The Official MSI GT60 & GT70 Owners' Lounge

not that bad until those kepler and GCN came out
but dont worry, it's at least as fast as gtx 460 desktop
and it's a very good overclocker
the most important thing is, this beast's vga can be upgraded
and this version has everything needed as gaming laptop compared to other 15.6 incher . believe me

It's a completely capable gaming machine. I won't be worried about upgrading or over locking for awhile.

It should in Nvidia control panel:

Optimus is a new standard for all MSI notebooks, I just tested it with Sandy Bridge and it worked:

yes, i did that. for physX and 3d settings. but still in gpuz, ccleaner and other software detects the hd 4000 -__-
what will happen if i disable the hd 4000 in the device manager?

Why does this thing only charge under 95%?

It's like that to remind you it's a gaming laptop that should never be used when it's unplugged. Nobody actually uses their mobile monster while on battery. Except when playing facebook games that need quad corez and lots of ram. FarmVille is the most demanding game.

Anyone have any suggestions for which game should be first on my virgin computer? Need something good to properly introduce it into the world.

Was thinking something hardcore like Mafia Wars, maybe QWOP.

Whatever you do, stay away from anything made by EA (Battlefield 3, etc.). As much as I would like to have games like BF3 on the laptop, EA's servers absolutely suck. When it takes over 8 hours for the game to update, something is terribly, terribly wrong. It wasn't my connection; I tested it and it was cooking. Hundreds, if not thousands of other users are experiencing the same thing. EA keeps denying that there isn't anything wrong, but those thousands of users can't all be wrong. And the other games I have on it are working and updating just fine BTW.

I ran SWTOR and Arkham city

Hmm thanks, I'll take that to heart, don't know if I'd like BF3 too much anyhow. Maybe I'll fall back on Bioshock 2, bet it'll look purty on the computer.

Bioshock 2 looks terrific on the GT60.

BTW....a little while ago I hooked the laptop up to ethernet to see if it made any difference. The EA servers were downloading on an average of 135KB per second. That is what other people are reporting also. From what I understand, this is "normal" for EA. It's absolutely ludicrous....
