MSI Katana GF66 review – entry-level gaming will never be the same
Source: Laptop Media English EN→zh-CN
Out of the three MSI laptops we’ve tested with the 11th Generation Intel processors, the Katana GF66 happens to have the best battery life. Although all three have the same 53.5Wh unit inside. We got 5 hours and 48 minutes of Web browsing, and about 4 hours and a half of video playback. In order to achieve these results, however, we’ve gone as far as changing the CPU fan curve. We noticed that by default, the processor fan was always spinning. Thankfully, MSI Center makes it pretty easy to tinker with this stuff. Just go to “User scenarios”, then choose “Advanced” on fan control, and drag the dot that corresponds to the cool temperature all the way down to 0%. This means your fan will only start spinning after your CPU has heated up a bit, which is completely harmless and harnesses a bit more screen-on time.

66% MSI Katana GF66 Review – Slick Budget Gaming Laptop Tested
Source: Hitech Century English EN→zh-CN
For the price of entry, the MSI Katana GF66 gaming laptop gives you access to a high-refresh rate display, a relatively beefy 11th Gen Intel Tiger Lake CPU and an NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti graphics card to tackle current gen-gaming. As it stands, it’s a fairly decent budget gaming laptop without significant drawbacks that would affect its intended role bar the need for additional RAM out of the box and is well worth a look.

At this point, you might think this is a negative review. IT IS NOT. I must clarify that MSI has done nothing wrong with the decision to go with RTX 3050 Ti and RTX 3050 for the GF66 series. The laptop itself is well built and the overall user experience has been positive without any hiccups. It is just how the industry moves forward with the latest selection of chip. PCMark10 clearly shows the pairing of 11th Gen Intel and RTX 30 series card is still beneficial to the overall user experience. I just wanted to point out that NVIDIA’s promise for ray tracing experience might cause disappointment when customers thought their entry-range RTX card can produce magical results. Generally, I think the RT cores in the RTX 3050 Ti is only useful in less demanding titles or if the user is trying out ray tracing in their own software or games development.

The MSI Katana GF66 has an 11th-gen i7 Intel CPU and an Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti under the hood, and yet won't cost you much money at all – and that makes it an appealing package overall, even if there are some compromises make to keep it as affordable as possible.

MSI Katana GF66 Review Philippines: Budget RTX Laptop?
Source: Unbox English EN→zh-CN
Our MSI Katana GF66 review for the Philippine market is a pretty mixed bag. On the one hand, it’s pretty competitively priced (considering the other options at the market as of press time) at a hair below Php 70K for the unit we reviewed. Its screen is fairly ok, and anyone looking for a laptop to play competitive FPS games will be happy with the fast 144Hz refresh rate. On the other hand, the RTX 3050 GPU struggles to deliver 60FPS gaming with modern titles at max graphical settings, which means you’ll have to turn down the graphics on your favorite games to get that 60FPS target. Of course, you can leverage the power of NVIDIA’s ray-tracing tech, though obviously, not all games support it.

72% MSI Katana GF66 (RTX3060) Laptop Review
Source: Player English EN→zh-CN
The gaming performance is decent too thanks to MSI’s pairing of the Intel Core i7-11800H 8-core-16-thread CPU and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX3060 Laptop GPU. Especially when we compare results to the Stealth 15M we reviewed recently. Though in fairness, the chassis of the Katana GF66 is 8mm’s thicker providing more cooling potential and the core and thread count of the CPU’s on offer is doubled in the Katana GF66’s favour, with 8-cores 16-threads vs 4-cores 8-threads.

70% MSI Katana GF66 (11UE) Review: Not The Sharpest Tool In The Shed
Source: Gadgetbyte Nepal English EN→zh-CN
Wrapping up this review of the MSI Katana GF66 (11UE), I’d say it’s certainly not the best value gaming laptop for the price. At least not here in Nepal. Its subtle-but-weak design, comparatively less powerful GPU, and horrendous battery life are outclassed by the competition like Acer’s Predator Helios 300 (2021) that’s superior in all these aspects. Yes, it bears a more aggressive design but if you can look past that, it’s a superior device through and through. Not to mention, the Helios 300 has a much better QHD screen with 100% DCI-P3 color coverage as well.

Though we wish the MSI Katana GF66 had a more vivid screen, a little more CPU muscle, and longer battery life, none of those flaws stops it from being a respectable budget gaming laptop. It offers GeForce RTX 3060 graphics at an RTX 3050 Ti (or even regular RTX 3050) price, and that GPU helps it make the most of its 144Hz display. That's a rare achievement for a laptop in this price class, and equally unusual for the money is its roomy 1TB solid-state drive, well suited to the ballooning sizes of today's game installs. All told, the Katana GF66 is a standout value and earns an Editors' Choice award for cash-strapped gamers' consideration.

