MSI GT780DXR 17.3″ Laptop review

Shogun 2 is set in 16th-century feudal Japan, in the aftermath of the Ōnin War. The country is fractured into rival clans led by local warlords, each fighting for control. The player takes on the role of one of these warlords, with the goal of dominating other factions and claiming his rule over Japan. The standard edition of the game will feature a total of eight factions (plus a ninth faction for the tutorial), each with a unique starting position and different political and military strengths.

We are using the built in benchmark which is available via the STEAM client for this game.

Neither system can power this engine at the native 1080p resolution of the laptop screen. The GTX570M is faster, but both systems would need to be set at 720p resolution for a smooth gaming experience.

  1. 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?

  3. Good looking machine. MSI make surprisingly good laptops. I like them as ASUS more than Dell etc. better spec for the price.

  4. 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.

  5. Ordered this a few days ago, will gifve you my views when I get it hopefuylly friday.

  6. 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.
