With this level of hardware, you can expect great performance at 1080p. You’ll get over 200fps in esports titles like Fortnite and Valorant, while AAA games like Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War run at ~120fps. Even in heavier games like Control and Battlefield 2042, you’ll have the ability to hit 60fps with ease at high settings - pretty impressive stuff for a laptop. Having an RTX card means you can enjoy the enhanced visuals of ray tracing, but more importantly you can use DLSS in supported games to boost frame-rates signficantly. This is why laptops like this MSI Katana shouldn’t go overlooked, as the 3070 and i7-11800H are going to be more than capable of playing whatever you happen to want to play right now and in the future? DLSS or even FSR - which supports Nvidia cards as well as AMD - will be able to assist you in carrying on that same experience as time marches forward. Over on the Deals Foundry Twitter page, we’ve been advocating for people to give these older laptops a look, especially as the current 12th-gen Intel and most recent Ryzen 6000 laptops costing hundreds of pounds more while offering only a modest boost to performance - the value proposition just isn’t there unless you absolutely have to be on the bleeding edge. We reckon this deal is well worth considering, but if you think you’ve found better, let us know in the comments. We’ll see you next time!
