    Dear all: HNY!!!

    I own MSI GT80S 6QF(Titan SLI)-236UK from July 2016. Most of the times I use simulation software like CST Simulation studio.

    I have the following problems.

    1. Simulations run very very slower than a low-end performance laptop that is used for CAD.
    2. Drop down menus completely disappear and only clickable by guess :)
    3. Results are not to be found at all if saved. Either they are not saved or if saved in memory they are not recalled. I mean I can’t bring up the simulated results at all just only the model.

    It is so embarrassing and frustrating.

    My Specifications are below:

    Processor Type: Intel Core i7 6920HQ
    Processor Clock Speed: 2.9GHz (3.80GHz Turbo Mode)
    Hard Drive: 1000GB
    Solid State Drive: 512Gb PCI-e NVMe SSD
    Memory (RAM): 64GB
    Operating System: Windows 10

    Please help!

    Make sure CAD is running on the graphics cards (which you did not list) and not the iGPU in the i7 6920HQ. Though that exact model shouldn't have that issue.

    I would make sure sli is on (or maybe off sometimes it causes problems) and check that you aren't on power saver.
