Gaming tests – dedicated graphics
GS series includes a stylish and compact family of high-performance MSI laptops and the GS66 Stealth is its latest addition. I’ve always had a weakness for thin but powerful devices and that’s exactly what GS meets. However, with the high performance of Core i9 and RTX 2080 Super, the question arises as to how thermal management is handled. In less than 2 cm thin and about 2.1 kg body, it is really a challenge to deal with such powerful components.

In the gaming tests, there is again an interesting difference between the GS66 and the Duo 15, which are both equipped with the RTX 2080 Super Max-Q and also the M15. Although it has a weaker RTX 2070 Super Max-Q, its external dimensions and slim body are more similar to the GS66, while the Duo 15 has an obvious advantage due to its larger dimensions and AAS cooling.
In GTA we see a huge difference between the GS66 and the two Asus models. MSI loses by 36 and 52% to M15 and Duo 15, which in practice means 30–45 fps on average.
We see a surprising result in Far Cry. The situation has flipped here and the GS66 is 6% faster than the M15 and 10% than the Duo 15. In practice, however, it is a difference of 6 and 10 fps, which is less than in GTA.
Odyssey shows very tight results in the range of only 4 average fps, where all three laptops fit. The Duo 15 has a slight advantage of 5%, GS66 and M15 give practically the same result.
SOTTR is very balanced in the case of Duo 15 and GS66, with a difference of only 2% for Asus. On the contrary, the M15 did not pass this test and the GS66 is 42% faster.
In Metro, we return to most of the graphic results, so the GS66 loses 9% to M15 and 18% to Duo 15.
When RTX was on, the difference in Metro was reduced to 4% compared to M15 and to 15% for Duo 15.
