MSI GX660R Laptop Review

3D Mark

With 3D Mark we achieve scores that will be backed up on the next page.

When we tested the full-fat HD5870 on our 4GHz Core i7-930 we achieved about 19000 on a good example. So GPU-wise the GX660R with its HD5870M achieves about 50% of the performance of the desktop version. Considering you’re getting a 1080P monitor along with all the accoutrements for your thousand pounds the GPU is probably 100 of that.

The “Turbo” actually kicks in under any major loading but for completions sake we manually started it anyway. Shades of the 486DX series. As you can see the GX660R does an excellent job of knowing when to apply this little tweak as our manual use of it was well within error tolerances.
