Hi guys

an unlocked vbios worked wonders for me back in the kepler days. I just got a new Asus Scar 2 with the RTX 2070

Is is still possible to unlock the vbios for turing GPUs?

thanks

I already tried decreasing the memory clock, even to stock setting, with the core still oc'ed, but it still lagged For SP games and bechmarks, the setting runs perfectly. Dunno why it only affects the MP

I got some really good memory chips The max i could push them was +800, but decided to leave it to +750 because it wasn't stable in 3dmark, but all other games run fine at +800mhz.

But again, the core's not stable in MP

Wengmugmug,

I too have an issue with a lag spike in BF4.. I've been messing around with Nvidia Inspector and kombuster (from MSI) and notice on the side of the gpu burn in mode that the card throttles... I've got the GT70-0NE with a 680m 4GB.. from what I have been reading over the past few months is Nvidia wrote code in the drivers to cause the throttle if the gpu got to high in load/temps...

check aroun the MSI HQ forums too, if you have a true MSI GT70 (not a barebones) Svet over there could help you i believe..

hope this helps,

David

Thanks a lot man will take a look. Mine's a GT70 0ND, not a barebone one. I really don't understand why they would make the card throttle if the load is too high as long as temperature is still fine. Mine's not even reaching 85C yet. Other cards can run at 90-95C no problem : (

yes i had the same problems with battlefield 4 and 3 on 1,16ghz with my gtx770m and all other games are stable! mhh i don't know anymore except reinstall windows on your pc....

please wait for other member's opinion before reinstall windows !!!!!!!!

Haha thanks man

I tried lowering the memory clock, but didn't help

+750 is the maximum frequency that seems to be stable in SP games. I played witcher 2, sleeping dogs, BF3 and 4 SP, and crysis 2, but all of them worked fine. no lag at all (only sp game with lag is crysis 3. dunno why )

But then I went into BF3 and 4 multiplayer. The maximum settings don't work anymore. I had to drop the core clock down to 800mhz (that's the same as the normal +135mhz cap)

The memory OC still works though. If I decrease the core clock to 800mhz and memory at +750 there's no lag at all.

It's just weird because most SP games are usually more demanding on the GPU, but the 1.01Ghz works fine. MP, on the other had, which is usually less demanding on the GPU, showed inconsistent framerates.

closed them but still lagged : (

yep. Normally I just use rivatuner that comes with MSI afterburner

Sometimes, I have GPU-Z opened as well

do you connect a second screen??? i had the same problem but when i disconnect my second screen i had success

greeze

No, I only use my second screen for watching movies

It's disconnected otherwise

Hi guys

I have an MSI GT70-0ND (i7 3630qm and 675mx). I flashed svl7's vbios(thanks a lot man )and the highest OC I get is 1012mhz on the core, and +750mhz for memory.

I ran some benchmarks and it's running quite stable. SP games are running just fine. GPU temps are around 80C and doesn't go above 82C. The CPU is a tiny bit hotter at around 80-85C. So the temps are just fine.

However, when I tried to get into multiplayer(tested with BF3, BF4, Crysis 2+3), the GPU usage just drops every 10 seconds or so to around 40%. Each lag lasts about 2-3 seconds.

I also got myself a power meter to see if my PSU is sufficient for the OC. Turns out it's only drawing about 150-160W from the wall, and rarely maxes out at 170W, which is still perfectly fine.

I also used throttlestop to see if it makes a difference, but it doesn't.

So far, the only game that has the lag in SP is crysis 3.

Really frustrated

Does anyone have the same problem?

Hello, is there a way to unlock voltage as well as oc limits on a 4gb msi 675mx? Your earlier vbios did not have voltage control.

Bump I would really appreciate it as well if you could unlock the voltage settings for the msi 675mx. Dunno if it's related to the problem I'm having, but even if it isn't, my temps are still fine, my card can probably run a bit faster with a voltage boost thanks. I doubt throttling is enabled in the bios, but if there is, it would be great if you can remove it as well

Thanks a lot Will donate when I get back to the UK

PS. Merry Christmas everyone

Edit: Donated!

Haha. Thanks, Robbo I can't think of anything that might be causing this either kinda sad, cuz my card runs just fine at 1.05 Ghz in benchmarks and singleplayer games(except crysis 3, which is the only game with stuttering in SP), but only around 830 mhz in multiplayer Anyway, I do have a second screen connected to my notebook sometimes, but not when I'm gaming.

