MSI's NEW GX70 3BE (AMD Richland A10 + Radeon HD 8970M)

Fixed it. It was the letter "æ" in the url that got in the way

 

OK,working now.

Did you notice > Trinity APU A10-5750M mistake

The GX60 Hitman with the 5750M that was on sale here in Seoul in the 3rd week of March has been dropping steadily in price of the last 10 days so I'm figuring a GX60 with the 8970M is coming.

 

Nice, let's see what would be the retail on those.

 

Probably pretty similar for obvious reasons.

 

Not much love here

How about this

 

Some benchmarks for GX70 :

 

Its crazy if they were all unlocked how much more I could recommend this machine

 

Yeah, that's true. Long time ago, when there wasn't Extreme versions and so-on, Intel was obviously faster, but AMD had the overclockability on their side. I think that it would be smart if they return to the "roots". Nowadays in the mobile world only top tier Intels can be overclocked in most notebooks. It's time for AMD to step-up its game, as MSI just did, with its entire 2013 line.

@GenTechPC - Neat results, at really fair price I guess

For a limited CPU, those are very nice scores! The GPU score is very nice. It's a nice model if you want to save up some bucks and still game on. The interesting thing with the GX series is that since the GPU is much more powerful than the CPU, it won't matter what settings you use typically. Instead it would be a matter of tweaking CPU intensive settings off games.

That near P5k score is still very respectable for the price of the machine.

 

Glad to see these numbers! I ordered one from GentechPC and Ken Lee and the crew were all great. Laptop was delivered this afternoon put 16gb of ram and a 256gb SSD in it. Almost out of work to give it a try!

Was a little worried about the CPU bottlenecking badly since reviews were pretty scarce but now I am so ready to fire it up and enjoy it!

 

Enjoy it, I'm sure you will

 

Why is the 8970M showing up as 128 bit when they claim its 256 bit?

 

One question, i notice that GX70 didn't come with Cooler Boost that come with GT 70 with haswell processor, and any different with audio quality my area they don't have a set to demo only can see from catalog

 

Mine has a cooler boost button on the top of keyboard in a line of computer specific buttons.

 

Congratulations and thank you for your kind words.

Like Caliaztec said it does have cooler boost, it's actually the re-name of the Turbo Fan feature.

 

Could you guys benchmark BF3 multiplayer on this laptop? I was wondering how it would compare to the GX60 1ac. Also where would be the cheapest place to buy this laptop?

 

Thumb up for android man , I still considering for these 2 model. :laugh:

 

I don't have a youtube account but i will post images soon.On bf3 i get 35-80fps every thing maxed with turbo fan on.

 

question any idea how to unlock that turbo mode? or where i can find it?

 

To the left of the power button you should see a half sun(turns off key board lights) to the left of that is the turbo fan mode

 

Here you have guys a good review on this machine: MSI GX70 Gaming Notebook Review; AMD A10-5750M Tested

 

I heard a friend of mine got it and update the driver to latest beta, now he can play COH2 in Ultra.

 

Can anyone comment on upgradability of the CPU/GPU in this machine?

 

I have a problem with this laptop, when i type the touchpad stops working, which is really annoying while gaming, how can I fix this?

 

I believe it is a setting in the touchpad control panel.

 

I myself would love this feature, especially when typing papers.

 

Hi GX70 Owners,

I'm a fellow GX60 owner (same bottleneck).
A guy called Kenglish's figured out a method to Lock the 5750m at 3.2Ghz+ (good boost!) I've described his method in one picture for you:

View attachment 103912

Enjoy!

 

Sweet, very nice computer.

 

Does this work with stock CPUs? I have a friend with a GX60 and he could really use this boost.

 

Yup It's for stock a10-5750m however I believe the exact same change will also work on a stock a10-4600m as well.
But yes the effect is the same as what people were getting the a10-5750m ES version "overclocked".

 

Hey, so i locked my gx70 to 3.2 ghz its bretty effective i run 3dmark11 in 1080p combined result whitout lock=1824 and locked score=2567 but i have litle problem if i try to restart in some reason my laptop wont shut totally down the power indicator goes from white to oranze and screen stays black and cooling stays on, i have waited for 2 hours but nothing changes, and i shutdown manually from power button and if i start the computer again all the changes in bar-edit are gone and if i shut it down again without editing in bar- edit evrithing it shuts down fine, if i dont restart i just shutdown it works fine, but all bar-edit changes are gone, can anyone help?

 

Hey guys, I am considering purchasing the MSI GX70 3BE ( with the A10-5750M and 8970m).

How much does the laptop suffer due to the CPU, and what sort of frame-rates should i expect on games like Titanfall and other similar "next-gen" titles?

 

Hi. I locked my CPU on 3.2 and now i have problems with laptop. It hangs. I did fresh windows install but it didn't help i can't change CPU back to it's original state. It still shows 3.2 in overdrive.... can someone tell me what's going on ?

 

You will need to reverse the lock method you used.

 

I have used Bar-edit but i just can't get it back to 2500 , it stay on 3200 .
I even did new windows just to get it back but it won't work...
