ViciousXUSMC's Ultimate MSI GT70 Unboxing & Review

[ViciousXUSMC]

Back from the park laptop still on.

So far about 3 hours on time with screen full brightness and music playing. battery at 15% left.

This is ~30w load and I have about 30m left or so.

On power save w/ low brightness we can get under 20w load so that would be 50% more life time.

So we are looking at an estimated 3.5hours x 1.5 = 5.25hours of battery life if your trying to get max life out of it. Way better than any other gaming laptop I have owned but this is to be expected with the new 22nm cpu and the integrated graphics.

Excellent and well thought out power test. Thank you Vicious.

Could you also Benchmark Stalker Call of Pripyat. There's a benchmark available for Free Download on the Web.

Download Link for Benchmark: News - S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

ViciousXUSMC could you do the Stalker Benchmark ?

[ViciousXUSMC]

Yeah I will do that next time I have a chunk of time to d/l run benches.

New battery drain chart, figured out how to get it to display proper.

New keyboard came in today, anybody think they would want/need a video on how to install a keyboard if so I can record one. if not I will just do the keyboard swap without worry and report back.

to the person asking for Stalker benches got those done tonight (took forever to download on slow wifi)

I'll graph these out later and put in the review this is just a quick screenshot of the results. The first one is DX11 High, the second is DX11 Ultra

Thanks for taking the time to benchmark Call of Pripyat. It seems even under Ultra it is playable however with Sun Shaft's the frames do lower to almost nearly playable territory. Nevertheless impressive results for a Fermi based re branded card.

Under Advanced Options what were the settings used for the Benchmark ?
