At a loss with my GT70-20C

Guys I wonder if you could help, I have been trying everything I can think of to fix this issue.
I have the GTX770m and I like to play most games with vsync so its smooth and tear free, unfortunately Vsync is just a stuttery mess and unplayable with my laptop. I have tried every game I own form racers, shooters, platformers the works and to no avail. I have gone to some pretty extreme steps but Im out of ideas, Here is what I have tried:
1. Latest Bios and firmware upgrade for laptop
2. Latest Intel GPU from Intels own Website
3. Tried the latest 3 beta drivers from Nvidia
4. Setting power profile to high performance
The thing is I get plenty of frame overhead when not using Vsync, F12013 for example Im running it at over 100fps, when I enable Vsync it just stutters form the start.
What can I do to fix this?

Thats not the issue I can assure you I know about vsync I have allways used it I just hate screen tearing. The problem isnt going to 30fps Ive tried real time fps monitoring. It happens with literally every game no matter what the graphics settings Is.
I have however narrowed down the issue, I have connected an external screen via hdmi which bypasses the intel graphics adaptor and its butter smooth, The problem lies somewhere with how optimus works or the driver. As optimus always uses the intel graphics adaptor to output to the laptop display that has to be the issue. I have tried updating the intel display adaptor drivers but no joy

  • MSI GT70 20C WIN 8.1 UPGRADE ISSUES!!!!

    Hello everyone  A bit of a quagmire here.  I have a new MSI GT70 20C.  It is an awesome gaming machine to say the least.  I decided to choose the best of two evils and decided to upgrade to WIN 8.1.....
    Here is the issue:
    1:Uninstalled the old Killer E2200 LAN/WLAN/BT 4.0 Drivers.
    2:Installed the new Drivers provided by MSI and all work except LAN.
    3:Uninstalled everything and tried again but this time noticed that when device manager is open and installing the driver pack, the device manager refreshed about 10 times or so and it is all fine until after the program says to reboot then the LAN is not working again.  I proceeded to uninstall and re-install this time to cancel the install as I realized that there is something in the driver pack that is conflicting with windows during the install process. I restarted the system and now it all works. 
    This is not just a request for assistance from support but also a really strange assist.  Please respond if anyone encounters the same situation.   

    I've got the newer/newest gt70 dominator pro, which came with windows 8.1 installed.
    So I don't have the same issue as you.
    But with killer and drivers for it, ive had nothing but problems.
    As of right now, I deleted the killer suite and only have drivers installed. The LAN driver in my device manager shows the yellow exclamation mark, but it works. So that's where I am and that's where im choosing to stay.
    I will end up, and soon, getting an intel wireless card, but not sure if you can replace the lan as I think that might be part of the board.

  • MSI GT70 20C WIN 8.1 - Slowness - Suicidal

    Ever since I've upgraded to Window 8.1 from Window 8 my GT70 20C is never the same.  I bought this laptop for gaming but since my window 8.1 update I've been having the following problems:
    - Slow start up (please wait.... for 10+ Min)
    - Slow turn off time.  Screen will be off but you can hear the fan and see the processing light flashing
    - If computer is idle for 10 min, it automatically turns into sleep mode and it takes about 20 min or so to log back in
    - While playing Left 4 Dead 2 - my mouse skips and have no control for for brief 1 second every other 20 seconds or so
    - Adobe photoshop - Start up used to be fast less than 7 second to start on the first time but takes longer now
    I've download the latest video card driver and there is no help.  I've uninstall Norton Anti-Virus and there is no help.  I've deleted my first account and created a new one that didn't help.  I've changed microsoft login to local login still didn't help.  The most painful part is turning on and off the computer and when idle more than 10min the computer goes to sleep by itself and it wakes up when it wants to... I had to hold the power bottom down to do a force start every time. 
    I've read many different blogs and I can't find a way to go back to Window 8.  I never receive a window 8 disk which I thought it should come with the purchase and I didn't even have a product serial key on the bottom of my computer so I can reformat everything back to Window 8. 
    I am seriously thinking about to sell this laptop and just build a desktop and install window 7.
    Please HELP!

