The MSI Bravo 15 C7V (2024) is a gaming laptop with a physical footprint of 359 mm wide by 259 mm deep and a thickness of 24 mm, giving it a volume of 2,231.544 cm³. It weighs 2,250 g and relies on an active cooling system rather than a fanless design. The chassis includes a backlit keyboard for low-light use, though it is not weather-sealed or splashproof.
The laptop features a 15.6-inch IPS panel running at a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 px, which works out to a pixel density of 141 ppi. One of its more notable display attributes is the 144Hz refresh rate, which supports smoother on-screen motion during gaming. The screen does not include a touch layer or anti-reflection coating, and it is a non-touch display throughout.
The processor runs eight cores at a base clock of 4 GHz with a turbo frequency reaching 5.2 GHz, supporting 16 threads and multithreading across a 5 nm architecture, while the 64-bit CPU is backed by 64GB of DDR5 RAM at 5,600 MHz across two memory slots, with that figure also representing the maximum supported memory. Storage is handled by a 4,096GB NVMe SSD connected over PCIe 4.0 using flash storage. On the graphics side, the GPU base clock sits at 1,545 MHz and boosts to 2,370 MHz, paired with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, delivering 14.56 TFLOPS of floating-point performance, a texture rate of 227.52 GTexels/s, and a pixel rate of 113.76 GPixel/s with DirectX 12 Ultimate support; XeSS is not supported.
In Geekbench 6, the system scores 2,449 in the single-core test and 11,515 in the multi-core test, reflecting the processor's threaded throughput. The overall PassMark result stands at 30,100, with a single-core PassMark score of 3,878. Graphics performance is represented by a PassMark G3D result of 17,710, capturing the GPU's rasterization capability as measured by that benchmark.
The port layout includes one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, and one USB 2.0 port, while Thunderbolt 3 and 4, USB 4, DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort, and VGA outputs are all absent. Video output is handled by a single HDMI 2.1 port, and there is no external memory card slot. Wired networking is covered by one RJ45 Ethernet port, and wireless connectivity spans Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) along with Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 5, and Wi-Fi 4, complemented by Bluetooth 5.3. The laptop also supports AirPlay.
The laptop is equipped with a 53.5 Wh battery and supports sleep-and-charge functionality through its USB ports, allowing connected devices to be charged even when the system is off or in sleep mode. It does not use a MagSafe power adapter.
The laptop includes stereo speakers, a 3.5 mm headset jack, and two built-in microphones, though it does not feature Dolby Atmos or an S/PDIF output. A front camera is present, but there is no fingerprint scanner, 3D facial recognition, or voice command support. On the graphics side, the system supports both ray tracing and DLSS, while motion and location sensors — including a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, and GPS — are absent, as is an optical disc drive. No stylus is included.
The CPU carries a 115W TDP, a clock multiplier of 40, a maximum operating temperature of 100 °C, and supports instruction sets including MMX, SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AES, AVX, AVX2, F16C, and FMA3, along with an NX bit and Double Precision Floating Point; the multiplier is locked and big.LITTLE technology is not used. Cache is structured as 512 KB L1, 8 MB L2 at 1 MB per core, and 16 MB L3 at 2 MB per core, with two memory channels and a maximum supported RAM speed of 7,500 MHz. The integrated graphics is the Radeon 780M with 12 execution units, while the discrete GPU is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and features 3,072 shading units, 96 TMUs, 48 ROPs, and 18,900 million transistors, with a memory bus width of 128-bit, GPU memory speed of 2,000 MHz, effective memory speed of 16,000 MHz, and maximum memory bandwidth of 256 GB/s; LHR is not present. The system supports OpenCL 3, OpenGL 4.6, stereoscopic 3D, multi-display output, and ECC memory, and achieves a PassMark DirectCompute score of 6,787 and an overclocked PassMark result of 30,631.
