MSI GT70 2PE - GTX 880M Not boosting

Hi,
I have a gtx 880m which has never boosted, the nominal clock is 954MHz and 993MHz of boost. Neither games or synthetic tests make the card reach the boost clocks. I have recently changed my vbios to the new version MSI has uploaded, also, overclocking does not work, the card reaches a maximum of 954MHz.
Monitoring using MSI afterburner, newest drivers, temps around 75ºC under load.
I would appreciate any advice if anyone knows what could I do.

Did you update the latest BIOS and EC firmware of your model first?
And suggest you use the NVIDIA graphic driver from MSI (not from NVIDIA) to test again.

  • MSI GT70 2PE LOW FPS

    My brand  new MSI GT70 2PE DOMINATOR 880M with 8GB of video memory was working just fine, after about 3 weeks of usage, roughly 2 hours a day of Call of duty it started giving me low fps after 10-15 minutes of playing.
    These are the following which I have tried to fix the problem:
    Changed advanced power settings for maximum performance.
    Changed 3D settings for each game individual to have maximum performance in power settings
    Changed 3D settings globally to have maximum performance in power settings.
    Obviously I have chosen NVIDIA GPU to be used.
    When none of these worked, I tampered the void sticker and changed thermal paste, some of the paste was off the GPU and CPU but mostly it was there, so changed it, for both, screwed it back together, and NOTHING HAS CHANGED,
    Temperatures before changing the paste and after did not change as well, while playing are around 60 celcious for GPU and CPU, 140 Fahrenheit.
    So after 5 minutes of playing with new paste FPS drops again to 10 FPS per sec in COD, and this is the case for every game that I have, total war series, cod series, poe, skyrim, every game.
    So does that mean that my GPU is faulty ?
    One thing I've remembered; while I had this issue already, I switched off power plug and played on battery i Played total war 2 on strategic map mostly so fps wasn't noticeable there, after power for to about 28% I switched power back in and started playing COD, for 2 hours while it was charging and I was playing FPS was perfect. Next day problem was there again, I tried to do the same, switched it off till it got to 30% switched power back to play in hope that FPS will be normal, but it was never like this agian, same 5FPS problem.
    And also during 3 weeks of playing I noticed that my power button was mostly of white color, it was changing sometimes to red but mostly white, right now it is only red, if you guys can help me out, id really appreciate it, really this is most powerful notebook there is, i saved for year to get it and I got this crap, I am very very

    So I might have something here, during 10 minutes of play with normal FPS and also while not running anything, 4 cores gave readings:
    0:3692-3791
    1:3592-3692
    2:3592-3692
    3:3592-3692
    So not numbers in between, just these 2 figures for each core
    While not running anything readings on CPU temperature would change randomly between 48c and 55c every 1/3 of a second on every core, every core had different readings in between these ranges.
    After FPS drop readings changed at once to:
    0:3292-3791
    1:3292-3692
    2:3292-3692
    3:3292-3692
    CPU clock would change every 1/3 of a second and also ratio would change rapidly 33,36,37
    I closed the game, for 20 minutes leaving notebook turned on, readings stayed the same giving "after" fps readings, I tried to launch the game again, there was
    immediate low fps
    Consistency of readings on CPU temperature while running the game before and after FPS drop look the same and would change randomly between 54c and 60c every 1/3 of a second on every core, and for every core temperature would be different
    I left notebook for 30 minutes, turned off power fan, and temperature would be between 60 and 64 on some cores and 64 and 69 on others, while not running anything..can that mean that I applied new thermo paste incorrectly ?

