MSI GT70 - Mouse Lag in games

Hi All,
Working with a stock MSI GT70 (AU edition), Windows 8, etc.  And currently experiencing what I can only be mouse lag when playing games.  The games themselves run very well (thank you MSI ) but no matter what setting I have tried (graphical or mouse) the mouse is not 'snappy'.  I have tried a USB input device (rather than bluetooth) and this makes no difference.
This can occur in hardware intensive games such as Borderlands 2 / Battlefield 3.  Or simple 'top down' arcade games.
Hope someone can help!
Cheers

Offhand, what mouse?
What are your frame rates?

    can you flash to the latest BIOS .512
    http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GE70-2OE.html#download
    then to retest?
    what VGA drivers you use?
    Nvidia 331.65
    It says bios .512 is for windows 8.1 my os is w8.Is it makes any trouble?

    Greetings all,
    I am not sure if this subject was discussed before or not.
    I have a msi GT70 that has NVIDIA Geforce GTX 670m.
    I want to play games like BattelField  and Sinper Elite v2. the game is laggy and slow, had to lower graphics to be able to play it well.
    I know for sure this laptop can run those games in ultra mode with no problem. so what is the problem here? can anyone here help me? thanks in advance.
    im sure that your games are not running on ur GTX 670m, try this:
    uninstall the mobile gpu and install it again and then do the same with the gtx 670m card.
    another thing something that u can try to play almost with all ultra (unless shadow[low], effect[normal], blur off, hbao off, AA off) every thing else to the max is creating a file .txt (on the bf3 folder) and type on it
    GameTime.MaxVariableFps 30
    and save it as user.cfg and it will run great   
    make sure that the file didnt save as a text file

  • Msi gt70 2pc running games very badly.

    So, i just bought my msi gt70 yesterday and installed windows 8.1, drivers, etc. Now i installed borderlands 2 so i could play this game. It should run perfect because i heard you could even play battlefield 4 on this laptop? The problem is. On normal settings i get 15 fps MAX. The game ran perfectly on my older computer wich had a radeon hd 6800 series graphics card. I already tried adjusting it trough the nvidia control panel. I'm starting to think this was just a waste of money. Hope anyone can help, else ill have to return it to see if anything might be wrong. Thanks ahead.
    Specs:
    i7 4800mq
    geforce gtx870m/3gb gddr5

    http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/72567/can-i-force-steam-to-use-my-nvidia-gpu-instead-of-the-integrated-intel-card
    Most likely the game is using the Intel iGPU instead of the NVidia dedicated GPU, and this is why the games are running so badly. Follow the instructions linked above to setup the NVidia Optimus driver to use the NVidia card during Borderlands 2 (and any other games) so they work properly.

  • 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 laptop - can this laptop work with 3D games and movies?

    I don't see it indicated anywhere but I was wondering if this was possible..

    It should, but not on his own screen, but extent to addiction 3D capable display.
    http://www.techjailbreak.com/msi-gt70-0ne-255fr-gaming-laptop-complete-review-and-specs/
    Quote
    Finally, note that the GTX 680M is compatible with all technologies Nvidia (PhysX, Optimus, etc..) but some of them (such as 3D Vision) cannot be used on the machine, for lack of suitable 3D display. However, if you have the glasses and a 3D Vision screen, nothing prevents you from connecting the MSI GT70 via HDMI and 3D gaming (720p only).

