Test MSI GTX portable GT70 680

After the test version of the GTX 675 M, this is the Ultimate version of GT70 is happening now at the farm, and with it, the new GTX 680 M Nvidia Kepler. A map on paper, looks very very bad. What performance can we expect from this new version of the Dell Latitude E6400 Battery ? Response in our columns.

We continue tested MSI machines, and by the way, the latest graphics cards from Nvidia M. Today is the last chain link upscale chameleon that we test, the GTX 680 M, a model which, for once, is derived from Kepler.

Above all, the technical characteristics of the beast:

Limp in the beautiful, we have the bundle, which includes: a backpack MSI black and red mouse for Gamer, various booklets (manual, warranty, first use), the license Seven, and the charger, rather very large . The bundle is quite big, it's good.

Nothing changes here, our GT70 is still and always the same. Its measurements of 428 x 288 x 55 mm and weight of 3.9 pounds affirmation that we are facing a transportable with battery. In short, the archetype of Gamer notebook.

For a laptop Dell Inspiron N4010 Battery that wants Gamer, you'll see that closed, it is rather the discretion that is not displeasing to us. The top cover is mainly made of brushed aluminum and MSI logo is attached as a chrome lettering. On the sides, there is the matte black plastic of high quality, which has worked well and is of different ways: smooth, glittery finish or brushed aluminum. Some shapes and edges are present, but is nothing very extravagant. The GT70 is very simple, like its cousins.

At the front of the GT70, we diodes activity with: Bluetooth, Wifi, load, watch and hdd activity.

On the left side of the GT70 are: two input lines, a microphone input, headphone output (all with gold plated connectors), USB 3.0, card reader 7 in 1, two USB 3.0 ports and finally a large ventilation grille.

At the rear, there was again a large air vent, with his little sister fictitious, HDMI output, an E-SATA jack, VGA output, Ethernet in 1000, the DC-IN and finally Kensington Lock.

It ends on the right with the Blu Ray / DVD burner that does not EJECT button, and is followed by two new USB 2.0 ports.

Below, we have: 4 large rubber feet, a light gray grille that hides the Sub, a large removable cover that hides the configuration and finally the Dell Inspiron N5010 Battery, 9-cell model of 7800 mA 87 Wh.

Under the cover, which protects the bowels of the beast, we can see: 1 Western Digital 750 GB HDD 7200 trs, the GTX 680m 4GB GDDR5 in his sarcophagus and three aluminum heatpipes, the 3610 QM under his aluminum radiator and heat pipes, the fan will extract the hot air from all that, the memory 1600 MHz and the Great Raid, which takes the form of a PCB which hosts two m-Sata SSD 64GB Sandisk RAID 0.

The opening screen is simply pulling it upwards. The two hinges, good size, good strength and deliver a good retention of the screen. The slab rests in a glossy black frame and matt which includes a webcam P. 720 Micro is associated with a webcam. The slab has the widescreen resolution of 1920 x 1080 Full HD so. Treatment of the slab is dull, and rendering the latter is rather good for the morning, with viewing angles than good. In the lower part are: Power On, the hotkeys, HP Pavilion DM4 Battery, keyboard and touchpad.

First a word on the webcam, which delivers a fairly basic model for 720p.

Now let the rest and especially the keyboard is a big part. It measures 34.7 x 10.5 cm, and key features mostly 1.5 x 1.5 cm. It is AZERTY, is chiclet type and features a SteelSeries logo. It is fully backlit, backlight and is fully configurable, with 3 zones, and no less than 7 colors and 5 shades per color. Suffice to say that you can make your custom keyboard. Now to the Fn button will: switch the display, turn off the HP 484170-001 Battery touchpad, configure a function to your liking, go into ECO mode, activate the Webcam, Wifi enabled, Bluetooth enabled, go to sleep, increase the brightness (9 levels, from low to good), increase / decrease / mute. Under the keyboard, near the touchpad, another key will disable the touchpad. Let us talk about this keyboard. Well, quite honestly, it is probably one of the best chiclet we've seen so far. The keys offer excellent meeting and especially the rigidity of the keyboard is flawless, even in the center. In short, it is a keyboard top marmoset.

The touchpad now: it measures 8.5 x 4.5 cm. It has vertical and horizontal lifts, offers good glide but slightly rough and clicks are good, but requires a bit of strength left. Overall, this is not bad.

It ends with the buttons above the keyboard, we have: Power On, which takes the form of a shield again, then touch keys for quick access. The P1 button that you can program the way you want, the Cinema Pro button, the button "Boost Cooler" which allows the laptop to ventilate MAX button backlight keyboard, hotkey WiFi and bluetooth, Press "Display" to extinguish it, and then the eject button of the optical drive.

