PC and laptop configurations equipped with an RTX 4000 series can command high prices, so high that they’re generally reserved for the wealthy or professionals who desperately need the performance of these components. However, some of these GPUs are cheaper and can even be found in discounted configurations, like this MSI Crosshair 15 with an RTX 4070, which drops in price from $1,949.99 to $1,599.99 during Amazon’s spring break sale.
A few months ago, Nvidia released five new graphics cards that managed to break the ceiling imposed by the RTX 3000 and soar even higher in terms of performance. These are the RTX 4000 and the two very high quality models RTX 4080 and 4090 that go far beyond what is currently being made. But this configuration from the manufacturer MSI, which interests us here, is equipped with an RTX 4070, also excellent, which benefits from a reduction of almost 20% during Amazon’s spring flash sales.
The MSI Crosshair 15 C12VG-432FR in a few points
- The performance of the GeForce RTX 4070
- A screen with a frame rate of 240 Hz
- A 12th Gen Intel Core i7 with 16GB DDR5 RAM
- Nvidia Optimus technology that saves battery
Instead of the crossed-out price of 1,949.99 euros, the MSI Crosshair 15 C12VG-432FR is now on sale at Amazon for 1,599.99 euros.
A laptop gamer with concrete characteristics
Unlike the MSI Katana, the MSI Crosshair has a flashier design with a more colorful body like this Crosshair 15 with blue, green, and yellow painted buttons. On the other hand, this model weighs in at just 15.6 inches diagonally, easily tipping the scales at 2 kg. We expect nothing less from a laptop with plenty of state-of-the-art components in its belly. The connector set is also complete with USB-A and USB-C connectors.
However, the 15.6-inch screen offers the necessary minimum display with IPS LCD technology and a Full HD resolution (1920×1080 pixels), which prevents you from enjoying the games in their true graphic quality. We still have an impressive 240Hz refresh rate, ideal for highly competitive and naughty multiplayer games. In terms of storage, we already have a 512GB NVMe SSD installed, which can be accompanied by another M.2 SSD.
What the RTX 4070 is worth in this configuration
No suspense on this page, the RTX 4070 is one of the most powerful graphics cards currently available, only surpassed by the RTX 4080 and 4090 at the time of writing. That means this configuration is more efficient than the most powerful configuration of the previous generation, which was then able to rely on the RTX 3080 Ti. With this GPU you can run all current and upcoming games in 1440p at 80 FPS with ray tracing and DLSS 3 on the program. It’s just discouraging!
As a processor we have an Intel Core i7-12650H with 10 cores and 16 threads capable of reaching a maximum frequency of 4.7 GHz. It’s also supported by 16GB of DDR5 RAM, as this configuration can accommodate up to 64GB in two slots. The processor also has a dedicated GPU, which is an Intel Iris Xe that the laptop can switch to when you don’t need a lot of graphics resources thanks to Nvidia Optimus technology. Among other things, this preserves the life of your battery.
