☢ MSI GT80 2QE Titan SLI Laptop Review - Star Citizen Tech, Tweaks & Hardware
Today we are reviewing this lovely Laptop from MSI
The GT80-2QE Titan SLI
It is an incredibly powerful piece of kit, we’re going to take a look at it, put it through its paces with Star Citizen - With some special CryEngine Settings to make it even more pretty & a couple of benchmarks like 3d Mark & talk about it’s user friendliness and build quality.
TL:DR Spoilers it’s amazing for gaming. It’s is very expensive, but if money isn’t an object and you need an all powerful solution for gaming that is also compact & mobile then BUY IT! Tho it’s battery doesn’t last more than 2 hours of use, so you might need to be near a socket.
Graphics Card Ram is not stack-able in DirectX 11, but with DirectX 12 and a compatible game the Ram should stack to 16GB - I should of explained this my bad!