  • MSI GT70 2PC Dominator Battleship – EpisodeⅠ

    [Introduction]
    [Roberts  are the dream of every man] one of my close fellows said. Actually, I am not a 3C fans. But it is really excited that Titan Fall is online now. So I made a tough decision that I never did it before. I purchased the [MSI GT70  2PC Dominator] with last year bounds.
    [Open box article]
    Finally, the shipment is coming today. It is true that now is one of my happiest moment in life. I put down all my work and start to share my new toy for everyone.
    Note:
    It is sad that I only have a phone next to me. Please forgive me those non-quality and non-professional pictures in article.
    That is cool that we can find a big case with MSI log and an extra backpack in package.
    There is MSI log on the top of box. Furthermore, I must said the Dragon log is so fashion and beautiful. That is a nice backpack which we can carry it outside anytime.
    There is an extra soft layer behind the backpack. It improves the comfortable and air permeability  for user.
    In my own opinion, I like this kind of design.  
    Let’s check what surprise us in box.
    We could see the label of GT70 2PC spec on the side of box.
    MSI really provide the multi-protection for their products. There are two more cases inside.
    We can find MSI gaming mouse/ SteelSeries SIBERIA V2 gaming headphone in box. Besides, there is a small and special box which has MSI Log. We will check it later.
    All right. I think we can throw away the empty box now.
    Wait a minute!!! The box is still so heavy. It must be something else that we didn’t take out.  
    Oh well, I see. There is a warranty service book and driver CD in the right side.
    Also, battery and adapter are behind the cover.  
    Let’s take a family picture.
    We have quick guide/MSI rromotional materials/manual for F3 recovery/driver CD for Win8.1/Warranty service book/ Windows 8.1 guide
    Oh my god. There is a signet in that special box. Dragoon postmark is so elegant.
    SteelSeries  SIBERIA V2 Full-Size headset.
    Furthermore, it supports 4 different languages. You can find the spec on its box.
    Wow. MSI log is on the headphone. Totally, It is customized for MSI brand!!!
    Another dragon army log on headphone.
    MSI didn’t forget the inside of headphone. A beautiful shield is on it.
    SteelSeries also promote this headphone on its website. It is so popular.
    http://steelseries.com/products/audio/steelseries-siberia-v2
    Now, let’s show SteelSeries KINZU V2 mouse.
    Mouse supports 4 different languages, too. We also can find the spec on box.
    However, there is no driver CD in box…LOL. How do I use it? We only can find the cute mouse and manual.
    Sorry, my bad. We can download the driver and firmware from SteelSeries official website.
    http://steelseries.com/products/mice/steelseries-kinzu-v2
    Of course, there is a powerful dragon on mouse pad.
    Take a mouse family picture.
    180W adapter is just like a big strong brick. It is designed by most famous industry DELTA. You can find all kinds of safety signatures on it. It is powerful and undefeatable on playing game.  But please understand that I didn’t suggest dear readers to use it as a weapon to throw/hurt people!!!
    The battery is 7800mAh. And you can see all kinds of safety signatures on it.
    Finally, our rock star is coming.
    The laptop is surrounding by a lot of soft foams.
    Huge dragon shield log on it.
    Take off the black jacket. Then, we can see a nonwoven fabric inside the plastic bag.
    Game start!!
    This universe battle cruiser will help me dominate all my enemies in game .
    We can find the security lack/power jack/ RJ45 port/D-SUB/m-DP/HDMI in back. The sales man said it can also support three external displays at same time. I must try the solution by myself when I get my new screens.
    On the left side, there are USB3.0 port/Card Reader/HiFi headphone port (According to the spec, it will increase 30% audio performance). I can’t wait to listen my favorite music with it.
    I didn’t forget my lovely BD. It also has BD reader/writer and 2 USB2.0 on the right side.
    I can’t stop myself to take another wonderful photo with the MSI logo and upper case.
    I have a feeling that my dominator is ready fight.  
    There is a [SteelSeries] LOGO on the  left side. What a surprise it is. YA! We have SteelSeries keyboard on GT70. Absolutely, this is a gamer dream. Best Keyboard vendor SteelSeries and Top Gaming NB brand MSI are working together! It is totally worth for me.
    DYNAUDIO, the leader of audio industry. As you know, BUGATTI’s sport cars use the DYNAUDIO. And  MSI is the first notebook in world with this sound of Danish pride.
    HA!HA!
    I’m listening the best sound as rich people sitting in their sport cars. It feels great.
    http://www.dynaudio.com/int/multimedia_sound/index.php
    There are many thoughtful buttons on middle cover.  (Power/Airplane mode/display on&off/Gaming button/Caps Luck/Num lock).
    More convenience buttons, media/turbo fan/backlight LED.
    We also have Bluetooth/WLAN/battery/sleep/disk indicators in front of laptop.
    Here is GT70 spec and signatures form Sound Blaster CINEMA / nVIDIA /Intel.
    An independent On/Off switch for touch pad.
    Built-in Camera and Mic on the display.
    You can see the thermal design and the battery when we check the back side.
    The silver part is our bass. Just like the cannon on our battleship.
    What is under the battery?
    The left side is the safety signatures for GT70 and its WLAN.
    The right side is Win8 LOGO and serial number.
    Now we know my baby is born on February.
    [Power on]
    Gee!the Log is shining when the system is. power on .
    The keyboard is just like the most beautiful rainbow that I’ve never seen. It is stunning. Honestly, my cheerful tear is dropping.
    Anyway, Titanfall, I’m coming.
    What? Something pops up when I attach the network.
    What is [Killer Network Manager]?
    Wow. Now I know that Killer high-performance networking products combine intelligence, control and superior networking speed for HD video, high quality audio, and online games. That’s great. I hate the evil [LAG] in game.
    https://www.qca.qualcomm.com/products/killer-technology/
    After the quick test, it is time to install my game.
    I find a secret app in the tray of task bar during the game installation.
    YA! That is SSE (Steelseries Engine). I can set my own hotkey, backlight LED and combo key with this good friend.
    SSE is a smart app. It recognized my GT70 and my mouse immediately when I launch the app.
    Sorry again. I was wrong because I don’t need a mouse driver. The SSE can control all of the actions. It is so sweet.
    It is the time to say goodbye. Titanfall is calling. See you on battlefield!!!

