I was so excited when I got a response to that question turns out it wasn’t meant for me LOL

Anyone happy with this laptop? Thinking of getting one

time to wait for the 10 cores laptop.. out in maybe 6-7 months and hope that there is BGA cancer design next time. clevo/msi/AW looking at you. -
Do we know how much wattage the 2070 pulls in these and if the cooling solution is identical to the 2080 model?

We know that the MaxP version of the 2070 is 115w. Hoping it too is bumped up to 150w. That’s why I ask. -
Does anyone know, it's true that there is a modification of the GT76 with mobile processors and a chipset CM246 ?
Found this information on the MSI website at the link

Here we go again - my laptop that had sleep function issues a few weeks ago, got a full factory reset that solved those issues.
Now suddenly - nothing new has been installed - sleep is freezing my laptop. An RMA was offered by MSI and I managed to avoid it in the past, but not sure what's going on now.
Grrrrr.... -

Where do you buy the GT76 from? The official website shows 0 retailers for it.

Of course the EC Firmware was updated at the same time so I’m not sure which is to blame.
The GT76 definitely needs some attention. I’m all for growing pains but the early days of a laptops life are typically what it gets judged/reviewed on.Mr. Fox likes this. -

I got a little curious in the 3DM FS Physics test(the CPU test). Didn't you see there's something weird with this sub test score? This doesn't look correct. Even lower than from Area-51m running equal clock speed.
What I saw from your review was sub 23000 in the Physics with stock clocks and oc'd up to 5.0GHz barely above 24000.
I run the same 3DMark firestrike test with stock clocks (4.7GHz on all cores) on my +4 years old Clevo P870.
This is 5.0GHz https://www.3dmark.com/fs/19419893
Could you re-run the tests because the results from the review unit doesn't match what you should get from 9900K. Thanks

I can tell you this, the BIOS is really buggy (discussed in the description too) and it wants to fight with the DC software. In fact, the original setup I received from HID was the best version of this laptop. After trying to unlock more performance using the BIOS, (includes the hidden settings) uninstalling DC, reinstalling DC (which wasn’t the same even through it was the file from the direct MSI support page for this model) using BIOS 1.03 and 1.06 is was brought to my attention that HID and MSI are aware of this and are working on a solution.
Because you’re definitely correct, the OC should have yield a higher score and I had a whole section planned to showcase performance scaling and how the desktop CPU offers so much more than the BGA “H” mobile CPUs. -
Continue your good work bro B0B. Because you're one of the very few Youtube reviewers of laptops it's worth look at. Too much Youtubers is more hunged up in design vs. how it should perform.Arrrrbol likes this. -
Absolutely tried it all. 5 weeks with this. The longer I messed with it the harder I knew this review was going to be.
In the end, a few good BIOS updates later should help with the overall usability which is very welcome from an ownership standpoint.
The other aspect is that, from my testing across many laptops the GT76 would have performed a little better if its GPU was directly connected to the display.
Optimus was a really bizarre choice but that’s just my opinion.
But, without even drawing a major attention to this fact, people have commented numerous times already that Optimus only is their deal breaker on purchasing the GT76.Last edited: Sep 5, 2019 -
Pretty surprised by those GPU temps for the 2080 though:
That seems pretty high for using Liquid Metal imo, here are my GTX 980 temps with IC Diamond and max fans in a P870DM-G for comparision:
That was ~30 mins in Unigine Valley and just under an hour gaming with FPS limits disabled. My GPU was slightly overclocked too:
I would imagine the GT76 has more powerful fans than the 5V models that Clevo use in the P870DM-G, the heatsink looks a bit beefier too so i'm not sure why the temps seem to be worse. Unless you have a much higher ambient than my 24 degrees -
Play BFV in 64p Conquest for about 3 hours and see if it’ll run that cool.
I’m not sure how Maxwell architecture cools per wattage compared to these 2k series so perhaps there’s something to consider, not sure.Arrrrbol likes this. -
That could be the case, the die sizes and core layouts are different which could be affecting it. Its also possible the temps could be improved with slightly thinner thermal pads. I believe they are using fujipoly pads? Those are pretty hard and do not deform as much as the gelid ones i'm using.B0B likes this. -

Quick question guys, is the rtx2080 in the gt76 a 200watt card?
Also I can't seem to find a gt76 with the i9900k and a 1080p screen only 4k option in UK. I only game and dont fancy 4k just yet. -

