MSI GT70 dominator pro 880m upgrade to k5000m

Hey guys, I'm wondering if I can upgrade my 880m to a k5000m graphics card?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NVIDIA-QUADRO-K5000M-4GB-GDDR5-Video-Graphics-Card-GPU-HP-Dell-Clevo-MSI-M6700-/151034359663?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item232a596f6f
I realize ill need to get the right drivers, but also wondering if my 880m heatsinks would fit the k5000m or if I would need to find one of those as well?

Quote from: zipper;110654
Upgrade? K5000M has less shaders, slower clock and is probably 30% slower on games. Do you need a Quadro for professional work?
Well if its easy enough, I can swap back and forth.
But I use laptop for rendering 90% of the time, and titanfall and borderlands 2 are probably my most played games. But I do have dual gtx 770's in my desktop so heavon forbid id have to use them if I want to play. But yes, I do use more professional programs than I do gaming.

MSI GT70 Dominator Pro Inconsistent Frames

I have MSI GT70 Dominator Pro and I noticed that there has been slight decrease in game performance after playing the game for 7-8 hours. I am currently playing Tomb Raider 2013 and before I started playing the game I did a overall performance test of my laptop with a built in benchmark.
My Specs:
Intel Core I7-4800mq
Nividia Geforece GTX 880M 8GB
1920*1080 LCD 17.3 inch Screen
16 GB Memory
1TB 7200RPM-128GB SSD
Initial Benchmark before playing the game.
Tomb Raider (2013) on Ultimate setting (Tressfx on)
Min-34
Max-68.0
Avg-49.1
Post Benchmark after playing for 7-8 hours
Tomb Raider (2013) on Ultimate setting (Tressfx on)
Min-28.2
Max-58.0
Avg-40.7
Note: GPU and CPU same temperature on both initial benchmark and post benchmark. GPU (max-76C) and CPU (Max (55C). Same background programs and same video card drivers and same game version. I would like to know why there has been decrease in performance even though the factors are the same.

Welcome to the MSI club buddy! ....there have been quite a number or threads about inconsistent/low frame rates. I too own an MSI GT60 with GTX870M and seeing inconsistent frame rates. Hope some vbios update fixes this

MSI GT70 dominator pro 890 For workstation

Ive posted this on the 'workstation' section, as it would fit better there, but my laptop is technically the gaming. So, yes it is a double post one in each forum.
Wanted to know if my laptop was good for rendering, if there were any tips or tricks for using my laptop for video editing, or any tips or tricks for using vegas pro 13 in general. Newbie to this program, normally use cyberlink powerdirector 12.

Question of the rendering process. If I have gpu accelerated turned on in normal preferences, but render using cpu only in the actual final render as options screen,, my 15 min movie takes about 22 min. Temps skyrocket cpu wise for first 5 seconds then calm to 90c (80c with turbo fan), gpu gets to 70c (60c with turbo fan). CPU is around 80% resourced, gpu core max, memory clock max, gpu load 15%.
But if I have same gpu acceleration on main preferences, and change to gpu rendering only under the actual final rendering as options, it takes 28 min, cpu is at 68% (80c max fan), gpu core and memory max, gpu load up from 15% to 30%, memory controller up from 3% to 11% (65c temps).
So what I see is that gpu rendering preferred options but render cpu only, uses some gpu but more cpu, and gives faster results, than total gpu rendering with more gpu power and less cpu.
Shouldn't gpu rendering be far quicker than cpu? I know my cpu is good, but thought that the 880m would definitely beat it out in rendering.

Normally I would like to say this is very good choice, but since MSI have real workstation, I recommend you check below link to find the real machine for OpenGL graphics works!!