Source: Laptop Mag English EN→zh-CN
There’s not a lot going for the MSI Katana GF66 apart from its strong performance. It overcame its competitors in most of our CPU and GPU benchmarks. But that’s not enough when the GF66 falters when it comes to the key pillars of a gaming laptop. The display is dull, the battery life is shorter than a feature film, and it’s not nearly as portable as other laptops. For the same price, you can pick up the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE, which features 6-plus hours of battery life, a colorful display and a sleek chassis. However, it didn’t perform as well as the Katana. Overall, the MSI Katana GF66 isn’t a terrible choice if you want to prioritize performance, but you can do much better for the price.

Review MSI Katana GF66 11UD gaming laptop
Source: Technobig English EN→zh-CN
The MSI Katana GF66 11UD is a relatively budget gaming laptop with entry-level NVIDIA Ampere mobile discrete graphics. It has very decent performance in games, and the new 11th generation Intel Core i5 mobile processor performs well in CPU-dependent tasks. To find fault here, by and large, it is possible only to the display: yes, it supports a refresh rate of 144 Hz, without which modern gaming screens are already unthinkable, but a frankly narrow color gamut leads to faded and expressionless colors.

76% MSI Katana GF66 11UD review: a versatile gaming laptop
Source: Root Nation English EN→zh-CN
MSI Katana GF66 11UD is an example of a well-balanced gaming laptop that is capable of offering a sufficient level of performance for the segment, albeit not a record. At the same time, it managed not to fail in many other aspects. Thus, the user has his hands free for the future upgrade of individual internal components, the laptop has a sufficient number of ports, as well as a keyboard suitable for all tasks. Of course, the situation with the display turned out to be twofold. On the one hand, the refresh rate of 144 Hz is a nice feature of the device, but the picture quality itself is average, which is why the laptop can not be recommended for more or less substantial work with images or videos, if we are not talking about an external monitor, of course. The rest makes it a quite normal, versatile device. Well, those, who feels that bundle of Intel Core i5-11400H processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti video card is not enough, can always consider options MSI Katana GF66 with more powerful graphics adapters. As we found out, there are a lot of them and it will be possible to pick up something more powerful.

MSI Katana GF66 11UD to dobrze wyważony laptop do gier, który jest w stanie zaoferować wystarczający poziom wydajności, choć nie jest to wskaźnik rekordowy. Wśród plusów – możliwość upgrade’u poszczególnych komponentów, wystarczająca ilość portów, klawiatura odpowiednia do wszystkich zadań. Sytuacja z wyświetlaczem okazała się niejasna. 144 Hz to fajna funkcja, ale jakość obrazu jest przeciętna. Cóż, jeśli dla kogoś połączenia Intel Core i5-11400H i NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti będzie za mało, zawsze może rozważyć wersje Katana GF66 z lepszymi kartami graficznymi. Jak się dowiedzieliśmy, jest ich wiele.

60% MSI Katana GF66 (i7-12700H / RTX 3060) Gaming Laptop Review
Source: Kitguru English EN→zh-CN
In fact, there's no way around it, the MSI Katana GF66 has plenty of downsides. The screen quality is mediocre – at best – aside from the refresh rate. The battery life is atrocious and charging options feel archaic. Physical port connectivity is out of touch with the 2022 market. And the glaringly cheap chassis construction leaves plenty to be desired. But, if you are looking for a cost-effective gaming laptop that is simply going to sit there and push pixels from your favourite games onto the high refresh rate 1080p screen, MSI’s Katana GF66 will do a reasonable job. It’s not fancy or finesse, but its hardware is cooled well and the 12th Gen Intel CPU will appeal to many. At £1399 though, there are better options on the market. Particularly the Ryzen 7- and RTX 3070-powered Lenovo Legion 5 or Acer Nitro 5, or the Ryzen 9 and RTX 3070 Gigabyte Aorus A5 X1, or the Ryzen 9 and RX 6800M ASUS ROG STRIX G15. A price point of £1399 really is RTX 3070 (or RX 6800M) territory, but the Katana GF66 12UE sample that we have reviewed in this article does not offer that.

MSI Katana GF66 (2022) Review
Source: Noteb (YT) English EN→zh-CN
In conclusion, is the MSI Katana GF66 worth it? Well, maybe with some hefty discounts. The machine has decent gaming performance, and for the right price, it would be great for a gamer on a tight budget. But the screen and the low-quality chassis are very off-putting, so it is better to save a few more bucks and get a Nitro 5 or a Legion 5 instead.
