Any word on GT80 Titan release?

I'm really curious to know approximately when the GT80 Titan will be released. Is there any information on this? Google search only came up with websites announcements back in October predicting it would be released near the end of 2014, last year. Soon? Are we talking a month, couple months, 6 months+, end of 2015? It would be really nice to know so I can plan my new laptop purchase, my current one is getting old. Thanks.

Here's the latest media review about GT80, let's check it out!

Yeah today Newegg reviewed it on their youtube channel, and put it up on their website for a release date of Jan 14th.
$3,299.
I was hoping they'd have a model around $2500 at most. Still beats Alienware.

Any GT80 Titan or GT72 owners WITH the i7-4980HQ, help me out

Hello. I'll be rather blunt. I want to test the 4980HQ CPU's overclocking, TDP limit, current limit, and voltage limit potentials.
The GT72 and GT80 Titan laptops are among the only ones on the market that've had enough love for someone to actually own one, and I've already had users test the 4710HQ and 4720HQ chips for me already.
Basically, the point is that the HQ line appears to be TERRIBLE at increasing TDP limits, Current limits and possibly even Voltage limits. The options are available to tune in intel XTU, however adjusting the sliders does absolutely nothing.
Can anyone with either of these machines reply here and basically be my guinea pig so I can put proper information in the mobile i7 CPU guide in my signature?
In general, I need you to run a couple stress tests/benches like Intel's stress test or Linpack or something. In general, I need to see you drawing above your short power turbo boost max of 57W and not dropping overclocked values on your CPU under load. Some examples I have are below; please use HWiNFO in "sensors only" mode to check for TDP and clock speed per core. I'll give two image examples below of my CPU having a maximum draw of well over the stock TDP (check the maximum column in HWiNFO for the Linpack bench as I don't run the screenshot program during its bench):
and
If you lose clock speeds or get otherwise limited, please let me know. It helps to set your minimum processor state in windows power settings to "100%". I believe using the default "high performance" plan does this automatically.
Sorry, I have no idea how to use spoiler tags to hide the images on this forum.

My Titan died!!! Does the GT80 Titan have a reset switch?

Greetings,
When I purchased my GT80 Titan notebook a few weeks ago, I knew that it didn't have a user-removable battery. But I was shocked that I couldn't find a reset switch when I needed one!
After working late Friday night, I turned off my Titan. The next morning on Saturday I tried to turn it back on but nothing happened. Nothing lit up. The display was dark, the power button stayed dark, the keyboard was dark and the WiFi, Power and SSD/HD LEDs along the front were all dark.
I had been using the AC adapter Friday and the battery was fully charged when I shut the Titan down that night. The AC adapter had been connected all night and was on and working now. The Titan had also been connected to my network via gigabit ethernet cable.
Since it had rained Friday night, I wondered if there had been any electric surges or if static had built up inside the notebook. I doubted the AC adapter would be the source because it was plugged into a full sine-wave UPS and was well protected from any irregularities on the power lines. That left the ethernet cable which connected to a router in my cable modem as a possible source.
There was just one other possibility (that I could think of): a defective lid switch. If the lid switch had failed, my Titan might "think" the lid is closed even when it is not. This could also prevent it from turning on. I hoped this wasn't the case because my Titan was not even 2 weeks old and had been handled like a baby. I expected more robust construction for a flagship product like this.
Since it was Saturday, I couldn't get help from MSI. The problem was: I needed my Titan to finish a job that weekend. What to do?
Normally, the first thing to do would be to unplug the notebook. Remove its battery. Press and hold the power button for 10-30 seconds to discharge any static present. Wait a few more minutes to allow any energized capacitors on the motherboard to "loose" their energy. Then re-install the battery, hook up the AC and try to start it again. This usually solves the static problem.
But that's a non-starter with the Titan because you can't remove the battery. So I hunted for a reset switch. You know the kind: a tiny hole through which you insert an unbent paperclip to press a tiny button which temporarily disconnects the battery from the motherboard. But I couldn't find one. The only paperclip hole I could find was the one in the blu-ray drive (to mechanically eject the tray).
I thought: "Maybe a key combination will do a reset." So I tried pressing and holding the Power, GPU and Fan buttons in various combinations but they didn't seem to do anything. Finally, out of ideas, I did what I didn't want to do and started to open the case of my Titan.
I removed the bottom panel (12 screws) and top panel and carefully examined both sides of the motherboard as best I could, looking for a reset switch---but never found one.
Next, I carefully examined the battery cables (left front corner when viewed from the bottom). Normally, you have to remove the left fan and GPU heat diffuser in order to access the battery cable connector on the motherboard. This would be a major job that I wasn't willing to undertake. And this is the only way to disconnect the battery as far as I can tell.
But it looked like there was enough room to disconnect the battery cable without removing the fan or heat diffuser. Sure enough, with care and a thin flat-blade screwdriver, I was able to push the connecter away from the motherboard, removing it. Mission accomplished---battery disconnected!!!
Next, I pressed and held the power button for 60 seconds (with all the trouble this took---I wanted to be sure I discharged the static). Then I let my Titan sit for over 40 minutes with the battery disconnected so there would be plenty of time for an residual energy to dissipate from the capacitors on the motherboard.
At last, it was time for reassembly. It was trickier to reconnect the battery connecter than to disconnect it. You have to be very careful not to push on any wires---just push on the plastic part of the connector with the screwdriver. Once you get the connector aligned properly with its socket on the motherboard, it will slide in easily.
Then I replaced the bottom and top covers and tried to turn on my Titan. It still wouldn't start. Next, I connected the AC adapter and, Voila!, the power button worked and it started. As soon as Windows had booted up, I checked the battery's power level. It was at 98%---almost a full charge just as I had expected.
I was very glad to resurrect my Titan on Saturday when MSI tech support wasn't available. And, any time rain is in the forecast, I'll be careful to disconnect my ethernet cable after I've turned off my Titan. But I was very angry at not finding a reset switch of any kind. Surely this notebook has one and I just didn't see it. Who would build a computer device of any kind with a non-removable battery and fail to provide a reset switch. It's unthinkable to me.
So I have to think that there must be some easier way to "reset" a GT80 Titan if it ever visits static twilight land again. If someone reading this topic can contribute some information, it would be greatly appreciated.
WARNING: What I did to my Titan (taking it apart and disconnecting the battery) is NOT recommended for novice users. This requires great care because many of its components are highly susceptible to static damage. You need to ground yourself to the chassis while you work on it so that you have the same potential as it does. If this really is the only way to "reset" a GT80 Titan, then you'll need to take it to someone qualified to do it. Don't turn your expensive Titan into a brick!!!
Kind regards, David

