    hello....i have a msi 16f3 with gtx 680m (barebone version) and im having some issues.
    When i play games, the fps sometimes drop down and become so laggy for like 10 seconds then it come back to normal. but then it happen again and again...this occurs in every game i tried.

    Well the sensors tab is a good place to start ;) play a game and look at the temperatures and report back.

    Run Unigine, and 3DMark 11/2013, verify your result with these software.
    I can pull some benchmark to verify with yours.

    Either your GPU is throttling due to high temps or it's time to update all them drivers. My guess is GPU throttling.
