-->*OFFICIAL: MSI GT725 Owner's Lounge*<--

1st...am still lenaraSSS.. 2nd ban would be with 4 ssss
2nd..how u know that i had 64bit xp? pPPPPp
but anw now i have the best choice i think...w7 32 and 64 bit:// 32 exactly clean and 64 for games

 

i cant believe it .... MSI GT725-212US gone from market....u cant find new...new gt729 is crap anw...I LOVE MY LAPPP

 

why is it crap ? coz it got DDR3 and 1Gb Vram ? last time you said it was crap you can't do anything with it... oh well

 

oh yeh! because the gt725 is soooo much different from the 729! pPpPppPPp

 

If I could exchange my 725 to a 729 I would without hesitation .. I was pissed when msi announced It ! as a month or so before I bought the 725 ! Been thinking about selling it for a while now .. The 1gb VRAM will come in very handy for me .. Games are becoming more and more memory oriented ..

 

Coz i love my quad core excellent for multi tasking and i love my 1920x1200 res..!! thats why!!!!!! 512 to 1gb vram doesnt mean that u have better graphics. Ram is the last thing u will check on a graphics card..Oh ok i cant play need for speed for 10 hours coz i have less ram with u and i have to restart...

 

ur wrong .. can you max out GTA4 with only 512mb ? NO ! so what you saying doesn't make sense ! and you play games 10hrs running ? i don't believe that .. if it's true .. seriously get a gf

 

hi
stupid question:
GT725-087UK
Core2Duo P9500 2.53 (3133.6Mhz)
ATI HD4850 512mb
500Gb & 1TB Buffalo
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
Kingston HyperX 2x2 800mhz (494.8Mhz)
Logitech G13 Advanced Gameboard (in the post)
Enermax 17" Black Aeolus Cooler 25cm Fan with 5 Blue
how ur managed to have 2 hdd (maybe one is external) and how ur external cooling pad works?

Thx
P.S.: Mine is GT725Q in test this is how appears german board Windows 7 RC1 64 2x2 Gb DDR2 Mobility Radeon HD4850 512 Mb DDR3 cooler master cooling pad but without effect. Im thinking on secondary hdd.

 

hi , welcome on board ! yes it's an external one but remains plugged in most of the time so ... i took all the grill underneath my notebook yesterday as it didn't seems that effective as the fan is only 850rpm , idle without cooler gpu 45 , idle with cooler gpu 42 , cpu remains at 30-31 with or without at idle ... anyway have a look at this one NZXT Cryo LX Notebook Cooler ..but most cooler seems to be overpriced and ineffective so don't waste your money

 

@ Dead, what, no SSD for Turbo Memory?:wink:

 

it's an external hdd not turbo mem an ssd's are overpriced

 

f are these temps??? my lap has 53 cpu and 53 gpu temp all time P but anw works great!
if i can play call of duty modern warfare 2 with full graphics i dont care bout gta PppP

 

ur a lost case

 

Yep

altho with the hack it is supposedely using about 800mb of vram.. but thats just cos the gta 4 mem limit over estimates.

 

Frame rates do suffer when you overcommit memory using the -norestrictions command line, but the power of the 4850 can still crank out playable rates. The comparison I ran v/s a GTX 260m hinted at this since the cards were even in almost every game until the GTA4 test. Personally, I didn't use -norestrictions while playing through since medium textures, no shadows, and very high everything else looked beautiful to me and gave me acceptable frame rates.

These forums actually have an ignore feature... you know... just in case you care... I found that out during lenarasss's first stint on NBR

 

i dont know what mbr is but i really what to know how to hack my vram from 512 to 800..pls pls pls and why am lost case??? coz the best game is cod mw2 ???? i love it!!!! i dont play other games...and little shift

 

NBR is notebook review mate.

My Win7 upgrade came tonight!!! So I say good riddance to you Vista >|

 

Been a while since I been on here, just had a quick question for you guys;

Anyone have any issues hooking up a projector via VGA to their 212US? I connected it and it's supposed to be FN+F2 to switch views to allow the projector to project what's on the computer but it just didn't work. Tried every trick in the book, FN+F5,F6,F7, rebooted w/ projector on first, etc.

Just curious if anyone else had any problems and how you guys resolved it or how you've personally done a projector via VGA. Thanks

 

Well, I haven't tried hooking up a projector myself, but I did a little research and found these two sites that should help sort out your problem.

Hey everyone first post... I can not seem to get my gt725 up to speed! I bought it because I like to play games and I travel a lot. When I first got it I played Counter-strike 1.6 in leagues and all that junk and it was easy to take to lans... it also ran perfectly. I could run Counter Strike Source flawless... Cod 4 and 5 Rand really good also. I remember having to wipe the hard drive of everything for some reason can not really remember why. I just got home have 3 months and I was wanting to play some counter strike just for fun. Well I can not even stick 100 frames with crappy settings!! Call of duty 4 will barely run. I did a few things I could think of like down load a anti virus and CCleaner. No luck... I downloaded one of those driver updater programs and it says I have a million drivers out of date or bad or whatever but it was like 30 bucks to register and I know all the drivers that I probly need are out there somewhere.. the msi driver site seems to be down. I do have a disk and I believe I have installed all the drivers from that.. . I don't REALLY want to reformat this thing at all. I guess the last time I did that I made 3 partitions for what ever reason. Sorry for the long post but I really can't seem to fix this thing! The Ati site doesnt have drivers for the hd4850... or I am blind as a bat!? any help thoughts suggestions I would appreciate thanks a lot!

