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)

Is it possible to open up the laptop and connect the card to the laptop screen directly?
Connect the card to the laptop screen? What does that mean?

  • 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.

  • 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.
    http://www.dynaudio.com/int/multimedia_sound/index.php
    There are many thoughtful buttons on middle cover.  (Power/Airplane mode/display on&off/Gaming button/Caps Luck/Num lock).
    More convenience buttons, media/turbo fan/backlight LED.
    We also have Bluetooth/WLAN/battery/sleep/disk indicators in front of laptop.
    Here is GT70 spec and signatures form Sound Blaster CINEMA / nVIDIA /Intel.
    An independent On/Off switch for touch pad.
    Built-in Camera and Mic on the display.
    You can see the thermal design and the battery when we check the back side.
    The silver part is our bass. Just like the cannon on our battleship.
    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!!!

  • 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 )

  • 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 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?

    Any help?
    thx

    What's your EC version?
    Did you download it from here? http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GT70-2PC-Dominator.html#down-firmware

    - Fn and '+' or '-' keys (numpad).
    - Controlled by the button in the touch panel.
    - Controlled by the SSE.
    You can check the solutions mentioned above.

  • 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. 

  • GT70 2PC Dominator Fan issue

    Well, I purchased a GT70 2PC-1631NL laptop 2 weeks ago and I'm having an fan issue. It appearently is constantly cycling on and off every 10 seconds or so, while Dragon Gaming Center reports that the Fan RPM is 0. I also noticed the Temperature of the cpu in Dragon Gaming Center to fluctuate randomly and very inconsistent between 30 and 45 Degrees Celcius.
    THis Fan spinning issue happens several seconds after starting up the laptop and even happens in the BIOS menu and it is very annoying. Updated all the drivers, reinstalled Dragon Gaming Center and ECM but nothing seemed to help.
    Anyone else experienced anything like this before?

    Didn't try that, but considering it happens when the laptop is in BIOS mode, I doubt it is software related. So I already got it packed and sending it of on an RMA to Poland tomorrow. (I'm lazy when it comes to fixing my own stuff, when it is this new :p)
    Just wondered if anyone had experienced anything like it.

  • MSI GT70 2PC dominator not using dedicated video card

    Hi well for the past two weeks ive been having fps and perfomance issues in games like diablo 3, path of exile, guildwars 2, but there was an interesting point in path of exile at the option select screen and it says choose adapter and its stuck using integrated graphics card this could be the problem for most of my games, of course i went to nvidia setting and chose to use the nvidia card as global and changed the setting to use it individually for each game, my nvidia drivers are up to date 344.11 i swear i thought it was something else causing these problems but i can be sure now that i saw this problem in path of exile, everything is set so games use the GTX 870m but i wouldnt be having these kind of problem if it were in use right? please i really need help here, there must be something wrong i bought this notebook 4 weeks ago for 1600$us from bestbuy, you know how i feel :( i just wanna play my games as smooth as possible!!!

    Beside the update you should do, if the problem still remains, I'll suggest to roll back the graphics driver to the version from MSI website.
    *Make sure that you completely uninstall all NVIDIA related programs in Control Panel> Uninstall a program before the installation.

  • Msi gt70 2pc dominator wlan

    Hey guys its me again, i have a question which i cant seem to find on the net.
    In the msi gt70 2pc dom driver page there seems to be two wlan driver; killer gaming wlan driver and intel wireless driver (beta).
    What are the differences between the two? I cant seem to find the intel wireless driver on my device manager despite installing the beta intel wireless driver. As im still having issues with the killer driver, i was wondering if i could use the intel driver. Thx

    The GT702PC has a Killer Wireless N1202 network adapter. There is no Intel adapter in the laptop (source: device manager).
    Edit - This is a Qualcomm Atheros device, so if you absolutely must start messing around with drivers, first step is the driver disc that came with the laptop, then MSI's site, then Qualcomms site.
    Extra edit - According to Qualcomm's site, the most up to date driver for this device is V10.0.0.274, which is the driver I currently have installed on my laptop/for this device. If you also have this driver installed, it's as up to date as it gets. You could try DL'ing it from Qualcomm's site & reinstalling it once you've ruled out other causes for any problem you're seeing

  • Pixelated Graphics and Sound Issue (Gt70 2pc dominator gtx 870m)

    Sup.
    Bought my first MSI gaming notebook a couple days ago. It's fairly nice but it seems I'm having a couple issues.
    First:
    Sound issue. I have a Turtlebeach Z22 headset. When using it on my MSI laptop I get a series of pops every couple words.    The Z22 uses both usb and aux for the mic/headphones and I have tried everything from swithcing jacks, usb ports, updating drivers and playing around with realtek settings. No dice.
    Second: For some reason in game cutscenes have a lot of pixelation.
    I have tried crysis 2 and farcry 3 so far on max settings. Any sort of cutscene that uses a video clip (like Farcry's video tutorials) has a lot of pixelation and is sometimes fuzzy. The games are usually fine for the most part. I have updated my gfx drivers played with gfx setting and set launching options to Nvidia as global.
    Any ideas?

    Do you mean the pop sound? It would be better if you can share a video or sound record of the situation.
    2.
    Quiet manay people talk about the issue, try to change the game setting to improve the situation.
