Does anyone here have the complete spec sheet for all of the US SKU this laptop model? There's crapton of variations and I'm trying to find the screen information on them.
@Tanner@XoticPC @pat@XOTICPC @GenTechPC
GT73VR TITAN-003 (6820HK/1080/16GB/128SSD)
GT73VR 6RF Titan Pro-201US (6820HK/1080/64GB/1TB SSD)
They both say that the display is FHD, but which FHD is it?
Thanks in advance.

Can easily fit this laptop and lots of other stuff......hmscott likes this. -
Is that what you were asking? -
What's the refresh rate and response time? Is it the FHD 120hz 5ms that MSi advertises? -

I have searched all over the internet but i have not found an answer to the following question and was hoping this forum can help.
Do you think ill have any problems running a M.2 Sata 850 EVO SSD in the 3rd M.2 Sata only slot, in raid 0 with a 2.5 inch 850 EVO in the 2.5 inch drive bay slot? Some of my concerns are the GT73VR's raid controller doesn't support this or even if i could do it, that it would stress the CPU. I think that having two NVME drives in raid 0 requires some sort of special software or something, would i need that for this to? Is it even practical? -
Notebook Check measured it at 6.8ms. -
Pretty decent then, I don't mind 6.8ms.
Thanks!
Still waiting for the complete spec variation sheet. -
This machine is a beast so far. Temps are unbelievable, performance is excellent as a result... very positive feelings and impressions from the get go.
Except for windows 10, as I had to perform the anniversary update and it felt like forever. Other than that, and uninstalling/tweaking the OS/apps, this has been the best laptop I've ever owned. It even topped off by a mile my #1 fav, the old GX660R. -
Does it use hybrid power? I heard reports that one of the SKUs at least uses hybrid power.

That's outrageous. Having to use hybrid power at stock settings is absurd, especially now that MSI has started using dual PSUs. What GPU(s) and PSU(s) do you have?

Hmm still not convinced this has any hybrid power going on...
Firestrike loops on stock GPU got me a max consumption of 257w using killawatt. This was raised to 263w after overclocking the GPU to +170/200.
With the same OC, playing the witcher 3 fully maxed out without vsync and unlimited fps, consumed a max of 277W.
My battery didn't really dropped from those tests. So maybe we are fine?
Any other ideas how to push this?ALLurGroceries and Atma like this. -
I really don't get why MSI is shipping the 1070 model with the 230W PSU.
I need to acquire the 330W one that ships with the 1080 SKU. -
-
Even MSI.com's GT73VR TITAN-017 page says 230W, which is why I was so sure it came with one.
Is it possible all of the listings are in error?
Yo @GenTechPC can you confirm this for us? -

Does anyone have any experience using ubuntu via virtualbox on this Computer? I tried it and it failed miserably. Actually while installing the OS, the whole Computer almost freezed.. I mean even the mouse cursor started to lag and programs began to crash until I eventually force restarted (via powerbutton) the whole Computer. After restart I got some random error code...

Hi Guys,
I'd been following this thread for sometime before buying my very own MSI laptop over the weekend. So far I am very pleased with it. Mine's a GT73VR 6RF with 1080 and FHD screen.
Today was stress test day and I noticed something odd when using the Turbo mode in Dragon Center. Basically when enabling turbo mode, the CPU core clock increased from 3.17 to 3.97. Fair enough. That makes sense. When running Prime95 and FurMark together (for my stress test), I noticed the CPU core clock drop immediately from 3.97 back to 3.17 again. Is this correct? Unfortunately I do not know enough to understand what is going on here. Have any of you experienced the same kind of behavior with your rigs?
Many thanks,
Wilma. -
I'd say both prime95 and furmark are not really representative of anything. You are better off loading games to testAtma likes this. -

And 330w on my receipt.Last edited: Nov 27, 2016DukeCLR likes this. -
You should contact the re-seller
but there are 2 models of GT73VR, one is with GTX1070 and GTX 1080 and I think GTX 1070 model needs less power then GTX 1080. or may be not. -
FWIW my 1070 came with a 230W adapter. I posted some measurements that I got from a Kilawatt tool earlier in the thread.

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 221Whmscott, ThePerfectStorm, Kevin and 2 others like this. -

Hey guys
Is the minedisplay port on this laptop V1.1 or V1.2 ?
I want to buy a 4k external screen but the HDMI cable can just does the 4K @30 Hrz
I want the 4K@ 60Hrz

Can someone recommend a tool to do a benchmark test of my SSD drive in my gt73vr?
I had one on my desktop but it's in storage(house flooded from hurricane Matthew) and I can't remember the name of that tool -

Just fixed my old Alienware m17x r3 by replacing the graphics card. Noticed the new Alienwares don't support MXM graphics cards anymore!? Even happier with my conversion to MSI as it supports MXM slot. Anyone aware for the possibility of future GPU upgrades?

Although my idle consumption was 25w (literally idle, as in I left the laptop on and went to do other stuff ahaha).
One thing I did notice though, after turning off the machine, I still registered about 0.6 to 1w of power consumption. This might explain the battery drops between days, waking up to 99 or 98% instead of 100%. Might be related to windows?
If your external screen uses only HDMI 2.0, be sure to get an active mini display port to HDMI 2.0 adapter.Atma likes this. -

Speaking strictly theoretically, now that these motherboards have the extra power connector required for Pascal, there shouldn't be anything keeping them from accepting Volta. At worst, HBM2 should only force the need for a new heatsink.Atma likes this. -

PSU has an inefficiency rating that prevents it from doing 0w even if the computer is plugged in. This is normal design and happens in the majority of power supplies (though the power consumed differs).Atma likes this. -
@DukeCLR
Got Reply from Intel, they asked for Drive Detail or Smart Detail Report using Intel SSD ToolBox and Run the Diagnostic Tests. Sent them the report and following is the final reply
Greetings from Intel Customer Support! Thank you for your response. If the diagnostic test was able to complete without any error, then it just means that the SSD is fine. I've checked the report that you've sent and can see correct values in the threshold and normalize value. Also, we cannot guarantee what the results will be when using third party tool as we only use Intel tools for monitoring the status of the SSD. This gives us more accurate information as to what the status of the drive is. Hopefully, this has answered your query. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thank you and have a great day!
Kind regards,
Cedric Intel Customer Support
Ran Diagnostic Quick & Full Test and both are Good.
Peace of mind...... -

1. If it is a HDMI 2.0 port why would MSI not make that a marketing bullet point?
2. If it is not HDMI 2.0..why the hell not...this is supposed to be the latest and greatest from MSI -
Not sure it will fix the issue when with two displays with 2 different type of ports (in my case, HDMI & miniDisplay or ThunderBolt)
Beside that the release note says, it has game ready driver for Watch Dog 2 and optimal experience of
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, Obduction, Titanfall 2
Battlefield 1, Civilization VI, Steep: Open Beta, Tom Clancy’s The Division Survival DLC
along with couple of fixes of minor bug. black screen issues etc etc.
Nothing Major......DukeCLR likes this. -
Which wireless routers are you guys using with your GT73VR?
I have gone from ISP's wireless ap -> Netgear R7000 -> Netgear R7800.
The R7800 supports Beamforming, MU-MIMO and this upgrade has massively improved the speeds/latency I am getting using the wifi. Even going from R7000
