The RTX 4000 graphics cards have broken through the glass ceiling set by the excellent RTX 3000s. They are more efficient and use three times less energy than the previous generation. With such a GPU, you'll be able to play all the latest AAA games without any trouble. However, we still have to pay the price for those that are yet to come. But some configurations get discounts from time to time. This MSI Katana 15 with an RTX 4060 GPU and a 200-euro discount at the moment is a good example.
The MSI Katana 15 B12VFK-241XFR in a few ways
- The 105W TGP of a GeForce RTX 4060
- A screen with a 144 Hz refresh rate
- 16 GB of RAM and an i5 processor from the 12th generation.
Cdiscount is selling the MSI Katana 15 B12VFK-241XFR for 1199.99 euros instead of its usual price of 1399.99 euros.
How much the RTX 4060 is worth
One of the hardest things about making a laptop gamer is getting all the parts to fit into the case like a game of Tetris while still letting air flow. But an RTX 4060 will get hot when used a lot and won't last very long, even though the GPU TDP is only 105 W. The first benefit of this graphics card is that it performs at the same level even though it uses less power than older models.
Even though the RTX 4060 only has 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, while the RTX 3060 had 12GB, different benchmarks say that its performance is on par with the RTX 3070 Ti. Obviously, you'll be able to play the newest AAA games in 1080p or 1440p with DLSS and ray tracing turned on. Even with advanced settings, the number of frames per second (FPS) shouldn't go down, so use this 144 Hz panel to its fullest.
A display for video games
As we've already said, this version of the MSI Katana 15 has a 15.6-inch IPS LCD screen with Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) and an extremely smooth frame rate. So, this screen can be used for any kind of video game, from epic single-player games with beautiful graphics to high-pressure multiplayer games. The resolution should have been a bit higher, especially for people who edit photos or videos and need to see small details on the screen.
The processor is an Intel Core i5-12450H, which has 8 cores and 12 threads and can be clocked from 2 GHz to 4.4 GHz. It has 16GB of DDR5 RAM running at 4800MHz, which makes it easy to switch between tasks. We have a 512 GB NVMe SSD for storage. A USB-A Gen 2.0 port, two USB-A Gen 3.2 ports, a USB-C port, an RJ45 port, and an HDMI port let you use the connection in many different ways.
