***The Official MSI GT83VR Titan SLI Owner's Lounge (NVIDIA GTX-1080's)***

I know, I don't think I'll be using fuji for anything but the vrms.

 

Official MSI GT83VR Titan SLI (NVIDIA GTX-1080's) landing page!

MSI GT83VR TITAN SLI-024 nVidia SLI GTX 1080 - GenTechPC

 

need to see those heatsink, whatever the hell msi did to the rightside of GPU heatsink.. it'll suck if they add a 3rd fan but removed those fins.. gotta see the inside man.

 

$1000 price difference between 1070 sli and 1080 sli..

 

I think what we 'need', is to see how the new cooling design performs.

 

MSI has put up the new Pascal Laptop product pages, specification page up for 1070 SLI models now, but not for the 1080 SLI - no model numbers listed either.

Right off the top, no "K" CPU's in the GT83VR.

The GT83VR has 6920HQ's, and there are 2 models, a 1080 SLI and 1070 SLI

GT83VR TITAN SLI (GEFORCE® GTX 1080 SLI) NO Specification page or models
https://us.msi.com/Laptop/GT83VR-TITAN-SLI-6th-Gen-GTX-1080-SLI.html#hero-overview

The 1080 SLI Support page does have some downloads, including Manual and Utility:
https://us.msi.com/Laptop/support/GT83VR-TITAN-SLI-6th-Gen-GTX-1080-SLI.html#down-manual

The manual shows both 230w and 330w power supplies, and also says "Optional" - I am assuming the 2nd Power adapter is going to be optional and cost extra(?).

There is also a 1070 SLI model

GT83VR TITAN SLI (GEFORCE® GTX 1070 SLI) Models SLI-055 and SLI-023
https://us.msi.com/Laptop/GT83VR-TITAN-SLI-6th-Gen-GTX-1070-SLI.html#hero-overview

Still reading up on the details

 

ugh what the hell.. no 6820hk sigh goodbye to any possibility of overclocking past 4.3ghz lol. unless someone owns a 6920hq and can OC past that point but i doubt it.

also, after seeing heatsink and owing laptop for this long i have a rough idea of how cooling design performs without being tested.. though tested of course is still good reference.

 

Above, I posted the official product landing page for the GT80VR w/SLI 1080's, and also Ken's product page. Ken has listed all of the U.S. SKU's and these show the specifications. In spite of what the manual shows for the PA, it's a 660W (330W x2) unit.....lessor SKU's w/SLI 1070's will have a 460W (230W x2) PA's.



MSI 18.4" Notebooks - GenTech PC

 

Internal pics of the GT83VR? P870DM3 1080 SLi is 3700 from EVOC....

 

I wonder how much I could sell my laptop below for? Need to be rid of this obsolete clunker and get a GT83

 

If I'm reading this correctly the laptop on has a 60hz 1080p display (In addition to the 4K option)? I would have hoped there would be at least a 75hz option or a 120hz option. I run dual 1080's in my desktop and with my 4K display they are just quite not enough for "max" settings to keep the average FPS up to 60hz. On my 1440p Gsync 144hz monitor they absolutely destroy all.

Here is to hoping a higher refresh rate panel shows up in one of these....

 

You mean dual 980 not 1080 right ?

 

Not much, if you title your for sale ad as "Need to be rid of this obsolete clunker and get a GT83"

Let us know how that works out

 

I was referring to my desktop. My desktop has two 1080's in it where I've tried out 4k gaming and 1440p gsync gaming.

 

The options are 4k GSync or 1080p 120hz any ideas which is better to run with 1070 sli or 1080

 

Nice notebook but the price is just out of my league for now. It would be over $7000 CDN. And I see the 1080 G5x prices are also making some waves. The price increase isn't worth the performance increase. Similar to desktop 1070 vs. 1080. $540 vs. 900+.

 

Do you get both power adaptors or you have to purchase the second brick?

 

There is a SKU with the i7-6820HK sir. Disaster aborted.

The 2x 230W adapters come in the box.

 

I thought it was 2x330w adapters similar to what the Asus GX800 is doing? I thought the 17" versions have the 2x230w adapters?

 

There's a pic of the GT83 hsf?


GT73 hsf presented on gentech yt is only for 1x gpu

 

Yep, two SKU's in the U.S.:

MSI GT83VR TITAN SLI-023 nVidia SLI GTX 1070

MSI GT83VR TITAN SLI-055 nVidia SLI GTX 1070

(Just a hunch......but something tells me neither of these will meet ole!!!'s expectation.)

I just covered this (with photo too) for U.S. SKU's on page #6 of this thread.... HERE. For those of other countries, look to your local MSI distributors for more information, as GT83VR SKU configurations, and components may vary.

 

Well, I believe the GT80S-072 still retails around $4200, so if priced for quick sale, you should still return a good amount to pocket. I did this 2 month ago, and soon I'll be enjoying my new GT83VR. It all depends on you, and what you can negotiate, so brush-up on your salesmanship.

