***The Official MSI GT72 Dominator Pro (GTX-980M) Owner?s Lounge***

The clock was oscillating between ~1070 and 1126 MHz during the whole benchmark

 

That's normal due to GPU boost.
1038 - 1127 (Boost) MHz.

I know, these are the stock boost frequencies. What I mean is that with +160 on the core freq and no overvolting, I get a stable frequency of 1286 MHz, while with a +170 MHz o/c and overvolting, my gpu runs at stock frequencies

 

I don't know if it's just me, I could be paranoid, but lately whenever I play my games, the screen flickers when quitting the game. It's almost like the graphic drivers froze and responded really quickly. No popups, temps are fine. No overclock of any kind. No flickering during normal runs. Running 344.75. I hope it's something that has been happening and and I just now noticed it and just paranoid, and not something getting ready to fail. Anyone have this issue?

Note: The biggest obvious time when this happens is when I play Farming Simulator 15. According to MSI afterburner's OSD it seems the game uses OGL. Not DX11 or such. Would this have something to do with things?

 

It could be the card clocking down from high 3d to 2d.

 

I tried svl7 VBIOS and i found that it is highly unstable under over clock and it scored much lower than prema VBIOS on 3dMark

 

Which model GT72 do you have...... it this with 880M Kepler, or 980M Maxwell? Just curious, because I am wondering if svl7 supports Maxwell architecture.

 

I have the 980m. I used svl7 980m OC edition, but its a terrible VBIOS to overclock. With Prema VBIOS I have better overclock, but my 980m run hotter

 

Yeah, I wasn't sure if svl7 supported the 980M yet, and I know Svet hasn't worked on Maxwell Vbios optimization yet. Thx!

 

First laptop ever, GT72 Dragon Pro, I've read this forum beginning to end twice. Thanks for the help. I am trying to learn everything I can and put this thing thru its paces. Absolutely in awe even 2 weeks in.
