GT780R launch date, GT683R...

Hi,

According to my source from MSi, it is going to be late Sept/early Oct. In the meantime MSi is going to 'replace' GT680R with GT683R (nV GTX560M).

so that means like gt760 and it might be cancelled again why msi taking so long? whats wrong with them? what issues are there?

is it they cant decide or a good RRP or the Graphic card?

clearly a 2nd grader can tell u that gt 555m gddr5 is a bad choice than gtx 460m because it has 96 sps 128 bit gddr5 as its a 17 inch laptop it should have gtx 460m or higher

 

I think the reason that MSI is making two models of the 780 and 680 is one to be a gaming laptop, GT680 460m and the GX680 with the 555m to be more multimedia based like the Dell XPS model. I figured that they want to compete will the multimedia notebooks out and decided to try it this way. As for the longer date of release, I don't have a clue. I was hoping for June, maybe July. But we just have to wait and see, As for the 555m, they are getting some really great overclocking numbers off that card with the XPS. I dont think it will be all that bad to tell you the truth.

 

@Riddhy: I think you are underestimating your knowledge. You are not an average buyer. This forum is full of very knowledgeable people but imho that is still a VERY small sample (relatively speaking). Many people out there still think bigger number => higher performance.

@Lurch: I agree. I think MSi is making a strategic shift in their portfolio. I tjink that they are just being careful and that is a very smart move at this point imho. Ivy Bridge is coming much faster than originally projected due to SB fiasco. Furthermore, I agree that they are making some fine adjustments by creating a virtual segmentation to gaming and multimedia/casual gamer categories.

I know, it can be very 'painful' for people who are waiting but in my humble opinion, very good for their bottom line

 

I was looking on the XPS thread because I wanted to see what kind of performance the 555m was getting since XPS 17 is the only laptop I have found that has this card in it and I was kinda impressed with the numbers they where getting overclocked. And that card for the XPS has VGDDR3 RAM in it and MSI is using VGDDR5 RAM so it might be alittle better than what they are getting with there's overclocked. 14981 in 3Dmark 06 is pretty impressive to say the least with a overclocked 555m and 2720qm i7 and the new BETA driver for it.

well as an avg knowledgeable person gt 555m gddr5 will be 96 sps 128 bit gddr5 which means oced gt 540m/550m using gddr5 not 144 sps/192 bits gddr5 chk nvidias site as well as do some googling. lenovo y570 already released in china and they are posting gpuz and other reviews

so if gt 555m gddr5 gets in gx780/gt780 and msi even charges usd 1299 its totally a waste

whats the specs of gt683r?

 

I don't expect the 96sp GDDR5 version to be much slower, if at all.

It has more bandwidth than the 192bit version, and significantly higher core/shader clocks:

 

Deal is though the video of the GT780R at CeBit showed 144 cores with a 128-bit bus using GDDR5.

 

Well then, there's four versions of the GT 555M. But what's with GT 555M "slash" GTX 560M? It's obviously not the latter.

Clocks look like 675/1350/1250.

 

in china theres a laptop called k580p it used gt 445m with 144sps with 128 bit gddr5

 

Ok thats China. I'm talking about the US here. And that K580p that I looked up had the GT555m in it. It was GX680 vs K580p site. Which both had 1366x768 screens in them. The notebooks MSI is coming out with that have the GT555m in them are going to be for the multimedia crowd more than gamers. I guess they want to compete with Dell's XPS models and try to get a piece of that pie as well. So if your fine with gaming at 1366x768 or 1600x900 then this card will be good. And if the GT/GX780 comes out and is on 1300 it would be worth it if it has 1920x1080 res screen and the gt555m in it. Thats what a Dell XPS 17 will run you and you upgrade them and they get over 1500 quick. MSI will have the 2 year warranty on this notebook standard. Dell you have to pay for it. Plus they already are offering a extra year on some models already out with Sandy Bridge chips due to the cougar bug. I dont know why your so trash talking a card that all you have done was read some numbers off of.

 

well i really thought a powerful gpu because previous 17 inch msi gaming models had the higher end gpus like gx740 had 5870 so i thougt why not a gtx 470m
