New ASUS ROG G750 JM/JS/JZ (Nvidia 800M Series)

Guys,

May you tell me if this hardware (msata I think) was at your G750JZ? My question is to owners of european version without any SSD.



Additionally, may you tell me Asus g750 series have WORLDWIDE WARRANTY?

 

Any non populated slots will be blank. That card only comes with machines that ship with SSDs.

 

How to search that card? How it is called exactly and how much need to pay for it?

 

It's not a publicly released part, since it's limited to single SATA III speeds you should just buy a 2.5" drive if putting in something yourself.

 

hello guys,

I finally bought my g750jz. I additionally bought 4gbx2 ram so 16gb ram in total and I bought 500gb samsung ssd for the empty place.

I haven't opened the box yet and first of all I want to ask you.

Does Windows 8.1 comes preinstalled? If so, what should I do to copy everything into SSD and to work Windows there? Do I need to COPY EVERYTHING from the current HDD or is there any specific part which I need to copy and install a fresh Windows?

Thanks in advance!

 

You'll want to run the backup program for the system disk, but it's going to be tricky to do a fresh install on the OEM key. It should not be needed as Asus don't tend to bloat much.

 

For example this one tells a very clean install. http://forums.tweakarena.com/showthread.php?t=299
I do not need such. Like in my brother's sony, Can't I just install it from disc itself without using oem key, usb stick or dvd?


By the way, I am not sure but I think Asus G750 series come with a single language Windows. So that means I can't install my own language Windows for free?

 

If that works then it works, some people I was told that OEM keys can have issue with retail ISOs maybe that was incorrect.

 

I have a few inquiries about the 2014 G750, if someone could please answer them for me:

1) The subwoofer is located on the very side of the laptop.
In a normal speaker setup, it often does not matter where a subwoofer is placed because low frequencies can be detected universally, but woofer location is more of an issue with laptops because a laptop woofer's enclosure is small and often times they end up outputting high frequencies than woofers should.
Thus my question is, due to the fact the G750's woofer is located at the front left edge of the laptop and has a fairly small enclosure, does speaker output of the G750 (particularly mids and lows) sound like it's off to the side, or laterally centered?

To provide some background, my first subwoofer laptop was the MSI GT60. The woofer on the GT60 is located about 2 inches off to the right of the center of the laptop, but its enclosure was fairly deep (since the woofer is located at the back of the laptop) and so speaker output sounded centered. I recently switched to the MSI GS70, which has a tiny subwoofer located on the very-very side of the laptop, and so speaker output is much louder on one side of the machine -- not to mention that a subwoofer on such a slim laptop is absolutely ineffective for its intended purpose.


2) I've heard that the G750's battery life is impressive (better than that of MSI and Alienware machines, etc.).
This review from "laptopmag" claims that the G750 can last 6 and a half hours on 40% brightness with WIFI enabled: ASUS G750JZ Review - Gaming Notebook - Laptop Mag
Is 6.5 hours accurate with these settings? How many hours of usage are you guys able to squeeze out of this laptop? (When I'm on the go, I usually running at 20-30% brightness with WIFI enabled.)


3) How is the build quality of the G750's screen hinges?
From the experience that I have, MSI tends to employ awful hinges. The hinges on my previous MSI GT60 were in poor condition upon receiving the laptop, and completely seized and snapped about 1 year into usage.


Thanks in advance, and I'll be posting this in the owners' lounge thread as well.

 

1) Sounds centered to me
2) battery life is impressive but I haven't sat down to measure it. It certainly lasts two or three times more than it ever did on my G73JH
3) So far so good, the hinges feel solid.

 

Hi everyone.

I wanted to share some different Elan touchpad drivers. I noticed the ASUS touchpad drivers don't let you disable the coasting auto-scroll feature and it makes me crazy in strategy games. The regular Elan OEM drivers do. They also have a less gaudy interface. Looks like ASUS skinned the Elan UI but missed a few things.

Elan
(I installed 11.14.6.1)

 

Always worth checking out the latest drivers from device manufacturers if you are looking for different features, thanks for sharing.

