New MSI 670 PE GTX low GPU usage

Just got my MSI 670 PE from newegg yesterday. Doing some tests on 3dmark vantage in performance preset ( default that every bench uses) and my GPU usage drops to 40%, quite often, especially during intense graphic areas. It also does this in other games as well -- Crysis 2, Bf3.
I watched some youtube videos of others with this card and they did not have these issues.
Using MSI afterburner for OSD. 310.90 Drivers (tried 310.70 as well).
Could i have received a faulty card? Might I be having a CPU bottleneck? My CPU is a Athlon 2 x4 640 @ 3ghz. MSI 870-g45 motherboard, 4gb 1600 ram.
Thanks.

I bought MSI 770GTX Gaming 2GB few months ago. Now i`m playing Crysis 3 and occasionally my GPU usage drops to 45%-50%. It happends on same places, like in first scene when climbing up the stairs. I go up, GPU Usage drops to 45% for 1-2 scs and stuff like that. Now I wonder is anyone else experiencing same symptoms, and what can I do to solve this problem? I`m using latest drivers, 331.82. I registered my card, and updated BIOS from your support site. Temperatures are <70c, nowhere near power limit so that can`t be causing low gpu drops. I did fresh Windows install but it didn`t help. Didn`t try older drivers yet.

I have the same card and had a lot of similar issues to this especially in crisis 3.
I seemed to resolve the issues by removing the Nvidia audio drivers and the MSI gaming app, then I reinstalled the NVidia drivers as a clean install without the audio driver. I didn't reinstall the gaming app as when I did the issue comes back

GTx 770 twin frozr low gpu usage

Hey, i recently built a pc with msi gtx 770 twin frozr 2b and i noticed while playing games like league of legends, bioshock infinite, crysis 3, csgo,bf4, archeage and alot more my gpu usage drops even to 0 wich makes the game unplayable and also the gpu temp is like locked at 80c, wont go lower neither higher while playing games..
specs -
GPU - msi gtx 770 twin frozr 2gb oc (factory oc)
CPU - i7 4790k
RAM - 8 gb 1866mhz

Thank you very much for you'r help, i've posted on 3 forums and nobody answered me even after 2 days so finally i decided to post here .
Will my gpu get damaged or something if i'm not able to get new psu quickly? Built this pc recently so im kinda broke now. :/

MSI 770 TF 2GD5/OC cant display GPU usage

Hi everyone,
Programs like Afterburner and GPU-Z dont show the GPU usage from my 770,
it always stays at 0% wich obviously isnt right when im in-game etc..
Tried it with NVIDIA driver versions 320.49 and the new 326.19 beta,
and MSI Gaming App 1.0.0.2 and 1.0.0.3 installed, if that matters..
Could the card itself be faulty or something ?
I also have another problem, so i might aswell thow it in here if thats ok !?.. When my frames in BF3 drop just a littlebit fom 121(locked) to for example 108, it lags for a moment.
Does anybody have an idea what could cause that ? got an i5-3570K @ 4,3GHz

Aha, ok haven't seen that so far. I'm also hoping for continued Afterburner support as the App is far from being great and can crash the system or the driver when switching between the modes. As Afterbunrner is still quite popular and attracting a lot of people to decide for MSI vgas I also guess the app will just be added. For overclocking boost 2.0 cards it is at least quite useful as it limits the gpu's freedom to jump between boost clockrates a bit.

MSI GT70 2PC-1044US - HDMI / GPU / FAN issues

MSI GT70 2PC-1044US - HDMI / GPU / FAN issues
I am having trouble with my HDMI port on a brand new MSI GT70 2PC-1044US . Whenever I plug my HDMI cable from my notebook to the TV, after a few minutes (5 - 20 minutes), my fan will start reving at around 5k RPMs and sounds like a jet engine. When this happens, according to MSI Dragon Gaming Center tool/monitor, the GPU temp reading hits 255 degrees Celsius, which is clearly a glitch. I used another monitor, msi afterburner, and when this HDMI problem happens, this tool reads a normal 40 degrees Celsius.
Here are the things I have tried so far but the problem keeps reoccurring:
1. Called MSI tech support, sent me the link to the newest BIOS and updated it
2. Called MSI tech support again, claimed the HDMI is controlled by the intel graphic controller, and they recommended that i update intel drivers (every software tool on my notebook says it's the NVIDIA GPU that controls the HDMI port /shrug???), so i did this as well.
3. Called MSI teck support again, they suggested I send the notebook back to MSI so they could take a look at the hardware. I did not do this because I did not trust the tech guy and did not want to wait a few weeks to get my notebook back
4. Luckily, the store I bought my notebook at was nice enough to replace my notebook for a new one. I got home, tested it, and the same thing happened. So I think we eliminated faulty hardware.
So now what? What else can I try?

have you done EC reset? https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/how-to-reset-the-ec-embedded-controller
can you try to plug the HDMI into your dell screen[insteal of sharp TV] to check if the same issue will hapends?
Install latest Intel GPU drivers from: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect/graphics
then retest
-Yes, I did the full EC reset. Once the EC flash was done, I removed the power cord from the back and the battery and let it sit for a few minutes before restarting.
- My Dell monitor is old, and does not have an HDMI port, but I will try a different cable on a different TV.
-I already have the most recent intel graphic controller drivers, this one of the things the MSI tech support guys asked me to do by phone

MSI Gt70-0NC GPU Dead??

