What is the model number of the FHD 120hz 5ms 94% ntsc screen?

 

Hi all,

is anyone tried to turn on the ulmb(ultra low motion blur) function on this laptop ? I'm just wondering, and if you did which software did you use for it ?

 

I don't think it supports that. On the NVidia control panel it just gives me G-SYNC and Fixed Refresh, no ULMB.

To be honest I haven't noticed any ghosting at all because the response time is pretty quick. On IPS screens with lower response times it may be beneficial but that seems more of a case by case basis.

 

well i made my research, and if you are using nvidia inspector, you will find much more options , like the ulmb as well. you would be surprised how many more things they are hiding from us... so i think it is possible just wanna make sure someone else also did his research in this subject like me.

 

According to HWinfo its a Chi Mei CMN1747

 

Coollab on MSI? You know that guys from MSI Service are washed in hot water and doesn't like such thermal compounds (warranty = R.I.P. if the see it). Szaleństwo.

Temps are great - 11/10
What about GPU?

 

Thank you!

 

No more benchmarks? Will the 6820hk run locked at 4.2ghz without throttling? I would like to see someone run firestrike at 4ghz if possible and share results and temps.

Knajt,

Gdy coś się spierdoli to usunę coollaba, bo już to robiłem i wtedy dopiero wyślę.

GPU max i have seen is 70, and RPMs are max 2400, it's quite like idle .

GTEVO, yep, this CPU can work with 4.2Ghz as well without trottling . I am using 4.1Ghz becouse i like quiet.

 

Can you post up a result from firestrike 1080p?

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/15122581 , it's default.

 

Thanks but I should have been more clear. Great score for a 1070 but I need a 1080 to display the score at 4.2ghz if possible.

U want score with GTX 1080 and cpu at 4.2Ghz?

 

Yes please.

Has anyone tried to make a playable settings in hora horizon 3?

I have msi gt73vr 6rf titan pro 201 with gtx 1080 using CPU on 4ghz and overlooked gpu +100core +200mem

I have to play with the settings to get 60-70fps in 1080p ... I think the optimization is terrible in this game..

 

I agree, my son spent a hundred bucks on it and he is running it at med with a 980 overclocked and the utilization is no where close to 100%

 

MSI GT73VR Titan Pro Review: A Beautiful Beast
September 28, 2016 by Michael Wall
http://www.notebookreview.com/notebookreview/msi-gt73vr-titan-pro-review-beautiful-beast/

 

I've read this entire thread, thanks for all the good information. I've been going back and forth considering different laptops, and was really holding out for Alienware, but I don't think they are going to deliver a 1080p, 120Hz display for their 17" laptop.

So my question is this: has it pretty much been decided that the 120Hz screen on the MSI GT73VR Titan Pro-202 is indeed GSync compatible, from wherever you buy it? I live in the US, and I can buy it locally from Frys, or I can order online from Amazon, Newegg, or order from one of the resellers like Gentech. I am happy with the stock 512GB SSD and 32GB of RAM, so I had not planned on using a reseller for any sort of upgrades.

Thank you!

 

I have same question as @ noodles-the-cat but I want to buy from UK, anybody who bought this modal GT73VR Titan Pro 202 (in UK labeled as MSI GT73VR 6RF Titan Pro -035UK) can confirm that 120Hz screen is G-Sync Compatible and what is the intel mobile chipset model?

Note: I emailed couple of re-sellers in UK and they all said "They have NO idea of exact specification".

What I asked was;

Is Screen 120Hz (5ms referesh rate) support G-sync?
Is the Mobile intel chipset model CM236 or HM176?

 

As far as I'm aware all the 1080p models have a 120hz screen and supports G-SYNC.

The chipset is the CM236 I think but I will double check when I get home.

 

Thanks, that seemed to be the consensus earlier in the thread (from like a month ago) if I was following all the posts correctly, but I thought I'd check since some time has passed and a lot more people have probably purchased this model.

 

Well, MSI Spain told me that the 1080p version they sell is NOT 120hz and G-sync. So there's that...
I guess it depends on the country.

