The MSI GF63 Thin 12VE budget gaming laptop featuring NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card has a weak spot. It comes with only 8GB or RAM. Is it enough to play the latest games in 2023? Let's find out! Additionally, I tested fan noise, DLSS, as well as NVIDIA Frame Generation.

I look forward to seeing more laptop reviews. Great video 😊

Thanks!🙂 It was fun to explore this laptop and make a video about it. I'll definitely do more content like it and better in the future.

Nice review, i wonder how the 4050 fares against the previous model with the rtx 3060 75w tgp. I have an issue i noticed on mine, there was a power cut while gaming then the system just powered off. on a reboot the battery is full, i tried starting the game but it still goes off. Did you notice this?

@iVadimUnbox 6 ай бұрын

Can't say I had a similar experience. I've unplugged and plugged in the power cable many times during running a game and didn't experience anything like this. But then I imagine it is very different from what a power outage or a power spike may do to the system.

You must be living in a much warmer place than me🙂 It's winter time in the UK now and my room temp is ~18C. That must be contributing towards lower temps a bit.

I was finding out about the Lenovo Ideapad 3 rtx 4050, 170w charger and it turns out that the battery discharges even using the charger with games like warzone 2, is this normal? Does the same thing happen on MSI gf63?

@iVadimUnbox 5 ай бұрын

That is not normal. I haven't had such issue with this MSI laptop. Or any other laptop I owned in the past. 170W should be plenty for such a system. Maybe the charger or the laptop are defective? I'd contact Lenovo support.

@@iVadimUnbox Thank you 😊 a question, I am from Peru and I want to buy an Asus rog g15 laptop with rtx 4060 through Amazon, it is "cheaper". It costs 1230 USD and after years of saving I am going to buy my first laptop, before it was 1100 USD now 1230 USD, when will the price drop again to 1100? Those 130 USD will help me a lot👌

i got over 90fps-100fps in pubg with this laptop ( same like you ) on ultra settings but somtimes drop to 70 but its okay, all u need to do is overclock the laptop with msi afterburner, turn on gaming mode on windows 11, turn on the fan to extreme and done ure ready to rock

Cs 1.6 you can run 60fps HD with a voodoo and a pentium LOL, this would literally give you 60+ fps in 1.6, even in cs2

It only crossed my mind because the performance settings are so drastically different I wonder if they are meant to be ran at about the same or not? I know ones a lot louder and if thats an average. haha@@iVadimUnbox

@iVadimUnbox 7 ай бұрын

@@typerightseesight oh... that I can answer. The reason the performance is reduced while on battery is because the battery can't deliver enough power to run the GPU and the CPU at the same level as when plugged in. It is very common across the entire PC laptop selection featuring even a relatively powerful hardware. Even the RTX 4050. Only MacBooks deliver same performance on battery and plugged in as far as I know.

@samuelballard3467 2 ай бұрын

This dude sounds like anything that isnt apple, is garbage and why would you even try. The battery is able to power the compents the exact same as if it wad plugged in. The difference is the laptop automatically switches to lower power consumption mode when unplugged because that allows it to conserves battery longer. And go longer without charging. You can turn the feature off and your laptop will perform the exact same, charging or not.

@drummer7557 5 ай бұрын

I won't buy one, even though it's cheap and has 16gb of RAM, on sale. Because of the Hinge issues most of them have. I have a 10 year old 17.3 HP still going (with a few upgrades), and a 7 year old one thats meh, showing it's age. I don't game on laptops anyway. But I do like the specs of the MSI, just not the quality.
