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.

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-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?

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 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 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 X800XT PE (Low fps problem)

Ok, I dont know why I didnt think of this before, but I've been searching all kinds of forums lately trying to get find some answers as to why I seem to be getting really low fps with my MSI X800XT PE.
Theres no doubt about it. These cards are quick. The problem I am having is that it just doesnt seem to be kicking out the right amount of FPS during game play. For example, when I run 3dMark'05 (ver 1.1.0), (I only have the free version) My total at the end of the test is 5621. This is after I changed to the Omeaga Drivers (2.5.90) Before I upgraded to them, I was still running the catalyst 4.10 drivers and getting about 1000 points less.
As for Counter Strike:Source I did the video stress test. Video settings are all set to the default recommendation for my system. So everything is on high, Reflect world, Anisotropic 8*, antialiasing 6*, vertical sync disabled. My score was 83.1fps.
According to just about everyone else who owns an X800 Pro or XT PE they are all getting much higher results than myself.
I am also running DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
I would really appreciate it if anyone has any ideas as to why my scores are so low.
If you require more info please give me a shout.
Look forward to your reply.
DOA.

Thanks for the feedback and links guys.
Basically I've done most of my comparing on futuremarks page. After you do a test it asks you wether or not you want to submit and compare. So I select all the hardware I own and see what others got. Looking through the pages it just seems that my score is in the last few pages. Another thing when I play CS:Source, during game play I see the fps drop down to 20fps during a heavy battle esp if there is water in the area. Do you guys get that. Theres a console command that shows you how many fps you get a second. Bare in mind that I play it @ 1600*1200 AS 8* AA 6*. I just thought that these cards would hardly ever drop to 20fps no matter the res and detail.

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.

GT70 20C Low FPS while playing without charging

Low FPS while playing without charging. I turn off economy mode and still have problems with FPS.
Any suggestions?:(

This is cause by Nividia Geforce Experience which limits the fps to 30 when gaming with battery due to energy saving technique. If you want more performance for the cost of shorter battery life. Open NVidia GeForce Experience. Click Preference and go to Battery. Uncheck set frame rate target when on battery.

MSI GT70 2PE Pro Shuts off after power up and sleep mode, then works

I got this laptop less than a year ago and I am kinda getting upset about my decision buying it. It is the GT70 Dominator Pro with the GTX880M graphics card.
Only thing I did was install a SSD drive for my main drive and use the 1TB drive that it came with as a storage drive. Everything was working perfectly for about 4 months without any issues.
My problem started with the laptop shutting off in the middle of playing Watch dogs and wouldnt boot to windows, so i went to the BIOS and found out for some reason it changed my primary drive to the storage so i changed it back and all was good. After about a month it similar thing happened but this time I couldnt even get to the BIOS, after pressing the F10 or whatever it is for BIOS the computer freezes in a black screen.
I contacted MSI and sent it out for warranty, they had to change the whole motherboard as it was not serviceable (Issue was a faulty MB).
Last week the laptop started acting up again, here is my issue. When powering it on the fan and light comes on but after couple of seconds it turns off, then powering it on for 2nd time it works. This happens 80% of the time, i have to turn it on twice before it works. Even more frustrating thing is when it is at Sleep mod, I press the power to wake it up, so it does but before getting to windows screen it shuts off.
I was wondering if anyone have similar issue like mine or know what could cause this. My tower PC that i built have a MSI board and graphic card thats why I went with their laptop but I had pretty bad experience with it so far and its not a cheap laptop either. I might have to go through another warranty work if it keeps giving me the issue.

Try update IRST driver.

G 50-45 low performance and even lower fps in games

hi
i purchased this notebook some days ago and since then im going crazy from it.
Installed counter-strike 1.6 and csgo to just find out they both lags?
In both games i have unbelievable fps drops,especially in 1.6.
I updated all drivers , even the bios , windows also has all its updates and everything is on high performance plan ,but it didnt fix it.
And no programs are running in the backround and the fps drop porblem still exist.
What can i do?
Do i have to sell this notebook and get another one?

Quote from: SixThe9th;108114
I ve just run FurMark burn test averaging 24 FPS scoring 1481 that is even below people who have ancient cards like gt580 scoring twice as much !!!! ?
IS there any solution to this problem or I have simply wasted money on overpriced high spec gaming machine that actually cannot deliver the performance of its beast GPU ? Am I really screwed ?
You can/should repaste your cpu/gpu. The cpu really showed the most improvement for me, 90c full load now 80c full load. My gpu still hits 92c, but far far less often, and throttles even less. I have the 880m, so I can only imagine a 870m would show even more improvement. Also, on demanding games if your using recommended settings, you need to use the cooler boost fan. All games I play are fine, I see 92c and small throttling pretty much dialed down to stock clocks instead of boost. But when I played AC BF (assassins creed black flag) just yesterday, I started off at 60fps (capped due to my preferred settings), within 30 min I was at 92c, core clock 500-700mhz down from 920 stock and 989 boost, and 34fps. Fan didn't make a difference in this only case. Normally fan is well below the 4600rpm max fan, but in ac bf, it was at 4200rpm anyway. But that's been my only actually performance limiting experience. And I play titanfall insane, cod ultra, crisis high, bf4 high, borderlands 2 everything maxed. Crazy how one game can cause all kinds of maxing and throttling, yet all the others, just fine.
But with AC BF, I was using my own settings first launch, which was high and some aa and stuff, that played similar to everything else, 92c some limited throttling. But when I used optimal, not sure what it all changed, but that was the 1/2 fps as before, throttle so very bad.

MSI GT70 2PE Audio Crackling Problem

Hello all, just hoping any tech geniuses can help me out here:
Whenever i'm playing any sort of graphically demanding games such as Far Cry 4, etc.. 5-10 minutes into the game, the speakers will start producing these audible crackling noises.. 1 minute later the audio slowly fades out along with the crackles from the right speaker to the left speaker.. Exiting the game will eventually bring back the audio to its normal state after a minute or two.. However, i've noticed that this doesn't occur when the laptop is running on battery alone..
1. Already flashed to the latest BIOS
2. Tested all sort of updates for the audio drives
3. Resetted the PC to its original settings
None of the above worked :(

Quote from: RX-8 on 18-March-15, 10:05:47
1. If pressing "Fn+Num 0" to mute the sound, will the crackling sound also disappear? (To identify the noise from system audio or other noise)
2. If pressing "Turbo Fan" function, will the crackling sound also disappear or get louder? (To identify it's the fan noise or other noise)
3. If no warranty concerns, remove the bottom cover and remove the speaker cable and power on to wait for the noise again. (To make sure the noise is from speaker or electric components)
1. If you mute or disable the speakers, you can still hear a low crackling or hissing. When you re-enable or unmute it gets louder again and can sometimes make a popping or hissing sound when toggled, but is always crackling.
2. No, the only thing that causes the crackling to disappear is closing or alt tabbing out of a game back to the desktop, then waiting 1-3 minutes for the crackling to slowly get quieter, then finally disappear.
3. Which cable is the speaker cable? is it the one just below the fan?
One thing I do not believe has been said here. When a speaker starts to "crackle" you can hear the real audio start to distort and get quieter before it switches to full on crackling noises and you cannot hear system audio any more.