Quote from: chc on 18-May-15, 12:07:19
If you meant EC reset, you just need to press power button for about 12 seconds.
Thanks chc,
Every bit of new information is helpful toward documenting the "undocumented" features of the Titan. But the EC reset is not the same thing that I'm talking about.
Most folks seem to be missing the subject. There are a variety of things that can happen to a notebook computer that make it impossible to turn off or restart (in the Windows "restart" sense). The most common problem is a software problem. When a turned-on notebook "hangs" or "freezes", pressing and holding the power button for several seconds will force a shut-down. Afterward, you can start the computer again and it should boot up normally---unless there is a hardware problem.
But this is not what I'm talking about.
There are two battery systems in most notebooks. There is a small non-rechargeable battery on the motherboard that provides enough power to maintain the clock and system BIOS settings. And there is a large rechargeable battery to power the rest of the computer.
When the BIOS is replaced with a newer version, the new BIOS will often be out-of-sync with the embedded controller (EC). The embedded controller affects lots of things like the cooling fans, some keyboard functions, WiFi, bluetooth, GPUs, etc. In some extreme cases, a notebook computer with a new BIOS may not turn on until the EC is reset. MSI recommends that the EC be reset any time the BIOS is replaced---it should be done immediately afterward.
How do you reset the EC? Remove the notebook's main battery. Obviously, this won't work for the Titan and other notebooks that have non-removable batteries. In this case, some notebook manufacturers provide an "EC reset" switch for some models---but I don't know if these switches disconnect the main battery completely---they may only remove power to the EC circuit. If the reset does truly disconnect the main battery from all circuits, then it is sometimes labelled a "battery reset" switch (this is the name Toshiba uses).
Evidently the Titan takes a different approach---according to chc, holding down the Titan's power button for about 12 seconds will reset the EC (I'm assuming this only works while the Titan is turned off---otherwise it would simply trigger a forced-shutdown as described above).
But this is not what I'm talking about, either. (Besides, I tried holding down the power button for over a minute and the computer still would not start up.)
The problem I'm talking about is a build-up of static electricity inside the computer. This is the same static electricity that shocks you when you touch your finger to another object after sliding your shoes across a carpeted floor. You see, notebook computers operate without a connection to electrical ground---so they can pick up a static charge more easily than "grounded" computing and electronic devices. The static charge may not be large enough to permanently harm the notebook but it may be large enough to interfere with its operation.
When can this happen? During a thunderstorm or any time the notebook is located in an environment where a lot of static electricity is present. It also happens in space because there is no "ground". As I understand it, it is a periodic source of trouble aboard the international space station.
To correct the problem, you usually need to do two things: (1) Remove the main power sources from the notebook. This includes unplugging the AC adapter and removing the main battery. (2) Press and hold the power button for 10-30 seconds to give the static electricity a path to the power control circuit where it can (hopefully) be safely discharged.
The problem with the Titan and other MSI computers with non-removable batteries, is there is no convenient way to remove the main battery. Therefore, if static electricity builds up, there is no convenient way to discharge it.
Now I can't be certain that the reason my Titan wouldn't turn on two weeks ago was due to static electricity. It was a weekend and my troubleshooting tools were limited. Perhaps the EC decided on its own to go crazy. Perhaps something in the power supply is intermittent and failed for the first time---and I'll have to wait for it to fail again before it can be identified. But the conditions for a static electrical problem were present. There had been a rainstorm that night after the Titan has been shut off. The Titan was connected via ethernet cable to an incoming cable modem and line from Comcast. And the symptoms pointed to a static electrical problem.
Until I disconnected the battery's power cable from the Titan's motherboard, my Titan was dead as a doorknob. It gave absolutely no sign of life when trying to turn it on. It was as if the power switch no longer worked.
So, to my mind, what the Titan needs (as well as all MSI notebooks with non-removeable batteries) is an independent reset switch that will allow the user to temporarily disconnect the main battery for as long as the user presses the switch. If an "EC reset" switch will do this, fine. But I don't think it will work if the power switch serves double-duty as an EC reset because the user needs to disconnect the battery at the same time he/she is holding down the power button to dissipate static electricity. I believe the Titan's power switch cannot do both at the same time because I tried it multiple times and it never helped my Titan.
Perhaps there is some other method to dissipate a static electrical build-up. If there is and it is easier to implement---then I hope it is provided in future products like the Titan.
Kind regards, David

