The spec shows this unit comes with 8GB therefore the 4GB x 2 are underneath the keyboard.
You can add 2 more of 4GB/8GB modules.

MSi GT60 0NE Ram upgrade

Hi, I've just bought The MSi GT60.
Everything are running smooth, and I'm thinking of upgrading my RAM.
It comes with a 2x4GB RAM and I want to upgrade it to 16GB of RAM.
So here's the RAM that comes with my GT60:
I'm planning to upgrade it with Vengeance® — 4GB High Performance Laptop Memory Upgrade Kit (CMSX4GX3M1A1600C9).
Can I upgrade it with 2x Vengeance® — 4GB so i could have 16gb (Will it decrease the performance)? Or should I discard the one that comes with the notebook and replace all of it with the Corsairs Vangeance?

Quote from: Warner on 20-October-12, 09:00:21
The laptop can support up to 32GB total if i7 processor is used.
DDR3-1333/1600 are supported by the processor.
Try to use identical memory modules in the system to allow better compatibility.
Sincerely,
Warner
Ok, thanks...

Insight the Ultimate Weapon, MSI GT60 2PE Dominator Pro 3K IPS gaming notebook!

Just hands on this ultimate gaming machine of MSI GT60 2PE Dominator Pro 3K IPS version with Super Pack from the market, it took me over $2500 but really more than worth of it after I got great gaming experience!

