hey guys, new and proud owner of the gt60
Just wondering if the turbo boost button is still available and if it isnt, where may I access turbo boost? Is it still a feature for the new gt60s?
Also, how can i prevent these annoying finger prints on the palm rest, I'm typing with my hands in the air to prevent the annoying finger prints but its getting annoying also. -

For anyone wondering about battery life of this notebook, I'll post some results of a few tests I did yesterday.
TEST 1 : Unplugged from power @14:30, brightness @50%, got a wireless logitech performance mouse plugged in. Wifi on and connected to home network. Keyboard backlight set to different colors just to see whether it has an impact on battery. Read through some of my favorite websites for about an hour and a half. Battery @89% at this point which is awesome. Youtube for another hour. Battery down to 70%. Basic word processing for and hour, battery @62%. Some funny episodes from some tv shows and some movie clips and battery goes down to 47%. And after that, I repeated the process, some internet, family guy, NBR, meme fun, gamespot......etc.... AAANNND.....after 4 hrs 48 mins, the battery went down below 10% and I plugged it in. I was very suprised and happy, for a laptop that has this high end specs, thats an awesome amount of battery life, nothing to argue here. So, I got curious, had doubts, decided to test again.
TEST 2 : Basically the same as above, this time I got 5 hrs 11 mins. cool.
TEST 3 : I wanted to see how long this notebook would last under the least load. wifi off, no mouse plugged, used the touch pad, brighness @30%. Basically, what I did was work stuff. Word and publisher mainly, with some excel stuff. Got an impressive 6 hrs 47 mins before I plugged it in. LOL!
So, for anyone considering this notebook, know that haswell and optimus are awesome!

I receiving my gt60 today and should I do a 12 hour first charge? Is there anything else I should do on startup?

Enjoy your laptop! I know I do -
Also my gt60 got a P4950. Is that below average? I am on gaming mode in power settings. Is there anything else I can do?
Finally should I update my Nvidia driver to 320.49 whql? -

Assuming your GT60 is the 770M version that score is good.

Can I get a confirmation from the owner of a GT70 2OC about whether the display bezel is matte or glossy? I know that the 2OD has a matte bezel around the display, but I'm wondering about the 2OC. I went to see one in Canada and it was atrocious... nice matte screen with a halo of glare around it due to the bezel. Perhaps American models are more sensible....?

I have been playing Battlefield 3 for a few hours today and have had the HWMonitor temperature sw running during online game play. I have noticed that my temps on my CPU will Max at 90C. While my GPU usually max's at 76C. I have not repasted either of them. I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on what temps they are seeing and why my temps might be as high as they are, especially on the CPU.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance. -
So i have been testing my Temps out on Battlefield 3 today and what i have found makes me worried. While playing i had CUPID HWMonitor running to check the temps on my CPU and GPU. After two matches on BF3, the monitor was showing at a point i hit a max of 90C on my CPU and a max of 76C on my GPU. These temperatures seem quite high while i was running at High Graphics settings.
I have not re-pasted my GPU or CPU, so they are both still pasted with the stock factory Thermal Paste.
The temperatures i reached are to me frightening on the CPU considering the shut-off point i believe is 100C, Any help or information you guys can give me will be appreciated, I am still under my 15 day RMA. -
68c during 3dmark11 is normal. Nothing to worry about here. See page 3, paulnelson88 posted some screenies, and you can see that he hit 72c max temps after 3dmark11. I would only be worried if temps went 85c+ and upward.
P4950 score is right where it should be, as Meaker said.
About the driver, I would wait for an official release, last time I checked, 320.49 whql was still in beta.
@matt89
Also, could you share with us what kind of fps are you getting while playing bf3? I havent tried playing it yet, and some other users here are eager to know how BF3 performs on the 770M.

Are there any glaring issues with the GT60 at the moment? I'm thinking of picking one up with the following settings:
Matte Screen (default, any opinions on glossy vs matte?)
GTX 770M (default, no option for 780M)
i7-4700 MQ (default)
16 GB RAM (8 GB free through Gentech!)
1000 GB 5400 RPM drive (primary)
250 GB Samsung 840 SSD (secondary, will reseller install OS here or am I forced to make it primary?)
Intel Wireless-AC 7260 (why not future proof it for AC wifi?)
Reseller is Gentech, final price is ~$1600. -
I think that the primary drive will have the OS. email Ken, and he'll be able to answer this 1000 times better than any of us. He's awesome.

Just did a 3dMark11 Bench, really satisfied with the results!
Also got the temps : max temp for GPU : 62c, max temp for CPU : 64c
No overclock, no fan boost, no notebook cooler, stock paste
Gonna update my post on the first page. Almost done with the game benches.

