- Alright folks my final review of the Asus G75 Gaming Laptop. I installed a Corsair SSD and 16GB of 1600mhz of ram then updated the bios and graphics drivers from Asus website. I also installed a fresh copy of windows 7 64bit then re-did the benchmarks...3DMarkVantage went from 11390 base to 12019! Memory can overclock very nicely with the bios update!

After reading reviews of a Raid Stripe 0 vs. a SSD I ended up going with SSD as a primary boot drive and the 1 TB as the junk master drive just like you. Just plugged in the RAM and this thing is great.
Thanks for the response!
Great job on the first hands on.
the only video on youtube atm :)
And some more vids about it coming up soon?
I just got mine last week. Just install MSI Afterburner. It is completely legit. I overclocked my core and shader clocks to max at 530mhz for core and 1060mhz for shader. Core reaches 950mhz in game though. Memory overclocked to 3000mhz. All of these clocks are completely stable. Good luck.
First laptop I have ever seen without bloatware! Not sure on the processes but will check
It's hard to beat the price for the specs you get if your on a budget plus the 30 day return is nice.
For sure this system can handle that no problem
For the price and the specs its the best out at the moment.
Great review. Im most likely getting the same model as you eventually. Was it easy to install the SSD and the extra ram?
The one screw on the bottom of the laptop. Undue that and pry the cover up and you'll see the two memory slots.
Depends on the price!
Depends on your budget. I know if your just starting out 8gb of ram is more than enough to any kind of gaming. The stock hard drive is kinda slow but has tons of room. The system is going to be really fast out of the box. I would just try it see how ya like it.
amazing review.. thank you
I got this laptop the same day you did. I've heard best buy lowers the specs on some of the laptops so I've been waiting to see if anyone else got the G75 from somewhere if it will have the same specs. I've been playing skyrim on untra and it hardly even gets warm. it's running great so far.
One of the easiest to date! Make sure you burn the drivers for the usb 3.0 to a cd they wont work till you get them loaded up.
So far with my testing the 660gtx matches the 670 but much more efficient and runs way cooler draws less power. I'm sure Nvidia will be coming out with better drivers to utilize the new tech
Good to hear that it doesn't get hot even under load. It looks pretty heavy though, like it would sooner crush your lap than burn it. Would the weight (notebook + power brick) would be a huge burden to lug around on a daily basis for the average non-gym-going male?
I agree with that! I would get the amd hd 7970
Great review. Going to get this right now. What is the model of the stock hard drive ?
Download MSI Afterburner from Guru3D and only overclock the memory 350mhz and set the program to auto boot on startup.
Sure! Use MSI Afterburner till it blue-screens then back off little by little.
yeah I agree. I wasn't sure about having the gtx 660m over the 670 but I guess a lot of people prefer it. I also ordered a solid state drive because the 5400rpm HD won't cut it alone... I haven't opened mine up yet, but I heard it has 2 4gb sticks of ram instead of 1 8gb stick? If so, that would be a waste of I wanted to upgrade later
Never used them before always done it myself
Thanks, but I was hoping for the owner to reply to this. I've "heard" plenty as well, but that's the problem - nothing is definite.
It has a option to turn it on and off. I put a picture up at laptop forums
I will check that out for you
I would try as is and see if it meets your needs if not have them upgrade some parts.
I think it's Delete or F2 it boots quick so be ready!
I see, thanks. also, im wondering if you got this in-store or online? I noticed that you can pre-order but it doesnt say when itll be available.
I've heard differently. I heard the G675M supported Optimus.
One screw on the back and the cover pry's up. Ram is real easy
Yeah very easy just make sure to burn the system drivers to a dvd. All the ports are usb 3.0 so they wont work till they see some drivers.
I'm wondering if you could answer something for me: Does the G75 support Optimus? I can't find a definitive answer anywhere, and it's the only thing stopping me from buying it at the moment.
Oh, also: battery life when browsing, ish?
Thanks!
I just bought this laptop. And cannot for the life of me figure out which button on boot gets you into the bios. Help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a question for you sir. I've got the exact same laptop as you with the gx660m and I'm trying to overclock this bad boy's GPU. How did you overclock yours? nvidia inspector? this will be the first OC I do, so any and all help is appreciated, thanks man.
You haven't told us the BATTERY LIFE on this. I'm guessing you'd get at least 3 hours? Can you test that for us please?
Bios 207 from Asus website use Winflash. Not sure on the G53
Did the laptop have a lot of bloatware?
what was the amount of processes at first boot?
was it under 80?
im getting this one too but im waiting for more SKUs :)
What percentage were you able to overclock the core of the GPU ? Do you think you could have gone further ?
What games have u played with it so far? And what was the fps average?
Could you post geekbench 2 64-bit scores in the description for this video!? Thanks!
It was delete, thanks for the help! Do you know which button selects boot options now? Also if I bought an SSD, how would I set up the SSD and the 1TB in Raid so the SSD is boot and 1TB is storage?
Nope, if your looking for a Laptop with 680, the MSI Gt70 has one.
Hello Paul,
I got exactly same setup as yours.
I updated the bios but I cannot see where to overclock the memory?
Can you please specify this to me?
Regards
Nick
In store yesterday
Its should be on Asus website but this reply wont let me link it.
Sooooo, this is G75-ds71 am i right with 3d? thinking of buying this from xoticpc . com ... anyways thinking of changing the display(monitor) to a glossy screen ..uhh my question is will changing the display affect the 3d?
i just kept cycling between F2, F8, and F10.
Its the same base unit that Asus makes for everyone they just add and take away core parts.
i would really like to know if you figured out how if you did can you message me and help me with overclocking? safely i dont know how at all
why would you ask that question at all. its obvious t hat you can. google is your friend. use it.
Could you put 32GB of ram in this computer once you updated it to windows profesional?
is this the i7-3610QM DDR3 1600 6G HDD 500G 5400Â RPM GT 630M 2GB (Optimus)?
How do I update my bios???? And how does this comp run on SWTOR? Could I play with 50+ fps on maxed out graphical settings?
Its 3.2 Hours ._. i just got this laptop :P
what program did you use to overclock the graphics card?
Where can I overclock my CPU and gpu do I need a program or streight from the computer
would this gaming be okay for mild streaming live on playing games??
If I'm mainly doing gaming on my g75, is there any point in overclocking?
gameplay test please!
Hi there,
How did you update the bios?
so all u have is 64gb ????
How do you findthe BIOS updates? (:
wow wtf u can put 32 GB of ram!!! what would u need 32 for
how are your cpu temperatures
Does this laptop come with an SSD?
Not the Best Buy one
Yeah very easy just make sure to burn the system drivers to a dvd. All the ports are usb 3.0 so they wont work till they see some drivers.