One on the left is the GT60 Dominator Pro 3K IPS, the right side one is full of surprise! These gaming style accessories only comes with Super Pack version, not every GT60 Dominator Pro will have these great gaming gears together.
The gift box comes with Gaming headset, Gaming mouse, Gaming pad and Top Player Top Choice stamp tool. SteelSeries is really great and famous on gaming gear devices; MSI is also great on gaming notebooks, they are too professional to co-work with SteelSeries!
The SteelSeries KINZU gaming mice, 3200dpi/1600dpi, very accurate optical mouse for 3K resolution monitor.
Put the mouse on the mouse pad, with the fancy Dragon tattoo makes me feel I am ready to play games, Top Player Top Choice!
The SteelSeries SIBERIA V2 gaming mouse, this is high quality headset and customized version for MSI gaming notebooks with fancy MSI dragon tattoo!!
Take a look on the customized artwork, the dragon tattoo on the metal cover of both set, and the Dragon gaming logo in the headset as well, that makes this headset more gaming style and looks powerful!
This Gaming headset belongs to MSI notebook accessories! The sound quality is really good, detail is clear on mid and high frequency, subwoofer is powerful and really suitable for gaming, even you wear for hours still feel comfortable and stable, overall quality makes me feel it’s over $150 value!
Very special stamp tool, I would like to put chocolate on this and stamp on the Dragon Gaming Cake!!
Let’s start to reveal the first lady, no, the real steel of GT60 Dominator Pro!!
Look at the surface of the design, Dragon logo with light from darkness on the cover, and the metallic material on top cover and palm rest side, which makes the GT60 Dominator Pro looks high quality and gaming style.
Take a look on the cover side, the Dragon Gaming Logo is really fancy and stylish with backlit. Brushed metal design makes the cover looks high quality and solid.
Sound by Dynaudio speaker system, the best famous mobile sound system on this top level GT60 Dominator Pro gaming notebook is really amazing, great on sound detail and real good acoustic of human vocal and great sound stage presents!
We put all the accessories together and boot up to check further detail on GT60 Dominator Pro 3K IPS version! The display quality is vivid.
Let’s take a look on the detail spec., 384GB SSD Super RAID, Intel Core i7 4800MQ @ 2.7GHz, top level GTX880M 8GB GDDR5 graphics, 32GB RAM. It’s all top level and could use for 3 more years of ultra-quality games!
When first time to use MSI gaming notebooks, you will feel amazing about the SteelSeries keyboard is really good typing feeling and solid based. It comes with multi-color backlit and move the windows key to right side, that really professional design as a gaming notebook keyboard, and the only one with real gaming design.
Take a look in the SteelSeries Engine, the exclusive gaming software only for MSI gaming notebooks. This macro keys software built in Keypress macro, Text macro, 1 key launch program and Disable key function, besides F1~F12, all other keys could be used for macros setup, and 4 layers of keyboards o setup 4 sets of macros with 4 sets of different backlit combinations, so this is really a great software for smarter and stylish gaming experience.
With CPU-Z tool to check, the upgraded Intel Core i7 4800MQ @ 2.7GHz, TDP 47W, 4 Cores 8 Threads is really great performance, CPU Boost could up to 3.5~3.7GHz.
Because of Core i7 4800MQ and GTX880M, the 3D benchmarks comes with breakthrough scores than ever on the notebook platform, 3D Mark Fire Strike: P5351 pts.
The GT60 Dominator Pro on 3D Mark 11 gains P8461 pts, it’s whole new level of the gaming notebooks, and It’s over 15% faster than GTX780M!
The 3D Mark Vantage boost up to P33115 scores, it’s 14% faster than GTX780M!
Then we check on other software of DirectX11 3D performance, the Heaven Benchmark is world’s 1st software tool to test DirectX11 effects, this time we use Heaven Benchmark version 3.0 to test.
Set the Tessellation on normal to enable DirectX11 effects and run Benchmark, the Full HD resolution could get 78.2 FPS(Frames Per Second) high score result.
Since this GT60 is 3K IPS panel edition, of course we have to try 3K resolution, you could see that the result block is smaller at 2880x1620 resolution, the result is 42.7 FPS with same setup, so we could say that 3K resolution will reduce over 45% of the FPS rate in this test, but GTX880M is too powerful, so still over 40FPS, and most games we need to get over 30 FPS to play and feel smoother, at least 20 FPS to play a game, if lower than 20 FPS, that will makes people feel lag obviously and feel dizzy easily.
Since we tried some benchmark, of course we have to try at least a famous game to the real world experience. Battlefield 4, the biggest FPS game title since end of 2013, is one of the heaviest loading games on PC platform.
First we made Battlefield 4 detail at 1920x1080 with Ultra Graphics Quality setup.
The gaming frames is 46 FPS, really smooth and around 20% faster than GTX780M.
Once we tune up the resolution to 2880x1620, the FPS drops a lot because the Ultra mode also set 4xMSAA (Anti-Aliasing), that will impact the performance a lot in higher resolution, also make graphics memory demand around 3GB~4GB, seems the 8GB GDDR5 with GTX880M is prepared for upcoming games with such as 3K or even higher resolutions!
We could see it’s about 24~28 FPS under 3K resolution with Ultra Graphics Quality, most time it will reduce over 40% FPS rate of the gaming performance.
Seems to set the Battlefield 4 with “High” graphics quality on 2880x1620 resolution is more suitable to play the game smoother in every theme.
It’s about 42 FPS, close to the 1920x1080 Ultra graphics quality. So if we want to play heavy loading games at 2880x1620 resolution, set to High graphics quality setup is a good option for 3K gaming!
After these 3D and gaming tests, let’s take a look on the temperature of the cooling system. The room temperature is 25 degree C, the temperature of fan out part is 71.2 degree C, it’s not a surprise because of GTX880M and Core i7 4800MQ, even it’s a bit lower than most gaming notebooks with this 2 combinations. The palm rest and keyboard side is 30.6 degree C, it’s really cool for users to hands on.
After the fabulous experience of great 3D performance, let’s take a look on the benefits of “Super RAID 2”, normal 2.5” HDD is about 80~100MB/s, single SSD is about 400~550MB/s, BUT, GT60 Dominator Pro boost over 1536MB/s and average is 1477MB/s, that’s 15x faster than single HDD, almost 3x faster than single SSD.
If we check on the AS SSD Benchmark tests, you could see more detail of the storage access performance is amazing, the Sequential read is 1116.76MB/s, write is 786.79MB/s. 4K-64Thrd read is 665.09MB/s, write is 461.18MB/s, it’s ultra fast!
The GT60 Dominator Pro 3K IPS edition comes with Killer Doubleshot LAN and WiFi, it provides faster response time of gaming experience, when you at different LAN/WiFi environment, Killer software will ask you to make an internet speed test, this will fine tune your LAN/WiFi for smoother and faster online experience.
MSI also got a new software tool called “Dragon Gaming Center”, this tool is also good for hardware monitor and utility launch tool. Also could show the status of Hybrid Power enable or disable.
The ultimate weapon for enthusiast gamers:
The GT60 2PE Dominator Pro 3K IPS version is extremely powerful, it comes with most of the features that a great gaming notebook could have, 3K IPS panel is really great effect of vision quality, SteelSeries keyboard with SSE is amazing for gamers to play their games smarter, Sound By Dybaudio present really good detail sound quality, Killer Doubleshot is faster for online gaming, of course the GTX880M is awesome for gamer to play Full HD even 3K resolution games, the backlit of Dragon logo and keyboard is really beautiful.
Conclusion:
The overall score I will give this GT60 2PE Dominator Pro 3K IPS edition with Super Pack is 95 out of 100, this is really great machine for any hard core gaming or power user usage, I would recommend any one to must-have this notebook if it’s affordable for you!!

