After some financial difficulties last month i'm only able to buy ROG G73JH-A2 from Gentech yesterday. I pay using paypal and paypal chose eCheck to pay Gentech. Stupid mistake because I forgot to confirmed my credit card.  doh.gif

Now need to wait until 3 August for the eCheck to be cleared.  rclxms.gif

Nah, let those owners have their own thread. Anyway the G73JX will only go into production in mid-September and should only hit retailers around the end of the month. Also the initial rush for the units will make it hard for anyone overseas to obtain them until the demands slows down a little. I'm not overly excited over the improvements and still think the G73JH is a great buy.

I got my first every GSOD today! sad.gif

After updating to ATI Catalyst 10.7 and testing Gears Of War, Crysis, C&C 3, etc. etc, I had no problems playing past several hours. I however got a GSOD after 15 minutes into Starcraft 2! It was in the tutorial even and not at the campaign mode. Not sure what happened but it locked my unit for good and I had to press the power button down to shut the unit off. I had all the settings on Ultra and might have given my GPU a cardiac arrest, LMAO! tongue.gif
GPU temp spikes were steady hitting a max of 80c so I don't think it is a thermal problem. Did an overclock to 705/1100 and the problem went away but now I know the feeling when one owner said he could feel the unit wanting to GSOD but with the overclock it just went past. I tried the tutorial again in overclock mode and at one part the game froze for 1-2 seconds then continued as per usual but I'm betting at stock speed the unit would have GSOD!

I am going to reset to stock speeds and try campaign. I will report back if I get anymore GSOD on SC2.

@Viperion: Thank you.

I ask Ken Lee to check the laptop for GSOD and update the bios and the driver. He said he can do so but the laptop will get GSOD if he update the ATI driver. Is it true ?

I guess u might need to rma sooner. GSOD cause might vary from driver to default gpu card issue.

Well here is the funny thing. I have been running the stock drivers and don't have any issues playing the above mentioned games for hours end. The GSOD never happened in 10.6 drivers but I hardly played much on those. The 10.7 is awesome because it really improves a lot of video performance but is causing GSOD. Just got a green SOD in Crysis after an hour playing Crysis. I'm going to overclock the GPU now to test for stability.

Message from Ken Lee ( GenTechPC ):
'G73JH-A2 is not in stock and next shipment will have to wait 2 weeks. we do have A1 in stock and it's ready to ship'

Do I really need to pay international surcharge $15 as asked by Ken?

International surcharge? How are you making your payments? There is a USD 30 bank fee if you are making payment through wire transfer.

Hmmm, you need to check with other owners who paid through paypal. Did he tell you what the surcharge is for? Get an explanation from him on the reason for the surcharge wink.gif

There are tons of reviews (all glowing) for the mighty Republic of Gamers G73 laptop around the web, but we’ve been foolishly lax in keeping you up to date with news about its younger sibling, the G53.

Announced back in April and scheduled to appear this year, the G53 is an almost identical clone of the 17inch G73, but in a slightly smaller 15 form factor. It has the same matte black rubberised design as the G73 with the same angular styling that’s caught so many reviewers eyes, and similar attention to detail with an excellent keyboard and mousepad.

Inside this imposing yet more portable powerhouse there’s a choice of dual or quad core CPUs, and high power NVIDIA GeForce GTS350M graphics. That’s a pair of processors which will make games fly.

Rumour has it that there’s a slight delay in production due to the difficulty in getting hold of suitable screens. If true, that would make sense, because the G53 is slated to come with a high definition monitor that’s capable of the 120Hz switching required by NVIDIA’s 3D vision technology.

We’ve seen laptops with 3D screens before, but this is likely to be the best yet. 3D vision relies on LCD glasses that rapidly alternate between allowing light into the left and right eyes. They’re synched with a high speed monitor which switched the display between the correct image for the correct eye when that lens is open.

Most current 3D laptops only use half the screen for each eye. Because the G53’s 3D images are full resolution, they’ll be sharper and more realistic that you’ve seen before.

To match its visual prowess, the G53 also comes with X-Fi audio and EAX 4.0.

It’s going to be a truly remarkable machine for games, and as the G73 is now available for the reasonable price of £1700, could be quite the bargain too.

Hopefully launch dates and pricing will be available soon. When they are, you’ll read about them here first.