HI Guys,
I bought a MSI GT70-0NC last week and reinstalled Windows 7 immediately.
I got a GTX 675M 2GB Graphics Card in it and i cant start any Game with it. Neither i can install any drivers.
The first Problem is, that the Graphics Card puts out an error 43 in System-Manager.
Then there´s no Bios Information of the GPU Clock in GPU-Z.
I downloaded the latest VGA-Bios for MSI-Cards on Techpowerup.com and flashed it with nvflash:
and still got the same Problems.
I tried the Inf Modding for the Actual Graphics driver and the original Driver on the MSI-Homepage.
Still no Luck
Is there any other MSi Rom i need???
Is it even possible to get the Graphics card to work?
Pls guys, can u help me??? i´m running my Notebook with integrated Graphics at the Moment

Quote from: Aceman on 27-October-14, 17:26:40
i can get a GTX260m very cheap from a friend. Is there any possibillity to get this card working in the GT70??
The next best card for your laptop is going to be the 680m, it is quite a bit more powerful than the 675m and would actually be a pretty decent upgrade (the 675m wasn't that great to begin with). You should be able to get a 680m working from ebay, try and buy an MSI one, a Dell/Alienware one can still work but it you're more likely to run into problems, you'd also have to flash the MSI vbios.
Good luck

MSi GT70 2OD GPU

Hi guys.
I´m new here, but I have one question.
Is it possible to change GPU on MSi GT70 2OD notebook? I whould like to change from GTX780M to GTX980M.

It will most likely work fine. You can get a 980M for $720 and a 970M for $450. Either card will probably work. The 970m works fine in my system (a GT60 2OD 780m). No reason a 980m wouldn't also work fine. You will need to do a small heatsink mod with a dremel or rotary tool. Took me about 5 minutes.
Eventually you will be able to find official MSI 970m heatsinks on eBay or forums from other users. You can then purchase that and have an official MSI heatsink.
There is a thread I created over at notebook review forums under MSI section showing the mod required and how I did it. Goodluck with your upgrading.

MSI R9 270X HAWK low GPU usage and screen flickering problem

I bought an MSI R9 270X HAWK vga and I have this screen flickering issue.
My S/N: 602-V303-02SB1310009419
I also had another problem: the GPU usage averages at 50-55% on every game (DX9,10,11 games like TESV Skyrim, League of Legends, Crysis 2-3, Battlefield 2-3, Far Cry 3) and never reaches more than 80%(well, once I made it run at 99%, I used ultra settings on Battlefield 4 with Sync on, Ultra preset settings with 200% res. scale so pretty much the maxed out Settings). I'm using this card with 8GB DDR3 Corsair Vengeance RAM with a stock clocked 1090T and AMD's reply for this problem was, that this problem can be driver problem as well as VBIOS.

I created a bootable usb, placed the files in it (formated, and only these files were at the usb, dos startup directed to win98boot's folder (C:\win98boot) renamed the tv303ms.134 to tv303ms.rom,l after i placed it on the usb and in the boot menu there are four additional options related to the USB (there's no USB only option): FDD, HDD, CDROM, zip. Selecting the FDD and CDROM starts the windows normally, The HDD option ended on the white-black screen, and there's where I can write: C:\>
after this i tried to type in: atiflash.exe TV303MS.rom [enter] nothing happened, then atiflash.exe [enter] and popped up some help instructions for the use of atiflash, I pressed enter over and over and then requested another command, I tiped in the tv303ms.rom [enter] and again nothing happened (invalid command I think). What should I do now ? I did some research but still can't figure out what the problem is. :/ (If I done everything correct, maybe the problem related to my motherboard or USB stick?)

MSI r7970 lightning low gpu usage.

Hi guys. I play battlefield 4 and i have low gpu usage, around 60-70%. With low usage i have low fps. I thought it is CPU problem, but i think it shouldn't be, because it is i5 2500k clocked at 4.2Ghz. Can someone help or it is maybe driver/game bug or something.

