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...

  • Flash Game High Scores Board

    Hello everyone,
    I know this is a subject that gets covered a lot as i have found a ton of tutorials that show a million dfferent ways to create a high scores board on a flash game.  So i decided to go out on a limb and pick a tutorial out to try.  Well I have now tried 3 different ones and have yet to get a working high scores board with my game.
    http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Games/How_to_c-Nick_Kuh-771/index.php
    That is the link to the most recent attempts to creat my high scores board.  When i finished everything the way the tutorial said it seemed like everything would work and then it just didnt.  After spending oh about 40 plus hours trying to make a high scores board i am getting very frustrated.  My game is scripted in AS2 and i have access to mysql and can set up unlimited databases.
    Can anyone please help me by sending an easy to follow tutorial that will work with AS2?  I would just like any kind of help right now as I feel ALL of my valid ideas have been ehausted.  Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

    Okay not a problem.
    This is my code on the very first frame of the game that initializes the the highscores.php script
    command = "init";
    _root.loadVariables("highscores.php?"+int(Math.random()*100000), "POST");
    This is the code that I have on a submit button, next to the input text box where the user enters their name for the scoreboard.
    on (release) {
    if(name ne ""){
    command = "update";
    _root.loadVariables("highscores.php?"+int(Math.random()*100000), "POST");
    gotoAndStop ("highScores");
    In every place the code says _root. I have also tried this. and neither of them work.  I have also tried a million other things.  So far the game plays through, goes to the game over screen where it asks for a user name and tells them their score.  Then once they press submit the game goes to the highScores screen but the name and score are not there.  The high scores screen cosists of 2 dynamic text fields one named "players" and one named "scores".  I hope this helps because I spent another 5 or so hours after my initial posts trying more tutorials with still no luck.  (the problem i am having is that i am new to flash, however not to PHP)

  • Hosting a server for simple game related info, rankings, high scores, etc.

    I have a quick question about servers. I want to implement a ranking system for one of my games, the server would store player high scores and world rankings based on their score and perhaps other fairly easy stuff. Writing the server and communicating from
    it with the app is the easy part in my mind, ive done it numerious times for personal projects (Like a Raspberry PI based quadrocopter i wrote). My question is this. If i wrote the server where do i host it? How do people typically host their servers that
    are simple like this? Do they get a static ip address and host it from a extra computer in there homes? Im not talking about big corporations like microsoft that have large server centers, just individual developers like me.  Any thoughts?
    thank you for your time.

    Yes, the server  app runs on the machine it is hosted on.
    See http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/services/mobile-services/ to get started with Azure Mobile Services.
    If you want to write a web service yourself from scratch you'll need to pick your technology and look for documentation there. It's off topic in this forum, but check out http://www.asp.net/get-started and the http://forums.asp.net/ forums for asp.net.

  • I have a really high score on a game app on the ipad 2 ... Can I sync or transfer ONLY that game to my ipad 3 somehow ???

    I have a really high score on a game app on my ipad 2 ... I want to sync, or transfer, or move somehow,  the app with the high score to my ipad 3... Can I do it without syncing the whole ipad?? Or is there another way to get the game app to my "3" ???

    You would need to backup your data to iTunes or iCloud and then restore from backup on the iPad 3. Content should reside on your computer or you can reload apps from the cloud. I don't believe you can just restore one app

  • High score in simple flash game

    Hello
    I wrote a simple shot em up flash game and assigned a

  • Game app high scores

    Morning all.
    I have a game app called Blitz.  (It is a version of Bejewelled.)  Every week, my high score sets reset to zero.  Fair enough ... except no-one else's does.  The same other high scores are there week after week, month after month.  Now, I think it unlikely that on every reset Splork gets exactly 365,050 again and Wall-nut gets exactly 151,350, etc, etc, so I can only assume they are not being reset.
    And my question is ... why would this be?  I am mystified.

    I'm not near the top score, so I can't think they think I'm cheating.
    I am connected up properly.  My scores get recorded fine.  Then, once a week, it says "time for a new high score" or something similar and the next game I play gets shown as my highest.  Then, through the week, I improve on this (or not, depending), and then it all happens again.  But everyone else's scores just stay there.
    The only explanation I can think of is that none of the others on the leader board have played again since recording their last score.  Maybe as soon as they do, their old score will go. 

  • Do games store high scores?

    Do the new games that can be purchased save high scores? Or is everything lost when you close the game like the free games that come with the ipod.

    I'm pretty sure that they're saved. At least in Mahjong it saves the games so that you can come back to it later. Not sure if it shows the scores though.

  • HT4314 Temple Run 2, high score of 156 mil deleted from Game Center

    As the title describes, I last night got a high score of 156 million in Temple Run 2 and when I checked Game Center today, the game listed me as never having made a single run, and that I didn't have any score at all (my previous high score was 115 million which was on Game Center but is now also gone). I have played the game quite a bit and have completed all achievements except for the 10 million meter one.
    Does anyone have some thoughts on this?

    Yes, it's still listed within the app. It's only on Game Center that my scores are missing.

  • GT80 Titan SLI: Graphics performance

    It’s not without reason we make a lot of noise about the GT80 Titan SLI – we’re immensely proud of all its unique features, not to mention the fact that it’s our most high-performing system, and probably the fastest gaming notebook out there. We can rant and rave about the keyboard for weeks (and we have done, internally), but in the end, it’s down to performance figures… Something we thought we’d share with you.
    You will not have missed the fact that we’re using two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M with 8GB each, in SLI, leading to… Well, see for yourself, below.
    In general, the SLI solution in the GT80 gives a performance boost of more than 60% compared to a single GTX 980M, as found in our GT72, or for that matter in a lot of other high-end notebooks. For example, this solution scores noticeably higher in 3DMark Fire Strike than an overclocked GeForce Titan desktop system – just to give you an idea of what kind of powerhouse the GT80 really is.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Game center doesn't update leaderboard scores after reinstaling apps

    I had few games with some nice achievements and scores.
    I have deleted my games from my iPhone.
    After some time Ive decided to instal some of them again.
    My achievements and best scores were automatically imported into Game Center and the games.
    It was cool and it was what I've expected.
    The problem is i.e. when I play minigore and get some nice points the leaderboard doesn't update. There are my old scores but none of them are appearing after reinstalling the game.
    Simply I still see some great scores in ALL but TODAY and THIS WEEK just doesnt show my new scores even when it's high.
    Other game doesn't connect to game center at all. It shows WELCOME AGAIN QAYIN but doesn't update nor scores nighter achievements.
    Does anyone has similar problem?
    Any solutions either simply wait till update cause it is a bug?
    Thnx...

  • How can you get back a lost high score after a partial sync?

    I was playing a Temple Run game, which I was currently getting a high score on, when I plugged it into my computer to charge. Since it was the first time I had plugged it in, the Mac asked me to do some stuff. After my iPod started to sync, everything was fine. I then had to leave, so I ejected it and left. It kept syncing until I was out of the wi-fi range and down the road. I go into Temple Run, and find my game I was playing gone. The coins weren't added, and the high score wasn't even updated. When I came home, I tried syncing it again, and the info still didn't come back. Is is possible to regain the data back? I just really want the 7 million high score back...

    Try restoring from backup.  If yu did not backup since you messed up, restoring from backup should get you back to when the backup was made. Got to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPod...syncing" otherwise when you connect, a backup will be made that does not contain the info you want.
