    I saw this video on youtube the other night and I was a little bit surprised when I saw the fps on battlefield 1 multiplayer gameplay, it plays around 90 to 100 fps average at 1080p! And not even all settings are set to ultra.



    I searched for other videos to compare and I saw this gt62vr with 1070 gpu and It plays well. It looks like it's having more fps if not the same. Im not sure how huge factor the difference in map though.

    I had an issue with BF1 fps on my gt73 6 rf [gtx1080]

    Found that my cpu wasn't OC ing despite settings in Dragon center and I ran 70 - 85 fps on 150% resolution scale. After installing Intel extreme utility, my Dragon Center did take the overclock and I scored 110 -120 fps all ultra and 150 scale.

    I have the 1080p 120hz screen though. Running it on my acer xb1 monitor with 2560x1440 aka 2k l, I have a 100% resolution scale and all ultra and medium on the last 2 settings and I get 110 fps as well on avg in multiplayer.

    Not ocd the gpu yet and do temps are max 77 gpu and 80 cpu

    So are you saying, after you installed the Intel XTU utility you were able to get the Dragon Gaming Center overclock your CPU with the options within the Dragon Gaming Center? Or did you actually overclock your system with the Intel XTU utility and then enable high performance with the Dragon Gaming Center to achieve this FPS increase?

    Dragon center needs XTU to work so I'm guessing his XTU install was bugged or non-existent.

    ohh I never knew that man, does XTU cause any bad effects like it does on the Clevo laptops? on the Clevo laptops, when you instlal XTU, it messes up the fan table profiles and the fans would randomly spin up to max speed for no reason even when the system is idle and the CPU is @ 45C

    None that I'm aware of. My CPU idled in the mid 30s and the fans spin low and only ramp up when needed.

    XTU does the actual work of OCing but the dragon center app controls the functions. Think of it like a fancy XTU skin, with less features. ;)

    The bios has the OC functions available so if you really want you can simply uninstall dragon center & XTU. Then use bios for CPU and MSI afterburner for GPU.

    so shall I just install XTU and not touch it and let the Dragon Center handle the settings or did you tinker with any other settings?

    XTU is part of the MSI factory image so it should already be installed. You only need to install it if a windows update broke the install or it is bugged somehow.

    Personally I would start out using dragon center to get a feel for it and then decide for yourself if you want to tweak things beyond what it allows.

    XTU to make DC recognize clock speeds. So I ran a benchmark with XTU and then ocd with DC to 4.1

    It is indeed part of the factory image but mine didn't start when clicking, so I uninstalled it and downloaded the new version from the Intel page and installed. Reboot and I had to run the benchmark within XTU once before DC would do its job. I use DC for ocing as its simple and it allows you to connect a tablet to it via network and you use the DC app and it shows temps, fan and clock speeds while you are gaming w/o the need of another screen. Pretty handy. Also I use DC for my custom fan profiles.

    The XTU solution has been proposed by another user in the owners forum, so I don't take credit for it!

    Enjoy

    I love the screen. I use an external monitor when I'm at home but this is the best laptop display I've owned. The 120hz is outstanding and the colors are about as good as you'll get for a TN panel.

    The laptop comes with several color profiles installed and I prefer the "sRGB" profile the best.

    I haven't found any dead pixels yet and there's only a minor amount of bleeding along the bottom. It looks more like ips glow than backlight bleed.

    Is the stock 6820hk bottlenecking the gtx 1080 that it needs to be overclocked?
    In the 2nd vid, the gtx 1070 only used 6700hq and it handles quite well, everything in ultra and have more fps than the gtx 1080 with 6820hk with the same settings

    It didn't go into Intel turbo at all. It was stuck at 3.2 GHZ

    Also the guy is using 60hz on his screen refresh rate in game in his settings. He's just recording rendered frames and not display frames.

    I have had the best success with DGC and never felt the need to tinker with other settings, I may change my mind when the warmer comes and I need to try to undervolt. As it is I can get 4.2 +200/+250 with DGC.