Yup, great recommendation, and also what I thought and spent about 2 weeks researching before not buying. The most often supplied k2000m chip is crap. What it does for professional programs could be compared to the gtx 755m. The k3000 gpu is a decent mid range chip, but the k3000m is a low end. I'd compare it to the gtx 765m for gaming. Only real benefit would be specific drivers. The k4000m is the equivalent of the 870m but for professional. But isn't offered until you hit the $3000 mark. Reading so many reviews and watching several youtube videos showing side by side geoforce vs quaddro, and some programs like photoshop and vegas pro are actually rendered quicker on the geoforce. While Autodesk and maya were within a min of each other.
I know you probably saw this chart
I saw it to, which in the very beginning of my laptop search I thought I had found the perfect laptop. But after reading user forums, talking to/with people first hand, then watching some you tube showing side by side 780m vs 3100m rendering. I decided that until I could get the 4100m at a decent price, the 880m would suite me well.
The 'workstation' laptops are also 4700mq not the 4800-4810mq.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGP0ga6salw
Heres one of photoshop comparison
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryf4b6BMjNk
heres a 2 year old maya comparison. While this one is a little off. I found one a few weeks ago that was perfect and I really should've short cutted it. But for maya and solid works, the geoforce is either right behind or right ahead for speed. But when it comes to quality, the quaddro's cant be touched.
When I use solidworks/maya for a project, normally its just something really quick. In which 100% detail isn't important, but speed is. If/when I need a perfect product, that's what the pc is for. My major projects even on a k4100m (the best mobile chip) it would take countless hours to render. My pc, dual titan black, would take 30-60 min. So I could use laptop to start and work with project, the 880m does a great job at in project editing acceleration, then i save file/settings export. Load on pc, make sure everythings still good, and render on there. But typical large projects are better done on high dpi mouse, mechanical keyboard, and larger monitors.
I'm not slamming you at all. Thanks for the comment, typically you'd be 100% correct. And if i didn't have a full out rendering pc, that would be my only option. Plus, i hope you or anyone reading this learned a little something. Or if im wrong somewhere, i can be corrected and learn something.

Msi gt70 dominator pro /win 7

Hi just bought the gt70 and i,m looking to install windows 7 instead of win8.1
is there any drivers/utilities for win7 ?
thank you

Quote from: thewarturtle on 28-April-14, 00:08:15
Hey take it from me man Windows 8.1 kicks windows 7 arse on this machine!
In playing around with 8.1 it seemed a bit sluggish to me, not to mention i greatly rely on the start menu. (yes, i know i can download a multitude of "start menu" programs for 8.1).And In all fairness, there are a few things i like about 8.1, like the expanded task manager., and easy access to various recovery features (like booting directly to BIOS), but all in all, i still love my windows 7.
In any case, if anyone is interested i have a GT70 2PE Dominator pro
i was able to successfully install Windows 7 in UEFI mode, so i have a dual boot Win 7/Win 8.1 machine now.
All the windows 8.1 drivers had win7 drivers in there too. The only thing i couldn't install was the ENE Tech hardware radio button, because there are only 8 drivers for it. Not even sure what's it's suppose to control, as all my buttons at the top seem to work fine.
SO far, everything is working great, and i have no "unknown devices". I even installed most of the MSI "extras".. Battery calibration works, Dragon Center works, SSE works, Sound Blaster Cinema works, i didn't install the SCM or the supercharger though.
SO for anyone who wants 7, it's an easy install (in legacy mode). Just make sure you grab all the drivers before you install because you won't have any internet access until you install the killer network drivers.
In UEFI it requires just a little bit of work to change some windows 7 files to allow it to boot into uefi, of course i also made things doubly hard, because i also just had to use a USB 3.0 flash drive in a USB3 slot (which requires even more tweaking of the windows 7 files).
In the end i got it all to work, so far.

MSI Gt70 dominator pro connecting second monitor questions

I have the new dominator pro, when I plug in my monitor (23" asus ips) it automatically runs off my gtx gpu. Light turns on, heats up (not hot but not idle). Is there any way to change this to run off intel? I'm not doing anything at all that would require descrite power, right now im just trying to have vevo on monitor for my son to watch videos while I work on my laptop screen.
I know with my asus g750 laptops it was always defaulted to intel gpu when connecting second screen.

Quote from: Dblkk;108055
Yea, I tried that. That's how I always set up multi monitor (then I have the extend/clone/ect options. But when I did that, the resolution was horrible, the picture was a good 4 inches from each side (left/right) and all the way top to bottom. All settings were full screen, regular resolution, eveyhing exactly the way it runs on my other machines. Just total crap on my msi, and NVidia graphics were still on.
I searched all settings and everything looks legit, but NVidia graphics are in charge. Maybe that's just the design of the msi, whenever a second screen is used, it just defaults (without user control) to NVidia. Maybe bios or something hidden?
Not a huge issue, just wasn't sure if it was a common msi thing with an easy fix or not.
I forgot to ask something as well. How is the monitor connected? HDMI? DVI? DP? Maybe a diferent cable might change the result? I'll try the monitor thing on my demo unit when I'm back at Memory Express on Sunday and update.

