Dominator GT70 2PC Screen Tear

I've had this laptop less than 6 months, I've been trying to bear with it for the last 3-4 months, but it has gotten very annoying. Happens in the middle of a race (need for speed, burnout), while watching netflix, and more. The issue is very similar to this youtube video:
I have the variation of this laptop with 16gb system ram, 120gb ssd, 1tb hdd, Nvidia GTX 870M w/ 6gb vram.
Is there anything you can do? Maybe send me a replacement, or a monitor replacement kit, or something? I don't know what's going on, I haven't dropped it or anything, in fact, it's been on my desk since day one of turning it on, hasn't left my bedroom.

Hello dgauserna14112430835,
Suggest you update your BIOS and also EC firmware to the latest version from MSI official website first to see if they resolve this problem.

The symptom you described seems only happens while running on discrete NVIDIA graphic card. When running on it, the power button LED will glow orange. Do you always get these flickers while running on NVIDIA graphic card (power button LED in orange)? Or it sometimes happens as well when running on Intel's graphic card (power button LED in blue)?
The video example you posted indicates that the problem also happened under normal Windows' Desktop (GUI). I guess it's a physical problem when outputting the video signal to the panel. Maybe the damage on the cable.
Could you also provide any video to show your problem? That would be great for analyzing.
It always seems to load in the NVIDIA card. Although in NVIDIA settings I set it to use the higher powered NVIDIA card globally. Should I set it on a per-app basis?

  • Dominator GT70 2PC - Max SSD Size @ Odd number?

    Maximum 384Gb for the SSD if I upgraded it? That's... ...weird. So a 512gb SSD wouldn't work? Thanks in advance.

    Of course you can upgrade to 512GB. The spec on MSI website is telling you that the spec they had tested on this model.

  • MSI GT70 2PC Dominator Battleship – EpisodeⅠ

    [Introduction]
    [Roberts  are the dream of every man] one of my close fellows said. Actually, I am not a 3C fans. But it is really excited that Titan Fall is online now. So I made a tough decision that I never did it before. I purchased the [MSI GT70  2PC Dominator] with last year bounds.
    [Open box article]
    Finally, the shipment is coming today. It is true that now is one of my happiest moment in life. I put down all my work and start to share my new toy for everyone.
    Note:
    It is sad that I only have a phone next to me. Please forgive me those non-quality and non-professional pictures in article.
    That is cool that we can find a big case with MSI log and an extra backpack in package.
    There is MSI log on the top of box. Furthermore, I must said the Dragon log is so fashion and beautiful. That is a nice backpack which we can carry it outside anytime.
    There is an extra soft layer behind the backpack. It improves the comfortable and air permeability  for user.
    In my own opinion, I like this kind of design.  
    Let’s check what surprise us in box.
    We could see the label of GT70 2PC spec on the side of box.
    MSI really provide the multi-protection for their products. There are two more cases inside.
    We can find MSI gaming mouse/ SteelSeries SIBERIA V2 gaming headphone in box. Besides, there is a small and special box which has MSI Log. We will check it later.
    All right. I think we can throw away the empty box now.
    Wait a minute!!! The box is still so heavy. It must be something else that we didn’t take out.  
    Oh well, I see. There is a warranty service book and driver CD in the right side.
    Also, battery and adapter are behind the cover.  
    Let’s take a family picture.
    We have quick guide/MSI rromotional materials/manual for F3 recovery/driver CD for Win8.1/Warranty service book/ Windows 8.1 guide
    Oh my god. There is a signet in that special box. Dragoon postmark is so elegant.
    SteelSeries  SIBERIA V2 Full-Size headset.
    Furthermore, it supports 4 different languages. You can find the spec on its box.
    Wow. MSI log is on the headphone. Totally, It is customized for MSI brand!!!
    Another dragon army log on headphone.
    MSI didn’t forget the inside of headphone. A beautiful shield is on it.
    SteelSeries also promote this headphone on its website. It is so popular.
    http://steelseries.com/products/audio/steelseries-siberia-v2
    Now, let’s show SteelSeries KINZU V2 mouse.
    Mouse supports 4 different languages, too. We also can find the spec on box.
    However, there is no driver CD in box…LOL. How do I use it? We only can find the cute mouse and manual.
    Sorry, my bad. We can download the driver and firmware from SteelSeries official website.
    http://steelseries.com/products/mice/steelseries-kinzu-v2
    Of course, there is a powerful dragon on mouse pad.
    Take a mouse family picture.
    180W adapter is just like a big strong brick. It is designed by most famous industry DELTA. You can find all kinds of safety signatures on it. It is powerful and undefeatable on playing game.  But please understand that I didn’t suggest dear readers to use it as a weapon to throw/hurt people!!!
    The battery is 7800mAh. And you can see all kinds of safety signatures on it.
    Finally, our rock star is coming.
    The laptop is surrounding by a lot of soft foams.
    Huge dragon shield log on it.
    Take off the black jacket. Then, we can see a nonwoven fabric inside the plastic bag.
    Game start!!
    This universe battle cruiser will help me dominate all my enemies in game .
    We can find the security lack/power jack/ RJ45 port/D-SUB/m-DP/HDMI in back. The sales man said it can also support three external displays at same time. I must try the solution by myself when I get my new screens.
    On the left side, there are USB3.0 port/Card Reader/HiFi headphone port (According to the spec, it will increase 30% audio performance). I can’t wait to listen my favorite music with it.
    I didn’t forget my lovely BD. It also has BD reader/writer and 2 USB2.0 on the right side.
    I can’t stop myself to take another wonderful photo with the MSI logo and upper case.
    I have a feeling that my dominator is ready fight.  
    There is a [SteelSeries] LOGO on the  left side. What a surprise it is. YA! We have SteelSeries keyboard on GT70. Absolutely, this is a gamer dream. Best Keyboard vendor SteelSeries and Top Gaming NB brand MSI are working together! It is totally worth for me.
    DYNAUDIO, the leader of audio industry. As you know, BUGATTI’s sport cars use the DYNAUDIO. And  MSI is the first notebook in world with this sound of Danish pride.
    HA!HA!
    I’m listening the best sound as rich people sitting in their sport cars. It feels great.