I use latest beta. I remembered i didn't Intel inf drivers after reinstalling my windows few days ago , i might try that now.
Edit: I installed all new drivers and all i could think of, but all the same. Usage too low.

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 0NC 494 - Samsung 840 Evo Problem

I recently brought a Samsung 840 Evo 500GB to replace the WD Black HDD on my MSI GT70-0NC-494 laptop. OS is Windows 8. Im going type out pretty much how I ended up to where I am right now in hopes that maybe someone could catch where I went wrong.
So here's the story:
The cloning process went smoothly and I was able to load the OS from the SSD without any problems. Then I immediately updated the firmware and I set the optimizations using the Magician software.
I ran CrystalDiskMark and had speeds around ~300MB for both read and writes on the sequential test. Thought that my speeds were kind of slow when comparing them to the others I've seen. AHCI is on. I know my laptop has a SATA 2 and SATA 3 slot but I did plug the SSD in the SATA 3. SATA 3 connection is confirmed through Intel RST application and Samsung Magician. The speed is just not around the ballpark of what everyone is getting.
Ok, let's see the speeds with Rapid Mode so I turned on Rapid Mode and restarted. Then I get a "Start PXE over IPv6/4" message which then leads to the BIOS screen. Turn off laptop, turn it on, and get the same message. Turn off laptop again, turn it on, and the OS loads this time.
I thought that was weird but whatever I got to the OS, I thought. Open up Task Manager to see how Rapid Mode affects my RAM capacity since my regular usage already puts me ~1.5GB below max. 1.9GB shows up on RAM. Thought I'd be starting closer to 3GB. Then again, Im not entirely sure on how Rapid Mode works so whatever. Run the benchmark test through Magician software.
(This pic was from after I reinstalled Win 8 but the performance drop was similar)
Ok, , the read speeds is now garbage. Did the test on CrystalDiskMark and it shows similar results. It was late at night and Im feeling tired so I keep my laptop idle overnight to see if that would help. Nope, read speeds are still garbage. Surprisingly enough, CrystalDiskMark would show write speeds for sequential hitting ~1000MB/s so it seems that the write process is somewhat fine. The read process seems like it's broken.
So I turn off Rapid Mode and see if that fixes my read speeds. Restart. Get BSOD on startup. Turned laptop on and off multiple times to see if anything works but no avail. Thankfully I created a set of recovery disks 2 days ago so I immediately run that now. I was planning to restore the OS to factory install anyways so its fine.
OS is restored. At this point Im scared of installing the Samsung Magician software so I make a restore point. This time I want to see what happens if I install the software and run Rapid Mode through Win 8.1.
Seems like I can't just upgrade to 8.1 without installing a bunch of updates first so I do that. I got impatient so I went ahead and installed Magician and did the optimizations. CrystalDiskMark showed ~300MB/s for read and ~400MB/s for write. Ran the Magician benchmark and it produced the light blue bars on the screenshot above.
Let's try Rapid Mode now. Turn Rapid Mode on, restart, and I am again greeted with the "Start PXE over IPv6/4" message before hitting the BIOS. Now Im telling myself that I messed up again. Turned off the laptop and turned it on. OS is back. Awesome, only 1 try.
Did benchmarks on Magician which again showed that my read speeds were garbage (dark blue bars). I'm not even going to touch Rapid Mode for fear of having to reinstall the OS again. So now Im trying to upgrade to Win 8.1 and see if that fixes something.
Download 8.1, restart, I get some BSOD message with the code "0xC1900101 - 0X20017", restart through BIOS, and I get an error saying that 8.1 failed and Im being reverted to 8. Desktop loads up, I check Magician and my 840 Evo doesnt even appear on the drop down list. The software even says Rapid Mode is disabled even though I can see the Rapid Mode service through task manager.
Now Im just running tests, and restarting the laptop to install additional Windows updates. Upgrade to Windows 8.1 actually went through this time. After the update, Magician now says that Rapid Mode is on and my SSD again appears to be selectable. Read speeds seems to have gotten a *tiny bit* better but it is still extremely low.
Decided to say screw it, disabled Rapid Mode, restarted, again with the "Start PXE over IPv6/4". Turn off laptop, turn on, surprisingly no BSOD saying my system is forever broken. Now Im trying to see if I could salvage the performance back through messing with the settings so I followed most of the advice on another website.
Now it seems that the write speed is consistently good, but again the read speeds are absolutely horrid. I used AS-SSD for the benchmark instead of CrystalDiskMark this time.
And that is where I am right now. I am very sorry that the post is ridiculously long. I've been constantly looking around the internets to see if anyone has the same problem as me and I couldnt find a solution. I wanted to somewhat be detailed with my process so I can know whether this problem is the software or the MSI hardware. Or if the problem is with my specific SSD and that I'd have to RMA it.

