The latest MSI laptops have a ‘VR' suffix in their name, to signify that they offer full support for the latest Virtual Reality equipment. KitGuru has covered VR performance and hardware in great detail with previous editorials thanks to our resident VR expert Jon Martindale. You can read some of his work HERE.
We test today with the free STEAM VR Performance benchmark. Ideally we want the system to target the green slider on the right side of the chart.
The MSI GT83VR 6RF scores 11 in this benchmark which is classed as ‘very high'. 14,741 frames were tested and not a single frame dropped below 90fps. None were CPU bound either. You really can't get any better than this. The dual GTX1080 and 6920HQ combination may be expensive, but we are already getting a good indication of the frame rate power with this first test.
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
That’s really pathetic!
What is pathetic?
What MSI has done and then the way they’ve responded.
Yep. My GT72 is not upgradable like MSI advertised.
You have the GTX 880M? Has anyone attempted at placing eurocom’s MXM maxwells in there?

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.