  • MSi GT70 - 0NE-276us Sudden Power Off/Will not Stay On

    First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to read about my problem. No sob story, however this is my only computer and it was/is my work machine in the IT Administrative/Deskside Workplace. Any ideas are welcome.
    I have an MSi GT70-0NE 276us Laptop. I bought it last year (Christmas). I was playing a game on Steam when suddenly the machine turned off. Using my troubleshooting experience, here is what I tried:
    -Removing the battery and power supply from the machine and holding power button for 1 minute
      -After testing with ONLY the battery inside the machine, pressing the power button makes a white flash and a shimmer of light sent to the keyboard, but doesnt actually turn on. It does this upon each keypress and does not skip a beat.
    - I tried to connect the power supply directly into the laptop WITHOUT the battery connected, and it does the same thing. As for the battery indicator light, it does not stay on as it normally would when the power is connected to it.
      NOTE: I have NEVER used my laptop WITHOUT the power cord connected; it is always attached since I know its a power hog.
    - I have checked for any smells of burning/melting and there are none. The laptop was also not that hot when it cut off suddenly.
    - Ive blown the mainboard/underside with compressed air and removed all of the dust
    - Ive made sure the fan was clear and connected
    - Ive reseated the RAM
    - I have NOT tried another power brick; the one I received was refurbished.
    - The LED on the power brick lights up but nothing is coming into the machine
    - I have not had the laptop 10 months and its always connected to the wall/power outlet
    So if it is the motherboard, I wouldnt be too surprised but Ive know MSi to make excellent motherboards, hence the reason I spent 2500.00 on it. A fellow IT friend said I may want to try a new power supply that has the exact specs your laptop needs. As if its possible the load on the end of the power brick that goes into my laptop may be done for.
    I removed the Battery and noticed this:
    The inside of the laptop after removing the battery say
    MS 1762
    DC Rating 19V=9.5A
    My Battery says (MSi battery)
    11.1 Vdc = 7800mAh, 87 Wh
    ..But the power brick reads
    Input 100-240 V ~2A 50-60Hz
    Output 19.5 Volts =7.7 A
    He suggested trying a new power suppy but Im concerned its the motherboard (because us IT Guys know the motherboard will get you everytime)
    So is it possible? Im not sure why they may have given me the wrong power brick, if it is wrong. He says the specs dont add up, and since each time I press the button and the white light flickers and part of the keyboard, he said it may be the power bricks' node that connects to my machine. Im used to motherboards that are done for the machine shows no sighns, no hints, no flickers. This is atleast flickering, just not coming on .
    I know its alot to read and I appreciate all of the techs/other users time.

