MSI GT70 sound chips and 3D performance

Hello there,

I'm looking forward on GT70 series notebook.
For gt70-0nd492us (675MX) and gt70-0nd444us (675M), how big difference are they on gaming (most highest demand 3d FPS shooting gaming)
I'm also concern about the onboard sound chips and speaker, what sound chips are they using, SB X-Fi or some high level Realtek? Sager NP9370 which use X-Fi chips really attracting at all...

And for the last the speaker quality, how's it compare with Sager NP9370 series? I concern the full range response , and a little more concern the Bass reproduction.... what do you think??

Thank you very much!

 

I'm a newbie, can't made up my mind between these 2 model and Sager

Please feel free to comment! All comment are welcome thanks!

 

It's a Realtek with sound blaster software for emulation..

 

I had a 9370 for about a week and the sound could not come close to the sound in my gt70 Dragon edition.

 

Thanks, so how does the emulation do? Perfect? I'm not an expert, just don't want to see it easily get conflict with the game's EAX setting or playing crappy with my foobar music at all ....

Oh.... can you describe more detail about the difference? Look forward to know it.... how's the Treble, Mid and Low reproduction on both machine? Is it MSI equipped with a larger size woofer down below??

 

And one more question - Does the mSATA port a SATA2 or SATA3 on GT70 ? From xoticpc, how to choose between 256G SSD, Crucial M4 or Samsung 841? Someone saying not stable in Samsung 841 at the moment because of firmware.....

 

As good as the Clevo's are, a lot of users are not happy with the speakers and/or audio chip. Though people generally appear happier with the MSI units' speakers, IMO, laptop speakers are laptop speakers; If you want something exceptional, use external speakers or high-end earbuds or headphones.

 

492 is using the GTX675MX graphic card with 4GB
it also comes with 128GB SSD + 750GB HDD / 16GB memory
444 is using the GTX675M graphic card with 2GB
it also comes with only 750GB HDD / 12GB memory

675MX is the half a generation newer than the 675M version.

Speaker wise, all MSI branded NB comes with speakers that is build and fine tune by Dynaudio. You can see that Dynaudio speakers can go up to $1000s. All reviews had been giving great reviews on our speaker experience. It have a build in Sub which base is not a problem at all.

 

mSATA port is connected to SATA 3

 

Thanks for your tips! so the mSATA interface a mSATA-3 which benefits the 6Gb speed at all? (so far I know the mSATA port in Clevo rig are mSATA-2 which 3Gb only....)

 

That's make sense, I'm not a HiFi demon at all, but just want to have a sweeter one if paying for a $2000+ gaming station

 

Alright I'm just going to post a link on a good deal that worked out... if you're not allowed to do this someone let me know. DONT pay $2000+ for a gaming system... thats ridiculous. If you want the best AND cheapest, go look into anterespro. They have pretty good deals. If you want to go up to as much as you were planning, buy the best of the best MSI barebone here for $1143 (this is seriously the cheapest price anywhere, if anyone knows a cheaper deal on a barebone system with a 680m, PLEASE let me know) and buy all of the other parts for super cheap on ebay. For instance I bought the 937-16F336-024 (has a 675MX) on this site for $895 ( here if you interested), a $180 i7 3610 from ebay, $60 hdd thats 500gb 7200rpm, and 8gb of 1600mhz Elpidia RAM for $38. It works great and I seriously believe I got the best deal possible. Someone tell me this wasn't a good deal, and tell me why! Lol.
