The MSI GF63 gaming laptop is available for
a pretty good price, probably why so many
of you have asked me to check it out, but
how well does it perform in games?
I’ve
benchmarked 15 different games at all setting
levels to show you how well it runs and help
you decide if it’s worth it.
Just quickly before we jump into the benchmark
results I’ll cover off the specs in this
laptop.
There’s an Intel i7-8750H CPU, Nvidia
GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q graphics, and 8GB of memory
running at DDR4-2400 in single channel, so
performance could be improved with a higher
speed dual channel configuration.
I was running Windows 10 with these Nvidia
drivers, with the fans in cooler boost mode
for best performance, so let’s see how well
it runs!
Fortnite:
Fortnite was tested with the replay feature,
and I found it to play pretty well with high
settings or below, which was still able to
give me a solid 60 frames per second on average.
Overwatch:
Overwatch was tested playing in the practice
range, and as a pretty well optimized game
I was able to average above 60 FPS even with
epic settings with the 1% low not too far
behind the average, and then even 100 FPS
at ultra settings so it was playing very well.
Battlefield 5:
Battlefield 5 was tested in campaign mode
and not in multiplayer mode, as it’s easier
to consistently reproduce the test run. Low
settings were needed in order to average above
60 FPS in my test, and it played pretty well.
Battlefield 1:
Battlefield 1 was also tested in campaign
mode, and comparatively performed quite a
lot better than Battlefield V. It still felt
playable in my test at ultra settings at least,
with no real difference in terms of 1% low
between setting levels.
PUBG:
PUBG was tested using the replay feature,
and although this is a less optimized game
it was still playable at around low settings,
with very low settings required to reach a
60 FPS average in my testing.
CS:GO
CS:GO was tested using the Ulletical benchmark,
and although the frame rates aren’t quite
as high as the usual 200 FPS I see when testing
this game with other laptops, we’re still
seeing pretty high results, easily playable
no problems.
Rainbow Six Siege:
Rainbow Six Siege was tested with the built
in benchmark, and again pretty much always
results in high frame rates. At ultra settings
we’re almost getting 90 FPS with 60 for
the 1% low, and then up to 130 FPS at low
settings.
Far Cry 5:
Far Cry 5 was also tested with the built in
benchmark, and there wasn’t too much difference
between the setting levels in terms of 1%
low, and not really that much difference with
the averages either, up to 50 FPS at low settings.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey:
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey was another game
that was tested with the built in benchmark,
and as a pretty poorly optimized game the
frame rates we’re seeing aren’t that high,
but it was playable at medium and low settings,
I don’t think the game needs a high frame
rate to play.
Dota 2:
Dota 2 was tested using a fairly intensive
replay, so this should be a worst case scenario,
these results are not the same as actually
playing the game which would result in higher
performance. I did play a quick game with
ultra settings just for comparison, and it
was averaging around 90 FPS with not much
going on.
Watch Dogs 2:
Watch Dogs 2 is a demanding game, but as it
doesn’t seem to need a high frame rate to
play I have no trouble playing at very high
settings, anything above 30 FPS as long as
the 1% low isn’t too terrible runs fine
for me. Ultra was a bit choppy but anything
else was acceptable.
Ghost Recon:
Ghost Recon is another demanding game and
was tested using the built in benchmark, I’d
argue a higher frame rate is more preferable
in this sort of game, but with the frame rates
seen at medium and low settings you should
be able to play it well enough.
The Witcher 3:
The Witcher 3 played great at anything below
Ultra, most laptops don’t run too great
at ultra settings in this title, but at high
or below it seemed fine, with above 60 FPS
averages possible at medium settings or lower.
DOOM:
DOOM was tested using Vulkan, and the game
played smoothly even at ultra settings where
we still saw over 60 FPS averages with the
1% low not too much further behind, then up
to 80 FPS at low settings.
Shadow of war:
Shadow of war was tested with the built in
benchmark, and we’re still able to average
close to 60 FPS with medium settings, and
should still be playable around here or lower.
MSI GF63 testing a laptop with
GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q graphics, and we were seeing
fairly decent frame rates in most games. Basically
all games played well at low to medium settings,
while some better optimized games like overwatch
ran well even maxed out.
I did think the i7-8750H was a little strange
of a match up with the 1050 Ti Max-Q, the
i5-8300H probably would have made more sense
and would likely result in a cheaper laptop
that would perform basically the same in most
games. As mentioned earlier, results could
be improved by upgrading to a dual channel
memory configuration.

I have already tested undervolting or overclocking. To see undervolting or overclocking performing along with detailed temperature testing click on the link I have given.
This is just how the laptop performs out of
the box in a number of different games, as
this is likely how most people will probably
end up using it, but don’t worry though
I’ll definitely cover the more advanced
in upcoming videos too.
So how do you guys think the MSI GF63 8RD
gaming laptop did in these games? It’s doing
pretty well for a mid range laptop with around
mid range graphics. Although it was still
capable of playing all these games with around
low to medium settings no problem, a dual
channel memory configuration most likely would
have helped it perform a bit better.
