Is it not enough to just push frames higher than 60 for a card to utilize a 120hz screen? Like I've seen the 1070 push 60+ fps even at 1440p. Doesn't that mean the 1070 is adequate? And the 1080 just gives you that extra fps boost to buffer the min fps on all your games. Except for 4k. I think you really need a 1080 or sli 1070 to run 4k and keep it above 45 fps. I don't compete and I'm not an fps snob. I just need pleasantly playable. Which 45 fps pretty much gives you, depending on min frame rates.

Running G-sync + V-sync @ 120hz is going to fix the FPS 2x higher, running 2x higher GPU and CPU loads - running a lot hotter, running the fans a lot noisier.
The 1070 can do 4k for most games ok, you turn down the options to fit the power available.
The 1080 really runs a lot hotter, so make sure whatever frame you get has the cooling power, and make sure it does it at a noise level you can tolerate.
A lot of P870DM2/DM3 1080 single / 1080 SLI users are going to wish sooner or later that they didn't need to run fans at 100% to gameThePerfectStorm likes this. -

What temps are others getting? e.g. under Heaven Benchmark? What overclocking do you guys get. I can do +137 GPU, 250 MEM, 4,0GHz CPU.
4,1 CPU crashes my system to reboot -
Any owners have issues with backlight bleed on the GT73?
I browsed through all 60 pages, I think I saw just one bezel-related problem, but maybe I missed something.
My Clevo P651RS-G has it pretty bad, screenshot here:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...s-owners-lounge.795090/page-323#post-10361499
Plus I'm sending it back, since the GPU seems defective.
So considering replacing it with the GT73, the form factor is bigger, but the screen and keyboard seem better. Battery life was horrendous on the Clevo also. -

News coming from msi iberica!
Now the base model (2600€) does not have the i7 6820HK, it now comes with the 6700HQ for the same price! In my opinion this model is not worth anymore for the price. Why have they changed that, do they think that people wont notice? This is just ridiculous. -
They're just asking for losing sales. -
Isnt there anyone who wants to share his overclocking experience with the GT73?

I have a question for you guys.
If you set the keyboard lighting to all white, is it actually all white or does it have random colors in some keys?
Mine has that problem and i dont know if its normal. -
its the same with mine too. Epecially at the sections where the 3 zones meet each other.

Hi guys, I have just joined the ranks of gt73vr owners. Moved on from gt72 to gt72s dragon 4k to this monster.
Quick question - battery - does yours reach 100% when charging? Did you run battery calibration tool out of the box?
Mine only goes up to 93-94% but have not run the tool yet.
Also my warranty sticker was a bit worse for wear but seller assured me warranty will remain intact. That corresponds with my past experience with msi notebook warranty.

There is also a battery calibration tool in Dragon center that may fix it. -
I got a bit of an issue, two days ago I spilled a drink on my keyboard, I would say a few tablespoons made it on the number pad. I was able to shut down and wipe it off quickly and I didn't notice any issues. I used the laptop all day Tuesday and Wednesday Then I noticed that there many keys that don't seem to be lit up when compare to the image SoldierRBT posted. I want to be sure it's the spill or another problem. Has anybody else had problems with uneven lighting? Has anyone spilled anything on the GT73VR keyboard yet? and How hard is it to get to the keyboard?

After 3 years 5 months plugged in 24/7 and battery health at 92.9% I don't consider it a major problem.

Hi!

Did it work before?
Did you press F10 to save and exit the BIOS? -

Do you know if this issue existed before the OS upgrade? -

Yes all colors are dimmer in that spot, it's hard to tell because the light comes from other keys. I'll keep searching for a complete tear down video or post. It's not big enough of an issue for me to pay to fix it at this point so I can be patient.

I want one of these so badly. I hope MSI can help me with a better trade offer.

The key placement on the keyboard is killing me. I don't know if I can buy into that.

Has anyone tried to OC the GTX 1070 using the Turbo mode? I can only get it to +135/+220 stable

What driver are you using that will allow for a valid result? I keep getting an invalid result because of the driver, Ge Force Experience says it's up to date and the MSI website still has the original.

Well I was able to find that the Driver I need is 372.70, The Laptop froze at the end of the install but when I rebooted the new driver was installed. Last night I received my Kill a Watt watt meter and I tested several modes to see what wattage the machine was using. So much of today was spent re learning overclocking procedures. On my last run I used Dragon Center with driver 372.70 and the CPU @ 4100 and GPU +150/+230. I got my highest score yet.

Wattage info:
Idle was about 38W to 49W
Surfing the web is around 54W
Comfort mode with a 5 minute prime95 run was around 118W
Turbo Mode with both Furmark and Prime 95 running was around 216W.
During Firestrike different segments had different power draws. First=part was 203W, Graphics test 1 @ 2 were 196W, the physics test was 115W and the combined was from 211W to 221W
If anyone wants anything tested with my handy dandy watt meter, let me know.JorgeMartinez, SoldierRBT and Atma like this.
