OK so part 2 of my Gaming Laptop question continues lol.

As some of you know I ended up going for the MSI GE75 8SF, which as an RTX2070.  Mainly wen this one as it was the only model I could find in stock that had a 17inch screen that was reasonably prices. GTS models were either sold out or only $200 cheaper.

Now I made my decision on this model based on 3DMark scores it got on sites and leaks of the RTX 2070.

Time Spy Results

Mine 6,430 vs Other 8,022

22%-33% lower performance

Fire Strike Results

Mine 16,216 vs 18,136

10%-15% lower performance

Granted this one is probably OC, however i then compared it to more stock setups:

All settings in the test were identical too:

 FreeSync enabled FALSE

G-Sync enabled FALSE

V-Sync enabled FALSE

THE QUESTIONS:

- Is there some special way i need to set up the test? My score seems to be lower that mos models that are the same

- Is it normal for the GPU to get to the high 80s and high 90s for these tests?
- Will a F2P game like Apex be a good way to test the CPU/GPU to see what temp it runs at whilst gaming?
ON A SIDE NOTE:
- GTAIV i installed it and the bloody game picks the onboard card lol. FMD, thought they be smart enough to let you choose your video card in the game settings lol