120Hz panels were in the plan, but unfortunately, the problem was in availability of such panels in 18.4". Whatever panel is used, it'll still be good. I'll post the panel and specs as soon as I get my hands on the notebook.

 

If it's the same panel as current titan, you can still OC it to 100hz or even more. I am surprised they managed to make the GT83 even thicker, but it is expected due to the cooling system.

 

Hey Ryzeki! You back? How's it going?

Yeah, that is my thought too..... and I think you are right, that is exactly why the GT83 is thicker.

 

I was joking about my gt80s being a clunker lol. Waiting on my PSU adapter and firmware (yeah I know.... I'm 99.9% sure it wont happen). I'm going to cut out some red lining for my rear vents so I feel better

 

I'd say just sell it, it's outdated already with the 1060 outperforming the single M980

 

disassemble the GT83VR and GT73 sli version please

 

the 1060 does not out perform the 980, other way around.

 

1060 is about 16% slower. And with Oc even worse.

 

hhaha u got me there. LOL @hmscott liked your post he knows how i always object

6820hk and 1080 sli combined with 3 fans mmm not bad!. we can probably only get it from a reseller thats willing to do this type of customization without msi's strict rule.

still waiting for a video to see the inside......

 

Ok, but just to let you know, I've made the same observation as hmscott...... which has me wondering if you are just talk'in, the talk, or actually going to walk, the walk. We'll see.... I have my eye on you ole!!!, LOL!

 

lmao, when i buy laptop i always look at cpu side of things, dual graphic is a plus for sure but not necessary. cpu/storage side my #1 reason and then cooling, which is related to cpu cooling. finally amount of space for any sort of custom mod would be nice.

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah..... who ya talking to? Are you just trying to dazzle me with brilliance, or baffle me with bull$h1+?

 

Hmm, there is no option to get a 6820HK with x2 1080 SLi?

 

Not that is coming to the U.S., yet.

 

FYI:

For those interested, I have added content to first post of the thread, and you may want to bookmark this ( HERE) for future reference. This is a work-in-progress, so no need to be concerned with broken links, missing links, or the lack of data..... much more work to do. Also, take the hardware component data with a grain of salt. I'll correct this when I actually get my hands on the notebook.

Enjoy!

 

Hi all. Is it safe to game with the lid closed on an external monitor wth a machine this powerful? I have the GT80 currently and when I do this I noticed the screen tends to warm up a bit from the section above the keyboard but not sure of its okay or not?

 

It's safe. If the system is overheating, then it's not so safe. Monitor your temps, and if you're in the 90s Celsius range, that's too hot.

 

Thank you so much! I usually stay within the mid to high 70's so it should be just fine then. I was just concerned when I noticed the screen itself getting a bit warm on occasion but nothing even remotely what I would call hot though.

So sounds good and thank you for the help!

 

Guys I am now torn between GT73VR and Clevo (Using 1080 Single Configuration with 1080 and 120hZ Display)

 

Question. Is the 3.1 Gen 2 Type C port a true thunderbolt 3 port?

 

probably not.

 

Yup, it's not.

 

Thanks guys.

 

This is one fine laptop, but a 1080p60Hz display doesnt fit at all with this laptop.
It also doesnt have hdmi 2.0
For this kind of laptop it would have been better to install a 17 inch 4k monitor. or a 17 inch 1080p120hz monitor. but the 1080p60hz doesnt fit at all.

It it were me i would have choosen a 2560x1440@144Hz with HDR. That would have been the killer rezolution and speed for this conffiguration. Or perhaps a 4k@75hz. THe card would have the proper connections. Otherwise it would have been the perfect gaming laptop.

THe other best bet is the gt73vr with 1070SLI and 120Hz monitor, but you dont get the mechanical keyboard.

Because of the ****ty 18 inch screen im inclined to wait some more. Hopefully something will come up. We need a hgih speed monitor in this laptop, preferebaly 4k120hz, or a 2560x1440@144Hz with HDR, this would be possible with display port 1.4

 

Yeah, MSI keeps waiting 1 generation longer than they should to fit appropriate engineering solutions, at least for a few items.

Power in the GT80S 980 SLI was lacking...CPU cooling needed improvement then...

Now the display options are sorely lacking for a 1080 SLI Flagship laptop....

Asus spent the $ required to get a better 18" 4k screen.

Too bad MSI couldn't source that screen, or commission their own. It should have been #1 on their list, right next to power, cooling, 1080 SLI... etc

Next model

 

Do Asus have a laptop with 18 inch 4k screen ?
Can you fit the 4Tb seagate 2.5 inch hdd in the hdd slots ? its a 15 mm height 2.5 inch drive !

 

Just did my pre order on GenTechPC. My body and mind are ready!! Should be shipping next week sometime so plenty of time to sell my gt80

 

Hi Ken! I know this isn't the most appropiate place but I'd like to contact you to ask you some things about ordering and buying from you. I had some problems with the email you have given and it's a bit hard to get in touch with you because I am from Europe and there is a huge time zone difference. Would you mind chatting with me somehow for 10 minutes please? I couldn't find how to write you a personal message on this site.