    There are many thoughtful buttons on middle cover.  (Power/Airplane mode/display on&off/Gaming button/Caps Luck/Num lock).

    What is under the battery?
    The left side is the safety signatures for GT70 and its WLAN.
    The right side is Win8 LOGO and serial number.
    Now we know my baby is born on February.
    [Power on]
    Gee!the Log is shining when the system is. power on .
    The keyboard is just like the most beautiful rainbow that I’ve never seen. It is stunning. Honestly, my cheerful tear is dropping.
    Anyway, Titanfall, I’m coming.
    What? Something pops up when I attach the network.
    What is [Killer Network Manager]?
    Wow. Now I know that Killer high-performance networking products combine intelligence, control and superior networking speed for HD video, high quality audio, and online games. That’s great. I hate the evil [LAG] in game.
    https://www.qca.qualcomm.com/products/killer-technology/
    After the quick test, it is time to install my game.
    I find a secret app in the tray of task bar during the game installation.
    YA! That is SSE (Steelseries Engine). I can set my own hotkey, backlight LED and combo key with this good friend.
    SSE is a smart app. It recognized my GT70 and my mouse immediately when I launch the app.
    Sorry again. I was wrong because I don’t need a mouse driver. The SSE can control all of the actions. It is so sweet.
    It is the time to say goodbye. Titanfall is calling. See you on battlefield!!!

