    It's not even in the image of the system, but in Dragon Center. I did a clean install and now can't install it. The version that is posted on the site does not work.Can you share an earlier version for gt76 dt 9SG laptop. Well, if you still throw off and the image of the system for the laptop MSI GT76 Titan DT 9SG-062RU I will be very grateful to you.

    Got my new GT76 in yesterday but just started messing with it tonight.

    Can't for the life of me figure out how to activate the vertical/horizontal scrolling zones on the right side and lower region of the touchpad. Am I missing something?

    Please don't tell me they don't exist.

    Works for me if I use two fingers on the right side. Haven't tried horizontal though.

    That's the thing. I'm talking about the standard one finger scrolling with built in scrolling regions that's been on literally every laptop I've ever had in my life.

    But after more research it appears this is just the new thing with Windows Precision Drivers, it's two finger scrolling or nothing. This is some serious **** for to me to get used to here.

    No more continuous chiral scrolling either. What about video games that recognized that vertical scrolling region as scrolling the middle mouse button?

    I'd rather have my ****ing Synaptics back. I never asked for this.

    The A51m has gsync but the GT76 has better cooling.

    This depends... You'll lose G-stink for your Area-51m if you try to avoid the implemented throttling introduced by newer sBios to stop the Smoke and increased RMA numbers.

    None of today's laptops is useable without undervolt. And the GT76 model have too low power limits to be able to get a decent Cpu overclock as advertised.

    I would rather have nothing than the sucky trash Windoze OSX "Precision" touchpad filth. PC technology is racing toward the gutter at an alarming pace... steady flow of rubbish coming from every direction. Those with no buttons on them are garbage on steroids. Mine stays disabled because using it just makes me angry. Too much of a reminder of smartphone touch crap.

    Youtube is your friend. If you're not already Subscribe to both @B0B and Jarrod'sTech. The first view by Bob is a GT76 with the liquid metal applied by Hidevolution. And the second a third are by Jarrod who has a stock model and he undervolts it.

    So temps are pretty good either way if you're willing to tinker with it abit. The software on the GT76 is user friendly so you wouldn't be overwhelmed as it's just a few button presses.

    I'm really liking this laptop. The 240Hz screen is pretty amazing.

    I just wish the installed RAM wasn't under the keyboard so I could easily swap it out for something faster.

    What are you needing exactly? An entire factory image?

    How would I even get that to you?

    It is not that much more difficult to get there, just more screws and a few more steps to separate the mid-case layer and motherboard/display. I admit it is a strange layout given slimmer form factors with memory bays in the same side and this unit's given case height (though it really is due to housing the cooling units). Use good tools and you'll be fine.

    I just ordered my gt76 from Hidevolution (have used them for all my laptops) Donald from HidEvo rocks. Cant wait ..

    Any of you have any ideas why the alienware m51 performs noticeably better than the gt76 if they share pretty much the same specs? I have seen several reviews and alienware seems to be around 10% faster

    because first revision of GT76s vbios has 150w limit
    update vbios to have 200w
    anyway now area51m does not has preinstalled radiator on their videocard vrm so they have to lower videocard limit to 180w to prevent instant overheating problems. But it does not helps in long term

    It still requires a full teardown and motherboard flip though right?

    I might t do it someday but I'm not feeling that right now.

    What is the peak brightness level for the 240Hz panel? Also, are the fans audible when the laptop is under light load (web browsing, YouTube etc.)?

    I can't tell you anything about 240 Hz screen (my model doesn't have it unfortunately). Fans are almost silent when idle or at light load (Sport profile).

    what would be the best(Fastest source) to connect an external monitor on the GT76?? My monitor is asus rog pg279q

    HDMI, Mini diplay port or thunderbolt 3? my monitor is 144p 165hrz

    Also, would G sync be available using this monitor?

    It took me forever to find a source for specs on the screen. This Spanish review is the only one I know of, where they have calibrated and measured the display, sharing the technical details.

    Scroll down to the Calibration section.

    Hey everyone,

    the 9700K/2070 version of the GT76 comes with the exact same cooling as the high end models right? They didn’t remove any heat pipes or fans?

    awesome! Is the 9700K also guaranteed to hit 5ghz from the factory like the 9900k? Also, is the 2070 version the full 115w tdp chip?

    My system should be arriving tomorrow. Since the GT76 is one of the preview awards and star of the show for MSI at this upcoming CES 2020, I’m assuming there won’t be a new desktop replacement announced that replaces our current systems from MSI? Hopefully not lol

    9700K will only hit 4.9 per Intel's Max Turbo Frequency 4.90 GHz.

    The RTX 2070 in the GT76 9SF is the full 115W TDP chip.

    None of the 'new' CPU and GPU technology systems will ship before April...some will be later than that. Probably the most you will see announced at CES is a refresh of the same models.

    Mine only hit a max 4.7. Firestrike results were also pretty dismal. Granted this is on unaltered or updated settings from factory.

    wow that score is terrible for both the GPU and CPU. The full 2070 should be doing near 23K graphics, and the 9700K should be in the 19 to 20k range. Did you overclock at All?

    Nope. Completely as arrived from manufacturer without overclocking or updates. Contemplating return unless someone can explain why it is this low. Temps don’t seem to go anywhere near where they would cause throttling.

    What results did you get on your system?

    hey guys...

    Do any of you know if there is another way to create a fan curve other than msi dragon center??
    I am overclocking my cpu in bios and overclocking my gpu in msi after burner but as soon as control center starts(when I restart my computer) it reverts back to dragons center's settings. All i want from dragon center is fan control... nothing else

    I didn’t test because I ended up not opening my system and will return it. With CES next week and the possibility of nvidia super RTX cards coming to laptops, it’s a terrible time to buy.

    I was hoping you did because I haven't come across any other benchmarks with these specs (9700k + 2070) to compare mine with. Looking forward to seeing what CES will tease us with. Cheers.

    I don't think MSI has anything special to release at CES except for the 65 to 66 GE series redesign. AKA mini 76.

    Until you see the prices of the 2020 gear. RTX Super would result in a very minor performance gain over non super units but you can bet it will command a much higher price.

    Also, pinkcs result is a good starting point. Keep in mind a few things. First, when the "full" version of the 2070 is stated, that just means it is not the max-q. It is still a RTX 2070 notebook version. That has a 115 watt TDP. Im not sure there are any 2070 Laptops that have a true desktop (170 watts) GPU. Only the 2080 in the RTX line with the 205 watt (officially 200) is full desktop, and even that is something like 10 watts below the desktop 2080's.

    And second, the absolute top Firestrike score for a 9700k\RTX 2070 notebook GPU is Overall 20470. Graphics 22899. Physics 20494. Combined 11390.
    Beats the crap out of my previous laptop with a i7 8750H\GTX 1070. (Overall 14670).

    So pinkcs score is not that far off so get tweaking.

    Agree with you @scavengers, 2080 to the super is 5% at best. If you get a really good 2080 and overclock the memory to 1000 offset it should be just like a super.

    I get 2025hrz on core and 8000 hrz on memory on gt76 stable and I match scores of super desktop cards.

    I would like to have more TDP on this card. the GT76 Cooling is amazing and should be able to handle the Stock 225W for a full desktop card without a problem GT76's 2080 Caps around 200w. I have very aggressive fan profiles (laptop pretty loud must admit) but i dont care since i use headphones and temps on GPU dont exceed 75c and thats with above clocks.. Actually I have not seen it hit anything over 72c to be specific. Msi afterburner offset is +110 on core and +1000 on memory
