@Jeffrey1987

U are correct.  tongue.gif  Sorry for any misunderstanding.  sweat.gif  hahahhahahahh. 

Did anyone play splinter cell conviction? I can only set max resolution setting at 720p only. Other game no problem but need to set manually. I wonder why the laptop doesnt set the all game to max resolution unlike my old desktop.  rclxub.gif

I haven't got to that one yet but everything I install goes to the default deskstop resolution of 1920X1080. Check your CCC settings or it could be the stock drivers from Asus but even that I remembered the first game I installed on my laptop was at 1080. It was C&C 3 tongue.gif

I declare Viperion and Jeffrey1987 *ehem* <insert ur imagination here>. May God bless them. sweat.gif

*back to g73 discussion*

A lot of g73 swapped their primary 500gb hdd for ssd. Shouldn't some of us doing that already?
*
Sure, I will gladly be the first to do it. Btw, my bank and account no. is XXXXXXXXXX tongue.gif

Yeah, we are planning to do that but with the current pricing of SSD it is just not worth the moolah. I will only consider it once it reaches at least 320 GB and cost twice as much as the standard HDD. At the current rate it is like 5 times just as much and that's just plain Loco cry.gif

From NBR through an Asus Technical Manager:

QUOTE(Gary Key;6600464)
Update - 

1. We are working with AMD on a driver update (10.8 code) that will solve the GSOD problem (non-ASUS drivers) for users with our current vBIOS and BIOS 0209 and up.  I hope to have a release date in the next day or so but the driver has not reached qualification status yet.  However, it is a rock solid solution at this point.
2. I am still working with R&D on a vBIOS update but at this point we still have random (.03%) GSOD occurring depending on driver set, BIOS, and vBIOS combination utilized.  The problem is that using a previous driver set (10.5) with an older BIOS (before 0209) and the new vBIOS could still result in a random GSOD although it is rare.  Also, updating the system with an updated vBIOS before updating the BIOS can create random locks.  So we are still discussing how to roll this solution out, in the meantime option 1 is the safe route.
3.  We are aggressively working on the missing data input issue that has been reported with Synaptics.
4.  I will have some additional information on the TIM reports shortly.

If I'm not mistaken, the cheapest 5.1 gaming headset in the market now is Roccat Kave. Nevertheless, you have to buy an external sound card for better sound quality.  biggrin.gif
*
I think the Logitech G35 and Razer Megalodon works without the additional external soundcard wink.gif

Anyway the word cheap doesn't goes hand in hand with 5.1/7.2 surround tongue.gif

hahahah. I'm happy with the speaker sound but i dont to disturb my housemate if playing late at night.

@viruz019 : how u connect roccat kave to g73. the headset need for port for 3.5 jack right?
*
It's not suitable because the Roccat Kave has 3 3.5mm jacks (Cannot confirm but I know the 5.1 Roccat has three jacks), one for the center, one for the two front speakers and two for the rear speakers. The G73JH has only one 3.5mm Stereo output jack. For full 5.1/7.1 option with headphones & speakers with multiple jacks you need an external sound card which cost extra. You can save the cost if you look for 5.1/7.1 headphones with USB interface but that usually cost around RM350~RM550. It's really up to you but I prefer the USB option as I don't have to carry around an additional device with the laptop on the go and the G73JH is a HUGE pain to move around as it is tongue.gif

Update: Correction, it has one USB and 4 3.5mm jacks. Use the link below for tech specs:

the Roccat Kave..the green is the main audio..the black one im pretty sure is centre..the pink one is for the mic..though the black one plucked in or witout it..still can run 5.1 since it needs the USB cable plucked in

btw, viperion! i see that u have megalodon there brows.gif issit comfortable? and in terms of gaming..tat headset sure pwns lots of other headset..but in terms of music..does it sound good?
*
The Megalodon is extremely comfortable and I love the options to customize it. I'm waiting for the razer store to stock up on the leather cups and I will order it then. They are telling me it will be in stock end of this week and if that is true I will get it because the reviews says the leather cups adds better sound/bass to the entire system. Overall it doesn't hurt my ears after hours of gaming and everyone is reporting the mic on the Megalodon is clear and crisp. Oh it also looks b****ing cool and I love the built in sound card/equalizer that came with it tongue.gif brows.gif thumbup.gif

@Viperion

Thank you for ur explanation. I was hoping the usb at roccat kave will make iit work like megalodon.

RM 350 is around my budget. What headset u recommend?
*
I'm not very knowledgeable in headphones but for that budget you could go for the Logitech G35 surround sound. You need to ask Jeffrey that as he was showing interest in that unit when we spoke last month wink.gif

@Jeffrey, so did your new headset arrive yet? tongue.gif

most problems occurs during payment/wire transfer laugh.gif

Nah, no problems at my end and even for some other owners. You really need to make sure with Ken Lee the exact amount before sending the wire transfer. My transfer was short but if the amount is not a lot they will still process the order wink.gif That's what so great about GentechPC! They provide excellent service thumbup.gif

normal G73 without ssd should be okay right? yawn.gif

If you have a lot of moolah then blow it on SSD. However I would still prefer to upgrade myself as I can retain my original Seagate 500GB HDD. With the upgrade you will trade in the old drive for the SSD tongue.gif
