Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10, and therefore will only run under Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 is stated as a requirement) and Windows 7. This is the first edition where the feature-restricted, free of charge version could not be used any number of times. 1280×1024 resolution was used with performance settings.
The Asus G74SX with GTX560M scores 9,227 points. The MSI GT780DR with GTX570 scores almost 2,500 points more, for a total of 11,720 points. Clear benefits from the higher powered Nvidia discrete solution.
I love the keyboard, steelseries involved? wow never would have expected that. nice move from MSI. £1,499 is a great price considering. Why drop the backlighting for UK however? second class citizens as usual?

Good looking machine. MSI make surprisingly good laptops. I like them as ASUS more than Dell etc. better spec for the price.
Lets not forget its £300 less than the ASUS too. Unless asus bring their new range prices down this year. I love the look of this, and im not botthered about a bit of noise.
Ordered this a few days ago, will gifve you my views when I get it hopefuylly friday.
The MSI GT780DXR-446US laptop has enough juice to kick BF3 up to ultra and power out native resolution of 1080p just beautifully without a stutter. Which is primarily what I wanted it to be able to do in terms of benchmarking (along with hopefully carry through the next 3 years of game releases). Bottom line, it is a monster of a mobile machine.. And I say this without even slight hesitation.