I ended with a Asus G752VS because I could not source a GT73VR with the correct keyboard for my country.

 

I find that very hard to believe. There's no reason for MSI to ship two very different versions of the same laptop for different countries.

MSI Spain's website even says that its 120hz. More than likely, as is common with all reps, they have no clue about the product they are selling aside from its 17" and good for gaming! They're not paid enough to give a crap about anything else.

But I hope you enjoy the G752VS! It was one I was looking into but none of Asus' 17" laptops come with a 1080 and 18" is too big for me so I went with MSI.

 

Hello, I currently plan to buy this laptop (MSI GT73VR Titan-017).
I have a few questions hoping someone can enlighten me.

1) I prefer windows 7 over 10. So if I clean install it, will the drivers from MSI website (win10 64bit)
work on windows 7 64bit?

2) or if the drivers won't be compatible, will I lose a lot of functionality for the laptop?

 

Anyone know exactly what panel is in the 120hz MSI GT73VR?

 

Msi Spain doesn't know what they're selling. I have call them a few times and they always have different answers. Trust the seller. They don't sell any gt73vr without 120hz. I have just ordered mine.

It is a TN panel. It has been answered before. But it is a very good TN panel with improved viewing angles.

 

Don't believe the word of MSI Spain. They have no idea at all.
They also told me GT72VR has no g-sync and 60hz and the display is GSync and 75hz.

 

I disagree with you. couple of differences I found so far between GT73VR Titan Pro 202 model in USA and UK

In USA
1. Re-sellers can upgrade the laptop and take care of warranty for you
2. 17.3" 1920x1080 120Hz 5ms is G-sync supported (at-least GenTech clearly mentioned on their website as 17.3" 1920x1080 PLS @120Hz 5ms, 94% NTSC, G-Sync)
3. Laptop has 2 sticks(16GB each) and total 32GB 2400mhz RAM
4. 1 PCI Gen3x4 SSD size 512GB

so you have room to upgrade RAM & SSD

In UK
1. Re-sellers will not upgrade the laptop and if you break the warranty seal you will lose the warranty claim (at-least that's what re-sellers are saying)
2. 17.3" FHD 1920x1080 Screen 120Hz 5ms is not G-sync supported (one of the re-seller confirms it along with statement that nvidia control panel has G-sync option enabled)
3. Laptop has 4 sticks (8GB each) and total 32 GB 2133mhz RAM
4. 2 PCI Gen3x4 SSD size 256GB each, Total 512GB

so if you are buying from UK, keep in mind you don't have room to upgrade RAM & SSD drives and you must have to confirm about warranty if you plan to replacing RAM & SSD with better one.

Also there is a confusion about intel mobile chipset, in USA CM236 but in UK I checked re-seller website stating HM176 and when I tried to confirm is it really HM176, they stated "We don't know."

 

Well, I also asked a shop in Spain and they also garanteed that the 1080p version of the gt73vr they have is not g-sync.

Maybe it is and both MSI and the store are incorrect, but I choose not to buy it.

 

The most confusing detail about GT73VR 6RF Titan Pro with GTX 1080 model is about it's screen and most frequent question asked by user on different forums and to re-sellers across the globe is this laptop or laptop screen support G-Sync?

Disclaimer: I'm not a reviewer, have no affiliation in anyway with MSI or any re-seller specially with GenTechPc, following post is totally based on research and other user's experiences and you have the right to correct me or can totally disagree with me. I don't own GT73VR Titan Pro yet.

It's time to answer the most asked questions and solve the confusion; (will try my level best to make this post useful)

1. Is GT73VR Titan Pro support G-Sync? Yes
G-Sync is nvidia card Technology Feature and GTX10 series card has it by default so no need to check with re-sellers, All MSI laptops equipped with GTX10 series card has G-Sync Feature. Check nvidia website for specification detail. MSI cannot remove this feature from nvidia card.

2. My GT73VR Titan Pro has G-sync enabled, will it support laptop display or external display? Yes & No
Yes if the screen (laptop display or external displays) have G-Sync hardware support but No if screen (laptop display or external displays) doesn't has G-Sync hardware support, then enabling or disabling the G-Sync option in nvidia control panel will not effect anything because there is no hardware support in screens.

