What exactly do you mean? Like when you want to play a game? You need to open up the NVidia control panels, go to "Manage 3D Settings", and then in the right most pane, click on the "Program Settings" tab. In there, you need to add each game/program you want to use the NVidia adapter with when it runs. This allows you to only use the NVidia adapter when you're running programs that require that graphics card. Very neat, and cool feature.

17.3" high performance gaming NB - Limited MSI GT70 Dragon Edition

In recent 2 years, MSI did not focus on the Ultrabook series as many other brands, they mainly focused on high performance of Gaming series Notebooks,
that makes MSI to become a well known gaming products company in the market, also shows how important of the Gaming related market.
MSI Gaming, Dell Alienware and ASUS ROG are the top 3 of the gaming laptop products in the gaming laptop market,
that's the well known brands in the gaming laptop market. The higher product position comes with much higher price range.
MSI extend their Gaming series become more price range segments, GT series on the top, GX series based on AMD platform,
and GE series focus on the performance level market with better Cost/Value, so that more consumer could consider their GE series with better price range.
This time we would like to share the latest version of MSI GT70 - The GT70 Dragon Edition.
The GT70 Dragon Edition totally changed with their box design, make it slimmer and with better looks of their dragon logo to impressed gamers and power users.
The ID design of GT70 Dragon Edition.
Compare with their regular GT70, the GT70 Dragon Edition use red metallic cover design with the Dragon Tattoo on it,
that makes GT70 more gaming style and high performance looks.
The metallic cover with normal light will be deep red, but the metal will reflect light of the color with different angle,
so the color of the red will be lighter when outdoor with sunshine.

34~38℃ when idle mode. (Cooler Boost on)
Run the InteBurn Test to make CPU with full loading - 73~86℃(Cooler Boost off)
Run the InteBurn Test to make CPU with full loading - 72~77℃(Cooler Boost on)
We use idle mode and full loading test to compare the Cooler Boost fan function to check difference.
The temperature difference of Cooler Boost on and off, it's about 2 degree when idle,
and biggest gap is 11 degree when CPU is full loading burning test, so the Cooler Boost really helps when users need it.
Besides the fan performance, about the noise of the cooler, it's not easy to hear the fan noise if Cooler Boost is off, and Cooler Boost will make the noise louder for sure.
But the noise is not high frequency that makes people uncomfortable, if you listen to the music or play games with Dynauido sound system, you will not hear the noise even you turn on the Cooler Boost.
Many notebooks with Dual Core will be 40℃ more when idle mode, and full loading will be 80~90 degree.
So the temperature of GT70 with Core i7 and GTX675MX is really well controlled, MSI did have good design skill on the thermal solution with small space inside the notebook.
Conclusion of MSI GT70 Dragon Edition:
Pros:
1. Dragon Edition makes the chasses with special coating with Dragon Tattoo, also improve the packing a lot. Upgraded hardware on GTX675MX and Killer Double Shot.
2. Dual mSATA3 SSD and 2.5 inch 750GB HDD makes great balance of performance and capacity. 4xDDR3 DIMM with good extend of the RAM size.
3. Rich on IO interface, 3 USB3.0 and 2 USB2.0, with HDMI, D-Sub and eSATA as well.
4. Full size keyboard by Steelseries with back light, add on Turbo, Cooler Boost to boost up GPU and fan performance.
5. Special 2 channel with 1 subwoofer design with Sound by Dynaudio system, the sound quality even better than previous version of GT70.
6. Built in 1920x1080 Full HD matted display, that will makes your eyes more comfortable when gaming or watching movies.
7. Latest Killer Double Shot function, the LAN is faster and WiFi comes with 2x2 and 2.4GHz/5GHz dual band design.
Cons:
1. SSD will be better if use the Micron or Marvell control chip.
2. Maybe IPS panel is more expensive, but still expect the GT70 could option with IPS panel in the future.
3. The NVIDIA graphics driver still need to improve on Windows 8 system, some 3D benchmark or games still can't get good performance on GTX675MX with full speed.
4. Recommend to use Creative Sound Core3D quad core sound chipset.

