GE70 Nvidia issues, low quality and can't update

I've been having major issues with my brand new MSI GE70 laptop. When I run games like Skyrim and Civ 5 they look even worse than my old laptop, it automatically detects my graphics card as  and suggests the lowest settings and when I try to make them better I get "blocks" here and there, they don't run smoothly at all. Today I tried to update the drivers for the Nvidia card to version 320.49 and when I tried to it said it couldn't install because they couldn't detect I had the correct gpu. I'm so fed up with all this! I paid a pretty penny for this laptop and I expected it to perform well and my games look, as I said before, worse than on my old one.
Does anyone know what's wrong? And why I can't install the latest drivers? :(

The reason why you can't install the drivers is because MSI decided that the card would only be supported by drivers submitted by MSI.
You will need a modded .inf in order to install other drivers, which I can help you with if you follow these steps:
Go to: control panel - device manager - display adapters - right click on your GPU - properties - details - hardware ids and take a screenshot and upload it for me.
Is the laptop set to high performance? Download GPU-Z and choose "Show highest reading" on GPU core clock, GPU memory clock, GPU temperature, GPU load.
Play a game like skyrim with GPU-Z enabled and take a screenshot of the highest readings in sensors and upload.
Have you monitored the temperatures btw? The GPU could be throttling if the temps are too high.
Please don't give incorrect information to our users. THIS INFORMATION IS WRONG.
MSI's OEM GTX7XXM cards for laptops were not included in the 320.49 RELEASE driver, but are in the beta driver.
Most likely this user has a GE70 20X laptop, which will have one of the newer GTX7XXM series graphics cards in it, which is not supported by the most recent 320.49 RELEASE driver, but if you download the latest beta driver (326.49 I believe?) it should install just fine.
NOW, the real question is if the dedicated card is actually working properly. Is the dedicated NVidia card recognized in device manager? Is the driver installed correctly?
The games in question (Skyrim, Civ 5), are they using your dedicated NVidia card or the Intel Integrated GPU? What color is your power button during games?
Lastly, as Nakednakedguy asked, what are your GPU and CPU temperatures? The GPU and/or CPU could be throttling due to high temperatures as well.
Answer these few questions and we can go further in diagnosing your problem.

  • Final rendering of video is low quality and too bright

    Here is the link to my original video clip, the video clip in the project, and the final rendered copy all on my monitor at the same time:

    Here is the text of each video when fullscreened screened:

    The picture got downsised which makes it harder to see the issue,but here is most of the it:
    The final copy is lower quality and way too bright. Noticibly too bright. The clean darks turn into rough gray, and the quality is noticibly lower as well. I have checked the "use maximum render quality" and tried exportiing in AVI and MP4, and nothing is fixing it. Any ideas?

    First of all, what type of file do you need?  If you're looking for lossless quality then I would suggest exporting a quicktime file with the Animation codec or some other lossless codec.  However, these type of files are huge and they might not play back on your desktop.  But, if you're just going to put this video on the internet when you're finished with it then I would suggest starting with one of the Youtube or Vimeo H.264 presets and modifying it to match your clip.  It still won't look as good as your original, but you can't expect miracles when working in SD and exporting to H.264, which is a very lossy codec to begin with.  If you want to try exporting to a lossless Quicktime or AVI, then change the settings so they look something like this:

  • Why is it that when I connect my iPhone 5S to my Windows Vista computer, the photos made with my iPhone are all of very low quality and most of them are turned upside down?

    Why is it that when I connect my iPhone 5S to my Windows Vista computer, the photos made with my iPhone are all of very low quality and most of them are turned upside down?
    On another note, the iPhone tells me that it's ''busy'' when opening a photo on the computer.
    (I tried restarting my PC, connecting via another USB port, importing using PhotoStream, etc...)

    Are you using the front or rear camera? When you say they are low quality, are you referring to file/pixel size, or how the picture looks? As far as upside down, how are you holding the phone? Older versions of Windows have issues reading the Metadata from the pictures and will not display the same.

    It changed the Aspect ratio of the video, as if it had been shot on a phone instead of a camera. When first looking at the footage it was in landscape aspect but when I transfered it to a memory unit to put on a different computer it uploaded it in a different ratio

    iPads don't have a filesystem like a computer, Files of that nature must be associated with an App and reside inside that particular App's file space.  So the way to find them is to open the App that opens that file type and look in its file or document list for them.

    Sounds like an App Store issue. I'd ask on this forum:

  • My mac is a 10.5.8 what steps do I take to up grade? I have an iphone 5 and can't update my phone on itunes.

    My Mac OS X (10.5.8) what steps do I take to up grade? I have an iphone 5, and can't update my phone using itunes.

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

    I have an Ipod touch 6 and can't updated apps. When I click update, nothing happen. Any clue?
    Thanks,

    There is no iPod Touch 6.  The latest generation is iPod Touch 5.  Perhaps you mean you have an iPod running iOS 6.1.6.  If so, you have a 4th generation iPod which cannot update past 6.1.6.  A 5th generation iPod can run iOS 7