How did you go about installing Windows?
It looks like the first time you used some software that ended up cloning it from the HDD to the SSD. That's a no-no in general, and I'd never trust it to work well.
Then the next time, you say you restored it. But you don't say if that was from the SSD/HDD or from recovery media that you had generated.
I'll be perfectly honest, I'd only trust installing from Recovery media when it comes to installing a new drive.
I'd say to do that. Install from Recovery media and see if that fixes the problem.
I will also say that a number of users have had issues with the Samsung 840 drives. Most of them were using the Samsung 840 Pro drives, not the EVO's, but just something to keep in mind. They were only able to get them to operate at SATA2 speeds.

MSI GT70 problems

I bought an MSI GT70 about a year ago. During some games like L4D2, Rust, Space Engineers, and Elder Scrolls V Skyrim it will have an FPS of 60 for the first minute to 30 seconds and then it will get lag spikes dropping me to 10-15 fps. I thought it might be my internet but after purchasing a new modem and changing to a better isp I have confirmed it's not the internet. Another thing is that it can run games that are more graphic heavy games like Overgrowth and Guild Wars 2 perfectly. So if anybody has a fix for me that would be awesome.
Computer specs:
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz 2.30 GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 12.0 GB (11.9 GB usable)
System type: 64-bit Operating System
P.S: I have also reformatted about 5 times in all.

I finally fixed my problem, after doing some tests and looking at videos I found I had to re apply the thermal gel and clean the fan. Now if I play games it gets solid frame rates of 60 and the temp peaks at 50-55. If it weren't for darkhawk telling me about the temps I could of fryed my cpu and gpu.
videos I used:

Low GPU Usage with 780 Ti (Adaptive to whats being rendered)

Received this card 2 days ago, and have been trying to fix this issue since I got it. In games, the GPU usage is never consistent, and will stay the same if I'm not moving or looking around. Turning around by say 45 degrees will cause the GPU usage to change to something different. My friend also purchased a 780 Ti a few days ago, but from Gigabyte. His GPU usage during games is always around 100%. His performance is amazing because of it, while mine can be pretty bad at times.
I've already tried a lot of different things to try and fix it, but nothing has worked so far. Here's a list of some of the things I've already tried.
1 Updated BIOS, and disabled any power saving settings.
2 Used K-Boost, and then disabled it.
3 Set NCP 3d settings to prefer maximum performance.
4 Used Nvidia's Inspector tool to manually change those options again.
5 Tried giving it a higher power percentage.
6 Switched the power cables for different ones.
7 Switched it to a different PCI slot.
8 Disabled all software for startup.
9 Gone through and made sure AMD files were completely gone.
10 Forced constant voltage using MSI Afterburner.
11 Disconnected my second monitor.

Can't seem to actually link those, so copy and paste them.

Okay. so I toke the benchmark with the following results:
I noticed (as you can see) my fps dropped sometimes when it changed scenes..
And during the benchmark, the usage was at 99% for the most...
The game I am currently playing is Arma 3... Which has the low gpu/cpu usage..
And thanks a lot for your quick answer!

MSI GT70 0NC Throttling

Hello,
I originally posted in the thread linked below but I though I'd post here as well. The original thread contains suggestions from other users as well as further information on what I've tried.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=183574.0
I have an MSI GT70 0NC.
While gaming, my FPS will drop, for example, from 60 to 30 FPS (when turning a game character around to view something else for example) or overall FPS seems low when comparing my specs to a games system requirements.
My laptop is also always plugged in, Turbo Boost is on and the fan button is on forcing the laptop fan to run at full blast while gaming.
Temperatures also seem fine.
I'm not sure if this is graphics card related or CPU related but it's pointing to GPU since one user observed that my card doesn't seem to be running up to it's specs.
I've tried the following:
-Reformatting and re-installing Windows and drivers
-Scanning for viruses
-Ensure up to date graphics drivers
-Setting Power Options to High Performance in Windows
-Setting my Nvidia graphics card as the default card used by my computer/specific games in the Nvidia Control Panel
-Set Prefer maximum performance under Power management mode in the Nvidia Control Panel
-Flashing BIOS with different versions
Any suggestions or input would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Quote from: Gel;113494
I have disabled both V-Sync in the Nvidia Control Panel and in-game and the issue persists.
Sorry for not making myself clear, I'm just saying that the 60/30 FPS is caused by the V-Sync.
According to the Afterburner log files, there is no throttling on your GT70 0NC, so I'm not sure what's the issue you have now.

overall FPS seems low when comparing my specs to a games system requirements.
If you're talking about the FPS score, I'd suggest to download the 3DMark 11 and run the P-score. The result will show you if there is a problem of the graphics or not.
It would be necessary to know the graphics driver version you're using.
:cool:Cheers!
