brightness - a viable result.

Verdict

MSI Stealth GS66 12UGS: Review device provided by MSI Germany
MSI Stealth GS66 12UGS: Review device provided by MSI Germany

With the new GS66 generation, MSI not only updates the processor, but also the graphics card.

The Core i7-12700H and the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti found in the 12UGS model that we tested run all modern games smoothly in the native QHD resolution (2560x1440 pixels).

The 15-inch display is very fast with its 240 Hz refresh rate, and it also offers a great color space (almost 100% DCI-P3) on top of that, which should please gamers as well as content creators, although we would have still wished for a higher brightness.

Case, input devices, and connectivity (Thunderbolt 4) are at a good level. However, among other things, the GS66 loses points due to the high temperature development in 3D mode and its poor webcam - as is the case with most laptops.

Overall, the Stealth GS66 12UGS achieves a score of 85%, which puts it on par with the Asus TUF A15 FA506QR. The other RTX 3070 competitors are either slightly behind (Eurocom Nightsky ARX15) or marginally ahead (Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED XD and Alienware x15 P111F).

Price and availability

At the time of writing, the MSI Stealth GS66 12UGS doesn't seem to be available in our same tested configuration in the US. Nevertheless, you can keep an eye on stores like Best Buy and Amazon, and wait for it to be available there or find similar configurations.