Hey thanks allot for the feedback.
I think ill get in and repaster both CPU and GPU with some Tuniq TX-4
I'll run an FPS meter once i get the CPU and GPU re pasted and post a reply once i get you guys some good numbers. -
Can anyone tell me the stock 1tb hdd model because Best Buy changed the hdd in my model and Im wondering if it is performing worse. Best Buy stated that it was a 7200 rpm hdd but when I looked up the model number it was recorded as a 5400rm model hdd but I still havent opened the back of the laptop to check the labels. It's a WDC WD10JPVX-22JC3T0. BTW my boot time is around 15 seconds. Is that high compared to a normal gt60?
Also my battery life is around 4 hours on balanced so Im going to run battery calibration. -
-
$500 extra is a pretty big increase for a graphics card boost! I think I'll just stick with the 770M if I get it. -
Also, could anybody explain the difference between getting a SATA drive or an MSATA drive for this machine? Some resellers just offer a primary/secondary SATA drive with no mention of MSATA, and others offer upwards of 3 MSATA drives along with a standard SATA drive.

MSi GT60 20C-022US does not have 3 mSATA
MSi GT60 20C-024US has 3 mSATA
MSi GT60 20D-026US has 3 mSATA, but this is the GTX 780M, hence the price.
As for me, I went with MSi GT60 20C-022US, single 120GB samsung SSD in primary bay. I just bought another SSD which i'll install myself in the secondary bay.
Hope this helps. -
Can someone look up the stock 1tb hdd model number in the device manger program? Thanks.

How about a picture from Ryzeki's review on the forum:

Is installing a SSD myself in this machine straightforward enough? The price difference for setting the SSD as the primary disk is a $75 jump, so I may just buy the SSD seperate. I need to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro upon receiving the laptop anyway (using a different product key), and I'm unsure if this will require a complete reinstall of the OS and MSI drivers.

I'm just gonna leave this here. Temps after Skyrim gaming session. Mostly stayed in the mid 70s for CPU and high 60s for GPU.

Look at how the 770M (GK106) sips at the voltage there, very impressive.

Any one tried 8.1 on gt 2oc?
-
Along with my SSD installation question from the previous page, one additional question. MSI seems to heavily advertise the Killer network cards on their product page, and I'm curious if anybody knows how this card performs in comparison to Intel's new 7260 AC capable card (specifically on 802.11n networks, as 802.11ac routers won't be widely used for a while yet). The laptop comes with a Killer Wireless-N 1202 card by default, and the "upgrade" to the Intel 7260 is $15. I can't seem to find a site that has network testing results for either of them.

Does anyone else get stutters when playing sky rim at high or ultra settings? I usually get them in first person mode but my fps is usually 50 on ultra and around 60 on high

Does anyone know how to factory reset (without uninstalling windows 8. Just how it came out of the box.) the laptop so none of my accounts information is compromised? Thanks -
After having spent about a month reading and comparing Asus, Sager and msi, I have finally ordered the following from PowerNoteBooks for: $1,726.00

I sacrificed the Super Raid because 2 mSATA's are just too expensive for a 20% increase in read speeds. -
$1726 seems rather expensive for that configuration, maybe it's just the screen size. You can get a similar GT60 over at GenTechPC for ~$1600, though the screen size is 15.6". SSD was a 250 GB Samsung 840 and HDD was a 1TB 5400 RPM model.

Looking at getting this Laptop MSI GT70 2OC-065US for Video editing and Photoshop not for gaming,
can anyone tell me if the GTX 780 and GTX 770 is there a big difference when using for Video editing?
thanks -
Just got my GT 70 unboxed. Going to download some games and benchmark them. Super stoked! The keyboard is just plain awesome, and this huge crisp display has me wowed!
-
The 780m is about 50% faster than the 770m however, so if there is GPU acceleration you may get a sizable gain. -

Hello, everyone
I have MSI GT60 ONC and want to upgrade GTX670M to GTX770M, so I bought GTX770M from eBay.
ALIENWARE M17x/M18x; NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M;3GB DDR5; MXM 3.0b
Then I replaced it to my laptop that run in Windows 7. It showed me 8-bit color.
So I installed Windows 8 and it run normally with Microsoft Basic Display Adapter (not found GTX770M)
Here is screenshot from gpu-z that saw some informations
I think it incompatible with Alienware subvendor VBIOS or it hasn't.
Could anyone help me by send GTX770M VBIOS MSI subvendor?
Thank you.