  • HELP: GT70 2PC Dominator: Lag/stutter watching online streams + StarCraftII prob

    Hi,
    I would greatly appreciate if somebody could please help me out here.
    I own an MSI GT70 2PC Dominator with this "awesome" GTX870M graphics card and all the other great features that are listed on MSI's website (here: msi.com/product/nb/GT70-2PC-Dominator.html#hero-overview).
    My problems are the following:
    1. Lag/stutter when watching videos / streams online.
    This applies to all sorts of videos and streams online, no matter the video format or website, I can never escape this damn stutter. But to take a good example: I love to watch StarCraft II on twitch. However I can at best watch it with "High" quality, "Source" quality causes the video to reload constantly and sometimes even the "High" quality causes stutter and lag. HOWEVER, on my girlfriends shitty $200-Acer laptop I can watch the exact same streams on source quality with no problems. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE??? Both computers using firefox webbrowser. My NVIDIA (this is related to the graphics, right?) drivers are updated.
    2. StarCraft II graphics bug:
    When playing SCII, it sometimes happends that some of the textures goes bananas. I have no picture of this, but it is like the smaller textures get somehow "extended" and "enlarged" while watching them from some angles. If anybody is familiar StarCraftII then I am for example talking about the mined vespene gas. They are usually small containers carried by the SCV's, but when this "bug" occurs, they start flickering and covering the entire screen, and when they "stabilize" for short periods of time (milliseconds) - they are about 10 times as big as they should be. Whaaaaat is going on?
    I know I am completely useless at computers, but should I really be having these problems after buying a completely new product that should already be ready to perform at the highest levels? What could be causing this, are there any other drivers that I need to install or could I by mistake have messed up my settings somewhere? I am pretty sure it is not the internet connection, I can tell you that much.
    Please excuse my English, it is my second language. I will be watching this thread on a daily basis so please help me and share your wisdom!
    Best regards,
    Dennis

  • Issues with a GT70-2PC Dominator

    Morning everyone.
    I am an italian customer who has recently bought an MSI GT70-2PC Dominator. I am kinda new to the mobile gaming thing, so please apologize me for whatever you judge unappropriate.
    As I stated in the topic subject above, I'm having some performance issues on this laptop while I'm gaming.. I'm talking about lag and throttling. The game I've been testing is Ghost recon Phantoms (online FPS), but it's not very high-resource demanding, compared to last gen titles.. so I shouldn't have problems running it!
    I have updated all the common drivers expect for a couple of them i'm not really sure about updating.. basically when I went to the msi download page for my laptop, there is one tab which displays 'firmware' - and contains not only firmwares, but also a vga bios.
    I have not updated:
    BIOS
    VBIOS
    Firmware
    My questions are:
    N.A) Is updating these drivers gonna improve my overall laptop performance?
    1) Which bios should i update? 50y or 70y? I don't use raid, i'm asking just to be sure
    2) How can i update the VBIOS? I couldn't find a tutorial for it, can you explain it to me?
    3) How can i update the firmware? And which one of the twos (1513 and 2513) should i install? Again, can't find a tutorial for this.
    I have Win 8.1 as OS.
    Hope to solve my issues as soon as possible so I can start enjoying my new laptop! Thanks in advance guys.

    I'll start with my normal speech....
    How do you know it was throttling? You don't give any temperature information or anything else.....
    What color was your power button when you were gaming? If it was white....well, you were using the Intel iGPU and not the NVidia, which would explain why you were seeing lagging and what you thought was 'throttling'.
    I saw this recently myself when I ran Brutal Legend for the first time....it was still using the Intel iGPU. As soon as I setup the NVidia driver to switch for the game, suddenly everything worked AWESOMELY, and it was great.
    Give a bit more information (specifically temperature, and color of the power button. Use MSI Afterburner if you need to) and we'll see what the next steps should be.

  • GT70-2pc Dominator's display on integrated graphics

    Alright, so this time the issue is different. By using rivatuner I found out that currently my laptop display is not using the dedicated graphic card which this laptop boasts.. By looking on the internet, it seems that there would be an option on the BIOS that does the trick, yet by going there, I just can't find this option anywhere..
    TL;DR - How do I make my laptop display use the dedicated graphic card instead of the integrated? Ofc I don't mean to solve this by putting applications on gpu-mode from nvidia control panel (this is not a troller-friendly thread anyway)

  • GT70 2PC Dominator GTX870M. games running at less than 20fps

    i added an SSD (samsung 250gb) to my new GT70 2PC Dominator GTX870M.
    i formatted the HDD.
    i installed a fresh Windows 8 on the SSD. (the HDD had windows 8.1)
    i installed all the drivers. and updated them and updated windows.
    Bioshock Infinite runs at less than 20fps at medium setting. totally unplayable.
    Assassin's Creed 4 Freedom Cry runs at 15fps at low settings. also totally unplayable.
    battlefield 4 runs fine Ultra 1080p ~ 60fps.
    what is wrong? this cant be normal. i see videos people playing them at Ultra settings with 40fps+
    could it be that the Intel Graphics card is taking over and the GTX870M not kicking in?