HT4818 Is there any word on when apple will support Windows 8 in bootcamp?

Hi all,
Is there any word on if Apple will officially support W8 using Bootcamp (and not Parrallels etc)?
I assume that it will happen once W8 is officially released in October however I was wondering if anyone has any official word.
Otherwise, if a clean install of the Win 8 RTM is already able to be done via bootcamp can someone point me to some instructions (the only reason I dont want to do it myself is because all the drivers from BC are for Win 7)

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Apple will support it when Windows 8 is released. You can install Windows 8 at your risk, because Boot Camp doesn't support it now

Any word on a replacement for mavericks

I'm wondering if anyone has heard any word about a replacement for Mavericks. Even after this long using it I still think it is a really poor os. If it were not such a chore I woud revert back to Mountain lion or Snow Leopard.

No one here has any idea of when Apple will release the next version of OS X.
I have found Mavericks to be significatantly better then its preciessors.
Maybe if you tell us why you think Mavericks is worst, we might be able to help you.

Any Word on on Update?!

I have been so excited about upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion - but after reading all these forums and all the problems people are having, I've been scared to go for it! I have an early 2009 MacPro (8-core) and from what I can tell it will be compatible (except for a few features that I don't care about anyway).
So it's been a few weeks now that ML has been out. Any word on when an update will be released to address some of these issues people are having? Trying to decide whether to wait for an update or go ahead and try and see what happens... (After a SuperDuper clone of course!)

Not many people come to a support forum to post how good everything is going.
Oh, there's some regular agent provocateurs who like to come on here and boast that 'everything's fine' after every new upgrade to wind up those suffering problems. I'd name them, but that'd probably be breaking the ToU (they'll probably show themselves in this thread before long anyway).

GT80 Titan SLI Awarded Editors' Choice by Computer Shopper

GT80 Titan 094 - Lag when saving?

On occasion when using a text editor, notepad for example, or attempting to save a .PDF that I am viewing in the browser I choose 'Save' to write to disk and there is measurable delay, ~20+ seconds, for the Save File Dialog prompt to appear and the Title Bar on the application displays 'Not Responding' if you attempt to click anywhere in the application window (caused by the save dialog running on the UI thread?). This does not happen very often but is a bit annoying when it does happen.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Hi rpisarzjr,
20 seconds sounds like a long delay. I see a short delay occasionally because I turned off indexing on all four of the SSDs in my GT80 Titan. I think I left it on for the HD but I haven't been using it. The SSDs are so fast, that you usually don't notice much of a delay with indexing off. But I don't recall seeing anything nearly as long as 20 seconds.
There are any number of culprits that could be responsible for the delay. The trick to tracking down and eliminating them is being able to reproduce the problem. If the problem is intermittent, then troubleshooting could be a long process. Some sources of file "Save" delays could be security software (like antivirus, antispyware and antimalware software). Other sources can be the web browser and plug-ins that you choose to use.
I use Firefox and I've noticed that it will gradually slow if I have it open for hours, opening and closing lots of tabs. The solution is usually to exit Firefox, then restart it. Sometimes, restarting Windows, itself, helps.
If you're able to reliably reproduce the problem, I recommend using MSConfig or your favorite startup manager to disable all non-Microsoft services. Then add them back one-by-one until you identify the source of the slow-down. Then research the offending service to discover what is happening.
Kind regards, David

