MSI GT83VR 6RF-028UK GTX 1080 SLI Laptop Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell October 20, 2016 Featured Announcement, Laptop / Mobile, Reviews

The latest MSI laptops have a ‘VR' suffix in their name, to signify that they offer full support for the latest Virtual Reality equipment. KitGuru has covered VR performance and hardware in great detail with previous editorials thanks to our resident VR expert Jon Martindale. You can read some of his work HERE.

We test today with the free STEAM VR Performance benchmark. Ideally we want the system to target the green slider on the right side of the chart.

The MSI GT83VR 6RF scores 11 in this benchmark which is classed as ‘very high'. 14,741 frames were tested and not a single frame dropped below 90fps. None were CPU bound either. You really can't get any better than this. The dual GTX1080 and 6920HQ combination may be expensive, but we are already getting a good indication of the frame rate power with this first test.

Senior Intel Engineer Explains the Radical Shift in CPU Design

When Intel launched Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) in 2024 we gave you the technical details and followed up with a review of the Asus Zenbook S 14 which has incredible battery life. In the following month we discussed Intel Arrow Lake (Core Ultra 200S) and how we considered it was unfit for review in a situation that was not resolved until February 2025. On the one hand we have Lunar Lake which we like, while on the other hand we have Arrow Lake which is troubled, yet both families of processors run on Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-cores and have a huge amount in common.

    Don’t buy MSI until they have fixed the issues with the GT72 and GT80: Read more: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/gt72-gt72s-and-gt80-gt80s-owners-gpu-upgrade-discussion.795236/ and here: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18746748

    What MSI has done and then the way they’ve responded.

    Yep. My GT72 is not upgradable like MSI advertised.

    You have the GTX 880M? Has anyone attempted at placing eurocom’s MXM maxwells in there?

    Seems like the GT83VR is a step down from even the GT73VR lol. Raid 0 instead of Super Raid 4. No 120 Htz display, no 4K or turbo mode.

    Not even G-Sync from my understanding according to MSI support. So what exactly are you paying extra for here?

    Doesn’t seem like you’re getting much of anything here. Other than the two GTX 1080. Not worth as i think might just go back to Asus. Wait for their new GX800 to come out.
