GS70 Stealth - grainy screen?

Hi,
I just received my new GS70 Stealth and, while I love everything about it, I can't help but notice that the screen is very grainy or dirty. I know this is the nature of most matte screens but I would like to make sure if it's normal in the MSI GS70? The graininess is mostly visible on white surfaces. Also, if it's normal, is there anything I can do to "tweak" it? I admit I'm still in the process of installing drivers etc. Haven't done any calibration yet, so I suppose that might help?

I don't know. I'm not sure how to describe it. It looks like there's a film of water over the display. The "white" surface is slightly "rainbowy". It's subtle, but kinda irritating. Apart from this, or maybe because of this, the screen seems to be causing a lot of eye strain to me. The text seems kinda not sharp. Might be because I switched to Windows 8 also, I suppose.
Also, my space key is squeaking horribly -_- I have until monday to return the laptop or take a replacement. Any suggestions?

GS70 Stealth Pro 2QE Crimson Red Edition Questions

Hello all!
Well I'm looking to get myself a belated birthday present(was waiting on my tax return money) and am looking at the GS70 Stealth Pro-096 Crimson Red model and I have some questions for those of you that own the Crimson Red edition models and some questions as far as the Stealth Pro models in general. My current system is a GE70 with 12GB DDR3, 1 TB Samsung SSHD drive(my own install) and a Crucial M500 120GB MSata drive running Windows 8.1. I like to play several games like World of Tanks, World of Warplanes, and World of Warships(currently one of the beta-testers), but I also use the laptop for various Windows/Windows Phone app development and testing and I also use Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to edit my personal photography and design the images I need for my apps as well as play around with a few things. While this laptop is decent and holding it's own at doing all of those things, it's definitely not a master at anyone of those things as I average 35fps in WOT and it's not necessarily the best development machine. What I'm wanting to do is take my gaming and my graphics/photography work and do that on the Stealth Pro and make the GE70 my development only machine, but I have some questions prior to pulling the trigger on this purchase. As I will still use both for any email, office documents, music, and general everyday computing activity(browsing the web) as well.
1. Does the crimson red finish act as a fingerprint magnet?
2. Has anyone had any issues with running Lightroom and Photoshop on their GS70?
3. Has anyone had any issues with the screen arriving with 1 or more dead pixels on their GS70 that MSI refused to fix?
I'm sure I have more questions but those are the only ones that I can think of at this point. Any and all feedback and assistance y'all can offer me will be greatly appreciated.
CGD

I don't have crimson red GS70, but I have a normal one.
So I can't answer the question 1.
However, as for question 2, it's definitely no problem because I'm always using PS on a GS70 sample, but I never used Lightroom.
And as for question 3, you can refer to this webpage: http://www.msi.com/page/NB_LCDPanel/

MSI GS70 Stealth - Micro-freeze while gaming

Hello,
I just bought a new MSI GS70 Stealth laptop recently (about 2 month ago) and since the start I'm having some problem while gaming. When playing most games, for example League of Legends, Path of Exile and many more I have, now and then, a screen freeze that last about 1 second. My FPS stays the same, so does my ping. It happens not only after a while of gaming and I don't think it has something to do with overheat (I think).
That's for the problem, now I'll answer the few basic questions I know I'll probably be asked :
- My power plan is High performance
- I'm on windows 8.1 Update 1
- I am plugged in when this happens
- I updated Intel drivers and Nvidia drivers to the latest
That's about it, so if you need more information just tell me what and how to get it and I'll post it as soon as possible!
Thanks!

I did three tests, one at rest, the other one after a freeze, and the last one before a freeze.
At rest :
Before a freeze :
After a freeze :
When the freeze happens, we can see that the last bar (Highest reported hard pagefault resolution time) goes from 55621 to 2361273... I guess we might have found something!

[Solved] Problems with my new GS70 Stealth

Hello!
I've just bought my first MSI product. Which is the GS70 Stealth laptop.
Now, I'm not a PC newbie so I immediately checked that everything was working on it as soon as it was delivered at my door.
I began testing the hardware if every key, button, socket etc worked, which so far I haven't found any issues with.
I have however noticed that when I log in after reboot, it takes about 1 minute for my network connection to be established. I tried to reinstall the Killer E2200 driver which didn't help. I have never had this issue before and I've tested with 3 other laptops in my home which did not have this issue.
Is this a common issue with this network card/driver?
I also noticed that when I lock my PC (windows+L), it says "Please Wait". After about 10 seconds which in my opinion is quite long since it has SSD, not to mention RAID 0 SSD's, the lock screen is presented. And when I try to access my desktop again, I press on any key which should prompt me for my local user credentials, it just says "Please Wait" and after about 1 minute, goes back to the lock screen.
I've followed a few Windows 8 threads on Microsoft Technet after I installed about 200 windows updates, which were about the same issues as I had. Microsoft support recommends everyone with this problem to do a recovery. I don't tend to do recoveries on my PC's as I have a bad experience of it. I'd rather just install Windows 8.1 on my GS70.
Before I do that, I'd just like to know if this is anything common with this model or if it's just a faulty Windows 8 installation by the provider?
Best regards.

Alright, I'll just try to reinstall my PC with Windows 8.1. As I'm quite sure this current installation is having issues. If this doesn't make any difference to my network issues, I'll contact their support.
I hope it's nothing wrong with the network card
Thanks Svet for your help.

