MSI GE40-2OC Dragon Eyes Laptop Review (i7-4702MQ/GTX760M)


Grid 2 is the sequel to the racing video game Race Driver: Grid.  It was developed and published by Codemasters. The game includes numerous real world locations such as Paris, numerous United States locations, and many more, and also includes motor vehicles spanning four decades. In addition, it includes a new handling system that developer Codemasters has dubbed ‘TrueFeel’, which aims to hit a sweet spot between realism and accessibility.

We used the settings above at 1280×720 (ultra preset with 4x MSAA).

At these settings the game looked great and was perfectly playable. It only dropped to 29 frames per second once during the race.

    No laptop is worth that money, u could get a PC that blows that out of the water for the same price

  2. When I see a mechanical drive now in such a machine I always despair. its such an oversight as nothing is more important for a machine than a fast drive. even the CPU or GPU isnt as important.

  3. @ Stephen, well you can’t really carry around a £1,000 desktop, or put it in a bag in cabin luggage on a plane. Its horses for courses. Many people love these tiny little machines for mobile gaming.

    I think MSI dropped the ball a little with this spec though.

  4. is this windows 7 or 8 ?

  5. What do you think it is? Microsoft is paying big money to shove win 8 down our throats.

  6. I bought this laptop last week and it came with a 128 ssd + 750 gig standard HD. I upgraded the ram to 16 gigs and so far it’s been a great little machine. The pre installed software bloat is definitely an issue though. Navigating the msi site for driver updates is also a bit of a pain. If you go to the main site it’s alright but picking the Canadian site and trying to find any information is completely useless.

  7. The machine ships with Windows 8. I got the machine with no OS installed and slapped on Windows 7. All drivers available on the product page at MSI.com