  • MSI GT70 2PE 880m Bus Interface Question

    I recently purchased an MSI GT70 2PE with an nvidia 880m gpu
    The question i have is should the card be running with a bus interface of x4 at all times?
    gpu load when other screenshot was taken:
    The above is a screenshot of gpu-z while running its render test
    the bus interface always reads x4 3.0 even with games such as planetside 2 running at max settings
    I am on the latest nvidia driver and did install the vbios update from msi
    From other forums ive gathered it should be running at x8 when idle but should be reaching x16 when running games or stressing the card?
    If so is there any way to get it to work correctly?
    Edit:
    The only other state i have seen it in is this:
    which is x4 1.1

    Quote from: zipper.sippola on 05-August-14, 02:13:36
    Probably GPU-Z isn't up-to-date with 880M; my 680M is recognized as x16.
    This is probably it. Even though the 880m is a refresh of 780m and has been out a while. There are still plenty of programs and utilities that don't even identify it or know what it is. I'm sure things will get better.
    If you really need/want to know if it is 4x or 16x lanes, then run a game on it with clear documentation of settings for that chip and results on a non multiplayer game. If your laptop isn't running all 16 lanes, then it should run far slower than the rest.

  • MSI GT70 2PE Low FPS in game

    Hi all,
    I just bought a MSI GT70 2PE without OS and installed Windows 8.1 and all drivers downloadable on msi.com.
    I'm getting an ultra low FPS in World of Warcraft , a ten years old game !!!!
    Watch my joined screenshot. Do i have miss something ? Is it really possible to buy a recent notebook with such bad gaming results ??

    Yup that is what I needed, now I know your laptops specs. Seems it runs a GTX 880M which should really have no issues at all running games like world of warcraft. Right, first of all, Did you install all the Chipset drivers and so on from the MSI website and are you using the latest Nvidia Drivers?
    As HCH mentioned, make sure you are running the game on the dedicated graphics card. You can check this easily as the power button will be orange if it is using the Nvidia GPU and White if it is using the Intel Intergrated graphics.
    Also, make sure you are connected to net power when gaming.

  • GT70 2PE - Steelseries Engine Not Working

    Hello,
    I have been having trouble with my laptop regarding the Steelseries Engine for my backlit keyboard on my MSI GT70 2PE (880m 8GB) with Windows 7 Professional installed.
    The steelseries engine cannot switch to other modes other than the standard or music/equalizer effect. If it is changed to anything else, the keyboard no longer lights up.
    I've been having this problem ever since I got it back from RMA after sending it in for repair due to my sound card going bad within a month (in which apparently they had to replace the entire motherboard). I sent it back in about a month ago after discovering the problem the day after I recieved it back from RMA. I didn't get much of an update until I called MSI about it and later called me back on it days later. They said my "settings were incorrect" and that they fixed it. They said that one of the other problems I also had mentioned to them was that pressing FN + "+" or "-" on the numpad turning all my backlit keys white and then getting dimmer/brighter was caused because I had Windows 7 installed even if I also didn't had that problem until I got it back.
    This isn't the first time it's been sent to RMA. The first time was sent to XoticPC because the island-style keyboard they had wasn't compatible (had wrong function key icon placements) and that the one of the three installed mSATA SSD's went bad. The 2nd RMA was for the sound card going bad. And then the 3rd being send back for this problem in which wasn't fixed at all.
    My laptop's been in RMA more than double than the time I've actually used the laptop (got my laptop in July of this year). It feels like my laptop's been nothing more than a flop/lemon.
    I have tried the following:
    - Uninstalling and Reinstalling the Steelseries Engine
    - Uninstalling and Reinstalling SCM
    - Reinstalling Windows 7 and Drivers
    - Removed the battery from laptop along with power cord to reset the EC.
    - Flashing firmware for windows 7 backlit keyboard on the MSI support/download for my model.

    I am aware of the active layers and what the Audio mode does. I have Layer 3 and 4 do wave and breathing and those do not light up the keyboard at all regardless of what colors I choose and save (and of course have it as the active layer). I tried pressing FN + "+"/"-" to be sure and still no avail.
    I did discover something though. Oddly enough I installed KLM makes the keyboard function properly. But when I try using the steelseries engine (and close out KLM to prevent conflicts), it still does not work. Could it be a possibility of the wrong motherboard (since they had to replace the motherboard on my RMA and that's when the issue appeared) being installed or anything?