    Yup it might be that.
    Go through Nvidia Control Panel and for Global Settings set GTX to be used.
    Make sure that you're running newest drivers too, as this might be the problem (even games' updates/patches )

  • MSI GT70 2PC Dominator Wifi Dropping

    Hi there, new user here, first of all I have already read the existing post regarding wifi drops and fixes. To clarify, below are the steps that I have taken as per suggestions that i found on the net:
    1. Uninstalled the Killer Gaming Network manager program and only using the wifi/lan drivers.
    2. Re installed updated killer gaming network manager and drivers from both MSI and Killer websites.
    3. Change the maximize the power saving mode in the battery section for wireless adapter.
    4. Unable the power management settings in the network wireless via network and sharing centre.
    5. Use several different drivers via the update drivers window in network adapter (via device manager)
        - ive used the standard killer n1202 drivers.
        - ive used the qualcomm atheros wireless network adapter (both microsoft and qualcomm)
        - currently using the qualcomm atheros ar9462 802.11a/b/g/n wifi adapter
    These are the steps that i've taken, one of the many that i can remember doing at the moment. Still to this day my wifi issue persist.
    I refuse to believe that this is a hardware issue because the current GT70 that i am using is a brand new laptop that MSI has given me after I RMAed my earlier GT70. So you can say this is the 2nd laptop they've provided to me after making a hell lot of noise to them because my first GT70 had an unknown issue 1 week after light usage.
    I've ran out of ideas on what to do, i've been sucking this up for the past 3-4 months as i cant find a fix. I've done everything i can except updating the bios, which i was advised not to since I do not know how to flash or update my bios (whichever term you call it).
    My wifi drops so often and I keep having to flush my dns (using ipconfig /flushdns) every 30 mins or so just to able to use the net, much less play any games.
    So i was wondering if there was any steps that I missed? Im really in desperate need for help as i no longer know what to do.
    I appreciate any help that you guys can provide. Thank you very much!

    Just a quick update on my wifi after installing two different 'realtek drivers' from the MSI website.
    It's still too early to tell, I will update further once i start gaming.
    Just incase you guys wanna install the drivers, proceed to this link:
    http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GT70-2PC-Dominator.html#down-driver&Win8.1 64
    Download this two files:
    Realtek Audio Drivers (222.21MB)
    Realtek Cardreader RTS5227-GR & RTS5249-GR (10.3MB)
    PS: I downloaded the audio drivers just cause it had the name realtek in there lul!
    Keep me posted!
     UPDATE
    After 2 hours of gaming and surfing the web, i didn't had to constantly flush my dns. Although my wifi bar alternates between 4 and 5 bars, im guessing this is normal (as the wireless modem isn't in my room but the room opposite mine).
    So far so good, is it a coincidence? I am not too sure, give me a few more days of test run and it'll be more conclusive. I say you guys should update your drivers, no harm in trying right?

  • Can i upgrade me GT70 2PC dominator whit gtx 870m gpu to gtx 970m?

    I have http://dragonarmy.msi.com/home/weapons/GT70-2PC-Dominator can i upgrade me GPU to GTX 970m?

    Quote from: JakeSully;114676
    If your warranty was vaild and you did this then if laptop breaks soon or any issues occures you wont get any warranty repairs then it will cost you for it. So best is to avoid doing any modifications on system for now and let it be or let MSI Service do it for you so your warranty isnt voided.
    I am aware of that, however, I have yet to have a single MSI laptop break on me over the past 5 years of ownership and 3 different laptops.  I have modded and swapped out CPUs and GPUs on all of them without a single issue.  As long as you know what you're doing and have PC building and mod experience you should be OK.  However, the issue comes when people don't know what they're doing and mess something up.
    MSI makes a sturdy machine, and there is no reason why upgrading your graphics card to a card that is also supported by your model should cause any sort of issue.

