I`m upgrading, are you? (GTX 780M review inside)

I`m thinking he used a custom vbios

 

Obviously a modded vBIOS, but the real question is if it can run at those speeds and how much voltage, power, and extra cooling required.

 

Nice finding!!!well done!!!
The MSI cards are compatible with CLEVO??
edit: I just saw the CLEVO version here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALIENWARE-M...999?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item19dd2b60ef
it's FC04 chips which mean no good OC??

 

That paste job looks like a bird took a dump on your card, no offense.

 

I was about to say the same thing, you are just faster... lol.
But man, i am on the fence as well, my 675M will be underpowered when the new games this years are coming out,i am seriously thinking about the 780M.
But then again. it depends on how Clevo/Sager going to treat customer, either they will make it available to my NP9170/P170EM or not.
Because there is no guarantee that there will be a compatible heatsink and also Official vBIOS...
I will wait...

 

FC04 just run slower at stock 1250MHz compared with 1500MHz of FC03.

 

Just found a MSI GT70 with 780m & 4930MX overview. Video is over 1 hour MSI GT70

 

Sweclockers review of MSI GT70 with 780m and 4930XM.
That cpu is just crazy.. Price of review sample: 4200€

 

Nice overclock. Gained about 20% extra performance

Baseclock/turboclock/GPUBoostclock

Stock: 771MHz/797MHz/849MHz and 1250MHz for the VRAM
Overclock: 876MHz/902MHz/954MHz and 1600MHz for the VRAM

p.s The vid is unlisted so I suppose it's a NDA thing? Is it wrong of me to post the link?

 

Incredible scores, LOL. Straight out of the box it kicks some butt...

 

Anandtech will post GTX 780M review on Monday.

Just to let people know

 

Nice laptop. Looks like MSI did the right thing including the faster vRAM. Cooling temps were pretty incredible too. Looking forward to an in depth review of the unit.

 

It's a little embarrassing that supposedly reputable reviewers "forget" to disable GPU Physx, resulting in the ridiculous CPU score in Vantage

 

Vantage is a worthless benchmark anyhow at this point. Too much influence by CPU.

 

Just curious, anything you feel is missing in Sweclockers review?

Edit: Found two myself. They dont mention gpu under Upgrade possibilities and they only measure temperature on the outside, not the gpu.

 

I'm sad, I see no 120Hz screen option for the new models. I reallllly wanted that screen.

 

I think Asus G750 will have that.
Maybe Alienware too

 

As I brought it up I will post Sweclockers argument. They dont comment the upgrade possibilities for gpus in laptops since the majority of their community are desktop users and of the laptop users only a minority are interested of upgrading. (And we are probably all on NBR).
They also think some programs show the wrong temperature for gpu and cpu, especially in laptops. Any thoughts on that?

 

First of all game benchmarks are sparse and nothing really indicative of GPU performance. Civ 5 and Skyrim are CPU bound and Skyrim is really limited to 60FPS anyhow because game events are timed to work with a vsync environment. Battlefield 3 single player performance is a moot point, because multiplayer is so much more intensive. You can play BF3 SP campaign on a dual core and GT 620m where it won't manage 20FPS in multiplayer.

There is no indication of GPU temperatures or power draw either, and no comparison to 680m or 580m which is what most users want to see. Not to mention no testing or comment about the "battery boost" feature.

 

The meaker edition final specs.

Codename: Kali 5
16f4 barebone with blue steelseries keyboard
1920x1080 matte display
4930xm
16gb samsung 30nm
512gb ocz vector

AMD 8970M is 3% faster than nVidia 780M ?

8970M and 7970M have similar specifications :thumbsup:

 

The Vector in the second slot
Where did you find those 30nm RAM?
4930MX ~ 95% of i7-4770K
Nice machine!!

 

Special imports a while ago, hoping maybe 2400 cl12 if im lucky.

No super raid adapter in mine, if I want more space or speed ill get a second vector.

 

Which other ones have you seen?

 

When does it arrive? BRING IT!