    Thanks guys. Your input is not falling on deaf ears and it seems im getting reputable support via the forums with the MSi tech team.
    It really is so weird. Today I tried the process of elimination from a video I saw on you tube. Now, keep in mind, each time the power button is pressed with either their power brick/battery alone in the machine, the power light and the 'battery' indicator light at the front of the machine flicker (each keypress; even if you do it rapidly).
    I took the bottom tray off and checked the fan and blew it out with compressed air. Checked the thermal paste under the processor heatsink, checked the processor condition and all looks well there.
    Tested by removing one connection at a time then testing for power (all along while testing, keep in mind I only have the 19.5v 7.7 amp power brick.)
    - removed D:/ drive secondary  then checked for continuity; no luck
    - removed all 4 ram sticks and tested one at a time with the power supply connected; no continuity
    - removed the keyboard ribbon cable and tested; still no luck
    - removed (what I believe to be) the usb ribbon cable (hub with 3.0 ports) and tested for any indicator lights; still no luck
    - unplugged the cmos for 5 mins and reconnected; still no luck
    *NOTE: when I look underneath of the laptop when pressing the power button, the fan that has the gpu and the cpu heatsinks up against, it actually spins for a brief second; about as long as the power button flashes.
    I stopped at some stores looking for a 180+ watt adapter and i couldnt find one that carried it. I wanted to test it before purchasing, so Ive avoided online purchase up to this point. However, I do realize I need one anyway at this point regardless.
    My buddy has his own PC Repair shop. He doesnt have a power brick of that magnitude, but cant we get a voltmeter and check for continuity from not only the power supply, but also the jack soldered on the motherboard?
    He is saying kinda what Dark is saying... Me, I think its a short somewhere... he thinks the computer asked for too much power from the power supply and probably burnt out the tip because at the time it cut off, I was playing a graphic intensive game, and in my USB 3.0 ports on a single hub, I had the following connected:
    - A Logitech USB headset (wired)
    - an XBOX 360 wired controller
    - A Logitech G700 gaming mouse charging
    Ive never had that many power hungry devices connected to one hub at one time before.

  • 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.

    I was told.....
    "If you're getting an unlocked raid bios then I suggest that you have him update the Intel Raid Utility OROM also to 1.6.0.1702 or newer"

    Quote
    I have two 128GB SSD in raid 0 (SuperRaid as MSI calls it) I would like to be able to overclock the CPU if possible? I'm getting some lag spikes in games and I was thinking it might have something to do with the CPU...
    OC CPU maybe if you are familiar with the options, but let assume no or not recommended.
    about the lag spikes, there is special EC ver for GT70 which improves GPU performance and reduces throttling.
    available at: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162629.0
    NOTE: This special EC firmware is not for barebones, but only for retails models!
    other reason could be that dedicated GPU is not used, but integrated card while running this applications.
    Or VGA driver issue.

  • [SOLVED] MSI GT70 keyboard buttons not working

    Hi! I am a normal user of computers that like games, so I bought this awesome notebook MSI GT70 i7 16gb ram GTX 675MX 128ssd+750hdd, with a keyboard by steelseries.
    Everything was ok, using the notebook as came when I bought, with OS windows 8, with no format nor modifications by me, using it since January 2013.
    The problem is that about 1 or 2 weeks some shortcuts of keyboard arent working anymore:
    - Wifi button isn't working and isn't becoming orange when pressed, and Fn+F8 isn't working either;
    - Screen shutdown button is becoming orange when pressed but not working;
    - Cd-dvd eject button is becoming orange when pressed but not working;
    - I tried also Fn+F9 and Fn+F12 shortcuts, and I think they arent working either.
    At the same time, the Cooler button and the Backlight's Keyboard button are working correctly. Turbo button maybe is working too but I don't know if something become overclock when I activate it.
    I would really appreciate some help, since I love my notebook very much, and I hope it's not a hard problem to solve.
    Thanks!

    Try resetting EC: >>How to reset the EC (Embedded Controller)<<
    If that doesN't help uinstall SCM and after reboot install latest version: http://www.msi.com/service/download/utility-19670.html
    Also try updating .Net Framework 4.5: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36377
    Hi,
    I followed your advice:
    1. uninstalled SCM, restarted
    2. installed SCM, restarted
    3. tried to update .net framework, had it already
    4. resat the EC
    But unfortunately it did not change my GE60 2OC's behaviour: when i press the back-light button it opens my browser with dragoonarmy/msi.com>/ BUT NO LIGHT.
    Do anybody have a suggestion to solve this??

  • Adding mSATA/mSSd to a MSI GT70 2OD-407US

    Hi,
    I'm a new owner of an MSI GT70 (wife finally let me buy one). I'm not at all new to modding computers of varies calipers. I honestly haven't been in the game in 3 years and coming back up the ladder because the technology has changed. I've kinda been in a geeks purgatory(married and in the ARMY), so life's been really busy for me and has not allowed me to keep up with current tech.
    My Question. Modding my GT70 2OD-497US:
    MAXing RAM to 16GBs, Easy. that's a no brainer.
    where I need help is adding mSata/mSSD to my MSI to use it as a boot drive for the Window 7 Home Premium it comes with.. Thinking about add 128/256GB as boot and recovery as well as other important files and using the 1 TB 7200RPM HDD as pure storage to run programs, videos, movies, and music off of. (I'm not a big gamer)
    I have not received my MSI yet and won't touch it for another month or so. I have plenty of time to figure it out. This question been raking my brain for a week, so that's why I'm post for some help. 
    Any information no matter if you're "talking above my head or not" is highly appreciative. If I think I don't know what you're talking about I will ask questions and do tons of research.. I used to be at the top of the GEEK food chain, but starting at the bottom now. I don't mind admitting that. The Army and marriage takes a lot of my time.
    Add-on to message: I do not know if the GT70 2OD-407US comes with the msata slot board, it should, but can't seem to verify. If not I can buy one.

