New Delhi, November 17, 2010: Micro Star International (MSI) the leading laptop manufacturer further expanded one of the broadest line-up of notebook computers in India with the unveiling of its latest offering for the gaming enthusiast – the GT663. The powerful new notebook, an addition to MSI’s G-Series (gaming) laptops, comes equipped with GeForce GTX 460M (1.5GB GDDR5), nVidia’s most advanced discrete graphics card to support DirectX 11. GT 663 that provides a crisp, clear display, giving you a battlefield edge high resolution and gives clear shots of opponents.

“Now, users can see individuals off in the distance or hidden in dark corners in great detail and also can see their eyes, facial features, and clothing, making it easier to distinguish friend from foe and target in on bad guys off in the distance, greatly enhancing game realism,” said MSI India Managing Director Tony Yang, explaining the faithful and detailed display resulting from the use of GeForce GTX 460M graphics. In addition, the GTX 460M supports PhysX™ to fully utilize each processing core in the GeForce GPU to greatly enhance physics processing capabilities, allowing the nVidia PhysX™ software to more faithfully reproduce the universe of your choice with collapsing walls, shattered glass all over the floor, and even water that changes shape with the influence of external forces

Powerful Hardware:

The MSI GT663’s gaming power is enhanced with the latest Intel Core i7 quad core CPU with Intel Turbo Boost, under the hood as well as three DDR3 memory slots for a maximum of 12GB of expandable memory.

The MSI GT663 packs in two hard drives, endowing this mean machine with up to 1TB of memory. And it comes with new USB3.0 ports which boast transfer speeds of 5Gbps – ten times faster than the USB2.0, and 80% higher power transmission, providing vastly higher data transfer and charging speeds for external hard drives, and other handheld electronic devices.

Performance:

The MSI GT663 has double Turbo Drive technology to rev up both processor and display performance. Just one touch of the luminescent Turbo hotkey above the keyboard engages the TDE+ (Turbo Drive Engine+ technology), instantly boosting system speed for enhanced processor and display performance. Not only does it keep your system from bogging down when executing load-intensive applications, this highly responsive computer has got your back when you’re surrounded by hordes of angry goblins or careening through the universe at the speed of light.

In addition to instant Turbo Drive, the GT663 has another awesome feature—MSI’s own Cooler Boost technology. Again, just a touch of a luminescent hotkey located above the keyboard kicks in the powerful cooling action. The GT663 also offers players core temperature change and variable fan speed, allowing it to stay cool as a cucumber even when working for extended periods in high temperatures.

Awesome Audio:

In addition, MSI worked in cooperation with internationally renowned sound system designer Dynaudio to give the GT663 the ultimate in audio. It also has DTS Surround Sensation UltraPC™ technology to give you theatre-class wrap-around sound at no extra cost through dual-channel speakers that emits 5.1 channel sound without the need to calculate optimal positions for six speakers.

Targeted at professional gamers and serious enthusiasts, the MSI GT663 is most suited to those who are looking for the next level of realism and are deeply involved with their game.