MSI GT70 Dragon Edition Nvidia Problem

First of all my first languages is'nt English if you can understand I would be gratefull.
I use MSI GT70 Dragon Edition with Ge force GTX 675 MX but Windows 8 doesn't recognise my graphic card.When I click the dxdiag I see Intel Graphic Cards.

Quote from: darkhawk on 14-January-13, 00:09:48
Yeah, ignore dxdiag and put a real 3D game in and see if it switches, thats the real test.
Wow am I late to the party. However I also fear that my GTX780M is not actually functioning in games with my GT70. How do I know for certain that it is "switching" from the Intel HD graphics. My distrust comes from the fact the in advanced tab under screen resolution (Windows 8) it always displays the Intel Graphics. The Nvidia card is listed as working in the device manager however. All of my power setting are set to gaming/high performance and in the Nvidia settings I have the GTX 780M set to global. Thanks is anyone can provide feedback.

Looks great, especially I love the performance of GTX780M!

MSI GT70 Dragon Edition

So I purchased the GT70 Dragon Edition and downgraded it from Win8 64 to Win7 64 and found out that this laptop is made only for wWin8 64 which means there are no video drivers for Win7 64 on it.....That started causing unreal video lags in my online Steam games... I wanted to ask: will there be any new video drivers for win7 64 on the GT70 Dragon Edition laptop?! Or never will?

Since no MSI drivers for Win7 will be released (as Dragon is Win 8 only) those will not appear on product site.

MSI GT70 Dragon Edition, Plastic Scratches easily?

After several weeks of using this laptop some plastic covering around the keyboard is peeling off already so i decided to remove it. After a week i noticed that that are already some Scratches around the Keyboard if you can see yours,, it's the black boarder covering up the Whole Keyboard and also the Black plastic matterial covering the Monitor. I also see some scratches on the Touch bar, but i found out that there's a small film covering it up so no problem with that. My only concern is Does this laptop scratches easily? I'm quite disappointed with the Plastic finish, My late ASUS G74SX's finish is far more Premium than my Dragon Edition. I'm still trying to look around the corner of that Plastic around the Keyboard if there's such thing as thin plastic covering it.. So please share your experience here. if you're experiencing this too. Thanks

@mike_cruz00, MSI is trying hard to offer very good performance wise laptops at those prices and therefore it becomes cheap regarding case and other. For example for GE 2012 series there is very cheap and glossy varnished plastic that it ruins design. Scratches, fingerprints and dust was making me crazy.
Therefore I suggest you to do what I did to mine yesterday and now feel happy. You need to cover those plastic around keyboard and maybe some more up to touch panel by vinyl carbon fiber. Don't worry that your case around keyboard is angled and curved because hot air makes vinyl wear anything like it was born there.
Vinyl costs like 3-4 bucks and it will be enough to cover 5 such areas. If you need more info just ask.
Here is my photo (sorry for quality).

MSI GT70 Dragon Edition 2 Cleaning

Hey everyone new to the forum here.
I apologize if I am posting this in the wrong spot. I looked for some tips on cleaning the dragon edition 2 but could not find much on the forum. I have had the laptop about 4 months and figure the fan could use a good cleaning. However I am worried I will void the warranty if I take the backing off of the laptop in order to gain access to the fan.
Also if anyone can help me get rid of the windows 8.1 update reminders that would be much appreciated. I am running smoothly on windows 8 right now and do not care to update to 8.1 at this time but the reminders continue to pop up. I keep clicking remind me later but eventually in my experience the remind me later option is not available and forces me to choose update in 1, 2, or 4 hours. Last time I was forced to 8.1 it was such a headache I chose to do a factory reset to get me back to 8.

This might be helpful...

MSI GT70 Dragon Edition Nvidia Video card crash

So I've updated my Nvidia driver to the latest version, but whenever I open a game the graphic starts to lag and then freeze... I also hear weird motor sounds in my headphones while this lags.... I tried to downgrade the Nvidia driver to the one which my model of MSI recommends: I tried both Beta and WHQL Nvidia drivers my model of MSI recommends but that didn't help either. I also witnessed the crash of the Nvidia driver ( a notification appeared that Nvidia driver has stopped working ) which made me totally be sure that this lag and freeze problems aren't the problems of the game nor the the switching of Intel and Nvidia video cards, they switch good. This is the problem of Nvidia video driver, all the versions I tried kept crashing due to the same lags and freezes in any game I try, can anyone help me !?

