Yes msi always pass link updates update some versions

 

Intel Rapid Storage Technology updated to v15.5.0.1051

 

Intel HD Graphics 630 Driver updated to v22.20.16.4708
SteelSeries Engine updated to v3.11.2

 

FYI

Nvidia did GeForce 385.41 on 08/27/2017

 

Thanks for the reminder. I added it

 

No worries. This is an invaluable resource. Glad I could be of some assistance, I make use of it often enough

 

@Phoenix are we updating the audio drivers from gt75? or stick to what is posted in the first page?

 

it's better to stick to the one listed on the MSI model for your specific laptop as the newer driver for some reason displayed both the Nahimic Icon and another Realtek Config icon at the same time which I didn't like.

 

Killer E2500 LAN Driver updated to v9.0.0.46
Killer WLAN Driver updated to v12.0.0.428

 

Should I get the latest drivers from the msi website or getting here is an equivalent method of getting them? I'm more worried about the bios, is the latest release the latest and greatest?

 

This is a nice handy list and is equivalent/from MSI.
Only exceptions are perhaps if @Phoenix has a slow week .

By all means if NVidia tells you to update, do the update. That's about the only thing I do differently.

 

Please don't mention me for everything you have to say if there's nothing for me to reply about. I have like 30 mentions every day with stuff like this

 

New steelseries update messed up my install. Wouldn't detect the GT73 keyboard or rival 700 mouse

Has anyone found a source for the Thunderbolt NVM firmware? On my GT73VR, I'm running version 18.07 while my friends GS has version 21 and Intel's most recent appears to be 25.

 

Probably need to go through MSI to request the firmware since it may be different from model to model. Differences specific to a model may include GPIO information as well as available features.

 

Thanks for the warning. I reverted the SteelSeries Driver back to the version of MSI and put a warning disable auto updates.

 

Yeah. All other versions have worked fine so hopefully just a point update but. As the rival 700 shouldn't cause an issue either.

New ain't always better, bruh Or did you think...

 

@Shehary

BIOS E17A1IMS.31B released = https://us.msi.com/Laptop/support/GT73VR-TITAN-PRO-7th-Gen-GEFORCE<sup>®<sup>-GTX-1080

 

so about this 'new is always better' thing...Who's going to flash this first?

 

I flashed it right away... be brave...be like Phoenix

 

I'll flash it if someone can verify it has the new CPU ucode (microcode) update. I don't want to deal with boot loops and clear CMOS again just trying to set my command rate back to 2T so I can flash...and THEN set it back to 1T and more boot loops....

 

Ok I flashed it and it soft bricked --and this was after I reset everything to default too, exactly like going from .313 to .319, but this time it was worse.
Power off a few times worked on .319, but not here.
I had to clear CMOS to get the system back. No amount of power on/off cycles would get it up after flashing was completed.
After clear cmos and one manual power cycle, it boot looped 5 times and then worked normally. Looks like the kaby lake microcode was updated too. The windows ucode update is reporting that no update is needed.

For those who don't know how to clear CMOS, this is a 100% guaranteed RMA in the works...
I wasn't scared since I do have a Hardware flasher but still...

Doesn't the GT73VR have two Bios chips? A main and a backup?

 

Have you ever seen laptops with dual bios chips?

 

One of the gentech people said the GT73VR has two Bios chips.
Which is why clearing the CMOS causes 4 or 5 boot loops...

I think I even saw one of the older MSI laptops with a picture of *two* Bios chips, (or at least two PLCC8 chips right next to each other, one with a blue dot, one with a yellow (or red?) and one was the primary Bios chip).

 

GT72 uses two BIOS chips!! What with GT73/75 ? Not a feature anymore? @Donald@HIDevolution @Falkentyne @Phoenix ? Failienware should really have it also I don't remember how many AW Turdbooks who bricked last year and the year before. But a Hell lots of them

 

Dragon Center updated to v1.2.1709.1101

 

@Phoenix I believe there's a new version for Steelseries Engine v3.11.4

Spoiler: v3.11.4

EDIT: I don't think I should update... Shall I stick with SteelSeries Engine v3.10.6 ?

 

That version has worked fine for me

you can but it offers nothing new. I disable automatic update notification and stick to the version provided by MSI

 

Intel Wireless Bluetooth updated to v19.80.0

 

SteelSeries Engine updated to v3.11.2 (from MSI)

 

There's a New Audio Driver / Nahimic update - 6.01.8237/2.5.21

 

Not on the official MSI Driver site. Only official drivers will be posted.

 

Urm, I got it from the MSI driver page for my laptop? If that isn't "Official drivers" what is?

See: https://www.msi.com/Laptop/support/GE62VR-7RF-Apache-Pro.html#down-driver&Win10 64

 

Maybe because @Phoenix want use drivers/software for OP from this download site?

 

Different laptop and thus, different Audio Chipset! That driver is for YOUR laptop so don't post updates in the official driver updates thread for the GT73VR Titan Pro!!

 

I disagree somewhat. I shall wait with bated breath for YOUR laptop's Software page to be updated I accept that the chips are different, but very much doubt the driver package has too many differences for each MSI laptop. Its a bit naive to think that the drivers are going to be machine specific, think about how many times MSI/Realtek/Microsoft would-have to tweak drivers for specific laptops/ranges. I've been doing this long enough to realise that manufacturers aren't that crazy - it would be a nightmare support-wise if they did. Plus, Given MSI's fetish for changing model range numbers when someone on the dev team breaks wind...... I'm sure they don't want to have 8000 versions of a driver package to suit.

I have been using what you post on MY laptop. ALL have worked without issue. If that weren't the case, I wouldn't even be allowed to install. So I call partial BS I'm afraid. The only thing I haven't installed from your GT73VR Titan Pro is the Thunderbolt driver because (duh!) my machine doesn't have it.

 

Just to give j00 an example, if I install the latest Realtek/Nahimic Driver from the GT75VR page, I end up with 2 icons in the taskbar for audio control/effects, the Nahimic one which we all know then a new Realtek Audio Control one. Because it uses a different Audio Chipset. Install it on a GT75VR and he doesn't have that. Already asked a friend.

So a) there are incompatiblity issues ranging from such nuisance like the one I posted above to crackling in the speakers or worse audio quality

b) You gain absolutely nothing when it comes to driver updates, it won't make your computer any faster, the only thing that would is nVIDIA's graphics drivers and even that is questionable with their horrible drivers team now, it's the draw of the luck

To summarize, there is no need to waste calories on sourcing the latest drivers from different models unless you know for a fact that it will fix some problem that you have or perhaps support a newer OS. Like for example, I don't mind stealing Intel Chipset Drivers, IMEI, IRST, Card Reader (after verifying the driver INF file contains the model of my laptop's card reader) but audio drivers, I would really avoid that.

Be smart...be like Phoenix...

Fair points well made... I shall try

 

How do I fix the FPS drop problem in almost every game?
G-SYNC turned off, all drivers are up to date, Older Directx versions, latest BIOS and Firmware are installed.

 

Use Turbo Mode in DGC and set Cpu and Gpu to Max overclock Frequency

 

Try turning off Game Mode. I installed Windows 10 Redstone 3 which now has Game Mode disabled by default unless you enable it manually while in a game using the Win Key + G combo