 

Thanks for the response. I'd love to get some more battery life estimates from personal experiences.

Down to 10% battery at 20-30% brightness with WIFI enabled, I got about 4 hours on my MSI GT60 with HDDs, and I'm currently getting over 5 hours on my MSI GS70 with SSDs.

 

4 hours was quite low for the GT60, but the Asus usually gets a bit more, you should be looking at over 6 hours.

 

Geez that's impressive.
I also plan to fit in a Samsung 840 EVO (1TB) because I hear they're the most power-efficient on idle and would help to save battery even more.

 

The 850 pro is the most impressive power/performance wise but you pay for it.

 

Yes I pre ordered one on Amazon today 256gb for $200 I should have it Wednesday will put it in my G75VW DS2

 

will the current G750 models be updated with nvidia maxwell when it is released or will ASUS launch new models for the maxwells?

 

One is already Maxwell.

 

As with every other company if products fit into the current spaces held by chips they are very likely to be slot in as replacements.

 

...and the maxwell chips require less cooling right? so a G750j will have even more air to breathe with a maxwell.

 

The chip should be in a similar power range, but be much faster. Maxwell improves performance per watt and performance per die area.

 

I doubt at least the first generation products will be quite so close the edge as the 880M. Maybe a refresh.

 

Yeah it is possible they will stick to ~75W initially. I've read the two chips coming are GM204 and GM206. GM206 is likely in the 75W range since it replaces GK106 in its market segment.

 

A true 880M replacement would be 100W, but the 780M and 880M are actually 110W products and the 880M really wants the TDP set at 125W at least to let it not throttle.

 

A bit off topic if I may - does the G750 support RAID 1, or just RAID 0?

 

Why raid 1? Seems a bit dangerous to keep your backup in a notebook to me.

 

I don't want to start a discussion about raid 1 here and yes, I am fully aware that raid 1 is NOT backup I am still wondering if the G750 supports it though, any sign of it in bios?

 

The chipset does, it would be if it were manually disabled and hidden in there, usually 0 and 1 are left on.

 

Out of curiosity I tested RAID mode on my G750jm. The Intel RAID utility is there at boot (Ctrl-I) but I only saw RAID 0 available.

However, it would be possible to use Windows software RAID 1 with two drives if you converted the optical bay to another drive bay via a caddy. Windows software RAID is actually preferable to chipset RAID, though you can't boot from it. Use the optical drive in a USB enclosure.

 

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. I guess I will look elsewhere then

 

Hi.
I have Asus G750JZ, and 2 questions:
With default cooler settings notebook works about 72-74ºC of cpu and 80-81ºC of gpu, and with gpu cooler to 100% (with GPU tweak software) around 64ºC cpu and 68ºC gpu.
It´s possible activate the gpu cooler around 50-60% ??

And another question. My computer doesn´t includes SSD or mSata by default.
It´s possible Raid 0 with two 2,5" SSD or just is possible with mSata PCB ??

 

mSATA PCB if you want to keep the current HDD.
But, why RAID 0 SSD's? Except benchmarks, there is no noticeable performance gain in daily use applications.

 

You can raid two drives in the two 2.5" bays. You could always replace the optical bay with a HDD using a caddy and run an external optical drive if you dont use them much.

 

Guys I am worried about the G750 line from ASUS. I love it so please someone reassure me.

MSI just launched the GT72 Dominator which is an overhauled Desktop Replacement with redesigned cooling and noise control similar to what ASUS does, the main difference is that it will accommodate the Maxwell cards, the next generation Intel CPUs (9-series chipset, dont know the exact name) and even now it comes with a stock CPU faster than the one in the ASUS G750 and an Nvidia GTX 880M with 8GB VRAM (please dont turn this into an argument on the value of more VRAM)...

So is ASUS planning to launch a refresh of the current G750 models? A faster CPU? a GTX 880M with more VRAM? Support for the 9th generation chipset? support for Nvidia Maxwell? and when?

I need to buy either an ASUS or an MSI by Christmas 2014.