3. My GT73VR Titan Pro has 120Hz @5ms Screen, will it support G-Sync? Yes

4. Is GT73VR Titan Pro Screen support G-Sync? Yes & No
Now before answering about G-Sync Screen Support, let's check MSI GT73VR Titan Pro Screen specification.

On MSI website: 17.3" FHD (1920x1080), IPS-Level, 17.3" UHD (3840x2160), IPS-Level, 17.3" FHD (1920x1080), 120Hz, 5ms, Wide-View
On different Resellers website in USA & UK: 17.3" FHD 120Hz 5ms Screen 1920x1080 (16:9) ----or---- 17.3" FHD, Anti-Glare Wide View Angle 120Hz 5ms 94%NTSC 1920x1080 (16:9)
On GenTechPc website: 17.3" PLS @120Hz 5ms, 94% NTSC, LED Anti-Glare, G-Sync 1920x1080 (16:9)

So basically there are 2 types of screen
1. 17.3" FHD Anti-Glare IPS-Level Screen 1920x1080 (16:9)
2. 17.3" FHD 120Hz 5ms Screen 1920x1080 (16:9) ----or---- 17.3" FHD, Anti-Glare Wide View Angle 120Hz 5ms 94%NTSC 1920x1080 (16:9)

On MSI website, right side laptop specification they mentioned 17.3" FHD, Anti-Glare IPS-Level Wide View Angle and in detail specification tab they mentioned 17.3" FHD, Anti-Glare Wide View Angle 120Hz 5ms 94%NTSC, MSI updated specification last month on their website and they forget to mention optional, before the update it was 17.3" FHD, Anti-Glare IPS-Level Wide View Angle(optional).
Now lets go to overview tab, scroll down to 120hz and wide view and read the information where MSI also mentioned * This feature may vary by configuration. now scroll down more to Features there you can see the screen logo saying "IPS level Panel" also * Some features may vary by configuration. and scroll down little more and you will find a Note: Specifications may differ depending on your location, and we reserve the right to change without notice. Please check with your local dealers for detailed specifications.

Above information clears that not all optional features available in all regions, so buying this laptop assuming or based on other users experience that you will get the G-Sync hardware supported screen is not guaranteed.

Now which screen out of 2 support G-Sync. GenTechPc (5 star to you guys, amazing video review and crystal clear specification on MSI GT73VR Titan Pro product page) says the screen is 17.3" PLS @120Hz 5ms, 94% NTSC, LED Anti-Glare, G-Sync 1920x1080 (16:9) and MSI says the one of the screen is IPS-Level. So what is PLS mentioned by GenTechPc, I searched and found this article Panel Technologies which clears every thing, go the IPS - In Plane Switching topic and you will find the reference of PLS which is basically IPS level display, which MSI forget to clear or mention and GenTechpc cleared it.

That's all so if you want to buy MSI GT73VR Titan Pro with G-Sync hardware Laptop Screen support, you have to buy it with 120Hz @5ms IPS-Level Display Screen otherwise you will end up with laptop screen which does has 1080p support, wide view angle, matte display, anti glare but not G-Sync Internal (display) Screen Support.

 

Are they claiming that the Gsync is enabled in the Nvidia control panel but there is no Gsync?

 

MSI not claiming anywhere on their page anything about G-Sync Support, it's totally nvidia hardware based feature and all GTX10 series cards has it by default, you can check it on nvidia website, if it's not enabled, update the driver it will be enabled, this I can tell you for sure that I check with USA and UK re-seller they all claimed that laptop is G-sync supported but laptop screen is not and if you connect external display which has G-sync hardware support will work for sure. following is a reply of one of re-seller

Thank you for your webnote.
I'm afraid this model does not have a G-Sync display. However the GPU does, and you should be able to use G-Sync monitors via the mini-displayport connector.

 

It's been confirmed multiple times, that the internal 120Hz display supports G-Sync.

