MSI GT70 0NC 17.3″ Laptop Review (i7 3610QM / GTX 670M)

The Matroska Media container is a very popular, open standard Multimedia container which is usually found as .MKV files. It is a very popular format in enthusiast circles and can be played directly in Windows Media Player with suitable codecs installed. We use the Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP).

We ripped our BluRay disc of The Dark Knight to 1080P MKV and used Windows Media Player to playback the file.

MSI's GT70 0NC easily chomps through the demanding task of a 1080P MKV file; a mere 15% CPU utilisation is required. The task is effectively off-loaded to the Intel IGP whose activity is around 20%.

  1. This system exposes a problem with nvidia mobile pricing right now. the 7970m is cheaper than the GTX680m and faster, never mind the 670m.

  2. The only issue with the 7970m is the noise and heat it generates. ive heard several laptops using it and they get very very loud when gaming.

  3. I’m quite sure the one shown is the GT780, not the GT70. The GT70 has a very boring design, and the 0nC/0nD are slim.
    Either way, it is pretty much my dream machine – 17″ and fast enough for games.
    After getting my current 17″, I don’t want to go any smaller, although it’s no good with games.

  4. My bad… I was thinking of the GE range… then again, the GT60’s look like the GE60’s and GE70’s while the GT70 and GT780 look like the GTX683 without the lights. Confusing..

  5. (didnt read the whole article)

    According to a website, the GTX 670M is not a Kepler based GPU, this is still a Fermi graphicscard, bigger DIE, less powerful etc..

    GTX 670M = GTX 570M (Bad MSi!!!)
