I have mine on order already can't wait

 

-=$tR|k3r=-

You already know....

This Friday, hopefully StarWars and

The GT80S-072

Man that sure is a long list of things to do .

 

They are opening Star Wars here on Thursday at 7 pm. Tickets already bought.

 

@Frankzro: Wha? Did you pre-order yours too?

@lichensoul , Welcome To The Party! We'll have them soon!

 

Right after you mentioned you got yours (pre-Ordered)I was like... "Wut.. o_o" on the God of War thread post.

I Scoured the Internet forever searching for update then Kevin (I think or Ken) or, maybe not even them mentioned GentechPC had it for Pre-Orders. It took me a few days, but that was a month or so ago.

You should check that thread out again, I posted my other "Baby" in there lol.
But, yeah Pre-Ordered and ready to kick some butt!

 

Can't wait to see some reviews of this laptop! shame it's so much more expensive in australia... Is MSI's warranty international. Could i buy a machine overseas and get it repaired in australia if it was needed?

 

Read the 'MSI Helpful Info' section in post #1 above.....

 

Thanks, so only one year international? that sucks... Actually the aussie version isn't too bad, it's got 2 x 256gb sdd's instead of 128gb. Plus computer alliance is offering a extra warranty, 3 years in total

 

Shipment arrived today.



I'll be doing the video review tonight of performance, speed, temperature, and battery life of Power Wheels® Thomas & Friends™ Thomas with Track. I am super exciting !!!

 

LOL! Dang Ken! You do understand I am expecting my GT80S this week, right? Now if you are playing with Thomas & Friends, how is that gonna happen?

I am curious though, what kind of benchmarks have you run on that Fisher Price? And YES, I see that GT80S box in the picture..... IS THAT MY UNIT?

YOU ARE SUCH A TEASE KEN.... Are you playing with my unit? You are, aren't you? LOL!

 

It's pretty good. It has rail and I like it you can ride on it off the track too and you can add extra track! Max speed is 2 mph which is acceptable and safe. One thing I don't like about it is it took 18 hours to recharge the battery.

But anyway, here are some details and benchmarks I've done so far:



3DMark FireStrike, stock settings, no IC Diamond, no Turbo Fan:

 

WOW! Those temps are much better than I expected...... VERY NICE! How are the noise levels? Now quit playing with my unit, and ship it out tomorrow!

Thanks Ken, you are awesome!

 

Yes temperature are even better than some of the GTX980M out there. The idle is super quiet and the fan starts to kick in while running FireStrike but not even loud.

 

Aren't those core clocks a little on the low side... like just about half of what they should be? Or is GPU-Z just reading them incorrectly? The performance numbers definitely don't seem to match up to those clocks. Can't wait until mine gets here!

 

If it's possible could you please measure the power consumption of the unit and check the clocks for the GPU's during benchmarking using MSI AB or GPU-Z sensors tab to see if it throttles? Thanks)

 

He's.... "Toying" with us!

 

Ship now! Not waiting patiently.

Ok Ken. The kicker question. What does the gpu itself look like??

 

I bet it looks like Voltron

 

+1 GPU pics please.

 

yea, some inside pictures would totally interesting

 

Hehehehehehe...... Heheheheheh....... (drools alot)......Heheheheh.......Hehehehehehe...... (still drooling)...... mine will be here Friday!

 

I only have little time to play with it last night, here are some pictures inside the laptop:

 

oh man, and they have a tab and some stickup parts on the pcb? how high do they stick up?

Edit, that looks totally do able.
Edit: Maybe not....darn....

 

They aren't standard MXM after all. Man...at least there's no power connectors.

 

Hopefully that is just the msi version of the card....hopefully.

 

Please, GenTechPC-Jesus if you are out there let me receive the same news. Please.

Edit: The irony, as I finished this post I got the email!!!!

 

You got the email?

Ho Ho Ho!

 

Hey Ken, So the screen is only 60hz or is it a 120hz also?

 

it's 60Hz.

 

So far, going online I have seen multiple versions of the card. Some of the PCBs are customized to the specific chassis of the laptop. I've seen on some websites that the PCBs on the MXM GTX 980 are sometimes larger than the ones in the picture, but the larger PCBs are meant for single card use only and those are actually more overclockable. We will see however.

 

Like Ken said, 60hz, but some of the guys here mentioned the panel hz can be modified to go higher.

 

What other pictures? Have only seen the single 980 and the ones Ken just posted. What other pictures? Link??

Thanks.

 

That's the problem.
2 DT 980's
1080P Screen

120hz should be factory.

 

I found it doing Google searchs randomly. I wanted speca on the 980 and I found pictures of it on sites..

 

yeah, going to have to say no my friend.... nothing personal.

Edit: Smacks himself for such a reply!

This one?

 

Looking forward to your full review of this unit.

 

I found it doing Google search

Yep that's the one I found!

 

GTX980 SLI is already better on stock than my best OC score huh? Not bad

 

And how about those outstanding temps, and Ken indicated by comparison, that fan speed and noise levels are really great. C'mon Friday! Can't WAIT!

 

Nice chips and tuned power delivery do a nice job certainly

 

@lichensoul & Frankzro,

What shipping did you choose, and ETA?

 

I choose just regular ground, Have not gotten a email sayimg mine has shipped yet.

 

whats the cpu frequency, how high can it go being stable?

 

No one has actually received their unit yet, so hard to say. About all we have thus far, is what Ken posted HERE.

 

We are working on your order and should be ship out today.

 

some better photos of the GPU:




Fan noise while running FireStrike, very quiet:


Disassembly, about 2,000 screws removed:

 

LOL! You definitely went the extra mile Ken! This is why we love you!

YES, quiet indeed, AND, I am really liking those SSD transfer speeds.