  • MSI GT70 2PE-1620 Recovery problems (no F3 recovery)

    Hi,
    I'm the proud owner of e new MSI GT70 2PE-1620. But now I have some serious problems restoring Windows 8.1 back on it.
    This GT70 has 3 SSD disk, in super RAID 0. For some reason the RAID failed and I to restore the RAID setup again. Which was successful. However my C partition was cleared. Now I have trouble resetting back the GT70 back to the factory setting, because the F3 function during startup does not function. The hidden partition with the MSI recovery files are still there: on the second disk (1 TB disk). I checked using Acronis Disk Manager.
    I tried restoring back with a Windows disk (ISO download from the internet), but then I miss all my MSI tools and drivers. I do not have a MSI recovery CD/DVD disk.
    Please help me to restore this GT70 back to its factory setting.
    Secondly: can somebody tell me what the BIOS settings should be (factory setting) for this GT70. Ex.: should the boottype be UEFI or Legacy?

    Quote from: hch;112898
    I've found a share which might be helpful.
    Try this:
    1. Run the command prompt as administrator.
    2. Type "reagentc /info" and press enter to check the recovery image location and you should see it shows 0 as null.
    3. Type "diskpart" and "list disk" to check your drives.
    4. Select the HDD drive where your hidden partition is locate. Type "select disk X" (X is the disk of you HDD)
    5. Type "list partition" to find your hidden partition. (You'll need the partition name for the recovery directory later.
    6. Type "exit" to exit the diskpart, then enter "reagentc /setosimage /path \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk1\partition4\RecoveryImage\ /index 1"
    (*Note: 1. The harddisk1 is the drive name of your HDD, where your hidden is locate. 2. partition4 is the partition name of your hidden partition you read from step5.)
    After setting up, you can use the windows recovery to do the system restore.
    This should be able to help you restore to the factory settings.
    *You can only choose the option to restore your whole system, so please backup all your files before doing the restore.
    Thanks! I will give this a try. I will you know if this worked. One question before I try this:
    Will this help me restore to the SDD disk? The hidden partition with the restore files is on a 1TB disk. Originally drive D: in Windows. The SSD disk should be C:, the boot disk with the OS.
    ** UPDATE:
    I booted using a USB HD with recovery Windows files, and open up the cmd window. It tried, but it can not find or recognize the "reagentc" command. What am I missing?

  • MSI GT70 2PE-1616NE (Dominator Pro) - help needed

    If I buy MSI GT70 2PE-1616NE laptop, and if I want to clean install Windows 7 into it (it becomes with Windows 8.1 pre-installed), do I have to configure something, why I ask is that this laptop has 256 Gb SSD MSI Super RAID and I assume that it needs some configuring to get it work like it should. It's not like HDD though.

    No, you shouldn't need to configure anything except changing some settings in the BIOS (set it to boot in Legacy mode), and I would also ensure that you use the MSI Burn Recovery tools to make a recovery DVD(s) or recovery USB, in case you decide to ever go back to Windows 8.

  • MSI GT70 2PE DP keyboard software

    Hi there...
    When I got the laptop, it was bearly working at all, but after returning it and they changed 4 or 5 things in it, it have been working very smooth:-) However, got it back with win 8, instead of 8.1, not a prob... but, for the keyboard, I only got a MSI Keyboard LED manager installed, and not the steelseries program that let me config whatever key to the function I want... that function was actually one of the reasons why I bought this pc soon a year ago, and need it back... BUt can
    t seem to find it on the MSI GT70 2PE DP site or the disk that followed the pc, anyone know where I can get this?
    thx:-)

  • MSI GT70 2PE 1624XNE Dominator Pro

    Hello.
    I've been waiting for a MSI GT70 2PE-1616NE, for 4 weeks now. And really need a new laptop, since my old gaming is broke. Then i saw a place that have MSI GT70 2PE 1624XNE Dominator Pro in storage. but it only has one 128gb sd.
    Can i put 2 more in it? at raid 0, so i have 384gb on my c: or do i need some ekstra parts beside the ssd storage to do that? or what is posible to do?
    Hope someone can help me, really need a new computer.