    MSI didn't give me a copy of Window 8 - what do I do? 
    I upgraded from XP to Window 8.1 - Do you like Window 7 better?  I never used 7 before but I heard it's the closest thing to XP.  any1?
    What do you download with that 100MB+ speed?  hahahah 
    There should be an option to rollback to w8.
    Windows 8 has proved to deliver more gaming performance than w7 on the same hardware. If you use this laptop for gaming, then don't go to w7. Especially if you are playing Bf4 or any game that gets use of dx11.1

    it depends, there are different options and configurations that's available.
    you have to ask your local reseller for exact specifications of the products that are available for your region

  • SSD Install on GT70 20C-408US

    I've looked everywhere and can't find info on what I can and can't do with HDD and SSD.   The GT70 20C-408US comes with a 1TB 7200 rpm HDD.  This is the limiting factor for games.  I'm trying to determine if I can install an additional SSD to support games, or if I can only support one drive. 
    Thank you for any assistance!

    Just bought my GT70 2Oc-408US the other day; called MSI technical support, asked them about replacing the HDD with a SSD and if it would void any warranty. The Agent for MSI assured me that the Warranty would stay intact, and then directed me to a MSI website which had instructional videos on replacing the HDD.  Watched the video, replacement instructions were straight forward. I had pre-ghosted the SSD, so the replacement went very smooth.
    Ran the Windows Experience Index [Windows 7 OS], came up as 7.7; I am happy!!!

  • GT70 20C Kubuntu looking for bios option to disable optimus for external monitor

    I have a GT70 20C with Kubuntu installed looking for a bios option to disable optimus for linux to support an external monitor. Linux will not detect any connected monitor with or without the latest nvidia drivers.

    optimus and onboard GPU can't be disabled,
    they are need to be able to see anything on the screen.
    only dedicated nvidia card can be turned off

  • GT70 20C Ram upgrade question

    I have just recently bought the GT70 20C and I want to upgrade the memory. I got the base model which came with a single stick of 8gb RAM, the module is installed in the Dimm slot on top of the motherboard (not the easy access one by removing the bottom cover) I want to install a second dimm to operate in dual channel mode
    I need to install the ram in the second slot on top the the motherboard so it operates in dual channel mode, is this a big job to do? Can you access the slot by removing the keyboard or to you have to pretty much tear down the entire laptop to access?
    Anyone had experience doing this?
    Many thanks

    The GT70 0NE and GT70 20X laptops, while visually look the same on the outside, are quite different on the inside.
    Aside from the obvious hardware differences (different motherboard and CPU and GPU mainly), there's a few minor ones as well (such as the heatsink problem with installing memory).
    Most likely though, the GT70 20C has dual channel memory just like it's older brother GT70's did.
    I would install the memory on top of the motherboard first (under the keyboard) and see if it runs in dual channel. If it doesn't, then I'd move it to the bottom.

  • MSI Hybrid Power Utility - MSI GT70 20C

    MSI GT70 20C-059US
    When I click on the Hybrid Power desktop icon nothing happens. I no longer get the interface to appear like it does before updating everything. I have installed the newer firmware and bios. Everything appears to be stable at this time but I cannot get the utility to run even after reinstalling it.
    If I right click on it, I get options to run it with graphics cards but when I do it tells me to open nVidia control panel.
    Is there some thing that could effect it from working that I inadvertently changed?
    Thank you for your time.

    I've run into this same problem on my GT70 20D just two days ago. I tried reinstalling it as well but nothing seems to be working. Anybody have any ideas?

  • At a loss with phone line and broadband

    Hi,
    First of all, sorry for cross posting this, but as you might gather I'm currently stuck between a rock and a hard place.
    http://community.bt.com/t5/Phones/At-a-loss-with-phone-line/td-p/54639
    I'm not going to repeat everything in that post, just to say when all equipment is unplugged and you get crackles and white noise through the phone, it can not be equipment, no matter how intermittent. Am I correct?
    The main reason for cross posting is around the annoying BRAS IP profile. It seems that for 30mins of static, I get stuck on a 130k profile for 3days. I could cope with the occasional outage or slow down, but 3days is half a week and when you have the recent bad weather, you get 1day of decent profile before the next spat! As a result of this, I would like to see if anyone else in the community has been through similar?
    I will point out that I have been working in IT for 13years, so I like to pretend that I know something about things, but I must say that BT is one of the only companies that I deal with and dealt with that seem insistent on blaming the customer for everything.

    No I'm suggesting the mod team is preferable to calling India ....

    Allbeit I doubt you'll see a profile reset, but even better you may see a lasting resolution, hopefully.    