Check the temps of your gpu with Afterburner (>>How to use MSI Afterburner<<). Try with and without Cooler Boost.

MSi GT70 Dragon edition 2 SSD UPGRADE

hi
I want to upgrade my ssd I only have 128g
I want to buy some 512gb msata but how many can I fit in this laptop
and I would like to use them with super raid 2
is that possible ?
and what kind of msata do you suggest ?
money not an issue

The first thing you need to figure out is if you have the SuperRaid adapter.
I'm guessing you probably do.
I would take the bottom panel off your laptop and see what it looks like. You should find an adapter in the one slot and there will most likely only be a single mSATA SSD. You can either add another 128 gb mSATA SSD and raid them, or replace both of them.

Gt70 dragon edition 2 random bsod

hello everyone ,, 4 days ago i bought a new msi gt70 dragon edition 2 with these system specs
i7-4700mq processor
nividia geforce gtx780m
750gb +128g ssd(super raid)
ram 32gb
os: windows 8
and i got random BSOD's a lot until now i got like 8 BSOD's and it just happens randomly .. i tried a lot of thing ,, changing drivers , deleting programs and even the (Killer's network drivers only [without software suite])
driver ... please tell me what to do .. this is the dump file to read the error or something like that
although i tried attaching the file on the post but i couldn't so i guess i'll have to upload it to mediafire
www(.)mediafire(.)com/download/d82175lxyof34zd/SF_04-01-2014.zip <<< please remove the () between the .
guys please tell me if it's something related to the hardware so i could replace the laptop itself within the given days because i bought it couple days ago

Okay. I see the confusion. He is using the drivers that Svet recommended. Which are slightly newer than your own, but are also without the Killer Network Manager and must be installed manually. (10.0.1.263 for the Wireless and 8.0.2.42 for the e2200)
My issues with the wireless seemed to go away with Svet's drivers - which was essentially a newer download pinned to the forums of what Warner gave to you. He could give Warner's a try but they basically are the same. I assumed my issue didn't go away as I was having another BSOD issue that didn't exactly specify which device was causing the BSOD.
As for my issue - I have uninstalled the Logitech software and haven't had a crash within the past day and a half. I noticed the longer I have the laptop on, the more likely the BSOD. So, I am leaving it on all day playing games off and on.
I did notice that SetPoint does install software that is meant for keyboards. Simply because Logitech has a unified driver suite between their mice and keyboards able to use a single wireless dongle, eliminating the need to use one for each device. This could, in theory, be causing an issue with the MSI SCM. Most people think of the SCM as a control app, but it also installs a service (called Micro Star SCM) which handles event communication between several different driver packages/software. This is why when the SCM is uninstalled, the keyboard light manager fails to start up as well as Hybrid Power and a few other MSI apps. If uninstalling the Logitech software does work, then it could be that the keyboard manager in SetPoint is intercepting events that should be going to the SCM service.
If it crashes again, I will swap out the mouse itself. I'll update my thread on this issue on the next crash or in a few days if I have no further issues. I'm crossing my fingers and thanks for the tips.

GT70 Dragon 2 GTX780M driver (311.83) posted on MSI not Installing correctly

The New video card driver posted on the website: http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT70-Dragon-Edition-2.html#download, does not seem to install correctly. on My new GT70 Dragon 2 with the GTX780m. I'm assuming this is an updated driver for the GTX, but when installed and after a boot, it is in an error state in the device manger. I have tried to install it several times, but it never gets installed correctly. I was really hoping for an more recent version of the driver, but I have to keep going back to the 311.48

This is a completely different matter, the driver I mention is different and I m not stuck on the driver. it installs but is not loading correctly in the device manager. This is an official driver from MSI, that does not install correctly, not looking to modify here. Just wondering if other users have had a problem loading this driver.
Please stop worrying about my posts and go about your business, you having nothing useful to offer on this thread.
Hi I saw this on fofum in here somewhere. Try to completely uninstall nvidia drivers and intel VGA drivers too. Then delete nvidia folden on system drive. Run ccleaner for system crap and also registry. reboot. Then install Intel driver and nvidia DRV. It worked for the guy having similar problem.
