Well I have checked the boot priorities and disabled network. And made sure I have the dvd drive first and still gives me this error, reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key. Which I have the cd in the drive.

Try that disc on another PC to verify, since it's possible that the disc may not be bootable.
-
Hmm that's the first I've experienced that problem with the recovery cd not being bootable hahahaha. I'll try that when I get home. Thanks for the help guys.

Anyone noticed that audio in gt80 plays not so good as in 16f1/16f2/16f3 (gx60/gt680/gt60). I think soundblaster cinema 2 it is a crap! I have compared sound and gt80 is worst than 16f1... There is no bass like in 16f1.
-
The bass is kind of small though.
majster, give me the unlocked bios! or have you at least found anything good to tweak? And what about the haptic feedback module -
Unlocked bios gives only OC for memory and little bit cpu
. I got over 13k in 3dmark11 on 4720 non sli. Haptic feedback module is working fine I don`t know why msi refused to suport it in final product. Probably $ ? I can`t to share how to unlock bios I promised that
.
-
-
Yep there are some options for TDP control. I don`t know about costs of haptic ... Maybe 20 $ .
-
Think I like the concept[1] more than the actual product.
Would you like to have the removable keyboard?

My GT80-071 is coming in four days (so it's too late), but I wanted to know "in general" how a single 980 graphics card compares to a dual (SLI) 970 setup on any comparable machine (but mostly an MSI).
If an SLI 980 is the "peak" of what MSI can do, I imagine the "peak" SLI 970 should be better than the 980 by itself.
Thoughts?... -
Meaker@Sager Company Representative
The 970 SLI setup will out perform the single 980M IF the game is working with SLI ok.
-
Quick question: if I clone my GT80 boot SSDs to a USB stick or drive will it be bootable?
With the lower price of 128GB thumb drives I'd like to use one as a boot drive backup. As MSI had me make the restoration copy of the drive onto a USB stick I assume the answer is "yes" but would just like to make sure.
Thanks! -
Why don't you try it? I made an iso image so I am not sure.
-
how would you guys compare the cooling of the gt72 to the gt80?since it seems that only the gpus got dedicated fans and the cpu not quite(talking about the gt80)....i believe i read somewhere about some gt80 cpu performing on a little high temps during testing or such.i am asking for the comparison of tehse models since im stuck in between,and if the gt80 would have at least the same cooling efficiency as the gt72(aside from the manual option),then its good nuff.
-
Personally, when gaming, my CPU stays on the 80s region. My GPUs only get up to 80 and 70, when gaming extremely taxing games, otherwise they won't even get hot. Games like League of Legens which are very light, only warm the system, but witcher 2 ultra with ubersample, does get the fans going
Choosing between GT72 and GT80 is more about SLI vs single options. Go with what you feel is the better choice for youboth are excellent systems and deliver amazing gaming performance.

Battlefield 4 and Crysis 3 measurements in FPS. The rest are 3DMark benchmark scores. -

Hello, I am obviously new here and made this account to ask: What are the differences between the GT80 and the Sager NP9377-S/Clevo P377SM-A (weight, design, quality, etc.), I saw while customizing that the sager was cheaper and I could get dual 980 gpu's in it for the same price as dual 970's in the msi. Why is the GT80 worth the around $700 more? Also is there any other laptops you would consider "competitors" to these? I am in the market for a high end gaming laptop such as these.
Thanks a ton! -Charlie -
Also, I am not sure about Sager/Alienware, but MSI does offer surround gaming with nvidia, so you can hook up three external monitors and game across all three. I would imagine other manufacturers have a similar approach.
For a few others though, it is the "official" GPU support the GT80, where MSI ensured that the GT80 would be able to upgrade two more GPU generations officially with upgrade kits. This doesn't mean that other brands can't be upgraded though.
Also as a general comment, there is excellent performance in both 970m and 980m SLI options. I mention this because there is also value in 970m, specially since it is currently the best overclocker all around it seems. Regardless of brand. -
Having the option to replace the cpu would make the sager completely upgradable, while the soldered cpu in the GT80 means you can only easily upgrade the gpu/ram, etc. The lower price in the sager would allow me to get duo 980's, which would improve performance over the 970's. What would you say the performance difference of the SLI's would be? I agree where the things you mentioned are good for the GT80, but is it really worth $700 more, the difference between my 970 and 980 SLI? Is there any other laptops that you could say compete or are on par with these or have something that stand out?
Thanks, Charlie -
The difference on stock 970m and 980m SLI was already shown by Cormogram, so what exactly do you want? Are you trying to say Sager is better just because its cheaper? I don't understand what you want here. There are few options out there for high end SLI, and each have their pro/con. If mechanical keyboard, excellent sound system, great stock screen, official future upgrades and multimonitor gaming are not worth it for you, good for you, you have other choices you can follow
Personally I am extremely happy with my purchase, and I wouldn't trade my GT80 because it fulfills my expectations. -
Everyone, what are your thoughts on monitor overclocking? I noticed I have no problem using 72hz with the monitor. Is there something I should properly consider/take care of before attempting to OC the monitor?
-
Meaker@Sager Company Representative
Not really, just back off if you notice any artifacts.