Ok either you work for MSI or you changed the settings in 3dmark11. I only scored around 5K with my GT60 2PE 3k. Any idea why I'm scoring 3k below you? Laptop was plugged in btw. Also how can you enter bios settings with this laptop? I suspect that maybe the hybrid gpu thing is affecting my score, and the Pc is probably not fully utilizing the GTX 880M, maybe in bios I can disable the integrated CPU's video card??? Please let me know. Thanks.

MSI GT60 0NE-404US all games crash after 10 minutes of play?

Hi I've just recently purchased a MSI GT60 0NE-404US with gtx680m 4g video card, i7 3630m CPU and 12g of ram. I took it home and ran a few games on it, all of them after basically 10 minutes the game will crash and something along the lines of "the graphic driver has crashed and restarted". I've tried updating my video driver to the latest and rerolled to older drivers, none of that worked. I've used hardware monitor and tried to see the GPU temperature, they seem to be running at 50-60 degrees celsius if I turn the turbo fan on. I've tried running some benchmarking software to test out the stability of the 3d graphics but the same problem occurs. it looks like it's a drivers problem but I've tried all types of drivers and none of them worked.
Does anybody have any similar issues? This is a brandnew laptop and things like this shouldn't happen.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Nichrome gives some good advice. I'd follow his steps first but...
I kinda get the feeling that your video card is not any good and it's what is causing the issues. The fact that you've tried a few different driver revisions and it's crashing doing anything stressful seems to indicate that as well.
Most likely you'll need to contact MSI to do an RMA in the end.

MSI GT60 review for music production (former MacBook Pro user)

Due to the upgrade limitations of MBPr (Macbook Pro Retina) I decided to try Windows after 7 years of using OSX. I chose the MSI GT60 over a Mac product by a close Margin and I still have doubts about windows 8.
The GT60
The hardware:
1. The casing - coming from a Mac, this casing is disappointing. It's not cool, sexy or anything. It's "plastiky" and the design looks like something from the late 90s. you're not impressing any chicks with this one and it's nothing I'd take to Starbucks.
2. The Keyboard - Excellent. It has a nice feel and the lights are kinda cool, but don't make up for the ugly design.
3. The Mouse pad - too small and cheap looking. It tries to hang with a MBP mouse, but it's not as responsive and fluid.
4. Connections - I can't think of any other connections I would want.
5. Ram Capacity - Blows away the Mac at 32GB. This comes in handy for music projects loaded with plugins and is one of the major reasons I went for this box over a Mac.
6. Super raid 2 - This is another cool option Apples don't have in their laptops. The ability to add 3 ssds in addition to another storage drive really makes this a lucrative music machine. Loading samples quickly greatly improves workflow.
7. Screen - This screen is good, but vs a retina...well...you know.
8. Optical drive - Mine is ...strange...sometimes it works sometimes it don't. Maybe w firmware update will fix it?
Performance - I loaded a Cubase project that even my Older 12 core Mac Pro had to wrestle with. That Mac Pro had 40GB of ram. Well, this GT60 pass with flying colors and with the most resource hungry plugins loaded it operated at an average of 60% CPU and 10 of the 12 GB of ram. I'm interested to see if more ram may help improve performance and/or reduce CPU usage.
Heat Myth - I read in other forums (and ofcourse ASUS) of the
so called" heating issues with the MSI Laptops. I do believe, by theory the ASUS gaming box may run cooler, but all the jibba jabba of overheating I never experience. The GT60 is not loud and it's not hot.
Overall, I find this to be a cool laptop for music production but if I didn't need all the extra ram or drives I'd probably stick with a MBP. They look way cooler. If MSI had put this hardware inside of an enclosure like that GS70 (but bigger), It would be cool.