    So lets back this up with a number of facts.
    I can't find any information about the GT70 2OD-497US so....
    Does the notebook come with an SSD?
    If it does, then you will have the "Super Raid" adapter that lets you put mSATA drives into the laptop.
    If it does NOT, then you will NOT have the "Super Raid" adapter, and you will not be able to put mSATA drives into the laptop.....without attaining a Super Raid adapter. This is difficult. MSI will NOT sell them. If you are LUCKY, you might be able to talk to a distributor or company that offers customized MSI notebooks into selling you just the adapter, but I'm not sure they will. If they will not, you're pretty much SoL. Supposedly there was a chinese company selling the adapters, but I don't recall the name or if they still are.
    In all honesty, if you don't have the adapter, I would just order a regular 2.5" SSD drive instead and live with it.
    A couple of other things I can suggest.
    Get at a minimum a 240/256GB SSD. You'll find that after installing Windows and such you only have roughly 75 gigs maybe left on your 128GB SSD. And I just don't think that's enough. The 240/256GB drives are cheap enough now that you shouldn't have any problems getting it.
    When you partition your SSD, only partition it for about 85% of the total space (so 85% of 256GB = 215 GB). Leave the rest of it unpartitioned. This is called over-provisioning, and will help to maintain the overall speed of the SSD (read/write speed) during the entire life of the SSD. The reason it does this is because it provides more space for TRIM to work, even if you completely fill the partition you created. If you had fully partitioned the drive, and almost filled it, the speed would start to deteriorate because there isn't enough 'space' to do TRIM anymore and it has to work harder to do it, causing your overall read/write speed to decrease. This is especially bad on Samsung drives.  (for more information, go search around on www.anandtech.com, plenty of good information and benchmarks to backup my statements)
    Other than those tips, you should be good to go.....BUT!
    The VERY FIRST THING YOU DO AFTER LOGGING INTO YOUR NEW NOTEBOOK? Please please please create the backup DVD's! MSI does not provide backup media inside the box. You need to make these on your own using the included MSI Burn Recovery software.

  • Flash Player performance slowness and mouse lag

    I've been having this problem for a while.  I already did the usual google searching and didn't find anything useful.  Specifically its games I play on kongregate and other sites.  When they are using flash player I tend to get poor performance.  If it uses a mouse cursor the mouse lags/skips across the flash player window, when it leaves the flash player area the lag doesn't occur. I dont have problems when I'm in games or general responsiveness of the system, I've plenty of space, low processor utilization, low memory utilization, etc etc.
    I have windows 8.1, IE11, the latest flash player, video and system drivers are all the latest and greatest.  I've found articles suggesting to turn on/off hardware/software gpu acceleration in IE, it also occurs in Firefox.
    ideas?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try this. Which browser (and version) are you using? My question was as much about the performance of Flash player in a 64 bit environment as it was about the video playback hardware performance. I'm sceptical of the shared video memory and throughput performance of the Intel-based 4500HD graphics package in my laptop. I'm worried that it might not be sufficient for full-screen flash video playback, or for large external displays, so I'm trying to explain the poor platback performance that I'm seeing, and hopefully show that it's not the fault of the video HW.
    Which video HW do you have in your dell?
    Thanks

  • MSI GT70 0ND : Display driver stopped responding and has recovered

    Hi,
    I just bought a MSI GT70 0ND 1212xfr :
    CPU : i7-3630QM
    GPU : Nvidia GTX 675MX
    RAM : 8 Go
    HDD : 750 Go  7200 trs/min
    OS : Windows 8.1 (installed by myself)
    I tried several drivers but i always get this error message when the laptop has to switch on the GTX 675MX instead of the Intel HD4000 :
    Quote
    Display driver stopped responding and has recovered.
    But finally the GTX 675MX is not enabled so i can't use my graphic card.

    Already done and it didn't change anything but i found a temporary solution : i set the nvidia parameters to start my game with the GTX, the message still appears but next the game is running with the GTX. I didn't try with another game. I hope it will works too.
