The SteelSeries engine itself also lets you
choose different colour profiles and effects for the backlit keys. You can also
assign different actions to specific keys including Keypress Macros, Text
Macros and Launching Applications. There was alot of other customizing options
available but unfortunately I didn't have enough time to try them all out.
Once Alien:Isolation was installed we ran a
benchmark test. We set Anti-aliasing to SMAA T2x, texture filtering was set to
Anisotropic 16x while everything else like level of detail, particles, shadow
mapping and streaming texture were all on ultra. Additionally, screen space
ambient occlusion was set to HDAO+, DoF was turned on, as was motion blur and
multithreaded shadow rendering. Even with such a heavy graphic load we got an
average of 95fps.
We also took some screenshots in-game and the
game really looks beautiful.
But sometimes we spent too much time ogling
the high-res graphics and didn't notice the Alien until it was too late. Argh!
All in all the GT72 2QE Dominator Pro is
definitely a feature packed notebook and with the Super Pack it also comes with
alot of gaming gear. Just look at the amount of gaming goodness that's packed
into this awesome package from MSI. The GT72 Dominator is really the ultimate gaming machine.
After all the excitement in unboxing this
awesome notebook we headed out to the nearest shopping mall for a surprise. I
was planning to check out one new toy for my hi-fi system and though i'd bring
my friend along. You see, the GT72 has speakers specially built by Dynaudio and
I have been their fan for many years ever since I first experienced listening
to their Dynaudio
Sapphire speakers.
And this high-end hi-fi shop we were in had
previously hosted the Dynaudio CEO, Wilfried Ehrenholz, during the launch of
the Xeo wireless speakers. The Xeo is the world's first high-end wireless
stereo system and connects to any device including turntables and iPhones.
Inputs include USB, Toslink, coax and analogue RCA.
I was planning to get one unit for myself but
thought it would look pretty sweet right next to the GT72 notebook. We tested
it out with some music from CD's and online streams and the sounds were very
clear with no interference in the signals.
My friend asked me why there was a Volkswagen
Beetle with the Dynaudio logo on it and I told him that they not only
manufactured high-end speakers for your living room, they also provided car
stereo speakers to companies like Volkswagen, Volvo and even Bugatti! That car
stereo set we saw already cost RM8,000+ including parts and accessories. Wow!
After a few more looks around the shop and
seeing all the other high-end speakers by Dynaudio I was confident that MSI
really had quality and performance in mind when they produced the GT72
Dominator Pro.
With all the gaming power from the Nvidia GTX
980M and MSI's new Shift technology, I can't wait to buy my own one now.