Somehow, my GPU usage drops occasionally in multiplayer games to about 40% about every 10 seconds. This only occur in multiplayer though, as all singleplayer games have worked so far I have tested with battlefield 3+4, Bad Company 2, and Crysis 2+3, where the overclocked setting ran just fine in single player, but stutter a lot in multiplayer. Temps are still fine at only about 80C during load. Shouldn't be the voltage right? If it is, any chance that I can increase the core voltage any further?

Thanks a lot

PS. I'm using MSI GT70 0ND (the one with 675mx and 3630QM)

So I just got myself a power meter to check if my PSU is enough for the OC. Seems like the problem's not the PSU nor the temperature : ( Both CPU and GPU temps are around 80C, which to me is perfectly acceptable. Under load, the system draws about 150-160 watts from the wall. The highest is only around 170, which happens very rarely. I also noticed that when it's stuttering (GPU usage drops), the power draw is reduced to about 110-120 : ( . Maybe it's the voltage after all?

Probably some kind of GPU or CPU throttling due to temperature or power - you've probably got a 180W power brick, and an outside chance that you're bumping up to the limits of that (although I doubt it). I'd put my money on CPU throttling due to temperature. Just measure your CPU & GPU temperatures during gaming, and notice for high temperatures. If you've got a Watt Meter you can measure your overall power consumption of your laptop while gaming, if it's more than your power adapter can deliver, then you know it's throttling due to power.

(I doubt that it has anything to do with VBIOS or voltage.)

Both CPU and GPU temps are not that high GPU is about 80C under load, and the highest CPU core is around 82C. Guess I'll have to get myself a Watt meter. Thanks a lot man

PS. I'm using MSI GT70 0ND (the one with 675mx and 3630QM)

I got the first model AMD 7970m with A10-4600m. I'm a little concerned with the playable since I bought BF3 before and I could only squeeze out around 30-35 fps in 64 map.

Crackerz what's the ave. fps with ultra in 64 maps?

your CPU is the bottleneck. 7970m is capable of way more than that you'll get even lower frame rates in BF4 until the mantle updates.

make sure the power button LED is red, not white. That means it's using the nvidia GPU. Otherwise, it's using the integrated one. If that doesn't work, you might wanna consider reinstalling the driver

i guess it depends on the model that you're gonna get. i have a GT70 with 675mx and I can get an average of about 50fps on high (only textures on ultra), which is perfectly playable. still wanna push that a little further tho

i suggest you get the one with 7970M tho. If you're gonna be playing a lot of BF4 then I guess mantle can be really handy. CPU shouldn't be a problem anymore after mantle patch, and you should be able to squeeze out a little more FPS

awesome but if you plan to overclock that CPU, i suggest getting a better cooler, maybe something like a corsair h80 or nh-d14 if you prefer air cooling

you might also wanna consider a r9 290 at that price point. you'll get better much better performance (even though it's pretty much a hair dryer but still maintain that 95C )

Oh, and just OC that card, man get the most out of your money. It doesn't hurt + give you more performance for free (as long as you're not overdoing it)

Depends entirely on personal preferences man

SLI advantage:

1) better performance

2) better flexibility - adjust clock speed and memory individually etc

3) cheaper than getting a 690

690 advantage

1) better look

2) better power management

3) better acoustic and temperature

Personally, i would just go for the 670 sli anyday

I got myself a GT70 (one with 675mx and 3630QM) but the stock settings were not good enough so I tried overclocking the GPU to see if i can get better performance. Using afterburner, I get around 800mhz for the core and +650 to the memory, but I think it can go a little more temps are still fine at around 75-80C under load (CPU goes way up to around 90C ) so I wondered if there's any way to overclock the core further cuz it seems to have reached its limit for the memory.

PS. I have no experience with flashing vbios or modding. So please keep it simple guys

MSI could've done better. instead of giving us just one fan, they couldve separated the heatpipes into 2 to dissipate the heat better. I have a GT70 and my CPU (3630QM) reaches around 90C under load. Way too hot

I have a GT70 with 3630QM with 675mx and i only get around 75 degrees with my GPU under load. CPU does go way higher tho, max of around 90 degree when gaming. dunno why but MSI only gave us one fan. They could've separated the heatpipes into 2 heatsinks at the rear side to dissipate the heat
