What are you looking on using it for?

I Love playing game and watching movie.. but i read the review said the temperature of the GE60-20E is not good enough.. Playing game will up to 90 C.. and as we know when the laptop got hotter it will reduce the life of the laptop.. ..

guys i wanted to ask u opnion
yesterday i went shopping
wanted to buy me a new gaming lappie
saw a lenovo y500 with dual gt750 price at rm3899 , but also found
msi gx60 hitman edition that has hd8650g and 8970m
my question is whether who is better in term performance in gaming , and price based performance ?
is both can play skyrim in ultra setting + mods installed ?

Well, both can't, at least not 100%. The GX60 has a slow AMD processor, and the Y500 IS faster, but has stuttering problems with SLI + Skyrim. Your best bet is something like the GT60 (Intel + 770) or the GT70 (Intel + 780) for a flawless experience in Skyrim Ultra + ENB.

For around that price, the Y500 is probably a better bet - it's MORE POWERFUL for sure, but the stuttering MIGHT (or might not) piss you off. But drivers WILL improve, while the GX60's slow processor WILL NOT. Why not stretch a LITTLE bit more and get the Y510P? At least it's running a faster Haswell processor.

Myself I'm already pushing my GE40's 760 to the limit with New Vegas + ENB - now running around 30FPS max, 20FPS avg with modded Bloom, motion blur, DOF, SMAO, SMAA AND a (slightly) higher def texture pack running. Considering it's a 2010 game, the fact that I've modded it to run as heavy as Crysis 3 on high (or the fact it CAN be modded to this point) is just LOL.

Which reminds me, we're well overdue for a NEW Fallout game now. Skyrim really ain't cutting it for me really, I prefer guns to swords and bows.

What kind of games do you play most? As far as GX60 is concerned, MMO, RTS are not its strength..as well as game engines that relies alot on CPU calculations rather than gpu, and games that are not efficient in multithreading...

Games that i've completed on GX60 so far:

Witcher 2 - playable at max (minus ubersampling) but slight lag in town area with a lot of NPC..
XCOM: EU - playable at max
Spec Ops: the line - playable at max, minor lag here and there..
Torchlight 2: playable
DMC: playable at max all the time except lag at 1 particular area in 1 level.
Max payne 3: playable at max
Battlefield BC2: playable at max
Battlefiled 3: playable at max in SP, lag in MP

Currently playing:
Dishonored - playable, but underperform compared to i7 peers with 7970m/680m..
Tomb raider- playable at ultra with TressFX

Games that are known to not work well on GX60
-Saints row 3 and GTA4
-NFS-Most wanted
-Assassins creed 3

With all that said, GT60 with 770m is a better option than both Y500/Y510p and GX60 if you're willing to spend more...

well , the thing is i havent play game on pc for about 2years
the last game i play on pc was skyrim before it died on me
just play what current pc games avaible and wish to play the past year pc games and visual novel interactive kinda game
so which msi series that suppress for those 2 model i mentioned earlier ?
is it i7 + gt770 ?

GT60 = 15inch + i7 Haswell + 770 -> RM5k+?
GT70 = 17inch + i7 Haswell + 780 -> RM6k+?

For Skyrim + Visual Novels even my GE40 (14inch + i7 + 760 - > RM3.7k) is enough (Skyrim on high + mods). But looking at your requirements you need a desktop replacement and that's something the GE40 is NOT.

If you HAVE cash to spare and NEED to play Skyrim on ultra + mods (and the latest/last year games on highest settings) = it's either the GT60 or the GT70 for you, depending on how BIG you want your laptop to be (and how much extra cash you have).

If you don't have the extra cash, the Y510P SLI will do very nicely with 750 SLI.

The Y500 SLI is also fine if you don't NEED the latest and fastest processor. It's also cheaper than the Y510P by quite a bit.

The GX60's processor is simply not fast enough IMHO for the very capable Radeon graphics chip it has. Like highwind85 said, it's going to underperform noticeably compared to an i7 setup.

I don't know whats happening to my GT780DX. The fan automatically blows on and off for few secs consistently. Any idea why? I think maybe the fan rosak lol.

With GX60, i would say its a mix bag and hard to predict it's performance...some games runs well, some games don't...
Games that are GPU heavy would see it performing on par with i7 setup...while GX60 may underperform compared to i7 in some games, 40 fps is still very playable to me..
i7 is more consistent...if the GPU can't handle it at that settings, it just can't and you have to lower the settings...but it is not as straight forward for GX60 as there are not many CPU related settings to tweak..
Lucky for us, next gen games are going to be GPU heavy and multithreading optimized due to weak AMD single core performance in next gen consoles..

Hello New owner og MSI GT70 - I7-4700mq /GTX 780M 4GDDR5/ 256SSD +750GB ... so.. any one kow how to turn off the intergrated GPU and use only GTX780M ?! cause this just suX.. or me.. I try setting on Nvidia menu and plug -in power still it show Intel GPU on WEI... HElp im noob with MSI,,,... hmm gosh I miss Asus G75vx alredy...

Holy flying fark, MSI seem to have QUIETLY refreshed the GE40 along with the release of the GS70.

Not much difference though so far EXCEPT:

1) 8GB in 2x4GB configuration (vs 1x8GB before) - good for instant dual-channel. BAD for people who wanna go straight to 16GB (you have to get 2x8GB now lol).

2) Intel Wireless-N combo 2230 (vs the old Azurewave combo) - The 2230 is undoubtedly better vs the crappy Azurewave. Personally I'm already running an Intel Advanced-N combo 3635 so... mmmkay.

3) STEEL SERIES KEYBOARD!!! REALLY????

4) KILLER LAN (vs the old Realtek)!!!! REALLY?????

I'm kinda thinking that 3 and 4 might be typos - BUUUUUT it's being written across a couple of vendors' descriptions already so uuuuuuhhhhh. Plus GENTECH already offers the GE40 with Killer Ethernet as stock - but I'm really skeptical that they managed to cram in a proper STEEL SERIES keyboard into the GE40 THIS TIME.

What I'm REALLY INTERESTED in (if they REALLY have refreshed the GE40) is:

1) IF they're STILL shipping it with the (completely inadequate) 90w AC adapter.
2) IF they've improved the cooling inside somehow.

latest processor on y510p for what other than mmo and rts usage ?
y510p said to have different form factor for ssd

good to hear you got yourself a unit.
Btw the laptop is already 2 years warranty, why upgrade to 2 years warranty???

Y510P should be using mSATA instead of M.2

oh the seller bos saw i have extra money... so try his best to sell me product warranty add-on... +2... i told him no use.. i sell this in less 8 month time