While this is a review, let me just comment on a few things....
Part of the reason that half of what you get is possible, is because of how large it is.
You wouldn't be able to get 3 mSATA SSD's if you didn't get a GT60/GT70.
You wouldn't be able to get 32 GB of RAM if you didn't get a GT60/GT70 (actually, I guess the GE60/GE70's can handle that too).
The GT series also has a more beefy video card that requires more cooling than the GE or GS series laptops.
Either way, the GT60 is a great notebook overall. The screen could be better, but it's not bad by any means either. Compared to many other similarly or higher priced notebooks, it's just as good or better IMHO.
The keyboard is actually very nice, and while the backlighting is somewhat gaudy at times, it's nice to be able to see the keys in the dark.
The biggest downfall (personally) is the screen hinge and the back of the screen and how flimsy it is. That's honestly my biggest gripe about the notebook. I always feel or think I'm going to break the screen when I open or close the notebook.
Have you messed with the built in sound card at all? Got any thoughts on that?

Compatibility Upgrade in MSI GT60-0NE

Hi i have a question in my MSI GT60 0NE-403US laptop.
it is that possible to upgrade my HDD to SSD?
if yes what brand and size is compatible? and theres a 2 slot of HDD can i put 2 SSD?
I want to upgrade also the RAM upgrade 12gb elixir 1600. what brand and compatible RAM?
Thank you alot.
Cheers

Quote from: RX-8 on 15-May-15, 14:01:53
Yes, you can replace the 2.5 HDD to the same 2.5-inch SSD. For the recommended brand and size, since it's an old model, you can easily google some info on the Internet for reference.
About the RAM upgrade, you need to notice if it's DDR3L (low-voltage, 1.35V).
if it's not DDR3L aka 1.35v ram
just get all new ram DDR3L and swap it will save your battery life and drop CPU temps a little

Buying MSI GT60 2PE Dominator 3K Edition

Hey MSI forum
I'm looking to buy a new laptop. I live in Denmark where the taxes is very high, but are going to Taiwan as exchange student and therefore considering to buy it there, but what is the price in Taiwan?
I have to configuration options in Denmark:
3,000$
MSI GT60 2PE 480NE Dominator Pro - 3K IPS Edition - 15.6" - Core i7 4800MQ - Windows 8.1 - 16 GB RAM - 1 TB HDD + 128 GB SSD
or
2,500$
MSI GT60 2PC 485NE Dominator - 3K IPS Edition - 15.6" - Core i7 4800MQ - Windows 8.1 - 8 GB RAM - 1 TB HDD
I hope that someone can find something comparable and maybe where to buy in Taiwan.
Thanks in Advance
Nikolai

The only thing I would make mention of is the warranty. I'm not sure how that is handled or transferred. Just something to keep in mind, as it might end up being more costly that way.

MSI GT60 Too much heat issue ! help

i have msi gt60 0nc (windows 8.1 x64 / i7-3610QM / gtx 670m / 16G ram / 1T hdd )
and when i play games the gpu and cpu temp retch 80c after less then one hour of gaming like need for speed rivals
and temp increases to reach more then that but i exit the game immediately to cool the gpu/cpu
my turbo and fan is on .. pls help me is that normal/safe or what ?
attaching some pic
thanks

Depending on what model of GT60 you have, 90C isn't terrible.
If you go much higher than 95C I would start worrying, but 90C seems to be about the normal operating temperature of a newer (Core i7 4xxx series + GTX8xx series combo) GT60. Once you start going above 95C you're going to start throttling very quickly.....and that's not good.
Worst case you might want to repaste the CPU and GPU. This is a rather common problem on the notebooks.

MSI GT60 0NC Erratic Touchpad

I just purchased a GT60 laptop and there was an immediate issue with the touchpad. The cursor moves very erratically, often jumping from one place to another. Control is very limited. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the touchpad drivers including the latest synaptic drivers to no avail. I've run the laptop under safe mode and the problem persists. I've also done a full system restore and there has been no solution. I would greatly appreciate some advice as I am getting very discouraged with my new purchase, I'm starting to believe it is a hardware issue.