GT80 Titan 094 - Realtek HD Audio Manager

On the Speakers -> Speaker Configuration tab the Speaker Configuration drop-down only lists stereo as an option yet in various online forums and tutorials I see options for Dolby 5.1, THX 7.1 and other theater level surround sound choices.
The stereo option appears even when I have four external speakers and subwoofer connected.
Is there a driver update or something else I need to upgrade in order to have support for these other sound options?

Hi rpisarzjr,
My GT80 2QE (Titan-001) is the same and this is perfectly normal. I think part of the problem you're having is the unclear labeling of the tabs in the Realtek HD Audio Manager.
The Realtek DSP (digital signal processor) in our Titans has two audio "outputs": (1) analog and (2) digital. Each one appears as an output "device". The analog output is labeled "Speakers" and feeds the stereo headphone jack and the built-in speakers. The built-in speakers are only stereo, too, even though they have five drivers (two full-range transducers per each of the two stereo channels and one subwoofer that is shared by both stereo channels).
Some notebooks include analog surround sound outputs and therefore have Dolby Digital and/or DTS controls in their Audio Manager software. But it is rare and our GT80 Titans do not. The tab labeled "Speakers" is the analog tab. Since the Titan does not include analog outputs for surround sound, you will not see any surround sound options under the "Speakers" tab.
The only way to get true surround sound out of the Realtek DSP in the Titan is via its digital output. It uses an S/PDIF optical jack which must be connected via Toslink optical cable to a complimentary digital input to an external DSP. This could be a home theatre receiver, HDTV with built-in surround sound decoding, or a high-end computer speaker system with its own DSP.
When you use the Realtek DSP's digital output for Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound, the Realtek DSP serves only as a "pass-through" device to send the unprocessed digital surround sound signal out the S/PDIF connector. That's why you must have an external DSP to decode it to the analog audio that your external speakers will need.
It is not normal to find any digital surround sound controls in the Realtek HD Audio Manager software unless Dolby Digital Live has been activated. The Realtek DSP in our Titans is capable of generating a Dolby Digital Live signal from a non-surround stereo source but MSI apparently didn't license the technology and did not provide the controls for it in the Realtek HD Audio Manager. However, if you search the internet, you will find some hacks that enable you to activate it, yourself. Just remember: The only way you'll hear any digital surround sound is with the digital output using an external DSP that can decode the Dolby Digital (or DTS) signal. None of this will benefit the analog ("Speakers") output because it is hardwired only for stereo operation. Plus, the built-in amplifier in our Titans has only two channels and only does stereo.
Don't confuse "fake" surround sound for the real deal. For example, MSI's new Nahimic software will create a "fake" surround sound effect which you can hear over stereo speakers or headphones. It messes with the phasing of the two-channel audio signal to trick your ears into thinking the sound stage is quasi-surround. But these are just gimmicks which add distortion and are worthless in my opinion.
Unfortunately, this stuff is way more complicated than it needs to be.
Our Titans also have digital audio outputs as a part of their HDMI and mDP ports. These are the video outputs from our NVidia GPUs. If you total all of the built-in audio outputs in our Titans, we have five. One digital audio output each for the three video outputs, one digital audio output for the Realtek DSP, and one analog ("Speakers") output from the Realtek DSP which feeds both the headphone jack and the internal speakers. Each of the four digital outputs can pass a full 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound signal.
Finally, the digital audio is usually controlled in the application where the audio originates---not with the Realtek HD Audio Manager. For example, when I play a blu-ray movie, the surround sound audio controls are in my Cyberlink PowerDVD software. The Dolby Digital or DTS selection is made there along with the speaker configuration.
Kind regards, David

GT80 Titan SLI – the keyboard

Just revealed at CES earlier this month is the all-new MSI GT80 Titan SLI – the world’s first gaming notebook with a mechanical keyboard. We’ve spoken about it at length at the launch itself, and it is pretty eye-catching, so it didn’t go unnoticed even for the most battle-hardened media visiting.
In any case – you know about the GT80 Titan SLI, it comes with dual 980M graphics and high-power CPUs, but the party piece is its mechanical keyboard. For now, we’re offering the GT80 with Cherry MX Brown switches, but for the future, there might be different offerings, such as MX Red.
The reasons we’ve chosen the Brown switches can be seen on the picture above. Cherry itself positions it as an “advanced gaming switch”, and being a gaming notebook, it’s a bit of a no-brainer. It is also a silent solution, unlikely to upset anyone unnecessarily.

