Performance on battery?

Im the guy who recently bought an MSI Vector 16hx rtx 5070ti with core ultra 7 255hx, its pretty smooth so far.

But the moment i tried gaming or using the laptop in general while unplugged, it suddenly turns to shit. Everything is 5x slower which is pretty much unusable. I tried turning off evrything related to battery saver but it still play like shit when unplugged.


Here's the settings I changed:
MSI Center user scenario: Performance (maxed out just to make a point)
Windows power mode:Best Performance
Winodws Energy Saver: Off

Additional info: it seems my cpu is the bottleneck, barely any usage while gaming, around 20-30% only. Its running on 1.8-2.3GHZ compared to its 3.0-4.0GHZ while idle and Plugged in. A stark contrast with my dedicated GPU with a 100% utilization.

Any tips to make it usable while on battery?

MSI Dragon Center Not Downloading

Hello,

I just reinstalled Windows 11 on my MSI laptop. The model of the laptop is the GF65 Thin UE10. After reinstalling windows, I made sure to visit my laptop page on your support website to install all the stuff needed from "Drivers & Downloads" like Intel ME FW Update Tool, BIOS version .105, and EC version .101.

Even after all this, the Dragon Center is refusing to download. When I run the installer, the install bar reaches the end, and then the wizard closes, and the app is nowhere to be found.

I tried using the MSI Cleaner removal tool app then redownloading, but that didn't work. I tried downloading the MSI Center from the Microsoft store, but that app did not have the "Monitor" tab on the top left. Also, the usage scenarios button did nothing when I pressed on it. I even tried removing the MSI Center and keeping its SDK to install Dragon Center, but nothing. I even redownloaded WINDOWS 11 anew to try everything fresh, but nothing.

I also deleted the DRAGONCENTER files created in \\Prefetch folder then rerunning the downloader, but no matter what I do, the downloader reaches the end of the bar, then closes. Nothing happens, nothing is installed.

Keep in mind, I am using the Dragon Center from the support app for MY laptop model.

I have no idea why this is happening. Please I need help.

A random question

Guys i got a i5-11260H 3050(40W) 8+8(16GB DDR4 3200MHz) so the thing is i was thinking to buy a stick of 16GB ( not right now but later cuz of inflation ) and my laptop seller told me that he can replace my 8+8 for a single 16 so my laptop will finally have 32 in total.

The main question is that is it even worth it upgrading to 32 on that much specs or is just worthless ( tell me how this affects AAA games rest i dont face any issues with day to day tasks )

Reason to ask -> Even tho my cpu and gpu pull 100+ fps normally but the 1% lows are always like 30-35% less and they drop very frequently.

2020 stealth weird battery issue

Hi, my 2020 stealth-10SE has had a really poor battery, even with all optimizations I can't get 2 hours (although I've had a separate issue with having trouble getting my d-gpu to take a break when on battery). But I realised when i had linux booted, that my capacity was a perfect 60 watt hours, instead of 99. I can't imagine it has deteriorated by 40%, especially as I have almost exclusively kept it on the 'only charge to 60%' mode.

As I am travelling currently, I changed the setting back to 100%, and actually watched it climb to '100%' at the time I had changed it, but I believe now that I was previously at just over a third charged, and now with the mode at 100% am at just under 2/3 of real capacity. I have done a battery calibration and EC reset, and still can't charge past 60 watt hours. Has anyone experienced this, and is there a recommendation to get past this issue? Thank you so much.

AMD Radeon Vega 8

1920x1080p

20GB memory

MSI Vector GP66 12UH-054NL RAM-Upgrade

Hey guys, I have an MSI Vector GP66 12UH-054NL, which currently houses 16GB of Ram. As it's a laptop and now getting a couple of years older, I feel like it's maybe time to upgrade it a little, about a year ago I added an SSD slot.

I found this 2nd hand Ram set from a trustable seller (Crucial CT32G4DFD832A 2*32GB DDR4-3200). Would anyone know if it would be compatible with my laptop to upgrade it to 64GB, that's the amount the laptop should support.

Reapplying thermal paste help

Hi, I replaced my thermal paste, and it resolved the issue where my CPU would reach 99 and 100 degrees. And it now never exceeds 90. However, now the GPU is actually the one getting hotter. Whenever I use a GPU-intensive application, the GPU immediately starts ramping up to its limit. I use a pea-sized paste on it, but there is a screw on the lower right that is not exactly tightened. Could that be the issue? GPU is not reaching crazy temps

Corrupted bios

MSI really made me spend 150$ on a technician for a laptop repair and think my laptop was toast... When a few days ago a new bios update pops in after nearly a fucking year without bios updates that fixed the machine and now works perfectly, Jesus never buying and this isn't even a cheap MSI laptop mind you it's a vector tied to and rtx 4080 mobile chip.

Anyone got a 285HX machine?

On paper its next to bugger all better than a 275HX. But I've seen a few reviews placing it much higher than the 275HX.

So I wondered if it undervolted or overclocked better, anyone with any knowledge or experience with it that they could share, I'd appreciate it :)

GPU temperature during gaming on Vector 16 hx ai a2xwhg?

Hey!

I just recently bought the laptop which I mentioned in the noscript. It is the one which has the RTX 5070TI with the Ultra 9 275HX.

I saw a bunch of benchmark videos on youtube before pulling the trigger and during their gaming the GPU reached temps mid 70s while mine always hovers aroind 82°C on average (tested Space Marine 2, AC Shadows, DL The Beast). Is there something I am missing? I know the set thermal limit for the GPU is at 87°C so I have some spare room, but still? The laptop is on balanced mode and have the discrete graphics mode on.


I also have a IETS GT500 cooler stand which was helping a ton with my MSI GP66 which I had before, but for the new vector the benefits seem only marginal. Funny enough when I let Furmark running for 20min or so the GPU is in fact around 75°C.


Could you please give me some real world data? What is your experience or is there anything I could do? Thank you!

Possible to increase stylus sensitivity?

I recently bought an MSI SummitPro 16 AI and am overall pretty happy with it. My main problem is that the digitizer/pen is not sensitive enough. At light pressures it cuts out, so I have to press harder than I would naturally to get it to work reliably. I’m using the MSI Pen 2 that came with it. The pen app is pretty useless.

Is there any way to adjust the pen sensitivity? Via system settings, a 3rd party app or otherwise?

Vector18 gaming brightness low

Hello I bought a MSI vector a18 with a 5070ti. When I launch games and throughout the game max brightness is super low. I researched online about adaptive brightness etc tried everything but still gives me a dark gaming experience. Do you know why and how to fix it? Or that is how it’s made and I should return and change laptop?
