MSI GT83VR 6RF-028UK GTX 1080 SLI Laptop Review

Total War: Warhammer is a turn-based strategy game with real-time tactical battles between armies. While previous Total War games feature historical settings, Warhammer introduces a fantasy setting as well as characters from the Warhammer universe. These characters, which include monsters, warriors, and heroes, can be controlled by the player. (Wikipedia)

We test in the Direct X 12 (BETA) mode with the game set to the ULTRA profile, as shown above.

Both 1080p and 4K are playable. 1080p averages a frame rate close to 100. At 4K, performance drops to around a 54 average. It is worth pointing out that we are playing the game with maximum settings.

  1. Don’t buy MSI until they have fixed the issues with the GT72 and GT80: Read more: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/gt72-gt72s-and-gt80-gt80s-owners-gpu-upgrade-discussion.795236/ and here: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18746748

  6. You have the GTX 880M? Has anyone attempted at placing eurocom’s MXM maxwells in there?

  8. Seems like the GT83VR is a step down from even the GT73VR lol. Raid 0 instead of Super Raid 4. No 120 Htz display, no 4K or turbo mode.

    Not even G-Sync from my understanding according to MSI support. So what exactly are you paying extra for here?

    Doesn’t seem like you’re getting much of anything here. Other than the two GTX 1080. Not worth as i think might just go back to Asus. Wait for their new GX800 to come out.
