MSI GeForce GTX 660M in GE60 and GE70 Gaming Notebooks

MSI GeForce GTX 660M in GE60 and GE70 Gaming Notebooks

The MSI’s GE70 and GE60 are serious gaming laptops. To meet your need for speed, MSI continues to roll out gaming notebooks with ever more impressive performance to price ratios. The powerful upgraded GE70 and GE60 pack the 3rd generation Intel Core i7 quad core processor and the robust new Nvidia GTX 660M discrete graphics chip. They boast 3D game performance ratings that outstrip the previous generation GTX 560M and the earlier GT 650M by more than 15%. The blazing Killer Gaming Networking chip, SteelSeries professional gaming keyboard, quad-driver stereo wrap-around sound, Audio Boost headset sound enhancement technology, the snazzy exterior, and the unbelievably clear multimedia reproduction come together perfectly, putting the competition to shame.


Just after MSI gaming notebooks walked away with the Best Choice Award, Media’s Choice Award, and Buyer’s Choice Award at the Taipei 2012 Computex, MSI’s innovative and driven design team unveiled the GE70 and GE60. Under the hood, they feature Intel’s upgraded 3rd gen quad core processor and Nvidia’s latest GeForce GTX 660M discrete graphics card and they come with a full HD matte screen to optimize picture enjoyment and gaming performance. The GE70/60 are the first laptops to come with the ultrafast Killer Gaming Networking chip, dramatically bolstering the quality of Internet data transfer and reducing the latency value of online games. Now, running circles around your enemy and mopping up the floor with said enemy are no longer just fantasies. So whether you’re laying siege to a castle or duking it out with orcs, the online games you play will be smoother and you’ll be more victorious as you wield this weapon of professionals into battle.

The Nvidia GTX660M brings gaming to life
The upgraded GE70 and GE60 boast Nvidia’s newest Geforce GTX 660M graphics chip with 384 CUDA cores and 2 GB of DDR5 graphics memory. They racked up over P11,500 points on the world-renowned 3D Mark Vantage. These machines are guaranteed to keep you riveted. The new Kepler production process allows the DirectX 11 to reach peak performance for a much smoother game and better visuals and works together with the full HD 1080P screen to provide you with such incredibly crisp details that you’ll find yourself totally engrossed in your movie or game.


All top-of-line equipment in one package
Eric Kuo, associate vice president for global sales, MSI Notebook, pointed out that the upgraded GE60 and GE70 feature the upgraded 3D discrete graphics card and the hot new ultra-high speed solid state hard drive with mSATA interface comes optional to give the system read/write speeds in excess of 450 MB/s. MSI gaming notebooks are the top choice for top gamers around the world (Top player, top choice!). What’s more, the Steelseries keyboard, designed specifically for the professional gamer in mind, offers better feel and durability than any other keyboard on any other type of laptop out there. These laptops offer a wide range of other envelope-pushing features, including the high-speed Killer Gaming Networking chip and Audio Boost headset sound enhancement technology, at a reasonable price, making these dream machines for the extreme gamer.

 MSI’s GE and GE70 gaming laptops are powered by Intel’s Ivy Bridge processor and feature a nice dual storage system, composed of an mSATA SSD and a mobile 2.5” HDD.

Good laptops...but graphics card not as impressive as mentioned in article

The MSI range of laptops are pretty good. They look pretty slick and come with some nice features. The refreshed GE60 and GE70 laptops are good gaming laptops, however, the Geforce GTX660M will not be able to play current games at Full HD resolutions and max IQ settings. If you're able to fork out abit more cash, I would strongly recommend looking at laptops that come with AMD's Radeon HD7970M or Nvidia's Geforce GTX680M (which is more expensive than the latter). Both of these flagship cards are great for full HD laptop gaming and offer a truly amazing experience. These cards are capable of achieving framerates that we previously unheard of in terms of laptop gaming. You can play practically any game at max settings in 1920x1080 (even with AA) at playable framerates.

However, if you don't mind gaming at HD (1366x768) resolutions, then the Geforce GTX660M would not be a bad card to opt for.

I play all my games at 1920x1080 on my Asus G74, and that's only a GTX 560M. Only thing I don't turn on is AA, so really, no big deal. You don't have to drop down to 1366x768...ever.

Dude, you can't play demanding games like Battlefield 3 or Crysis 2 at 1920x1080 and at MAX settings with an Nvidia Geforce GTX560M - regardless of AA. The card struggles to maintain 30 FPS in these titles. I know, because I had the GTX560M on my previous ASUS laptop.


The GTX680M and Radeon HD7970M are ALOT faster than the previous generation GTX560M and Radeon HD6970M.

I dont see anywhere he said that he runs max settings. He could be just like I am, high settings and 1920x1080 res with good framerate and Im happy.

Did you mean 'former', or is a GTX680M is more expensive than...itself?
