***The Official MSI GT80 Titan Owner's Lounge***

Inside the Fallout4Prefs.ini file normally located under "C:\Users\YourAccountName\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\" I manually set the resolution by editing the params (iSize W, iSize H) because the highest available is 1920x1080 along with changing the iPresentInterval=0 which cleaned up all the frame rate problems.

To get SLI running you simply use Nvidia Inspector and copy the SLI bits from the Fallout 3 into Fallout 4. Next inside the "Nvidia Control Panel" on the "Manage 3D Settings" and the "Program Settings" Tab add or select the game Fallout 4 and set "SLI Rendering Mode" to Force alternate frame rendering 2.

Fire up your game and get through the first dreadful 10 min and then start having fun. Enjoy

 

I usually use an external curved 21x9 monitor when at home. If you haven't ever tried one I highly recommend it.

3 weeks sounds pretty steep but I think you had quite a bit of detail on your order so I can't really comment on that.

 

It's the slot under the 2 PCIe slot that was removed. MSI put the very thick thermal pad for PCIe SSDs which completely blocked the access of the M.2 slot under it, therefore, they simply just remove the slot.

 

I know this may be slightly off topic but has anyone had a chance to test Black Desert on the GT80(s)? I'm sure it will push a high FPS on max settings at 1080 and 4k but I just wanted a confirm some numbers. My job has most of the bench-marking sites and gamer sites blocked so I cant really have fun here at work with my research. Who knew fortune 500 companies acutely expect you to work while you are here .

 

??? So they just stuck a thermal pad on it? Is it hooked into the heatsinks? How is it supposed to vent?

 

What job do u have?

 

Give me a moment let me take a picture.

 

I work for a major investment firm as operation's lead and apprentice analysis.

 

The GT80 only has a 1k display, besides someday the Ultra Texture mods will come... it's only a matter of time

 

Is the pad removeable? Did MSI remove the M.2 connector too?

From the earliest video on the new GT80S it looked like 2 M.2 slots were blank, so it's good to hear there are actually 3 slots

Will the first 2 PCIE slots also support SATA M.2 SSD's?

 

and you can hook it up to dual 4k or possibly even tripple 4k! Like the gigantic 60" 3d 4k tv in my living room I plan to use as much as possible (especially for when friends come over to play mortal kombat X and Crysis 3) Too bad most PC games not have split screen multiplayers

 

Pictures would be Great!

 

Organize a LAN party at your house, GT80S's, gigabit ethernet and big screens

 

I hate to break it to you my friend, but if that TV is using only HDMI 2.0, you will be stuck at 30fps. I am patiently awaiting a cable that can transform 1.2 mini displayport to 2.0 HDMI, and while there are promising chips announced, nothing on the market can do it yet. You can play some games at 30hz though, if you don't mind the framerate

 

probably not stuck at 30 fps its brand new sony bravia... and if it was, there is probably way to use two cables as it is a smart tv and push it at 60 fps or higher...

http://www.community.sony.com/t5/4K-Ultra-HD-TV/Sony-XBR55X850A-4K-60fps-through-PC/m-p/274905

 

also there is going to be new hdmi ports on the new 80s right? and there is going to be usb c which by itself can power 2 4k displays

 

*pats on your back* live happy, enjoy time as it is

And patiently wait for next year, hoping someone makes a proper cable Trust me, you are out of luck haha Using dual cables is something the monitor itself has to support, so if it does, you might have luck. But TVs generally don't, it's something monitors do.

You can always use direct HDMI cable, and the GPU will try chromasubsampling rendering at lower image quality to support 60fps over lower bandwidth. If it works, you can certainly enjoy higher fps. Since it is a TV, you are probably out of luck.

Nontheless, some games run decently enough at 30fps and you can still play them

If only MSI would have used HDMI 2.0 over the port instead of 1.4

 

In fact it can take 120 hz input

The Sony X850C 4k TV has good overall picture quality, except when viewed at an ...3D is good, but there is a very slight amount of crosstalk. ... This TV is also able to accept and display a 120 hz input, which not too many TVs can do. There are TVs with less blur and lower input lag, but PC gamers in particular should ...

The superport caps at 10Gbps right? 4K at 60fps needs 18Gbps. Maybe they can make a cable, but we will see.

I am afraid that the problem is that you don't have a way to transmit the data. The TV can take it, it's not the TV with the issue, but the ports available. You don't have a way to transmit HDMI2.0 or 2.2 speeds out of the titan. Only the display ports can power up 4K at more than 60hz, but there is no cable for displayport to HDMI 2.0 or upwards. You would need the TV to natively support displayport.

My TV is also 4K 3D and has basically the same specs, although mine is LG. We are out of luck for 4K at 60fps except with chromasubsampling which in my case, has a 50% chance of working properly (some games cause issues).

 

The 2 x 980 has HDMI v1.4, so all models...
http://ca.msi.com/product/notebook/GT80S-6QF-074US-Titan-SLI.html#hero-specification

 

They removed the M.2 connector, so now it's only 2 PCIe + 1 M.2:

 

That is a good layout now for helping to dissipate heat, no more overlapping M.2 SSD's

Strangely, MSI got the embossed labeling on those M.2 ports wrong. It says mSATA SSD in 2 places...I thought it might be left over from the previous series, but my GT80 SLI-263 only says SSD next to the Icons.