Can anyone with the 2080 model share its vbios along with a GPU-Z screenshot?
It's 200w right?hmscott likes this. -
In reviews the GT76 2080 is not benchmarking as fast as full 2080's on the desktop, but doing well otherwise - especially against the 2080 max-q's, so I wouldn't worry about it.
The only 2080 laptop I'm currently interested in is the Asus G703GX-XB96K which clearly says by Asus that the 2080 is 200w:
ASUS ROG G703GX-XB96K 17.3” 144Hz G-Sync, Intel i9-9980HK, GeForce RTX 2080

Does anyone here a 2080 unit? What power draw is being reported by hwinfo64?Kevin@GenTechPC and hmscott like this. -
The Triton 900 has a 150W version and the 700 an even lower Max-Q design.
Clevo P7 has a 150W and AW 51M everything from 180-200W depending on revision.Falkentyne, hmscott, seanwee and 1 other person like this. -
I'd appreciate recommendations for a sturdy backpack for the MSI GT76 and it's power bricks. Not planning daily trips with this thing, but I do need to travel with it occasionally. Need a backpack for this beast.
Any suggestions? product links would be much appreciated. -

I ended up buying the "Kitchen Sink" backpack from Oakley 4 or 5 years ago, and it's still a solid functional backpack, and it's carried 18" / 17", even multiple laptops, tablets, books, parts, etc.
https://www.oakley.com/en-us/product/92060A?variant=887288724329
I've had so many backpacks in the $50-$100 range fail at the straps over the years with heavy loads that I finally had to admit I needed a well built "expensive" bag that would last.
I used a briefcase / satchel bag as well intermittently, but I wouldn't depend on them to last long against the weight I loaded up on back then
Update: Darn the current model is cheap plastic, my "Kitchen Sink" is all leather with thick solid chromed metal fittings, so it looks like the quality has been degraded over the years:
2 years ago
Not as good as previous model
This is my 3rd Designer Kitchen Sink Backpack. The quality of this backpack is not the same as previous models. My previous model was all leather and this model is like plastic. In the past, the top handle and fixtures at the bottom was Chrome and now they're black plastic. This new model is definitely inferior to my previous ones.
https://www.oakley.com/en-us/product/921018#pdpBazaarVoice
So if not that one, find a bag with solid strap construction - with wide straps with over-stitched seams - because with all that weight most backpacks straps will "roll over" and cut in to your shoulder, right before they pull apart at the seam.
Everki was good when I checked it out years ago, but get up to date reports from owners before buying.Last edited: Sep 15, 2019Papusan likes this. -

It will actually hold my GT75 but its tight at the top, so something narrower would fit better. I use the stuff pouch for my headphones. At the very top by the grab handle it has a optics pouch. It holds my Oakley Flak Jacket hardcase and a spare set of glasses.
For those trips that I know I will be stuck in tin can regional jets(they get anal with a full size carry on with wheels), I will use the Everki for the laptop and some extras and then drop the power bricks in the smaller main compartment. I have velcro in there to hold them to the MOLLE.Last edited: Sep 15, 2019hmscott likes this. -
Hello.And please show me how the game will look wow on the monitor of this laptop in 4 K. Аnd in games you like to reduce the resolution?Does that make the picture much worse?

In case anyone was looking for them, Eurocom has the DC cables for the GT76 available now. Placed my order today...

So, is the lack of GSYNC actually noticeable while gaming at higher settings/refresh? -
-
Wild Turkey Notebook Consultant
So at first you see it, then after awhile you really don't notice it? -
I believe hes saying going from a laptop WITH G-SYNC to one WITHOUT, there is a difference. However, your question was, "Is the lack of G-SYNC noticeable in games at higher refresh rates?" That's going to depend on what you're USED to gaming on and seeing. If, like @B0B you were just gaming on a laptop WITH G-SYNC enabled then YES there is a noticeable difference in those games comparatively. IF you're not used to seeing G-SYNC enabled I would think you won't notice any difference in lack of G-SYNC.

No one had that laptop after sleep or re-on does not connect to wifi?Asks to enter password and after entering is a cyclical connection.Access point deleted.Tried on different routers, the problem remained.The first connection goes normally, and then after reboot of a laptop or an exit from a sleep mode again demands input of the password from a point and does not connect though the password I enter correct.

Thank you, tried, not helped. I have a slightly different problem. The laptop not just does not save the password,and at input anew, the router does not define it,some minutes there is a connection,then again asks input the password.Although the password is correct.
