The only difference between these two is RAM? Well, anyways, 16GB is more than enough, but since the 026 with 32GB is cheaper, take that one.

Just realised that you have the GT60 (15,6") and GT70 (17,3"). Well, I would pick GT70, because it's bigger. But if you are gonna take the GT60, I would take it with 16GB RAM, even 8GB is enough. I only took 16GB RAM on my Clevo just to "future-proof". But 16GB doesn't seem usefull (for gaming) anytime soon.

 

Thanks foR your advice I think now I am going with msi gt60 2od

 

You mean that 16GB will be enough for any games on max or high settings would not lack during playing games?
Thankx

 

The average game uses around 2gb of ram very seldom more than 4, it will prioritize your gpu's ram and even then it never goes over 2 on that unless you are running over 1080p

 

Thaknx everyone for your great help.
Now I think I am going with GT70 2OD -064US Thankx ones again...

 

Yeah, pick the one with the screen size that you will enjoy the most. Both will give you the exact same performance.

 

Most games are still written in 32bit anyway meaning as an application they can't use more than 4GB IIRC anyway.

But 16GB is going to be plenty for some time.

 

Thankx everyone for your great help.:thumbsup:
Which thermal component will be better as it is free upgrade from gentech pc
1: OEM Standard Thermal Compound
2: IC Diamon 24 carat copper Thermal Compound on both CPU+GPU.
Thankx again..

 

Number 2 definitely.

 

#2.

MSI have really poor quality control on pasting. Its best to have a reseller making sure its done correct.

Personally Id just go with #1 and do the repasting myself though

 

Thaknx............

 

IC Diamond for sure. the stock thermal compound MSI uses is MX-2 and sometimes they just put too much.

 

Thankx for help

 

Given the same CPU/GPU is may be said that a smaller screen with lower resolution would give higher frame rates. Then again my desktop uses two 24s so living with a 17.3 is almost too small for me anyway

 

Seems you are fan of Big screens..

 

Well yes but to help the jagged lines you may need to apply more AA which would hurt frame rate.

 

Hey guyz I have one more question would I will be able to play CoH2 on v.high or ultra or on max setting without lacking on Msi GT70 2OD -064US with above specifications.

 

Hell no. Not even a single GTX Titan can do that at a respectable framerate, let alone a 780M.

 

Ok, then on medium setting can be played at 60 -70 fps??

 

Seem if Watch Dogs will be released even cant play it on high or v high or ultra or max settings. What you guyz think

 

Max settings surely will be a no-go. However no-one knows the system requirements for that game yet. Also, CoH 2 will only run on low at 60-70 FPS. You can also do some research yourself, Google is your friend.

 

Predicted system requirements are only up to speculation right now, but I imagine you will be able to play the game on medium settings with good frame rates from what I've seen so far.