 

like neil said the framerates do suffer if you overcommit so ... the answer should be no

the 2nd stint is on me can be very hard to go into blind mode sometimes , guess that i need to try harder

 

i would recommend a clean install and use this http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php to mod the ATI driver (4800 series) or just use the one from msi website

 

well the MSI site is definately back up.

As said already, just download all the latest drivers first, and then get the latest ATI driver version and mod use mobility modder:

http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php. Do make sure you follow all the instructions properly, and make sure you can install the Catalyst Control Centre.

Sounds like from your mail you kinda go ploughing ahead a bit and get in a real rush. It's worth taking your time, cos tuned up nicely this notebook is awesome

 

Coudn't be more true

 

Hey.

I got a problem. I made my P1 button open a program. Now I deleted that particular program, and want to make the P1 Button open another one. How am I gonna do that? When I press the P1 Button it always just says error. Help!

 

in the taskbar, there should be a little grey eye icon (it is the System Control Manager). right click on it, select user defined key.. voila you can change the program.

I want to know what does the gpu fail. Problems cause just from temperature?
Second question. I am trying to setup full graphics on Call of duty MW2 and there is an option called "Sync every frame" YES-NO can you please what that option does?
Please are major questions.
thanks in advance

 

OMG.. you actually paid for it???

*passes out with shock*

Hehee

 

With vertical sync on your frames per second is capped at your monitors refresh rate. Also, the full frame is rendered completely before it is sent to the screen, this eliminates screen tearing.
There is a mathmatical issue that comes into play if the game your are playnig or your video card cannot produce over 60 fps all the time. In other words, if your video card can only produce 58fps, with v-sync on you will only actually get 45 actual fps. This has to do with the prerender frames.

 

@ len GPU overheating isn't the only cause for failure, but one of the main ones. BTW you might want to check out these ATI forums. The first one is for overclockers!

BTW...
iBUYPOWER Gamer Supreme 930i Intel Core i7 860 - 8GB DDR3 - 1TB HD - ATI Radeon HD 5850 - Windows 7 64
????????????????????
m8 ur definitely a gamer!!! what i want to built but not just with 1 ATI ))

 

Yeah that is my gaming desktop. Yes it is safe to oc 10mhz on each.

 

i want that NVIDIA screen with 3D glasses.it will be soo amazing playing MW2 with that ((
what screen u sue for ur buypower?

 

I just bought a brand new Acer H213H from newegg, its 21.5 inches and the resolution is 1920 x 1080 16.9. Its so awesome. The colors are very vivid and the picture is one of the best I have seen.

 

-->Vulnavia i dont care if i can reduce the life of my gfx card from 10yrs to 9 i just want to play MW2 with definitely FULL graphics..What should i do?<--

Um, get a life? Seriously, frying your gpu due to overheating is something that could casue it to fail at any time, and potentially take the entire system with it.

This may come as a shocker, but I'm not a gamer.

 

For starters overclocking 10mhz on each will not shorten the lifespan of the card as long as its not being overheated. Just make sure you watch the temps. I personally use to overclock every game I played without any issues.

 

and overclocking 10mhz won't make any noticeable difference in games or general temp , simply a waste of time in my opinion

 

am checking temp of gpu and its 74 Celsius while i play game.without 10mhz oc i had same temps.someone said that with 1920x1200 res doesnt worth to have AA.maybe lambo is that ture??

 

To be honest at 1920 x 1200 you dont need AA, it wont make a diffrence in my opinion. I would only recommend overclocking while gaming if you have a cooler.

 

i have a cooler master cooler but i think it doesnt make any different .i have max gpu temp at 74.i will switch cooler off and check out.what res. u recommend btw? MW2 its AWESOME!!
oh fu....gpu after 10 mins went to 81+... i thought that cooler i bought was crap://
.i was planning to remove that black cover from laptop but i will lost warranty.without with and cooler to maximum i can drop lot temp am pretty sure.maybe in 1 year playing mw3 PpPPP goodnight i have science test tomorrow..circuits i love it!byee

 

With a sig like that you could have fooled me

 

Just leave the AA off, games look there best at native resolution so keep it at 1920 x 1200, if you go lower then thats where AA comes into play. Leave your cooler on and dont overclock it. You will be fine.

 

I agree. I just got a 1920 x 1200 screen for my laptop and I love it. I don't really get the obsession with AA. At that resolution, I cant tell when its off or on.

 

@lenarass, its simple, just overclock your graphics card (if you really need to) when you play the game and leave it. The gpu should underclock automatically (to around 300/300) when you're not using it, so assuming you are not gaming 24/7, i dont see too much of a problem with overclocking say to 530/870.

yea it underclock automatically to 300/300 .i have clock on 510/860 and i play mw2 perfect

Guys,

Just a quick question. I'd like to upgrade HDD in my GT725; I believe that the answer is obvious but I'd rather have it confirmed before placing order.

Would Intel SSD X25-M 34 nm 80GB fit into my lappy? Thanks a lot for answers!

 

Everything that's 2.5" will fit most notebook but not 3.5" . saying that , the X-25 should work fine

 

.....
can i put more gbs in "Shared System memmory"
?