 

120Hz is TFT screen feature and has nothing to do with G-Sync and not necessary that 120Hz screen must has G-Sync Support. if you read the post again both type of screen support 120Hz and G-Snyc option is nvidia GTX10 series card feature not screen feature and MSI offered 2 types of screen and re-sellers does confirm that some laptops internal display doesn't support G-sync but does support 120hz

 

I haven't seen any proof, that there are different screens. Show me a hardware ID, that isn't the Chi Mei display, that's the one Gentech has, and the one Notebook Check reviewed.

 

. The post above mentioned that some screens would have the option for Gsync enabled but would not really have Gsync. I went ahead and performed a test to see if Gsync is working. Someone please chime in if this isn't proof of Gsync.

According to HW monitor I have the Chi Mei 1747
http://forum.notebookreview.com/attachments/hwreport-jpg.138917/

I went ahead and disabled Gsync in the Nvidia control panel and ran BF4, the FPS in game was around 160. I went ahead and enabled Gsync and tried it again and the fps stayed at a solid 120, which matches the refresh rate. Isn't this Gsync working as it should?

Edit: Here is the model number from my support page.
GT73VR 6RE(Titan)-017US-BB7682K16G1T0DX10MH
Model
9S7-17A111-017

 

read following post on page 35, user claims that after hardware test the panel is TN
http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/the-msi-gt73vr-series.794968/page-35#post-10344242

and read this http://www.tnpanel.com/tn-vs-ips-va/

you will find the difference, no need of hardware id to prove.

 

Not talking about GT73VR 6RE with GTX1070, the post was about GT73VR 6RF with GTX 1080, GT73VR 6RE & GT73VR 6RF are two different models

 

6RF has only other GPU... Rest is same.

 

Where you're mistaken, is in thinking that there are displays that aren't TN. There is only one screen, and it's a TN panel.

Of course there's a need for hardware IDs, because if they all have the same ID..... fill in the blank.

 

I'm not mistaken by thinking that TN & IPS are same level and type of display.

All the facts were their in the post, the very biggest fact is that MSI product page has no where mention anything about G-Sync Support of GT73VR Titan Pro Model and they clearly stated on multiple places that the configuration will vary to modals and region and I can even name 2 re-sellers from USA who said "No the Display is not IPS (where MSI said it's IPS Level) and No it's doesn't support G-Sync" and on other hand can name a re-seller in USA who said that "Yes the display is IPS level and Yes it does support G-Sync" but don't need to drag them in it, here is fill in the blank.

Of course there's a need for hardware IDs, because if they all have the same ID..... get them and prove me wrong.

 

YOU are the one claiming there is a 120Hz screen being used in the GT73 that isn't the Chi Mei TN panel, therefore it is up to YOU to provide the evidence. Everyone who's checked the ID has reported back with the same Chi Mei panel. That is my evidence.

If there was a 120Hz IPS/PLS/AHVA display out here, Clevo, MSI, Alienware, and Aorus would be using it. Everyone of them has a TN panel.

 

There was a lot of chatter about the panels being Gsync or not before I pulled the trigger and even though none of the documentation stated Gsync as a spec, the one I purchased from newegg shipped with Gsync enabled. At this point I have not seen a post where someone who actually has a GT73 120Hz panel that doesn't have Gsync, regardless of the model. That's not to say it's not possible, it just doesn't seem to be a reality. I also don't think you can enable it in Nvida control panel if the panel isn't Gsync capable.

 

I have ordered in Spain. I will have it with me around October 12. The only thing that worries me is if the screen is 60 or 75hz fhd display instead of the 120hz...

 

It will be interesting to see how you like it, please post your experience.

 

I've edited my post. What I've meant is that I just hope I get a 120hz display. I think that for 2600€ it should have it...

 

Be sure to get the model number with HWinfo.

 

Hi all,

Can anyone confirm what kind of a software using for overlocking the cpu and the gpu, and kindly share the settings as well ?
And some performance results also would be super in forza horizon 3.... i have a MSI GT73VR 6rf titan pro 201, looking for share overlocking settings and experiences here.

 

That was the one that msi reps told me that doesnt has 120hz and g-sync in the msi spanish forums.

I hope they are wrong! Good luck!
