MSI Adds World's First NVIDIA VR Ready Mobile Workstation
MSI announced the availability of the WT72, the world's first professional NVIDIA VR Ready mobile workstation equipped with NVIDIA's newest mobile GPU, the Quadro M5500.
Designed for maximum performance, MSI's WT72 is powered by NVIDIA's Quadro M5500 GPU, Intel's 6th generation Core-i7 and Xeon processors, and up to 64 GB of DDR4 memory. The latest in professional graphics design technology, the Quadro M5500 is the world's fastest mobile GPU, delivering up to 35% performance increase over previous models, with 2,048 cores for optimum speed and power.
"The WT72 with NVIDIA's M5500 Quadro GPU is the world's first VR Ready mobile workstation and can blaze through the most demanding tasks," says Andy Tung, president of MSI Pan America. "NVIDIA powers our workstations, from the ultra-powerful WT72 to the super lightweight WS72 and WS62, and we are delighted to partner with them to drive the VR revolution into a new dimension."
"The NVIDIA VR Ready MSI mobile workstation will help virtual reality become a natural part of our daily lives by making the creation and enjoyment of VR content easy," states Bob Pette, vice president of professional visualization, NVIDIA. "MSI has a solid reputation for delivering outstanding machines, and the WT72 is no exception."
MSI's WT72 armed with the Quadro M5500 GPU comes with a variety of exclusive NVIDIA technologies to maximize the VR experience, including VRWorks, which includes an innovative rendering technology for VR content called Multi-res Shading, and Content Priority. The WT72 is Autodesk VRED certified and compatible with existing VR systems, including Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.
"The HTC Vive vision is to deliver the most immersive VR experience in the world by putting the customer at the center of the experience, with the content all around them and the ability to move and interact with their virtual world, said Dan O'Brien, Vice President VR at HTC. We are proud to partner with MSI and NVIDIA and to see the unveiling of the first mobile VR workstation."
To enhance the multimedia and user experience, MSI equipped the WT72 with audiophile-grade Dynaudio speakers featuring Nahimic Audio enhancer, True Color Technology screens with Adobe RGB certification for wide viewing angles and the most accurate visuals, and the new SteelSeries backlit keyboard with Silver-Lining Print to eliminate eye strain. The WT72 also comes with Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.1 connectors, and features a dual fan design for efficient heat dissipation.
The ultra-powerful WT72, along with other MSI systems will be on display at GPU Technology Conference from April 4th to 7th at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center.

It's a 2048 CUDA core GPU, and the 980 "desktop" version is VR ready as well.

Laptops can stay cool and stay away from thermal throttling if the cooling systems have been designed properly (like the cooling system in my M17xR3 for example). It's generally the thin & light laptops that are based on BGA CPUs & GPUs that often have thermal throttling issues rather than the socketed CPUs & MXM based GPUs which are typically in chunkier laptops with better cooling. This particular MSI laptop in this review looks pretty chunky, it'll probably be fine with keeping things cool while the components are stressed to the max.
A mobile workstation is definitely great . Yet , more of our customers who build workstations complain from heat , I can't see how laptops can deal with temperature.

he DID say it would "blaze" through tasks LOL XD
what I am wondering is this ... is it REALLY the first VR ready mobile workstation? or is this just some gimmicky lingo like NVidia's 3d vision nonsense. because I have an unsupported passive 3d monitor that works just fine with 3d vision and an EDID hack. and I've discovered that older GPUs work just fine with 3d (when you finally get w/e 3d middleware working on them--3d vision, tridef, or iz3d).
it's really just a matter of does this GPU have enough VRAM + a strong enough CPU / ram / etc. and software locks. and unsupported (yet functional) hardware. not branding. which is annoying.
