***The Official MSI GT83VR Titan SLI Owner's Lounge (NVIDIA GTX-1080's)***

why buy a monitor when u have an 18 inch screen?

Is the gt80 lcd compatible with NVidia's 3d vision package? it should be if it can maintain a steady 100hz....

Any alternatives too the nvidia one that are cheaper? I would love to make my system 3d

 

what do you mean by "scaling at the expected 95%"?

 

lol his firestrike is higher than many 1080 sli firestrikes,even overclocked ones!

What do you think I mean?

 

There's gotta be something wrong with the Futuremark system, either mis-identifying systems, or mis-reporting.

Either that or MSI is shipping a bunch of them with only 1 1080

 

It's the 9K physics score.

 

Lol CPU throttling -- possibly because if added heat?

CPU OS really the bane of the system -- needs a powerful CPU like one of those 16 core Xeon Chips that would be really nice esp if it came UNLOCKED

 

95% of a true 2x single 1070 notebook should achieve if SLI was perfect? Or comparing to 2x desktop 1070?

 

If they leave the CPU on stock, it scores very low as its stocks speeds are low. Unless you manually overclock those CPUs, they won't shine

 

@MSI Myco @MSI Natalie

 

Mine severely throttles when even a little bit over stock can't maintain anything very long maybe heatsink not fit right???

 

Right, 95% SLI scaling, which is pretty darned good.

But, it's really an estimate, they would need to actually run 1x 1070 and 2x 1070 on the same laptop to get a more accurate score, but it looks like both runs were done with the same out of the box settings, so it's pretty darned close.

 

Nvidia closing the gap every year as laptops become desktops.... Both in size performance and battery life lol

 

So guys I want a weigh in. Lol a 1080sli model with 6920hq for below a 1080/6820hk price with free home delivery!

With free shipping too, right?

IDK man, without any reports from owners yet, I'd wait. I want to see real users running benchmarks and seeing real numbers.

The Futuremark Fire Strike scores for the GT83VR don't make any sense, and are less than our new friend with his GT73VR 1070 SLI gets.

It could be Futuremark problem, but it could also be a GT83VR problem - it's too early to tell.

If you want to be a guinea pig and run those benchmarks and tune it up for best performance, that would be cool, but make sure you have a solid grasp of the return period and if there is a restocking fee first

 

It's he is gonna put it in the truck and drive it to me. Lol and the return is 20 days and a flat 200 fee if I recall. I'll have to ask....my rog 751jw lasted longer than I expected. Lmao

I'll be the Guinea pig. I would hope my reseller wouldn't let me down. I have been buying from him for years and generally hand out cards to referr to him.

Edit2: I don't know if this is good or not but at the distribution center he supplies from a lot of companies are buying them for internal use.

That is the general problem we have been trying to point out. Way to many performance issues going on with MSI that really need to be addressed. And we were hoping with this new 1070N SLI setup things would be going in the right direction.....

And for the record, none of them 1080N's scores are remotely close to an all stock and over clocked P870DM2/3......Which should not be the case at all...

 

So there are issues with the msi gt83?

Me personally I don't know. I was waiting on @-=$tR|k3r=- to post his findings.

 

well ill have mine next week and i have the 20 day return period.....i kinda had to shy away from the clevo as i couldn't get it set up so i could receive it safely due to my job......

 

Nothing wrong with that. And congratz on your new purchase. Hope it works out!

 

Thanks i hope it does as well. this is the first time breaking out from the x60's and going to the top. lol though everything i have seen on the gt83vr seems well....

 

@Mr. Fox , I do not spend nearly enough time on here, you are right. I'm trying to work it into my daily routine, so please all be patient. Am always available via DM.

 

Sorry guys, the notebook is here, but having a family emergency right now, so I haven't gotten to it yet. Will do so shortly..... thanks!

 

My best score for reference: http://www.3dmark.com/spy/449931

 

2000+htz on the core nice. I'm hoping to see what mine will be like.

I missed it but those are desktop gpu's.

hey john do u know if any of the model comes with different cpu or different GPUs have different type of heatsink? i'd hate to get a gt83 without the new cpu heatsink. like back how we had single pipe heatsink in m18x without xm CPU and double/triple pipe heatsink with xm CPU.

 

I think it's all the same heatsink setup.

The GT83VR is a completely new model, independent from the GT80S of last generation.

The 3rd fan added for the CPU in the GT83 didn't exist in the GT80S.

I would think the CPU cooling would be the same for both the 6820HK or the 6920HQ, as they are both 45w CPU's.

 

Well I got the sad news today that the warehouse sent my unit to the next guy in line.