 

That is a sick specification Meaker!! Make us all jealous why don't you

 

Well this lap its like the new MSI GT70 2 OD??and the same features?
If yes it's an interesting idea for my next lapy....
edit:i'm tired with CLEVO(compatible problems!!)

 

$1000 CPU Meaker, you`re crazy

@kolias: Its a GT60 barebone if I`m not mistaken. You don`t have the MSI logo on the lid or have multi colour keyboard. Only blue light. And the keys for the touchpad is slightly different than the MSI model.

 

Any pics of this new barebones model?
Don't care of multi colored backlit keys as long as it's backlit, the one thing I don't like about the new MS GT60 is the very shiny single click bar on the touchpad.It's minor but thought they could at least have seperate left and right click pads.
Any idea when it's out ?
@ Meaker those specs are simply awesome.

 

Welp, my buyer pulled out for my old system so I am going to have to drop the CPU to a 4800MQ.

 

Is this the new barebones model?

 

We have the photos up now but yes that's it.

 

Yeah thats the one.
PowerPro R 5:8-780 Gaming Laptop
FORCE / MSI 16F4-780 (MSI GT60 Barebones) | XOTIC PC

@Meaker:I`m sure that will suffice with a single GPU system. Haswell gained about 8-10% from Ivy so you have a little more juice than last time

 

I have a 485m and it plays 99 percent of all games 1080p and high settings. why are you guys so excited about the 780m? does ultra really look that much better, enough to justify spending 2000. granted im assuming your not all rich as some seem to be.

 

With an MX CPU & 780M (Meaker OC/OV Edition) you would require a bit more than a 240W PSU.

 

I was talking about that lap:
PowerPro R 6:8-780 Gaming Laptop
The 15'6 is the GT60 2 OD & the 17'3 is the GT70 2 OD right?
edit: I think I will pull the trigger with POWERPRO-R-6-8,nice price!!!!!!

 

Thats the 17" Barebone model of GT70 (OD). Same specs and properties as GT60 barebone only bigger screen

 

now I got it....cloud

 

Yeah its a pretty good price. No doubt about that

 

I think this is my confiq:
Configurator

 

Yeah that's the one

Now I just have figure out how to overclock the 4800mq

 

is there any way the 4700mq can be oc?

 

I have a 360 that plays BF3, Crysis 3 and the other ports almost just as well as people that got a gaming notebook with a 485m two years ago for $2000.00. I don't understand why people spend that much money on a laptop? (see what I did there)

I think you came into the wrong thread trying to talk about why people are excited about new technology and computers coming out. After all, this is a gaming enthusiast forum. Haswell+780m is definitely something to be excited about. The 485m you got two years ago (I read your other thread) was NOT cheap and was ridiculously expensive at the time. So your notebook is long in the tooth and you post a thread asking advice from the very enthusiasts you are somewhat talking down to as if we shouldn't be bothered by visual fidelity differences between high and Ultra? You said 720p is fine in your thread. Great. So technology is not that big of deal for you. I see differences between High and Ultra. I definitely see a difference between 720p and 1080p. I definitely like the bleeding edge of technology and I am more than willing to pay for it. My sig has my specs and while I could wait until Maxwell, I don't have a "wait" mentality as it's about enjoying the games now and buying the best you can afford....as you clearly did 2 years ago with your 485m purchase.

 

Holding the G prior powering-up doesn't help?

 

Technology moves... fast, and unfortunately so do prices. But if you want to game you gotta pay. Paying $2000 for a laptop with top end video card at the start of its cycle should garner you a solid 3 years gaming. Personally I almost never opt for Ultra settings even if my machine can handle it because it just doesn't make that much of a difference, and I'd rather be running at 50-70FPS than 40-50FPS.

 

No, but adjusting the base clock ratio might.... If it does not brick the machine.

 

The new GT70 doesn't support XTU and BIOS overclocking?

Also,

Which other modules have you seen?

 

Well the dell ones on ebay and the clevo es ones.

Out of the box no, msi has no cpu oc support.

 

Wrong
