Any application for CPU oc-ing??

 

Ummmmmm...... I am not sure you fully understood the message within my post. I went through all of his post (both NBR & MSI) to get a feel for the situation. After looking at the chain of events, it became rather apparent that the problems did not rest solely on the shoulders of the reseller.

I was not trying to advocate for either party, but rather attempting to encourage he move forward to resolution..... rather than repeated complaints here in this forum. Here, he is 'preaching-to-the-choir' as WE are not the solution. I felt certain if Justin became involved, this would be helpful in moving him forward.

If shin777 is willing to be cooperative, hopefully an RMA (with Justin's help) will return him to a happier place.

Thanks Justin!

 

I don't think so, this CPU is not overclockable...

The thing about sandy-bridge is that now, a lot of stuff is now directly connected to the CPU, so if you OC the CPU, you end OC'ing other stuff too, and thats not what we want... you may end damaging HDD or RAM...

That said, this is the main reason that now intel sells "K" labeled CPUs, these models has unlocked multiplier, so they can be OC'ed without changing the base clock and without damaging the other components...

And sorry for my bad english hope this explanation is understandable, i had to shrink a lot of important stuff about sandy's architeture

 

that's mean every sandy bridge mobile cpu by intel can't be overclocked??

 

no, they can't, unless intel decides to launch a CPU with unlocked multiplier - but i think it's unlikely, because of the thermal issues OC'ing a CPU can bring

Also, i just remembered, if a laptop comes with a mobile version of Z68 chipset, we may be able to OC the CPU without owning a "K" labeled CPU

 

It's not the cable it was the connector I think.

MSI afterburner wasn't pre-installed but you can download it here:

MSI Afterburner

 

There is ONE Sandy Bridge CPU that can be overclocked, and it is the 2920XM.

Ok I see
Still, have you notified MSI about it?

 

Hello Ken,
I ordered Gt780DXR from Gentech with 90% Gamut display but I see it is not in stock.
Any ETA for 17.3" 16:9 1920X1080 FHD LED backlight , 90% NTSC Color Gamut, Glossy ? Will it arrive at the same time DXR is available from MSI
thanks

 

We started to tape the ribbon cable yesterday and I want to see some feedbacks first before notify MSI.

Hello,

The next shipment for 90% color Gamaut screen will arrive next Monday and DXR by end of July.

 

Thanks Ken!

I don't believe I missed this one, but I just added it to the lead post of the thread in the 'Downloads' section.

 

GT780DXR..... by end of July? Donald says this is an 'improper expectation' ( here)...... but it sure makes me happier!

Thanks again Ken!

 

Is it possible to change "p1 button" settings?

 

Then why does the 2630QM have this:

Max Turbo Frequency 2.9 GHz when the main is 2.0???

 

Intel's Turbo Boost - it automatically overclock the CPU while running high demanding processes

If the process is single-core only, it OCs only 1 core, if it's a multithread application, then it will OC all cores, of course, all of this in a acceptable thermal range, even this way, the CPU may suffer throttling - and this happens often when the laptop has a bad design

 

LOL so we have one reseller saying September, another one saying mid-late august, and a third saying end of July...

Who is right?

 

Who knows, and anything can happen with these estimates...... but I always consider the source, and who has the most access to Taiwan, LOL!

 

Nobody. December is right

 

NICE!

 

So, when I checked Chinese barebone notebook forum, I found one of Chinese vendor will have barebone version of GT780r by the end of July? According to their information, it will have backlit keyboard, same as GT780r, named MSI 1761. Is that true? Any news from our vendor?

The link of MSI 1761: http://benyouhui.it168.com/thread-1690404-1-1.html

 

Curious, what was the price tag for that?

 

Probably doesn't help much but we are hearing August also from the PM. (R.S.)

 

I paid for GT780R and extra things but Ken agreed to hold my order till DXR is available. The difference in price I will pay once DXR is finally released and more if I decide to upgrade few more things. I hope that sounds straight.
Though I would say Don´t let the Kernel Panic there might be a simple module mismatch.

 

LOL!

While we have your attention today Justin, I wonder if you could share with us..... based on your GT780R sales, what percentage of complaints, and RMA's would you estimate? Donald said, "zero complaints, zero RMA's". He also indicated that the GT780R was currently his leading seller. Do you concur?

Thanks!

 

Zero was accurate when I said it, but since then we have had a few complaints about the keyboard lighting, erratic touchpad and unresponsive keys. However MSI jumped right on those issues and all reported issues have been resolved.

I did not say that the MSI GT780R was our leading seller. That comment was only when compared to one other model.

 

Yep, I should have said 'at the time' in my post, and yes, I believe your comparison was with the G74. Thanks for the correction!

It would still be interesting to read Justin's opinion on this.

 

Be happy to! If i were to put a % on it, it is under 2-3% of our units have had RMA issues/Tech Support and we have sold quite a few of them. (which have been resolved with MSI) The GT780R is a fantastic seller, but not our #1 seller. I don't know what models others are comparing it to, i.e. MSI to ASUS or MSI to MSI etc...? I am comparing to Sager/ASUS/MSI. (which the 780R is ahead of the G74SX, and will make a even larger margin over it when the 570M hits )

EDIT: I see that you are comparing it to the G74SX which is definitely has surpassed sales of this model, around 2 to 1.

