MSI Releases GX70 and GX60 Destroyer Laptops with AMD R9 M290X Graphics
MSI Computer Corp, a leading manufacturer of computer hardware products and solutions, announces the availability of the new GX Destroyer Series featuring AMD A10 processor, AMD Radeon R9-M290X graphics and a variety of gaming features designed to deliver optimal performance.
MSI's GX Destroyer Series possesses the perfect combination of multimedia capability and gaming performance. Armed with AMD's state-of-the-art mobile processor, both GX70 and GX60 Destroyers come with AMD's latest GPU and its proprietary Mantle Graphics technology, which improves gaming performance, ensures higher resolutions and smoother gameplay and allows developers to utilize the GPU more efficiently to create a more immersive gaming experience.
GX Destroyer units are the first gaming notebooks to feature MSI's Dragon Gaming Center, a gaming shortcut key designed to maximize performance and speed by performing full system check-ups, instantly configuring your machine to your preset gaming environment profile and closing unnecessary background applications to increase processing power. The units also feature SteelSeries' keyboard customization software that gives users the ability to modify colors, lighting effects, and more.
"The GX Destroyer Series delivers the optimum combination of performance and affordability demanded by both the professional and amateur gamer," said Andy Tung, CEO for MSI Pan America. "The myriad of multimedia and gaming components in both the GX70 Destroyer and GX60 Destroyer make the units the ultimate portable gaming and entertainment machines."
The GX Destroyer Series also comes with Killer E2200 Game Networking for lag-free gaming, SoundBlaster Cinema for ultra-realistic sound, MSI's Cooler Boost and Audio Boost technology and AMD's Eyefinity technology. AMD's Eyefinity technology allows users to run multiple independent displays simultaneous and supports 4K output displays up to 5760x1080 resolutions.
There are plans to implement the SteelSeries Engine software to provide a deeper level of customization on the GX Destroyer series as well as the upcoming next gen G Series laptops. MSI plans to roll out the software within the next few months and will provide further information on how to obtain the software for current owners of the gaming notebooks once it becomes available.
Select major retailers and e-tailers will also offer Battlefield 4 free for the GX Destroyer series when it becomes available.

Looks like a shiny new name has already suckered at least one TPU forum member, so the signs look good for AMDs marketing.
EDIT: ram is true and core clock is irreverent. Basically a rebrand. I see no use for 8GB of ram in a note book card. I dont even use my 2GB let alone 4 or even 8
If the 880M core clock change is irreverent then AMD are truly taking the piss with the HD 7970 > HD 7970 GHz Edition > R9 280X :laugh:
i dont think we'll see an actual new gpu until the 20nm die shrink. there just snt any room for improvement at 28nm anymore. wish they would just keep the same name though.
