woot! so it did run on the GTX560m 1.5gb! tat is great news..but from the website it shows 555..anyway, is there any option for user to choose? for example if i dowan the blu-ray..replacing it with standard dvd..not possible right?

hehe.. bro viruz,
Here is some insider info. For MSI, some of the internal parts is decided by the Product Manager. Perhaps that's the reason why MSI-MY asked you guys prefer SSD + HDD or a bigger SSD. But once it's picked, no changes can be made. So want or don't want, you got no choice but to accept the Blu-Ray. hehe.. and the above spec is chosen by MSI Malaysia Product Manager.

ah , if only the ram is around 6 or 8 and no blueray...

the ram? it's 16GB. 4GB x 4...

the SSD + HDD is alright just blu-ray is a let down ..dn reli need to use blu-ray

i meant if only there is no blue ray and less ram , i dont need that much ram

i tink best bet is to take out the ram and sell it off..but then again, im not sure if that will void warranty..better double check with them

GX780 shipping may 30th !

That's a bummer Optical drives are fast becoming obsolete. Replace the blu-ray with bigger SSD drive perhaps.

Maybe it is due our GT680 has received some feedback that "high-end" model without Blu-Ray. For enthusiast here perhaps we know the usage of Blu-Ray is still rather low. As for me, SSD is always just an OS storage for me and 120GB should be sufficient. Just my point of view. Cheers.

it will be so awesome if there were a cheaper configurations, like in gentech and xoticpc

Hrmm.... looks like the response is not as expected. I mean the gathering head count. lol.

Dear viruz,

Dear viruz,
Thank you for that.

Alright, just pm most of the owners + those who were interested in the gt680 and 780..hope can get a good response

Man, we need to get things clear about this GTX560m whether it's 2GB RAM or 1.5GB RAM.

Btw, the GT683R will not be showcased during the gathering? =/