MSI GS70 Stealth Pro 17, Nvidia Settings won't SAVE

Hello, I bought new MSI GS70 Stealth Pro without windows.
I Installed Windows 8.1 (Original ), than I downloaded drivers from MSI website, and GeForce Experience from Nvidia site, It installed automatically driver 340.52. It strange that on msi site recommended driver is "332.38".
And I have one problem, when I play, use laptop, it doesn't use Nvidia Graphic Card as recommended.
When I go to Nvidia Control Panel, Global Settings> And I change to use automatically Nvidia Card, instead of Intel Integrated> than I click Apply, Control Panel get stuck for 2 sec, Not respondig for 1 sec, and return. Now it shows Nvidia Card as recommended, and when I close Nvidia Control Panel, and Open it again, it shows Intel Integrated as recommend, So why it Doesn't remember the settings. Anybody knows the issue? It's annoying in gaming laptop with GTX870 I can't use it.

Quote from: Hastelloy;110537
I still have problem with Watch Dogs, The game is not using the nVidia graphic card, always when I close the game and open it again, it forgets its settings. What should I do?
Try to downgrade the graphics driver and see if the issue still remains.

GS70 STEALTH powerful tool "Hotkey Config"

Hey guys,
I've noticed that there are some people like me who only owns the previous GS70. (I feel quiet disappointed when I found out that SteelSeries Engine don’t work my GS70 Stealth:( )
Anyway, I've found one post from other forum and there is a guy sharing this tool called "Hotkey Config", it's like a SSE on GS70 Stealth. http://benyouhui.it168.com/thread-5012260-1-1.html
Had it tested on my GS70 and it works better than I thought, so think might be a good idea to share with you guys.
It needs a special version of EC and Hotkey Config.
EC: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1qW0inRu
Hotkey Config: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1sjrYDI1
I've used it in LOL also Street Fighter 4 and have to say it works quiet good.
The delay between each key can be adjusted so I can gives combos easily in Street Fighter.
I’m still trying out on different games, will keep you guys update if I have any news.
PS: Anyone is also a fan of Street Fighter

Quote from: Carolyn;106986
So can i say this software "Hotkey Config" is equal to SSE?
or it's just for macro key setting?
SSE also provide 4 profiles which can be set with different macro key and backlight combination for users to use their NB depands on different scenario.
Does "hotkey Config" include this function too?
Except the keyboard backlight color is controlled by Keyboard LED Manager.
You can create profiles with different macro keys and use them in different scenarios like SSE does.

GS70 Stealth Noob Question. Help?

I kinda have a noobish question. It has to do with the GS70 Stealth. So my laptop is old and I decided to buy a new one. I cam by an offer at this computer store close to me.
Heres the offer
http://www.mediamarkt.at/mcs/product/MSI-MSI-GS70---Gaming-Notebook,10255,252053,1051161.html
A little bit pricey, but oh well. So I'm not that much of a gamer, but I do usually play bf4 or bop2 or cod ghosts. Running them in medium graphics works for me. So I saw the GS70 has a GTX 765M, which is said to run games i stated above fine at High Graphics. Then I notice it was the core i7 with the clock speed of 2.4 Ghz.
Now, back to my noobish question, The offer nor the MSI official website say anything about "Intel Turbo Boost"
So my question is: Does the GS70's processor have Turbo Boost? OR has it been disabled by MSI ( if it can ). OR did they just not state it at all.

It has Turbo Boost. It just doesn't say it on the webpage.

GS70 Stealth Intel Rapid Raid Problems

Hi everybody,
I bought my GS70 a year ago, and last month I decided to try the super raid that they talked about in the website. I already had an SSD almost since I bought it (actually I won a contest in the spanish forum about posting a review of a game using the GS70 :P) but I didn't have enough money to buy the second one.
I have configured the raid 0. Windows recognise it and I have tested it speed:
The pic shows my HDD speed, my first SSD alone and the Raid 0.
My problem is that since I have done it, Intel Rapid says that there is an error and it doesn't recognize the raid
Sorry about the spanish, but the Spanish forum doesn't exist anymore. I can translate the text if someone needs to understand clearly what it says.
Thank you in advance

No, here is not the right board for your post. It should belongs to Gaming Notebooks.
Which GS70 model do you have? The GS70 Stealth?
Here is a tutorial made by MSI which you can have a look:
Make sure you didn't lost any set ups while creating the RAID 0 volume.
If your GS70 originally has the pre-installed system, then create the recovery media for the system restore after you installed the new SSD.
If you're using the windows installation disk, make sure you use the official drivers downloaded from MSI website.

I dont think there is any difference. My understanding is they are same device:
Here are the model Numbers thus so far:
GS70 2OD-229US(NewEgg Build 1x128GB MSATA, 1x500GB HDD 12GB RAM) $1549 w/ free tablet and MSI gift
GS70 2OD-001US(1x128GB MSATA, 1x750GB HDD 16GB RAM) $1549

GS70 STEALTH Ram Upgrade

Hi everyone
I am planing to buy the GS70 STEALTH and i understand from the specification that the device have 16 GB ram , now if i remove the two 8 GB chipset and install two 16 GB ram will it work ?? I know it was mentioned in the specification page that the device have 2 ram slots and support 16 GB but i am confused , does it mean the total maximum memory supported is 16 GB or maximum memory supported for each slot is 16 GB ??
Many thanks

Just checked the specs of it and it does say 16gb max.
Therefore, two 8gb ram sticks are the limit.

GS70 Stealth RAM issue

i have add a kingston 1.5V 8GB 1600 RAM for my GS70 stealth.
but i saw from CPU-ID the original RAM by MSI is 1.3V only.
so will any problem if i use kingston RAM 1.5V at slot 2 running dual channel with MSI original 1.3V RAM?
Slot 1 original RAM from MSI
Slot 2 Kingston add by self

I assume you have hasswell CPU inside which officially support only 1.35V RAM. You can google "Haswell notebook 1.5V RAM" and will see possible problems.
I personally think that at first you will not have problems BUT I have no idea if you will in a long-term period.