  • MSI GT70 2PC Dominator, how to know if all cores are at their 100%

    Hi, i would like to know (for gaming proposes) if all my CPU cores are running at the their 100%? ive been having some issues with games, and a friend told me if there is no powersaving features enabled on your notebook, i have checked power options and everything is running fine, but it seems somehow that the cores aren't running at their maximum performance, i usually just plug the notebook to the AC adapter without the battery and play like that, any suggestions? maybe something from the BIOS? ty!

    other games such as Path of exile, Thief and Castlevania are working flawlessly without a single problem
    According to the situation, there should be no problem with the unit.
    Now it's good to have some more information of the issue, but there are still some parts which you didn't mention.
    Also, it's important that you don't mix up all problem together since they may have totally different cause. For example, sound delay in game is different with the music playing in Spotify.
    Form what I've read, you have issues I list out below:
    1. 0.2 secs screen tearing.
    Quote
    its not a common freeze or stutter, its more like a 0.2 seconds screen tearing while fps are dropping
    You can try to adjust the graphics settings(use the proper graphics setting) in game by turning off different graphics settings one on one and turn the V-sync "ON" to avoid screen tearing. (when the V-Sync is on, the FPS will only at either 60 or 30, so to find a optimize graphics setting is important.)
    2. Watch Dogs crashing after 20 mins play.
    Quote
    the screen and sound completly crashes after 20 minutes of playing and i get an error you will see on the image attached to this reply
    Q1: Can you explain what kind of crash do you have when playing Watch Dogs?
    For example: system hang and you have to force shut down, auto shut down, BSOD, system auto restart...
    Q2: The attachment file is missing.
    3. Choppy sound from Spotify.
    Quote
    CPU usage is at 5% tho and while listening music on spotify, the sound starts to get a bit choppy
    Q1: What's the choppy sound you mean? Do you mean lantency? or the sound is missing? It's better that you can provide a sound file for us?
    Q2: Are you listening to the local music files or online music files?
    If the files are on your HDD, it could have the latency from HDD's power saving feature and like I mentioned BEFORE, the crystal disk info or HDDAlive can help with the problem.

  • MSI GT70 2PC Dominator USB 3.0 Issues

    Hey folks,
    Hopefully somebody can be of assistance, me and my friend both purchased the MSI GT70 2PC a couple of months ago, fantastic laptop by the way. The only issue that both of us have been experiencing is with the USB 3.0 ports.
    The problem is that when we connect a USB 3.0 External HDD it occasionally works fine but more often than not it will continually connect and disconnect almost as if it is not getting the correct amount of power. Now we both work in a computer repair shop so we have tried all of the basics, ensuring drivers are up to date, changing the HDD cable and due to where we work we have managed to test over 5 different brands of USB 3.0 external drives, used and brand new, all of which work fine on other computers via USB 3.0
    Having read a few posts it seems that others have experienced this but there is no solution that I have found. Is there something we have missed or is this awaiting a driver update? The laptop is fantastic for my development needs however a £1300 laptop that can't reliably connect to a USB 3.0 drive is somewhat disappointing - I remain optimistic that there is indeed a solution!
    Thankyou in advance for any help you can provide.

    Hello markusbarrot,
    The USB 3.0 high-speed electric signal is easy to be interfered and this will make the device suffer intermittent connections/disconnections. Not every USB 3.0 device suffered by this. It depends on the quality of the circuits between the USB device and the mainboard of the laptop.
    1. Suggest you get a shorter USB 3.0 cable or an interference-resisted (magnetic shield) USB 3.0 cable. Some problems can be resolved by this.
    2. Update the firmware of your external USB devices. Some problems can be resolved by this.
    3. Return the laptop to the MSI authorized service providers or your local dealers for inspection on the USB ports. They can make sure your USB ports do work in the spec. or not.
