So there it is, the real successor of the GTX580 chip

Isn't it a 680M's successor?

I see a turbine type fans. Smaller than fans on other GPUs... interesting how good they are?

Congrats.

All is working as it should. No troubles whatsoever, only positive feelings.

Thanks and I bet folks are waiting for a Prema Overvolt Edition:P

@sowacz.

At first you ust have appropriate pen drive. not big one in FAT.

Then you may try to put a bios file which you flashed called the same as MSI called it. Which means you should download Ady's tool from Mdl and open your BIOS with it. It will give you recovery name.

Then put that bios to your pen drive and perhaps boot win95 files too and try to press power button while already holding ctr+home or Ctrl+Esc or Fn+ Esc etc. Good luck.

@ender, maybe increasing FSB up to 5%. But nothing can be done with multipliers.

Ask on mydigitallife forum about bios recovery

download AMIbcp or amitools 4.53 and open with it modded bios. you will search what you need there.

Thanks for info being updated.Perhaps they use smaller esolution for testing or perhaps just fairy tailes.

Will be waiting for that.

9% is not very different to you???

Hello! I have a problem: after flashing the BIOSI have stopped working right USB port (which is combined with sound cards). Help please!

MSI GT683

Somebody can help me?

Flash BACK.

Anyone can help me,after i updated my bios to unlocked version,my laptop is gt683r,everything is ok!so after that

I do some changing of settings,like the XMP i put in profile 1 and memory in1600mhz, my memory is only 1333mhz

When i save the changes and booted it only gives black screeni already done removing the Cmos battery lead but

Still the same problem,hope somebody can help me,

Thanks in advance

Are you trolling? Just read PREVIOUS page! All the same problem.

Sounds good:soap: but why are you so sure?

you yourself tested the performance of the laptop based on 2670m with both memory and saw the difference in the results?

Why, simple trust means nothing nowadays?

CPU-Z Validator 3.1

About second question... you asked yourself if it is possible to use it. Now when you got an answer you doubt in it?

archieving - plus 2-3.5%

games on dedicated GPU - good if gives 1%

games on iGPU - plus 50% (depends)

Why do you really need it? All you do in OS will get improvement like responce on clicking smth, Alt+Tab, using anything which is stored to RAM. Just better experience. We call it snappiness:)

I would be very happy if it turns out that all the same it can operate at higher frequencies than 1333!!!!

So what is the truth?

Jut buy any 1600 RAM except stupid Blue HyperX and it will work as it should on your 2670QM. Not sure if it will work at 1866.

Looks like CPU is DOA. Smth is wrong with memory controller I would say.

@Xonar. GE-series have 1 mSATA and 1 SATA which both work at 6GB speed. It would be great if RAID would be supported though I don't know if RAID Option ROM is in this BIOS at all. But I know where you can find it:p

Also XMP support would be awesome and other stuff for overclocking unlocked processors.

Again I assume it is possible to do 2 mods with 1 image: Xonar's unlock and svl7's vBIOS mod:D

BTW. Is there only ES 3720QM unlocked or other OEM 38X0QM and 37X0QM processors are unlocked too?

Are you planning to unlock any MSI GE-series laptop?

Take off 2 RAM sticks. Try to turn laptop on then shut it off holding power button. Do power drain (unplug and hold power button for 5 seconds). Put ONE memory stick in slot 1 and try to turn it on.

Please tell about your results.

What I currently think is that it is smth with the memory. Try to find 2GB 1333Mhz RAM at home.

What RAM do you have??

I would go with the 650m, t has higher memory bandwidth and better fill-rate and higher stock clocks,.

Did you see that it is quite opposite here? This Gt640M is GDDR5 with higher bandwidth while 650M is with only GDDR3.

I know it's old thread but I would pick 640M for sure.

I am for Nvidia. It is like Intel in the processors and Windows in the OSes. You feel that they have a plan for the future while AMD is trying to survive and still be somehow in competition. Nvidia creates new technologies while AMD is trying to clone it. It is always behind the Nvidia.

How many complaints did I hear about AMD driver? A lot! While only complaints about Nvidia's drivers were about Beta drivers. Almost never about WHQL.