MSI GT70 Dominator Pro - overheating problems

Hi all! I'm very interested in buying that notebook, but i've heard a lot about msi's overheating problems and it worries me. I am aware that gtx 880m requires a lot of cooling and i would like to know if those infamous overheating problems have been fixed ? i don't want to spend so much money on something that works for a month.... I play a lot and i am very demanding in this case, so i predict i'd be playing 4-5h/day on max settings. Will i have problems ? what to do to avoid it ?

You know what? I already buy it in china. and it's really high temperature .
For example. I play Call of duty 10, and no matter I open the full effect or normal effect , the temperature always can be 93C . I see the Weather temperature is only 20. and If I'm play Batman:Original full effect same problem, the 880m temperature is going to 90+ .I'm use normal effect and close the Physical , then the temperature on 82-85....
I'm very confuse, If the 880m very high temperature .... why use it on laptop.... because if always a high temperature, you really not good feeling to play anything, because high temperature will let you laptop retired more fast.
Any way I also buy a cooling pad, but looks like not any working....maybe that about the laptop inside design....
well, I search on Internet about GT70 design, and I think maybe the original thermal paste not good. So I buy IC Diamond 7 Carat ICD7 ,but I'm not use it yet. because the MSI chinese customer service tell me if you change it or reload it , They do not offer the warranty........looks like a joke......then what now.....? I don't know , some friend told me , it's fine to change the thermal paste, but I still warry, and I'm not continue play the game anymore....because every time the temperature on 90C. I don't any desire to play.
GT70 only 1 Fan for Radiating, not 2 like ROG or Alien, maybe that is a dead design.......
So, these all true story, and if any one has any idea or any advice, please tell me . thanks.
any way I just search the GT70 temperature problem and I in here join every one, so sorry for my bad English.

Msi gt70 dominator pro, battery not charging..

I have taken out and set inn again the battery, i have restarted the pc.. not what i expected from a two day old pc of this price class.

If the battery isn't charging, there isn't much anyone here can do about it.
Your best bet is to contact MSI for an RMA, or return the laptop.

GT70 Dominator Pro GPU question...

Well, this might be a stupid question, and I apologize ahead of time, I am still trying to learn computers and hopefully one day build one. Either way, I have a GT70 Dominator Pro 2PE, running with NVidia 880M 8G GPU, was curious if this thing was able to fit and support running SLI 880M's. I kinda want to upgrade. I know one 880M is amazing and I run every single game i've come across on Ultra, I just want more power really.
CPU: Intel i-7 4910MQ
16G Kingston Ram
256G Crucial Raid-0 SSD with 1TB HD
ANY help would be appreciated on this matter, thank you all in advance!! Oh and, if it is able to support SLI, would it be plug and play or is some serious config required??

Thank you both for the replies! They have been helpful for sure. The main reason I did not go Alienware(I have a desktop from them) is because they were 1200.00 more for a computer with not near the spec's that I have with the MSi. This computer is an absolute beast, as i'm sure you can see in my first post with the spec's.
As far as SLI, maybe I will save it for the desktop that I'm going to build and just use this for on the go gaming. Shame that MSI didn't make it so it could handle SLI.
Random question, as new GPU's come out, will I be able to upgrade my GPU or am I stuck with this?? Also, I currently have to SSD's in Raid 0 but I've been thinking about adding the third SSD option they have on their site, would something like that be plug and play since I'm already in raid 0??
Once again, thanks for the replies, they have been super helpful!!