 

Thanks Justin! The input is greatly appreciated!

So overall, would you say the issues reported with the GT780R should be of minimal concern (2 to 3%), and that those few having issues, the issues are easily remedied?

Yeah, Donald's comparison was 7 July ( here), and it included the Sager NP8170.

Thanks again!

 

Haiz i don't think i will join you guys , i can't get this rig anymore.My mum just make up her mind not to buy me one...........Haiz i'm feeling very depressed right now, feel wanted to die.If at first i know i can't get it then i won't feel that hurt , but now the thing is i thought i'll have hope of getting my hands on one of it but now it turns out to be just a dream.............

 

Yes most of them are minimal concerns and remedied right away.

 

Finally. X-kom shop updated in their offer new DXR models.

GT683DXR
GT780DXR

GT683R +200 PLN/70 USD = GT683DXR
GT780R +100 PLN /30 USD = GT780DXR

Prices are fantastic. This config costs 5419 PLN/1919 USD.
In US should be circa 300 USD less.
GT683DXR-I002PL i7-2630QM/8GB/1000/DVD-RW/7HP64

So early August is possible.

 

Hey..... not to worry!

I know it may not be too helpful right now, but your life will grow and progress, time will bring more techno advances...... and before you know it, you'll be buying your own super notebook of the future.

Good Luck!

Thanks again Justin!

 

End July, early August..... same timeframe. Works for me!

 

Think no chance for end of July. ETA usually is two-three weeks after pre-order.

 

LOL! What did I just say? Works for Me!

So is it your belief Poland will see these before the U.S.?

 

Guys, I realised with the GT780R, the keyboard doesn't really have the anti-ghosting feature. I played Devil May Cry 4 and I couldn't do a simple side roll. =(

I could only execute a side roll with space+k+w, the rest of the directions(with 's','a','d') doesn't work =(

Can anyone help me out?
This makes my gaming experience harder as I can't dodge in Devil May Cry 4.. But no doubt, this rig is perfect! =)

 

I'm getting my laptop in the mail tomorrow

this would be my very first laptop
is there anything i need/should download and install?
like a good driver for the webcam or whatever?

 

Is the 570m better than the 485m? This notebook in my opinion is the best looking gaming notebook currently and only reason I'm not even looking at it is that it only come with the 560m gpu.

 

Congratz mearyoleon..... Welcome to the Party!

First laptop? This should be a fun & interesting experience for you.

Enjoy!

 

Answered your PM!

 

Thank you , that help much

 

No it is not more powerful than 485M. It is somewhat in the "area" of 6970M, probably 5% slower or something, which means it is 10%ish slower than 485M

 

Well you cannot say so until there are benchmarks available. Definitely 570 M has more CUDA cores but they are clocked much less than 560M.
570M vs 560M vs 485M
336 CUDA @1150 MHZ 72GBps(Max) vs 192CUDA @1550MHZ 60MBps(Max) vs 384 @1150 96GBps
AMD 6970 is a different Beast altogether due to architectural differences between Nvidia and ATI.
Look here for further details
http://www.geforce.com/#/Hardware/NotebookGPUs
Go through Anandtech to learn about Nvidia and AMD GPU architectural details.
Personally speaking if you need CUDA, PHYsx or fancy things like that then go for Nvidia else AMD is second to none in its own.

Polish shop (X-kom) confirmed that they will sell DXR models, but not before September/October

Sorry guys. Maybe in US will be faster

 

Hello Midzi,
Yes Europe is always late in getting new gizmos. MSI GT780R is
still not available in most of Europe so if DXR arrives in Sep or Oct is not
a big surprise.
Cheers

 

just got my laptop! I love it!

can anybody help me figure out how to update the drivers and all?
I'm new to all of this so it's kind of scare for me lol

 

If you're keeping it on the windows install that shipped with it, you do not really need any drivers as all of them are pre-installed; however, if you want to update the graphics card driver to the new beta one (275.50), download it here.

 

I think your drivers are good for now, and you might just want to take some time getting to know your new laptop. There is a new 'beta' graphics card driver, which will increase GPU performance...... or perhaps wait till it's final release. The 'beta' download link is here:

Verde 275.50 Beta

A variety of webcam software is readily available, but to take advantage of it's 720P capability, I would suggest software that is HD optimised. A couple that come to mind is YouCam 4.1, found HERE...... and ArcSoft's Web Companion 4, found HERE. Also, I believe Skype has been updated to support HD webcams also.

YouCam 4.1 Video Presentation

Don't be too afraid of messing things up...... when you do, eventually it will be fixed, and you'll LEARN something! (something like..... how 'NOT' to make that mistake again, LOL!)

Have Fun & Enjoy!

 

sure sound like it!

I do must say from talking to a few, MSI owners for the most part are pretty high end. What I mean is that your buying a good laptop yet knowing it doesn't have the most power gpu on the market and is perfectly content with it, which mean you have the money to spent, it must be nice to have that as a luxury.

 

Well Thank You _Cheesy_! I know you have your eye on that Sager with the 6990M, but you are more than welcome to join us for the party here! What do ya say?

 

Well that cause I don't have too much money so I need to buy the right laptop, though I don't mind spending an extra $200 for the MSI GT780DXR if it has a 6990m. I really like the gaming keyboard and Dyaudio and of course dual hard drive which you don't get with Sager.