So I'm gonna have to wait another week.

If you haven't already claimed your free games for new laptop's/desktop's sold with a 1070/1080.

IDK if your vendor needs to be involved, but check here then ask:

http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/gears-of-war-4-nvidia-geforce-gtx-bundle

At least some good news

 

But.....I already have it for Xbox and through the windows play anywhere. Also don't I need the serial number of the machine for it?

Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

 

IDK, that's why I gave you the link and suggested asking your vendor

http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/gears-of-war-4-nvidia-geforce-gtx-bundle

" If you are buying an eligible GeForce GTX GPU, system or laptop please ensure the seller is participating in the Gears of War 4 GeForce GTX bundle; NVIDIA cannot provide download codes and coupons for purchases made at non-participating retailers and e-tailers."

 

I'll shoot them an email. Will see. HOPEFULLY I'll have it before the 11th

Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

 

Ask if there are any other gaming bundles active they can send your way to make up for the mixup

 

There was one for paragon. 150$of credit I think. I'll have to go see.

Sent out the email. Hopefully I will hear back soon.

im a little bit worried about getting gt83vr, i understand the machine is new and parts are hard to find but i tried looking for parts on gt80 and 80s and can't really find much about it. MSI is much bigger than clevo when it comes to gaming laptop i'd think there will be more parts floating around but guess not, it seems even harder to get parts than clevo laptops..

if this was dell then alienware parts would be found everywhere on ebay.

 

With Alienware there is the harvest of parts from all the partially or completely non-working units, the basket cases, from which to cull parts.

With MSI, they keep running, so there are fewer carcasses from which to pick parts. So you buy new parts.

Or, Send it in to MSI for Warranty and *After* Warranty repair, as MSI gets all the spare parts

https://laptoppartsblog.wordpress.com/2013/12/18/msi-replacement-parts/

"A couple years back, I seemed to be the only source for replacement MSI parts. Well, MSI stopped ordering extra parts and I found myself without any supply. I still get lots of requests so here is what I tell everyone. Since MSI does not order enough spare parts to sell to the public, they reserve all they do get for in-house repairs. If you must have a part, you should send your laptop to MSI for repair. Then, you will be prioritized to get whatever parts they have left. You can contact them at us.msi.com.

If you have questions about MSI, feel free to write me at info@laptoppartsexpert.com. You can also find some MSI parts available at our website www.laptoppartsexpert.com."

As above and the google link below, there are lots of other places that carry MSI parts now, not just "one guy"

Or better contact with me .

 

As I read this...I kinda start to wonder if it would be possible to swap a 6920 main board with a 6820. Lol

Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

 

Or, better yet, swap in a P870DM3 motherboard, and all the rest of the parts, so we could have a super hot running desktop CPU, super hot running GPU's, and *really* loud fans!!

That'd be one way to get rid of that crappy Clevo keyboard @Phoenix

 

Well if clevo got cheeky enough to build one like that I would.

Or if msi grew a pair and slapped down for desktop cpu's..and maybe released a bios editor for the savvy folks.

gt83vr got enough space to cool a 6700k. again the 6700k tdp at 91w vs the 6820hk tdp at 45w is pretty much irrelevant at this point. if both silicon of similar quality then they will be similar, with 6700k be cooler due to larger IHS and die contact.

 

Though I personally also think Intel should find a way to get the 6700k quality into their HK lineup.

Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

 

well its unlikely cause they wanna find ways to rid of their bad silicon

 

I can think of a few places they can stick their poor silicon.

On another note, besides a mouse and external moniter what accessories should I look at for this monster of a laptop?

Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

 

a good headphone lol. i tend to use external keyboards especially on ones like these cause can't find parts to replace em keys. my keyboard worn out after mass gaming with dota and cs dont wanna ruin laptop that can't find parts for replacement.

 

I have a pair of Logitech g430's that I'm enjoying.

As for the keyboards are you talking about the switch or the key caps? I thought they where compatible with any other cherry key caps.

And yea the external keyboard is a must when using the bigger screen.

Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

 

A wrist rest to place alone the front of the laptop, to raise your hand high enough to comfortably reach the keyboard. Otherwise you are holding your arms up to reach the keys.

The GT80's came with a wrist rest as an accessory, but it's not particularly sturdy, and will wear through, so get a good aftermarket one and preserve the pretty MSI one to entice your laptops 2nd owner during the sale

 

how high up is the keyboard? if its not too much higher than the height of a g751 i have arolled towel i have been using quite comfortably...if find most wrist rests get grungy after awhile.

and thats assuming its gonna live that long. lol.....though i might be swaye'd by the LGA folks when those 6 core mainstream processors come along.