Quote from: Tiger on 16-August-13, 06:29:08
purchased my first MSI GT60 for business vs gaming due to many of the great features in June 2012 ... exchanged computers a few months later - not functioning properly.
Right now, I am very frustrated with MSI, after doing a lot of research into purchasing this "deluxe" laptop, I am regretting this selection and fed up for the wasted time - which I would like to charge back to MSI for lost productivity.
Not long into the 2nd MSI GT60 started to experience:
a) cursor bouncing around - I don't have time to play "let's find the cursor" and once you find it, play "let's find what words/sentences it changed when it hopped elsewhere on the page".
b) slowness!!! ??? how on earth with 12 G RAM, a brand spanking new i7 processor and 1 T hd - which had NO DATA transferred and stored on it (using external back up and 30 G usb) was it slow????
c) " S bar stopped loading and working
d) intel turbo booster stopped working
e) my on screen keyboard stopped working
f) mouse touch pad nor an external mouse was intermittently working ... when it felt like it, it would come around
g) moving from WORD to EXCEL, the pages would temporarily freeze
h) oddly I couldn't edit documents in WORD that I copied into, so I could highlight and color code.
i) I tried to back up my Outlook emails - system could not find the .pst folder!
I took it in for a 1 year service check - what should have been guaranteed 5 business days turned into 9 days - not impressed.
They had to re-install Windows 7 and "apparently kept it to see if it would act up, of course a phone call would have been nice, except it didn't happen, not impressed.
NOW the cursor has some kind of dial that suddenly pops up AND TOTALLY FREEZES on the page ... no cando anything until "it" decides when the game has caused "enough" frustration. This too is intermittent. All is fine and you're working away and suddenly full tilt stop!
and it just did the NEXT thing that is driving me over the deep end ... the cursor suddenly CHANGES FONT SIZES .... ALWAYS SMALLER to TINIEST and this is where it stops - barely legible on the page and I can't find where the friggin' size thing is to change it or TURN IT OFF!
I have called the Tech twice now for the same problem and I have only had it back barely 3 weeks and I didn't even call him immediately when it started to happen!!
Today I was over the top when he told me to disable the mouse pad and see if that works ... it's a lap top .... if the mouse pad doesn't function, there's a problem.
To have these problems in the first year - it is DEFECTIVE!! and once again the voodoo Font Monster has taken over and I can barely see this script!
Frustration and fed up!
My blood pressure is boiling beyond e
Sorry you had such a bad experience, but I highly doubt all this was caused by hardware.
Did you bother doing anything to try and troubleshoot the problem? Was the CPU overheating? Did you look at the temperatures?
A number of the problems you seem to indicate, really point more towards there being a very bad virus or trojan installed on it. That laptop shouldn't slow down that much, and even my GT70 (which has been flawless) works great and its nearly the exact same laptop.
I really think the problem is not as you suggest.
Lastly, the simple fact that a single user is having a problem like this, and it's not widespread, really is indicative of it being something due to the user and not due to the design/manufacture of the laptop, unless it's a heat problem with the CPU.

MSI GT60 0ND Restore Windows 8 DVD

Hi everyone, today i tryed to install Ubuntu on my MSI GT60 0ND, just for fun. After 2 days of using, I wanted to get back to Windows 8. I started to restore via msi restore disks. And found that 3rd disk is damaged.
I tryed to restore the disk. Copyed the OSImg3.swm, and noticed that just 0405, 0409, 0445 files are damaged.
So please guys who can upload 3rd disk or know the way to fix my problem please answer.
I need only 3rd disk, total disk quantity is 5.
My notebook model is MSI GT60 0ND-286CZ:
Intel Core i7 3630QM
RAM 12GB DDR3
NVIDIA GTX 675M 2GB
64 + 64 SSD RAID 0 (Super Raid)
750 GB 7400 rmp hdd

Easier to say which ones NOT to install.
http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT60-0NC.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win8%2064
Don't install the Raid drivers unless you use raid.
Start with the Chipset, Intel Management Engine Drivers then install the others one by one depending on which devices your laptop is equipped.

Msi gt60 domainator 424 gaming! PLEASE ANSWER

Hi everyone ! I just bought my new gaming laptop the MSI GT60 2PC Domainator 424
GTX 870m 3 GB Version
8 GB Ram
i7 4810mq
1 TB HDD
SO i wanna ask that what is the best to play...with
plugged in AC adapter or AC removed (battery life) ??
Because when the AC Adapter plugged in i see tempreture more than when i am playing on battery life about 10 dgree
but battery stay for 1 hour when playing !
Also i want to ask what is the safe tempreture when i am playing and what's the danger tempreture ?
Thanks in advanced

When gaming it is recommended to keep your power supply plugged in.
Temperature should stay around 93 Celsius give or take on full load for gpu and around 80-90 for cpu. When they get above 93 Celsius they will throttle down.
At 100 Celsius or higher it will shutdown to protect against overheating.

