Twice the performance, twice the fun!

Nvidia’s top-of-the-line GeForce GTX 670M discrete graphics card: The powerful MSI GT60 and GT70 come locked and loaded with the Nvidia GeForce GTX 670M discrete graphics card which boasts 3GB GDDR5 of display memory to give it the most advanced hardware in the cosmos. That coupled with the fact that it supports DirectX 11 and nVidia PhysX technologies. You will be amazed by the detail in explosions going off all around you, smoke and dust over battlefields, as well as wisps of clouds and rippling water in adventure games.

TDE technology: The powerful MSI GT60 and GT70 use MSI’s own Turbo Drive Engine (TDE) technology, so just one touch of the luminescent TDE hotkey located above the keyboard instantly revs up performance. The GT60 and GT70 also have MSI’s own powerful Cooler Boost technology; so again, just one touch of the luminescent hotkey above the keyboard kicks in the powerful cooling function to rapidly reduce system temp to enhance system stability.

Super RAID design and up to 32GB of memory: MSI’s GT60 and GT70 come equipped with four DDR3 memory slots for up to 32GB of memory. They also feature MSI’s own Super RAID technology with dual SSD optional. Using accelerated dual solid state drive (SSD) architecture not only gives these machines twice the storage capacity, it also cranks up read speed by some 300% over traditional HDD Raid 0. (See table below) In addition to booting up more quickly, it more than satisfies the demand for faster reading capabilities required for the battle scenes and awesome effects of the latest games out there, giving you an edge in the thick of combat. 

The ultimate weapon in every detail

Unparalleled professional-grade SteelSeries keyboard: MSI has heard your calls for equipment designed with the gamer in mind. As such, we got together with SteelSeries, the leader in gaming peripherals, to create a new generation keyboard for the MSI GT60 and GT70. And they can lets you choose from among five keyboard backlighting scenarios—Normal, Gaming, Wave, Breathing, and Dual Color, that can be used in coordination with variable section lighting, and seven colors offering over 1,000 variations. Gamers will also appreciate the fact that when you depress the Gaming Mode hotkey, the frequently used W, A, S, D, and Ctrl keys located on the left side of the keyboard are all backlit in LED while the rest of the keyboard stays dark. This allows you to quickly find the key you’re looking for, so you can remain focused on the rapidly changing melee you are in, giving you that extra edge you need to come out on top. 

Bigfoot Gaming LAN( Killer Gaming Networking): Nothing is worse than losing to opponents in online games, because of slow transmission speeds. The record-breaking, new generation MSI GT60 and GT70 gaming laptops come equipped with Bigfoot Gaming LAN( Killer Gaming Networking) to give you blazing online transmission speeds that are faster than regular LAN, reducing latency/ping time for a hiccup-free online gaming experience and effectively eliminating incorrect commands resulting from game lag, greatly increasing your chances of coming out on top online.

Latest USB3.0 ports: The GT60 and GT70 come with USB3.0 which boasts transfer speeds of 4.8Gbps—10 times faster than USB2.0, so a 25Gb HD film transfers in just 70 seconds.

MSI Audio Boost sound optimizing solution

Cool metal brush finish: The aluminum chassis of MSI’s meticulously designed new generation gaming laptops feature a brush finish which serves to connect each detail in the overall design, underscoring the envelope-pushing technology and style of these professional-grade machines.

Dynaudio for unbeatable sound quality: MSI worked in close collaboration with specialists at Denmark’s world-renowned sound system designing firm Dynaudio to further enhance Dynaudio sound technology.

MSI Audio Boost solution: To give you unequaled surround stereo sound, the GT60 and GT70 gaming laptops employ MSI Audio Boost solution technology to bring next-generation Dynaudio sound technology to an even higher level of perfection. The audio output employs a gold flash audio jack, which although expensive, is the best conductor there is. It also prevents oxidation, enhances transmission efficiency, and reduces noise, endowing the GT60 and GT70 with crisp, clear, high fidelity stereo sound. In addition, the built-in earphone AMP even gives headsets superior acoustics, so you experience stereo sound to give you a sense of space and directions when playing and no lag when listening to game sounds or when talking with teammates.