    The mSATA to SATA adapter should be bundled in the unit since you already have one SSD.
    If so, then you can add two SSDs on the adapter which already has three mSATA ports.
    You can confirm with the local store about the adapter.
    If you want to do the self-upgrade, I'll suggest to buy two SSD which is same as the one you already have. Then you'll be able to have a good performance meanwhile prevent the possible compatibility issue. You can also ask MSI service center for the MSI approval list of SSDs. It's recommanded to use the same SSDs.

  • Msi gt70 2PE integrated HD 4600 graphics HDMI port does not appear to work.

    Hi guys,
    I have the GT70 2PE with integrated hd 4600 graphics and with a dedicated nvidia geforce gtx 880m card. The HDMI output does not appear to work.
    I'm tech savvy and cannot figure this out for the life of me. have tried nearly everything.
    lets start from the low level troubleshooting done:
    - plugged in the HDMI cable from a working computer that has HDMI hooked up to it. This did not make a difference from the new cable I bought for hooking up my TV to my laptop.
    - booted the laptop up and do not see a duplicate screen outputting via HDMI, all my video cards in my PC's I've built prior have always shown the HDMI output as a duplicate screen when I had a monitor hooked onto a PC. This makes me believe the HDMI port may be disabled/broken as there is no HDMI output at POST. Only the laptop monitor displays output.
    In Windows 8.1 I've installed the latest 4600 drivers and nvidia 880m beta drivers.(even though installing nvidia drivers shouldn't matter since I've read the HDMI output is tied to the 4600 integrated graphics chip, also if during POST the HDMI output never showed up on my TV, then installing the latest intel graphics drivers shouldn't have made a difference either, which it didnt make a difference).
    I've tried disabling the integrated graphics card then re-enabling it, as noted on the intel forums. - does nothing.
    what I've ruled out:
    -HDMI cable issues = no issues due to other PC's and devices working with the cables. All cable tests are direct connect to the TV, no intermediary devices such as hdmi splitters etc.
    -BIOS has zero options for graphics card options.
    Any ideas before i RMA this laptop? I'm at a loss.

  • New MSI GE70 2PE laptop screen not turning on/potential graphics problem

    Hi all,
    This is very frustrating for me!
    I've just bought a brand new MSI GE70 2PE gaming laptop for my partner and turning on causes the power on light to blink blue and orange - something i'm struggling to find any information online for. The screen remains black with no backlight or turning on. I have tried plugging the laptop through VGA into my monitor and it also says it cannot pick up any signal.
    This is leading me to think it is some sort of graphics related problem. The disc drive is ejecting, I can hear the processor ticking along and all the fans etc are on - so it's not completely dead.
    The fan is actually pumping out fairly warm air too, when left idle which to me seems a little odd too - I wouldn't thought it would be struggling at this point.
    I have no idea what is going on, if the laptop is completely faulty or its something I am overlooking. It's supposedly 'brand new' - well the box was sealed and this problem has occurred from the first time I have tried to boot it.
    I've tried running it on battery, purely on AC and this doesn't seem to make a difference.
    Any ideas people? This is super frustrating and I don't want to have to get in contact with MSI about this for some sort of warantee job.
    Thanks in advance! 

    Hello hybridoriental,
    Since your laptop is still brand new one under the warranty, I'll suggest you send it to the MSI service centers or MSI authorized service points for inspections.
    The power light in orange means the system is accessing the discrete GPU. Looks like your laptop stuck in a loop before it started the BIOS. Just make sure you installed the battery and plugged the AC power before you turn it on. If it still doesn't work, it would be better and time-saving to send it to someone whom can inspect and take care of the laptop rather than figure it out by yourself. 

  • MSI Gt70 dominator gtx 870m touch panel issue

    Hi!
    The touchpanel of mine msi gt70 dominator stopped working after I upgradded the EC.
    I cant use the Fan boost anymore. I still can activate or deactivate wifi through SCM but there is no option to use the Fanboost. Can anyone help me ?

    Yes you probably need BIOS too to work with newest EC.
    But tell what are your current BIOS and EC versions 1st,
    look for them in BIOS setup system information