It looks like the left bay has the 2 PCIE x4 SSD's, and the right M.2 Bay is likely SATA only.

Any word on if 2 M.2 slots are dual SATA/PCIE x4? What about the 2.5" bay? hwinfo64 would show what interface it has, and what SATA II/III speed it connects to that particular HDD.

 

http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/...s-usb-compatibility-at-full-thunderbolt-speed

Superport could be thunderbolt 3... 40 gb/s

 

Which then returns to my initial point, we will be patiently waiting for a cable to correctly do it. Display port goes well beyond HDMI2.0 but there is no cable yet. It's just a matter of time

 

display port is only 1.2 not 1.4

 

Yeah I laughed when I saw mSATA SSD and then I was like: OK fine I get the point, it's for small SSDs not 2.5".

I'll test hwinfo64 tonight.

Yes. Hdmi in the titan is 1.4. Display port is 1.2. Displayport 1.2 can drive beyond 4k60hz, hdmi 1.4 cant.

Funny how PC took over thunderbolt after it was only used by Apple and had become a depreciated port (almost no support for thunderbolt or thunderbolt 2.0) because USB 3.0 trumped thunderbolt v1 and usb type c or 3.1 trumps thunderbolt 2 while 3.0 is a proprietary port and is backwards compatible and thunderbolt 1 and 2 are not and are not widely available (mostly on apple devices only). Thunderbolt type 3 will be backwards compatible with usb type c (just released) and will be pioneered by intel.

 

Battlefront, at least, went into production before disney took over the franchise!

Do you guys think it will be possible to upgrade gt80s 980m sli with Pascal when it is released?

 

As long as you can get a hold of the parts in theory yes. MSI promised to support for the next two gpu upgrades anyways.

oh lol didn't know that... Well I hope they kept it out of disney's grasp... They really need to add a few more things to it like better ragdoll and a little blood/gore - without it it looks too fake... Also hoping they add in a campaign later

 

does anyone know where I might be able to get a second power adapter so i can keep one at home and one in the backpack? XoticPC offers a powerbrick but i'm not trusting as it says 230 Watt and costs less than what I have found online (which looks way overpriced...)

http://www.laptopartstore.com/clevo...an-sli-adapter-charger-free-cord-p-98981.html

 

Woohoo! Thanks man!
I guess you are running at 60fps always, no matter where u are in the world or how much action.
Am I right?

 

Ask them to remove the 230w from your order, and to please add a 330w MSI Power Adapter - they added the wrong one...

 

I listed the 330W power adapter in the notes section... I also sent an email asking them to check up on it but have no reply yet....

 

Did u pre-order battlefront? I am thinking of pre-ordering it...

 

Played the Beta, liked it, but I am going to wait for release reviews, this Battlefront I might get soon after release for fresh online play, but only time will tell.

Spoiler

I don't really feel compelled to do pre-orders's much any more, as many games these days aren't as good at release as they are 6 months later or longer.

I used to be compelled to pre-order/pay for limited special edition games, with cool stuff bundled in. I have a lot of that stuff in boxes, I don't need any more

Recently there are some I pre-ordered from habit, like Just Cause 3, Metal Gear Solid V...

I almost pre-ordered Fallout 4 from habit, but I am working through Fallout Vegas again; I went back to it after FO4 came on the horizon, and after I finish I may need some time off before I feel like playing more --- or I might get enough into FO4 that I buy it right after I finish FoV

If you feel the urge to pre-order anything, do some research on previous issues from that developer / publisher, check out how long the complaints died out on their steam comments, when their first patch(s) came out and then you can get a good idea if it is a good idea to pre-order, or wait.

Many of us here have been gaming a long long time, we have a large game library, so we don't need the pre-order fix as much, and try to tune our purchases for value vs cost. Instead of 10+ pre-orders a year I might do 2 or 3.

You will see many comments like "I'll wait til the Game of the Year Edition (GotY) that includes all the patches and DLC, and then wait for a Steam sale weekend", that's optimal for many games that have a large offline component.

If the game is mostly online play like Battlefront then buy as soon as you can tell it's playable - during the Beta - or just after release.

Some of the IP is locked to Console release for months before it comes out the PC, so I will already have seen and played it, so I won't be interested in hitting it so hard at PC release as I will be getting it polished and cheap down the road

 

Link to e-tailer for those interested

Well out of my budget

 

So far yes at higher res than 1920x1080.

Read the second sentence , and that's all folks. MSI could have done better than that.

A bit more detail of what we already figured here.

With these articles showing up I would say at anytime we should see the vendors post real prices. All in all between everything being released its going to be a good holiday.

 

probably over $5k which is still too much

 

Has anyone heard anything or do you guys think we will see the GT80s with a pair of 970s in SLI for a cheaper price?

 

As i know, the 970 desktop don't exist, when i check nvidia driver in their siteweb, there is the 980 desktop but no 970