Once running, we discover the different diodes in shades of red, the red backlit keyboard, and the slab that offers a really good record. The machine starts in a good silence, and once again we congratulate MSI and DynAudio for the audio portion, which is once again completely baffling for a portable machine. It has treble, mid, bass, a little power and excellent made. Bravo bravo.

For some CPU, HDD, SSD, it does not change base. The Dell Inspiron 14R CPU is a Core i7 3610 QM, so the Ivy Bridge family. It runs at 2.3 GHz base and 3.3 GHz in Turbo on a single core. It is engraved in 22 nm, gets 8 MB of L3 cache and has a TDP of 45 watts. Then, to support the processor found a chipset HM77 and 3 x 4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz CL11. The graphic part is it very recent and 28 nm, as derived from Kepler. The GTX 680 M is offered and no less than 1344 SP, 32 ROPs, all at 771 MHz. Mémoir is the type GDDR5 256-bit, for 4 GB 3600 MHz. Faced with 580 million, we have the right to a big change, because we are this time on a GTX 670 Desktop equivalent at lower speeds.

At the CPU and RAM, we see that we are in the middle, with a machine that normally score of 3610 QM 12GB of DDR3 1600 MHz. On the GPU, once again we say that we suffer too young BETA drivers and software too old, because 680 million can not do better than the 580 million in this fiscal year. By cons, facing the generation 6xx M, we see that the 680 takes the lead.

In PC Mark Vantage which wants more time, the logic is respected. Our new GT70 takes first place at all levels, except at the SSD, but only slightly. We see here that the entire machine is able to override all other models. Even the GPU score progresses, good news for the games to come.

Let's start with the Dell Latitude E5420 Battery SSD. SUB HD Tune, we find an average of 617.7 MB / sec to a maximum of 753.1 MB / s and 378.6 MB / sec minimum, while reading. Large MB / sec, especially as we 64KB access time, because RAID is higher than on a conventional SSD with 0322 ms. It is far from a 16.7 ms HDD. ATTO as a minimum, the Super RAID sends strong, with 58 MB / sec write and 74 MB / sec minimum. Max, we have the 396 MB / sec write and 975 MB / sec reading. In short, it works hard, but the Super RAID is not always constant, we see that 16 KB, flange reading it, probably because of Shunk Size.

In Crystal, sequentially, there is 895 MB / sec read and 366 MB / sec writing. In 512 KB, down on a lot with 230 MB / sec read and 30 MB / sec writing. 4-KB, we are 16 MB / sec read and 18 MB / sec writing. These figures are not the best, but are much higher than HDD. MSI offers an interesting solution technically, but it is not perfect.

A word on the HDD storage, which provides 4 MB / sec read / write minimum 128 MB / sec for reading and writing to the max, which is satisfactory.

And also move to 3D, indicating once again that we use BETA drivers, which do not yet far from the onboard graphics in the Dell Inspiron E1505 Battery.

In 2006, we have more than 1400 points compared to the 675 million, 3,000 points compared to 670 million and no less than 5350 point towards the 580 M. The scores thus progressing in the right direction and in Vantage , it becomes even more account of the advantage offered by this new CG, which provides 25% of perfs in addition with respect to the M. .. 675 and almost 30% against the 580 M. .. In 3D Mark 2011, you see, the score is almost double the 675 M and 580 M. Is it necessary to specify more things? In the 3D Mark, the 680 million strong market, especially in the latest versions of the bench.

In game, there are pretty much in the same situation. The game is more recent, the more FPS climb.

SF4 rest may be the best-evident because the framerate is huge base. By cons, and towards the 675 M, as soon as you pass under Dirt2, the score explodes, as in TrackMania, where we are almost 50% more ... Dirt under 3.0, it is some 33% better in Crysis 2 and 42%, no less. And that we are still with BETA drivers ...

Level of autonomy, this is a great surprise, especially in load or GT70 is 1 h 40, which is pretty impressive. In the office, you can count of5 h 43 minutes ... Impressive.

Clearly, it heats, we can not say otherwise. But for the moment, difficult to draw a true balance because of its CG is not supported.

By cons, we can tell you one thing, the PC is very silenieux in office, but over the helmet is mandatory. However, the noise level is not higher than with the GT70 in 675 M.

Conclusion

Broadly, you already know the conclusion of this article, because we know this laptop Dell Inspiron 17R Battery in wide and across, through many variations that we have already tested. That day we had the right to the cream of the cream, and we can say we are not disappointed, because the performance is more than first class, thanks to the 680 million who enjoys overpowering all other components upscale the GT70. Autonomy is the same satisfactory 17.3 inches of this type. For cons, the GT70 is clearly audible in charge, and above all, it is expensive, very expensive, very expensive, € 2,299 in advertised price.
