More than likely there will be an upgrade option but I would say wait till MSI announces it. Might have to have them do it to retain any warranty you might have. I don't know honestly. I don't do Laptops.
Price was mentioned in another article. But the prices were not linked to any models. 1100, 900, 700, 600. But more than likely it will be about 100 less for each one. That's what happened with Maxwell.
Correct. That is a 100% accurate statement. Being on the edge of 4K+ gaming becoming a bigger thing though, things can make a very sharp turn. IF, if being the main word here, if Pascal meets the roadmap in performance and with it now being a much lower power consumption, it could be a really good improvement all together. It was finally shown that the new 1080 is going to have a single 8pin power connector on the PCB. Maxwell had a single 8pin and a 6pin. And that 1080 is releasing come the end of May. Plus it's the newer GDDR5X VRAM, which has been showing an on average of 28-42% increase of performance with the Pascal chipset over what GDDR5 showed. That's the increase in performance depending on the type of program you are currently running. Games alone were showing 40-42%. Meaning smoother frames at lower power consumption. Now not everyone looks at power and makes that their main reasoning for buying a GPU. I mean hell, my last client wanted me to build him a X99 system with a 5960X and 4 Titan X cards and everything under water. But for someone like me that wants a good card at a good power consumption level, means less heat for me in my place. But as I always say, just my opinion.
Just in time to buy myself a birthday present!
