Friends! For those who are unaware, we can also pay the 1099/- amount online as well. You will get the online payment link in the confirmation / validation mail after your uploaded docs are validated. So why waste DD commission, postage charges etc. You will get payment successful mail immediately as well.

Note: Very few popular banks in Net banking option. (No SBI,ICICI,ING). But you can pay through your Maestro, Cirrus, Mastercard debitcards.

There is a way to get rid of those black borders. Also watchdog needed more than 2gb vram too I guess.

yup there is
tried and got stress in my eyes within 2-3 mins..
basically to increase the aspect ratio just zoom the portion of the screen to fit in the screen,,
i did and already told what the result was..suggest you to atleast try & play that game..
ABOUT WATCHDOGS.. THEY SAY IT NEEDS 2GB+ ,,I WAS PLAYING THE GAME @ ALMOST ULTRA (HIGH<SETTINGS<ULTRA),,WAS GETTING ~35+ FPS...DON'T KNOW IF EXTRA 2GB VRAM CAN GET THAT FPS BETTER OR NOT...SHOULD ASK WHO HAS PLAYED ON HIS 4GB VARIANT...

If you have the 2 GB version and want to see the difference between 4 GB and 2 GB then go to Options----->Display(1st option) and then change Textures to Ultra.
This setting will not reduce your FPS but instead do something much more heinous. Compare High and Ultra Textures too.

Told ya! FPS remains same in both cases. However, you must be experiencing huge lag every 30 secs or so. This happens when the vRAM is cleared to put in more textures which serves as a bottleneck.

Guys,

I need your help.

I feel that my laptop runs pretty warm under normal usage. I checked the temperature using core temp and it ranges between 45c to 61c. Also, the WSAD keys and the area just where the keyboard ends is pretty warm too. Is this normal? Should I be worried?