PC Gamer give GT80 Titan a high score of 85

Quotes:
• Where MSI really went bold was with its keyboard and trackpad. Eschewing the chiclet-style keys found on so many mobile systems, MSI implements a red-backlit SteelSeries mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches. It takes some getting used to, but the light actuation force is ideal for fast-paced action. And they sound so satisfying clicking away.
• The GT80 Titan has a great build quality. It sports a black brushed aluminum lid with red highlights that match the keyboard’s lighting. A thickness measurement of almost two inches creates plenty of room for exhaust vents on the sides and back.
• …the GT80 Titan SLI-001 is a purpose-built powerhouse. Its graphics hardware easily drives the 18.4” PLS panel at 1920x1080 using the top settings in any game you choose, almost begging for a 4K screen or three panels in Surround.
• You’ll either love or hate the SteelSeries mechanical keyboard. We began our review apprehensive, but quickly learned to love the clicky key presses in the notebook chassis.
• Best of all, MSI gives you access to its guts through a removable panel secured by a couple of screws. Getting to a notebook’s serviceable parts has never been easier...

Hi DarnedNut,
Both models at your link look identical. I've seen this kind of thing before where a vendor lists the same product twice by accident, each with a different price. My guess is one is an older listing that they forgot to delete when they created the newer one.
I've bought a lot of stuff from Newegg and continue to use them. But I'm cautious with them because I've seen them make these kind of mistakes before and I'd hesitate to place such a big purchase with them because of it.
My company purchased its GT80 Titan-001 from Xotic PC of Lincoln, Nebraska. The GT80 Titan-009 that you're interested in is way over-priced at Newegg. They are asking more than MSI's own MSRP! That seems like gouging to me.
Here is the listing for the exact same computer at Xotic PC: http://www.xoticpc.com/msi-gt80-titan009-980m-sli-bbackorderb-p-7869.html. Their price is US$3699.00 which is almost $501 less than the best price at Newegg!!! Xotic PC has outstanding support and I highly recommend them. (And I'm not affiliated with them in any way and will receive no benefit from this recommendation.)
Plus, Xotic PC will customize the GT80 in a variety of ways, if you desire. We had them move the two 128 GB M.2 SSDs from slots 1-2 to slots 3-4 and install two new 512 GB M.2 SSDs from Micron to slots 1-2. We also had them downgrade the OS to Windows 7 Ultimate using one of our unused licenses. And they configured two custom RAID arrays to our specification. They did an excellent job.
Kind regards, David

Considering that there have been several versions of the product released, I figured there would've been a pattern of upgrade versus full version pricing. I haven't ever bought it before, so I figured those who had been familiar with the product would have an idea of what the norm is for a pricing structure.
The "App Store" seems to have changed all that. There are no more "Upgrades" only the single $199 price.
If you've purchased Logic over the years, including updates (literally thousands of dollars) you pay the same $199 price as a new user. It simplifies distribution for Apple.
Also, Apple gives out no information when updates or releases are coming, or if they're coming at all.

If we were to liken the MSI Gaming notebook lineup to weapons, the GE62 would probably be a SCAR, the GT72 a Minimi while the GT80 Titan would probably best be represented by an M1 Abrams tank.
Despite the war related talk, our relations with media when talking to the GT80 Titan has been very calm and peaceful – maybe thanks to all the nice things they keep saying about it once they’ve gotten their hands on it. Below follows a few excerpts from GT80 reviews around the world.
“We’ve never laid eyes (or fingers) on a gaming laptop quite like the GT80. With awesome SLI gaming power, a huge screen, and a true mechanical keyboard, this mega-machine sets a new standard of dream machine—so long as you don’t have to carry it very far.” – Computer Shopper http://www.computershopper.com/laptops/reviews/msi-gt80-titan-sli/(page)/5#product-review
“With its face-melting performance, a fantastic mechanical keyboard and upgrade-friendly chassis, the MSI GT80 Titan SLI is the gaming laptop to beat.”

“It’s easy to see why we’re so impressed; GT80 Titan SLI is outstanding in many ways, it pushes the boundaries for all-out mobile performance and achieves this while delivering a catalogue of innovative features.”