Considerably improved over the GT70, purchased from Ken at GenTech PC, I am one of the first official GT72 owners on the planet.
So, what improvements does the GT72 bring to the table?
1. Improved chassis design.
2. Larger touchpad, smooth and seamless with the palm rest.
3. A large, cool to the touch, glass-like polymer palm rest.
4. More USB 3.0 ports.
5. A 230W PA.
6. A 1080p webcam
7. Revised Steelseries keyboard, flex-free, with brighter back-lighting.
8. Dual fan cooling solution, with improved chassis vent design, a better fan control profile, ergo.....
9. Better overall temps, with quieter operation.
10. Re-designed chassis, and finally a new model designation.
11. Gone is the problematic capacitance touch bar, replaced with positive touch switches.
12. Gone is finicky Optimus switching, replaced with a simple dedicated GPU switch.
13. mSATA SuperRAID 2, is replaced with M.2 SuperRAID 3, increasing speed, and the capacity of the RAID set. ( M.2 should improve significantly with the Intel 9-Series chipset)
14. Killer Doubleshot Pro, wherein Ethernet and Wireless can be used independently, or simultaneously for improved bandwidth.
15. And finally, due to the overall re-design, a more intuitive gaming experience.

Initial thoughts......
Well, here it is..... the MSI GT72-2PE Dominator Pro-007US, and the photos below do not do it justice. It's Bold, it's Bad, it's Fast, it's Powerful, and honestly, there is not much, not to like about this notebook. If there is one thing I feel could have been better, it would be the display. The Chi Mei CMN1735 has good brightness, color, and contrast, but lacks decent viewing angles.
Anyhow, I have already spent a lot of time with tweaking, photos, benchmarks, etc., so I am going to cut-to-the-chase, and try to make this as short as possible.
As to performance, the benchmarks below attest to the GT72's awesomeness, so what about noise, and the redesigned dual-fan cooling solution? Simply put, it is quieter than the GT70, has a better fan profile, and temps are well managed. Given the hardware, of course you will hear the fans spin up when the system is stressed, but it is not at all disturbing..... and when doing common task, the fans are only noticed if you get close and cozy with the system. Ambient room temperature was 78F, and the system's idle temps were CPU@38C, and GPU@36C. Without the use of Cooler Booster ('stock' fan profile only), during benchmarks the CPU reached 78C, and the GPU averaged 80C, peaking to 82C during the 3DMark Sky Diver benchmark. The palm rest remains cool to the touch, it's polymer is smooth as glass, and it's surface is seamless across the touchpad. Only a mild warmth rises from the keyboard.
The Steelseries keyboard is indeed flex-free, keys are very positive and responsive, and the back-lighting is brighter..... which I attribute to the keyboard's re-design. Looks awesome!
So what about SuperRAID 3, is it fast? Oh YEAH! Performance exceeds SuperRAID 2, as expected, and the system boots to desktop in as little as 6 to 7 seconds. HD Tune Pro reports an average read time for the Toshiba M.2 SSD's, as 1535MB/s..... while the previous SuperRAID 2 Sandisk X100 mSATA SSD's was an average of 1411MB/s. On the other hand, SuperRAID 3 really shines in the Crystal Disk Mark scores. To best evaluate the 'Real-World' performance of SuperRAID 3, I used the PCMark 8 Storage Test. For those unfamiliar with this benchmark, the performance score of 5014 is very respectible. The duration of this grueling benchmark is generally 1 to 3 hours, and the GT72 sped through in just 1 hour and 8 minutes. All in all, I applaud MSI's use of the new M.2 SSD's, but I think performance will most improve with future 9-Series Intel chipsets.
With all the attributes I've mentioned above, it is when gaming, that you understand the mastery of it's intuitive design. The re-designed flex-free keyboard, the large smooth & heat-free palm rest, the spatial Dynaudio speakers, and vivid display, all lend to an immersive gaming experience. So much so, I found myself playing my test game, far longer than originally intended.
To run the GT72 through it's paces, I chose the recently released, AMD optimized title, Sniper Elite III, by Rebellion. With settings max'ed to 'Ultra', the GTX-880M smoothly sliced through the frames like a hot knife to butter, with frame-rates from 54 to 82Fps, averaging at 65Fps. Game play was extremely smooth and fluid, and never a hic-cup or artifact.
To represent the 'Out-of-the-Box' experience, I played with the stock fan profile, and Cooler Booster was never used. Like with my benchmark testing, the fan noise was not disturbing, and game audio though the Dynaudio speakers easily comes to the forefront. Fan noise was never a distraction. Temps of the GPU peaked to 82C, but averaged 64C, and the CPU peaked at 68C, averaging 54C. Again, with hardware like this, and without the use of Cooler Booster, these temps are outstanding.... and the new dual fan design is a success!
Initially I intended my game session to be an hour..... in no time it became 3+ hours, and playing on this notebook is simply FUN!
The look and feel is very stylish, and smooth finish is actually somewhat fingerprint resistant. Overall, with these great looks, it's fully loaded system specs, and stellar performance scores, the MSI GT72 Dominator Pro not only entitles bragging rights..... it DEMANDS them!
All of this has me VERY excited for the upcoming next-gen 9-Series, Maxwell, X-treme Edition GT72! Can't wait!
Enjoy!

