The system also hit BSODs multiple times while messing around in throttlestop before I reset the thing, including but not limited to: IRQL not less or equal, Unexpected Kernel Mode Trap, and, PFN List Corrupt.
I have reset using MSI's factory image already, results remain the same. Oddly enough, the moment I'd leave the game it'd boost up to 3.7GHz or so, still staying under 90 (the cpu throttles past 95 mostly) CPUID Hardware Monitor showed a peak cpu power draw of 60w, (it has reached 72w in Cinebench r20) and GPU-z showed max GPU draw of 43w, while Furmark has made it draw more power. MSI Afterburner's overlay showed that both cpu and gpu were under 80C at all times, and the i7 was running at its base frequency of 2590 mHz while in game. Frames never crossed 140, and were never stable, not even when limited to 90. (First gaming laptop, upgrading from a crappy HP i5 7200u + amd radeon 520 i had for 3.5 years)īased on 1660Ti mobile benchmarks, i expected around 150-180fps in Valorant at high settings. Shortly after letting Windows Update do its thing, before updating to windows 1909, I installed Valorant and ran it as I wanted to quickly test the device. Nvidia GTX 1660Ti Mobile (6GB GDDR6) - 5007 Furmarkġ5.6' FHD 144Hz IPS-Level (someone tell me what 'level' means here) Just this weekend, I received an MSI GF65 Thin 9SD-1028 from newegg.
