My SC17 1080 GSync just arrived today.  Are there any tips anyone would care to share with a new owner?  I currently also own an almost 2 yr old SC17 980M laptop, too.  Warranty is almost up, so needed to get a replacement (currently used for work).  The 980M will be my spare.

I figured for another $200, why not get the 1080 model with a better processor.  It is for work, and to game on during my off hours.  I was wondering if you put the heat sink on the NVMe SSD.  I read another post in this forum that said it helped keep the drive a lot cooler.  I am having to return my first one.  It has an issue with one of the mini display ports, and the NIC port has issues letting go of network cables. 
I am impressed with how much faster the 1080 model is compared to my 980m model.  (Benchmarks are about 2x better.)
Do the drivers on the EVGA site improve performance?

About EVGA drivers, they are outdate, let windows update the chipset ones, get the latest nvidia one from their site, latest intel wifi and bluetooth from their site....the only EVGA software you need is the precision mobile x if you want to use that, and BIOS updates.....don't worry abou the rest.  Even the touchpad from window update works fine, EVGA clickpad, alhough I use and prefer much more the windows precision driver which is possible to use.
 

I think I will keep it for a bit.  :)

Try using MPC-HC+LAV codecs with madVR. The screen is gorgeous, and you will be able to enjoy movies unlike anything you have seen thus far, provided those are in 4k too, or at least 1080p with enough bit rate (10+Mbps for 1080p, and 20+Mbps for 4k).
 
If the 4k video has HDR, try using HDR->SDR decoding of madVR to get good result.
 
Best VR right now is probably Odyssey by Samsung. Although it depends what you want it for. I would probably hold on for few more months to wait for a good VR head set.