Not getting enough performance out of Msi GT60 0NC

Hello there guys! Since I've got my laptop I have been getting the feeling that I am not getting enough power out of my toy. I dont know if its me who have too big expectations about this laptop or it really should be performing better?:( I have done hours of research regarding drivers, graphic setup and not at least overclocking which seems to raise the performance quite a bit but it easily gets unstable. I am using Msi's preinstalled drivers as it seems like they give the best performance so far. I have also installed the modded Firmware from https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162629.0 which works better than the original one from Msi. But still, i hear a lot of people playing demanding games on ultra with fps around 50-60. In bf3 I get around 40-60 on High with shadow on medium and post processing off, anti-aliasing off. Turbo is on + overclock. The performance in Gw2 is even worse.
So here is my question: am I expecting too much from the laptop or can I do something to improve it and make it run like a charm? Another question would be if it is possible to change powervoltage to get a higher overclock?
I would very much like to hear from u guys how your msi gt60 is performing:)
Best regards, Mathias Kanstrup

Same here, Gt70 0NE + 680M; overclocking GPU core causes clockdowns so gains are minimal. Overclocking memory is successful upto about 2500MHz but gains are small as the memory isn't the restricting factor in preformance - or the effect is just minuscule. So mostly 2 to 8 % in benchmarks, max.
With extreme air cooling and a modified VBios, it's possible to get up to around 15%......I know this first hand.
I just don't care to do it since there's little point in pushing the hardware that hard regularly. Yes, it's great for bragging rights, but it's not useful for long term use unfortunately.
Overclocking the memory in the GTX675M might help a bit more than in the 680M. I'm not sure, I haven't really followed up on the other cards.

MSI GT60 with Vertex 4 SSD - Freezing, won't load Windows only in SATA III port

Hello,
New to the world of SSD's and trying to get my Vertex 4 to be able to operate at 6 Gb/s. I know that in my MSI GT60 that it has to be in port 1 because that is where the SATA III controller is, port 4 is just a SATA II. I was able to update the Vertex 4 to firmware version 1.5 and when it is plugged into port 4, no issues at all. It will run and take anything i throw it while running at 3 Gb/s in SATA II mode. My port 1 currently houses a 500gb Western Digital Scorpio drive.
As soon as i throw the Vertex 4 in port 1, issues arise. Sometimes i get a disk read error right after bios, sometimes it just freezes. On the latest Intel RST for my board, 11.2.0.1006 it can actually boot on occasion but 90% of the time freezes but still only reads 3 Gb/s when it does boot. It does the same thing in version 11.1.0.1006 and any older RST it just freezes or says disk read error and never boots.
I have my bios set to AHCI mode and i have tried the Vertex 4 by itself and also with the WD 500gb in the other port. When i switch back to Vertex 4 in port 4 and WD in port 1, no issues at all. Just trying to see if this is a known issue or anything else i can look at. I made sure to break the RAID 0 and it was a clean install of windows 7 to the drive.
Running on bios E16F3IMS.10M. The Vertex 4 is at its latest firmware as well. I do have one PCI device i can't identify in Windows and thinking it might be the issue but can't narrow it down. I have the Intel RST installed.
I also posted this on the OCZ forum and did their tips as well.
Thanks!
James

Changing keyboard colors in MSI GT60 2PC series under Linux

Hi,
I intend to buy myself a laptop and I just would love to get one of MSI GT60 series but the thing is... I'm a nerd [']... ;(
I will use Linux Debian or Gentoo on it and want to ask you about the compatibility with penguin. This multi-colored keyboard is great I love it but will I be able to customize it under Linux? What about other drivers?
Yeah I know installing linux on gaming laptop is stupid but oh well. :P
Thanks in advance

I did run Linux Mint on my GT70 for a while,and as you may know Linux handles drivers in a different way to Windows.I didn't need any drivers at all to make the system functional,or indeed any system I have installed Linux on so far.I did download proprietary drivers for the Nvidia card but that was it. As for the keyboard,and in my case the S-Bar I didn't find any drivers for them,but then again I didn't really need them.
Linux didn't stay on it for long though,as a gamer I was limited by what was available for the OS.
If you want to see what your system runs like on Linux without upsetting the current OS try a 'Live' USB boot of any flavour of Linux,but you may know that already anyway if you are into it.