GT70 dominator pro not as fast as expected?

I see reviews online of people running Diablo 3 at over 100FPS with the 880m..
Sometimes I'm seeing in the mid 50FPS range..
Temps have never been a problem.. I typically have the fan on high when I game..
My typical firestrike score is around 5200
Ice Storm 88-90k
Cloudgate 18-18.5k
Skydiver around 16,300.
This is the gt70 dominator pro 889.
16gb ram, 128gb ssd, 1tb hdd, i7 4810, nvidia 880m.

Have you played around with overclocking?
Ive played with cpu overclocking. Got 4.0 on 4 cores during boost only. Had what I thought was a great overclock, ran realbench benchmark and intel tuning utility benchmark and got a worse score. No idea why, so I just left voltage stock, and upped boost clocks.
My gpu (I think all) run around the 90c mark while max settings gaming. So any gpu overclock will just bring the thermal limit quicker. But the msi 880m seems to automatically boost to 980mhz ish, which is higher than the normal 940mhz. With throttling, normally I just see it throttle the boost and bring me down to lik e920mhz. No biggie. If I turn on max fan boost, then typically still run high 80's c, but don't feel the need. I seldom play games, I use more for 3d and video rendering which was main point in buying laptop. But when I do game, its titanfall and/or borderlands 2. Both those games are pretty much max settings, 60fps with dips down to 40's while the whole screen is blowing up with explosions and such. But don't notice any lag or anything, so no complaints. My g750 js/jm models were quieter during gaming, but that said, the msi is noticeable fan, and seems every 20 seconds or so the fan kicks in higher for like 5 seconds then back down. Normally during daytime cant notice, but at night while in bed with wife, then that's where the fan noise starts to worry me. Ive only had this laptop for less than a week, but after the last few nights of rendering (which leads like absolutely no fan noise) and gaming (noticeable fan noise but not disturbing).

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.

MSI GT70 Dominator FPS problems.

I recently bought the the MSI GT70 Dominator, and Ive been having some issues with frame rate. Unturned only runs at 25 fps sometimes, and I can't get minecraft over 30fps. League of Legends sometimes dips below 30 fps on max settings, but also sometimes gets above 60fps. Why are my frame rates so unpredictable, and why cant I get minecraft over 30 fps??
Thanks for the help

Do you have GTX 880M? If so you should use 327.23 Drivers. If it is working fine with them then it is famous 880M bug. I suggest you to RMA laptop then and wait couple months to buy GT72 with 880MX or whatever GPU but not 880M.
And you need to google proper modded inf file for this new GPU in 327.23. Search at laptopvideo2go or ask somebody at some forums to add 880M IDs
However if those drivers will not help and you already tried "launch with high performance Gnvidia GPU" then check temperatures. If it goes above 80-90 then it is throttling issues. Overheating.

GT70 Dominator Pro Kyeboard and buttons bug

Hi there
I have just bought the latest GT70 Dominator Pro 3 days ago and problems already start to occur.
This morning the keyboards started acting funny as steelseries app will launch and led will light up under my keyboard, but the keys are not working, i have to restart the laptop 2-3 times for it to work.
Also the touch buttons at the top with fan(ramp up fan speed) and airplane mode, all the soft buttons stoped working, they were all fine yesterday. Maybe there is a bug or something but for a topend expensive gaming notebook I didnt expect something like this to happen!
Can anyone here help me to sort this out before I run to MSI to make a complaint.
Thanks in advance

Update to the new EC Firmware and SSE from msi website should solve your problem.

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
