Unfortunate to hear about your gt680r.Hope you can get it fix really soon and maybe discuss your process of fixing it in case anyone of us gets the same error in the future sweat.gif

Hi,

According to my source from MSi, it is going to be late Sept/early Oct. In the meantime MSi is going to 'replace' GT680R with GT683R (nV GTX560M).

Regards,

Brozini
Oh my...guess the GT680R machines were just a "kambing korban" test machine to tryout what are the customer's review and attractions on it?As always,just replacing the gfx card with the nvidia 5series and satisfy the customers with it.Not really sure whats going on with the marketing skills nowadays,same goes for the production of phones as well when they just replace and introduce a new single thing from an old product to a new product just like that.Its like an incomplete system featured of bits and pieces which slowly combines into a crap.

Im not really sure about the production of GT683R as I did not do any research on it except to checkout the forums.

Hello guys,

I just did a test run on Crysis 2 using my GT680R.I was bad as I did not work out the FPS =(.I run the game on 1920x1080 resolution,with "Gamer" graphics enabled."Hardcore" graphics will not be a wise choice.However,the gameplay went smooth for an hour.My gfx went up to a temperature of 70-78C.It was good with the thermal paste by GenTechPC.Overall,the game was smooth,no issues,went well straight for an hour.I love it,so far things are going great for this laptop.But i think the FPS for me,just an assumption was at least above 30,it was smooth during firing shots were made,and of course the movie scenes.The graphic card never failed to amuse me.Although its an old card,but it did a great job so far.Hope it helps anyone who wants to get their hands on the GT680R.Its so far a good laptop!