MSI: GT80 (980M)
Aorus: X7 Pro (970M) & X5 (965M)
Clevo: P370/375/377 (900M series)
You may also get an old Clevo, Alienware, Asus or Lenovo and try to fit new MXM-B boards with 900M GPUs.
Note that you may have to provide a cooling system upgrade to handle the extra TDP. In the case of dual 980M SLI it's 240W.
The big advantage of the Clevo P37x is the Thunderbolt port.
Does anyone knows if the Clevo P570 can be adapted to support 900M series GPUs?Last edited: Mar 15, 2015 -
How did you do it? -
-
You will need to run "bootrec /rebuildbcd" to fix that.
Considering you have a failed RAID volume chances are you will need a Bare Metal Reset/Recovery from Windows RE[1].
So, (1) clone the partition and (2) create a USB recovery drive.

If price is most important in your decision making, then yes, other brands offer cheaper models, but there are many other factors to consider, such as; design, innovation, latest technologies used, storage options, chipset, the cooling solution and temps, fan noise, sound system, weight, dimensions, feature benefits, manufacturer's focus (i.e.: gaming?), support, and warranty. If you do your homework well, generally you will find there is truth in, 'You get what you pay for'! Also, you may want to ask yourself, how do others keep their price lower? This market is as competitive as most, so how are corners being cut? Perhaps, this is due to the use of older surplus components, requiring little to no modification for current use..... in other words, components not requiring new production runs. Generally this can be seen in chassis designs, wherein older MB's are commonly used, wherein older storage solutions can be seen, etc., etc., etc. However, this will soon change for manufacturer's doing this, as Intel's next-round of mobile processors and chipsets are released..... but then it will be back to business as usual, cutting corners, till the next cycle of technologies are released.
Anyhow, choosing the right notebook can be a difficult process, but I would narrow your choice to two or three, then start with an item-by-item comparison of features, hardware, and warranty. With price in mind, make a list of what YOU consider 'pros vs. cons', and then follow this with a good look at all website reviews and videos for the specific models of interest. If by then you still cannot decide, then I recommend more appropriately taking this discussion to the ' Which Notebook Should I Buy?' thread.

I run my internal panel at 100hz on my machine
(It's the AUO 17.3" 90% panel).

Just got my system finally. Is anyone else having slight light leaking on their screen? Only on a black screen so don't care too much. Running wow on ultra beautifully
-
I will be joining the RANKS of GT80 - 009 people soon!! My system will be here on Tuesday 03/17/15, but I will not be able to use it till Friday same week. Is there anything other than what I have been reading so far that would be good to know.
My last system was/is an Alienware M18r2. -
Thank you everyone for your help! I think I have decided to get the msi route. Has anyone had any experience with McAfee Antivirus Plus 2014? There is a promotion and I could get that for free, but I have read some pretty mixed/bad reviews. Is it worth getting it for free or is it that bad? Also is it possible for the gt80 to output 4k to an external monitor or no- I saw this on the msi gt80 page:
"With the Matrix Display, you can now use the latest surround view display technology to build the multi-display gaming experience, or with 4K resolutions or multitask effectively by HDMI 1.4 by 30Hz and dual Mini Display Port 1.2 by 60Hz refresh rate. (Overall 4 monitors including notebook’s monitor on GT80)
Handle the big screen with support of up to 3840 x 2160 resolutions to watch your movies or play your games when connected to an HDTV."
Thanks -
Can anyone suggest a replacement of the backpack? I want a laptop sleeve for protection and be able to slip it into hand-carry luggage, so, not the backpack. I was looking at the Everki 18.4" laptop bag/sleeve but not sure if it fits the Titan.

I was wondering if anyone with access to a GT80 with two 970m can confirm if the CPU and GPU temperatures are much lower than those on one with two 980m. I would expect a significant difference as a 970m runs much cooler than a 980m.
Also, if I am worried about the highest temps of 90+C (CPU) and 80+C (GPU), I was wondering if it would be better to go with a GT80 with two 970m. Is the build and everything else the same on the laptop regardless of the GPU I opt for?
Thanks.Last edited: Mar 16, 2015 -

Hopefully not!
The last few weeks I haven't been here much so haven't check about this. I did see a while back Striker saying he had higher temps than usual on his GT80, do you know how that worked out for him? -
I my opinion do not pay for different thermal compound as the stock compound tested better on the CPU in my testing collection. Unless you move into something like Liquid Ultra.Midou likes this. -
On the mDP v1.2 ports you may get 60Hz on those resolutions.
I'm not sure if they have updated the GT80 with new guides but perhaps this[1] old one may help.

Hi everybody, I'm thinking about purchasing this laptop but I have few quick questions for you guys first. When I game away from home I just plan on using the laptop screen and that's it. However when I'm home, I want to plug 3 external 1080p displays into it. My two questions are:
Has anyone tried gaming at 5760*1080? How was your performance?
Can I plug the monitors into the laptop and then close the lid without the computer overheating?
Thanks, everybody! -
-
Not sure if the same monitor model is a requirement though.
You may change the "Control Panel > Power Options > Change plan settings > Change advanced power settings > Power buttons and lid > Lid close action" to "Do nothing".
