It was a similar situation with Red Dead Redemption 2 (Medium), where the Katana 15 delivered 52 fps compared to 40 fps for the G15. The Nitro 5 was the next-closest challenger at 45 fps, while the IdeaPad Gaming 3 pulled up the rear of the pack at a meager 21 fps. The Katana 15 stretched its legs in Far Cry 6 (ultra), delivering a heady (for a sub-$1,000 machine) 81 fps. The Nitro 5 and IdeaPad Gaming 3 hit 61 fps, while the G15 was just a step behind at 60 fps. Switching gears to Grand Theft Auto V (very high), the Katana 15 again landed in the top spot with 70 fps. For reference, a Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (Core i7-13700, RTX 4060) hits 107 fps in this benchmark at 1080p. The Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 (Core i5-12500H, RTX 3050 Ti) pulled up the rear with 39 fps. The Acer Nitro 5 (Core i5-12500H, RTX 3050 Ti) and Dell G15 (Core i5-12500H, RTX 3050 Ti) tied for second place at 52 fps. The Shadow of the Tomb Raider (highest) benchmark saw the Katana 15 pull out a commanding lead at 73 frames per second at 1080p resolution. I also played Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p with Ultra-RT settings with DLSS DG and DLSS SR (Quality), averaging around 70 fps. The Katana 15 hit the 144 fps limit of the 144 Hz display and maintained that performance throughout multiplayer gaming sessions. I spent an hour blasting folks in Overwatch 2 with 1080p Ultra settings. We expect machines like these to target the esports community, and the Katana 15 can hold its own in Overwatch 2. We saw frame rates hover around 70 to 80 fps in the games we tested at 1080p resolution and high detail settings enabled. Our MSI Katana 15 review was nicely equipped with an Intel Core i7-13620H Raptor Lake processor, an entry-level GeForce RTX 4050 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200 RAM (2 x 8GB) and a 1TB M.2 PCIe SSD.
