MSI continues to focus on gaming with its notebooks and the updated GT60 and GT70 are no expcetions. The computers that launched along with the Intel Ivy Bridge processors have been updated with Nvidia’s latest flagship Geforce GTX 680M.
We reviewed MSI GT70 at the launch of Intel Ivy Bridge and was overall impressed by the compvuter that with its GTX 670M had no problems with running games at 1920 x 1080 pixels. MSI has now updated the 17.3″ model and the smaller sibling MSI GT60 with Nvidia’s latest graphics card GeForce GTX 680M.
The card is based ont he latest Kepler architecture and gets 1344 CUDA cores at 720 MegaHertz, and “up to” 4 gigabyte GDDR5 memory at 900 MegaHertz (3 600 MegaHertz effectively). The clock frequencies will differ a bit in MSI’s notebooks, but should be near these values. GTX 680M will score around 5900 points in 3DMark 11, which you can compare to the 3018 points we got when testing GT70 with GTX 670M – near 100 percent boost.
Besides that we find a quad-core Core i7 processor, up to 16 gigabyte DDR3 memory, two SSD units that work in RAID, Killer E2200 network card, keyboard from Steelseries, Dynaudio sound. Both the 15.6″ model GT60 and 17.3″ model GT70 get 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, which should be nice with the graphics performance hiding inside.
The price of GT60 and GT70 with GTX 680M were not revealed, but they will be sold alongside the older models at a higher price. The computers will arrive in stores in a few weeks.
