I was about to post a thread later on about doing some more upgrading to this laptop (changing out the CPU from the 3610qm to the 3840qm and the GPU upgrade) but until I resolve this issue I don't want to mess with it anymore. Not sure what else to do though as that is a bit annoying to not have the extra speed or have to reboot the computer every time I need it (I do a bit of editing and rendering on it on the fly). The only thing that seemed to keep BF1 completely smooth was turning off the Speedstep in the bios (effectively disabling turbo) which resulted in the FPS staying consistent 60 at the settings I have the game at. Turned setting to prefer highest performance in every setting I can find and turned off/uninstalled any "Eco Engine" add on's from MSI. Updating the bios for the laptop to just about every version released (I am currently at the highest unreleased 71X bios for the laptop) Turning off Speedstep in the bios (This does resolve the issue sortta) Running fans at 100% with a laptop cooler as well (Monitored temps, that does not seem to be an issue as even stressed out the laptop does not 80c) Throttlestop (Latest release) and played with most settings.
I did some diagnosing and watched all my sensors/core clocks from different programs and noticed that the issue seems to be the CPU cores randomly dropping down from boost of 3.1ghz~ down to 1ghz~ as this occurs and the FPS drops and then when it returns to normal everything is ok. Basically the game runs butter smooth most of the time, then I get a random frame drop that drops the FPS for a good 5-10 seconds into the 30's-40's. Now it works fine in League of Legends and some of the other titles I play (I use this mostly on the go) but I had some issues in BF1 that I have not resolved. I swapped out the SSD and HDD for a pair of SSD's in Raid 0, swapped the video card from the GTX 675m to a GTX 880m, and did a fresh cleanup/repaste of the internals. Recently it got a little sluggish so I did some upgrades to keep it relevant since for the most part its a very good laptop. So I have an MSI GT70 0ND-202US laptop that has been with me for years.