 

Asus will surely update their G750 or launch a G760

 

Hi,

I have originally 750 hdd 5400 rpm in G750JZ but I removed it since you told that it makes the laptop hotter even it is idle. I have one 500 gb samsung evo ssd and it works great. However I also want RAID 0 since my second drive is empty so what I need to buy second SSD and choose RAID option from BIOS?? thats all??? Additionally, do I need to buy Samsung evo to make RAID 0? I have just seen that Crucial released a new 500GB SSD and it is reasonably cheaper than Samsung Evo and I would try Crucial if it will be possible. If you say 2 Samsung fits better, then I will go with Samsung anyway.


So far, I love my G750JZ. it is a real monster. I seriously swear a lot to my EX 2 Clevo since they were very loud and problematic. I have only one disturbance. When the computer is idle or surfing on the net, left fan continuously works and I barely hear it. First 3 days, It wasnt like that. So I dont know if a new bios or something will fix it. As I read, old G series were quite silent during idle or surfing.

Thanks!

 

If you don't mind blasting all data on the drive, go into the bios, set AHCI to raid, on reboot go into the intel raid manager and create an array with the two drives (choose your preferred block size). This will format both drives and create the array.

 

GUYS the successor to the G750 series is here

Guys, I'm planing to buy this laptop anytime soon, the model "G750JM". I am a casual gamer, nothing extreme, since most of my games I will play on a PS4. Thus, the GTX 860 will fit my needs. My question: The screen is that bad as people are saying? Or it is something related to some specific units?
As I said I'm a casual gamer and not even close to a professional photoshop user but I do want a nice screen!

 

Ummm blasting the all data wouldnt be nice already) however if it is the only way, then I would do. Is it the easiest and the only way?

May you tell me if a different model SSD would work Raid?

 

Hi guys,

I'm deciding between the Asus G750JM and another laptop so I need your opinion. The other one would be a GT70 Dominator 895, CPU downgrade to I7 4700 + 8GB of ram + GTX 870 3GB DDR5 (with some cool features like the Killer internet card, the Steelseries keyboard, and Dynaudio).
As I said in a previous post I'm not a heavy gamer but I do like a crisp screen and good sound.

What do you guys think? What are the common problems with the Asus G750JM so far?

thank you very much!

 

Asus G750 JZ

 

How are you enjoying it?

 

Apart from the issues with Optimus it's a great machine. It's very quite even under sustained load. Asus really have done a superb job with the cooling on this machine.

The screen is good on this one as well. I had the JH model before and the screen on that was horrendous. It does have quite an aggressive AG coating but that bothers me less than it might others.

Very nice laptop although I'm looking forward to seeing how the GT72 compares.

 

What optimus issues are you having?

 

I do nou have an issues on optimus. Works great. Really what issues do you have?

My only wish would be more silence during idle at this machine.

 

A few games I have tried will not launch full screen or let you select full screen once running like Grid Autosport and Diablo.

Mine is very quiet at idle the CPU fan spins up every so often but makes very little noise.

 

how do you like the laptop so far?

 

So far I don't really like to G750JZ ...

I can install latest NVidia drivers, however they are horrible! Too many bugs!
A lot of games (not all) feel choppy/have microstutter if the FPS is below 60 (usually around the 40s) and ALL Blizzard games (Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, World of Warcraft) work good in-game, however the cinematics (rendered or game engine videos) are choppy/have small stutter.
I have tried ALL drivers (including beta drivers too) which are available for download from NVidia's website, all have these bugs.
I also tried an old driver from Asus, 332.35 driver with Assassins Creed 3 and in AC3 the menu was running in 60 FPS but the animation looked like if it was running with like 20 FPS ...

The main reason why I have bought 1 single, powerfull NVidia card, instead of 2 less powerfull Radeon cards in Crossfire, was because I did not wanted to see microstutter , however that is exactly what I am experiencing! Cinematics are stuttering, a lot of games stuttering if the fps is "only" 40, etc... is this the most powerful laptop VGA NVidia was able to produce ?! Really disappointing ...

Is this because of Optimus, bad driver or the card itself is just garbage ?

ps.: This is ofcourse on brand new, Windows 7, Windows 8 and 8.1 (the stuttering is the worst on 8.1)