  • At a loss with basic setup

    I?m at a loss with this whole avs3120 accelerator and the css11503. I thought this would be a seamless integration. Can anyone out there help me because at this point I?m about to give up on this thing. Here?s what I have: an avs 3120, avs 3180 (mgmt), css11503, and two PeopleSoft servers. Everything is directly connected to 6509 so AVS isn?t directly connected to CSS. At the very least, all I want to do is utilize the AVS for the PeopleSoft server. No magic or anything, I just want to see this thing work.
    The url that I want the users to resolve to is http://psftavs.domain.com
    - Which is the ip of the AVS, let?s say 192.168.250.173
    - Currently there?s no application specific configs on the AVS, just the default setting
    - Destination mapping is: default -> 192.168.250.247 PROTOCOL=clientprotocol
    - This is a vip on the CSS that?s pointing to the two servers.
    1) Is my destination mapping correct?
    2) Should my destination mapping from the AVS, be pointing to the server IP addresses?
    3) I don?t have any configs on CSS for this, do I need a redirect statement or something? I don?t want the URL to change.
    I get nothing when I type in the url psftavs.domain.com; however, the vip URL works which is psftprd.domain.com; I basically get my PeopleSoft login page and can log in.
    If you need more information let me know. I have a generic diagram to help out with my layout, not sure if I?m explaining myself correctly.
    Regards,
    Thai

    The detination mapping should point to the server's ip address. On the AVS 3120 appliance, the left-most interface (Ethernet 1) is used for management console connectivity.

  • What can I do simply  to keep all my previous contents, (own pics, videos, etc.) on my previously authorized iPad on PC, but get a new authorisation and a right syncronization, without data loss with a new  iTunes on my new Mac?

    Friends,
    I already had an iPad(1) and its full contents (not only the purchased items, applications from Apple, but my all own pics, videos, songs etc.) is normally syncronized with an authorized PC (Windows) computer.
    Now,  I've bought a new MacBook Air computer, and want to sell my PC. But I don't know how to transfer (or syncronize) all of the contents from my previous iTunes on PC to the new one on the Mac.
    When I connected my iPad to my new MacBook Air, I promted, if I want to change authorization of my iPad to the MacBook.
    But also got a warning, that the new iTunes will delete from my iPad all my previously syncronized items, pics, videos and music, with the previously authorized  iTunes on the previous computer, expect the saved pics from the net.
    What can I do just like that, simply  to keep all my previous contents on my iPad, but have a new authorisation and a right syncronization, without data loss with the new  iTunes on my new Mac?
    Thanks a lot for your answer.

    Here are some instructions that I have posted several times that may be helpful to you as they have been to others. You can simply ignore anything that does not apply or that you have already done.
    As Alan stated above - transferring the iTunes library is the best first step. If you can transfer the iTunes library to the Mac, most of this will be unecessary for you to do.
    Very Important ....
    1. Authorize the computer.
    2. Turn off auto sync in iTunes
    3. Transfer purchases
    The text in italics is from the other thread - non italics are my words.
    The following was copied from this thread. This is essentially what you want to accomplish.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your new computer, start iTunes. Click on iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your computer and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your computer, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
    Read this thread and the support links as well. There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your computer. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/13016026#13016026
    This support site will help you with transferring iTunes music to your new computer.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    One final note - you may want to leave auto sync turned off - but that is totally up to you. I never did use auto sync.

  • Intel 5100-5300 getting packet loss with a wrt 310n

    Hi All
    I have found a fix for this and it seems to work for me. Intel 5100 worked fine with a dlink but I always recieved packet loss with my wrt 310n
    http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/cs-006205.htm
    Just though I would Hare it with the Community
    Regards
    Wall

    I have an ASUS UX32VD-DB71 which has the Intel Centrino 6235 wifi card. I've been having this laptop for more than 6 months and I've tried different solutions to fix the issue with Wireless-N but none of them were stable other than disabling N completely using 11n_disable=1
    I've tried different kernels all the way from 3.2 to the latest 3.7 series of kernels (both in the openSUSE tree as well as mainline) with no luck whasoever. I also tried installing the compat-drivers from 2013-01-23-1-u version onto my 3.6 kernel which provided the same results too. I see packet loss with N and the G speeds are just too slow. I have a workstation in my network and I can only transfer effectively at 1.5 MB /s max over G whereas an old laptop from 2007 which has an 1x1 MIMO antenna (again Intel though) can connect at 144 Mbps to my router and transfer files at least 3-4 times faster (if not more).
    It is totally unacceptable for Intel to not just fix this issue for Linux.

    I have check mouse battery as well as relevent reasons like turn-on, but it still repeated and I don't know what is exact problem, it due to my mouse or my mac?

    Check your Bluetooth, do you have a bunch of stuff listed in there that you are no longer using?
    Or another peripheral you stored away in a cabinet near by?
