Guys whats the optimum temperature of the GPU while running high end games? I used a software and it doesn't go higher than 80*C. Is that ok and can I continue gaming on it for 3-4 hours straight? or is it high and should I wait till it cools down?

Keep coolest mode in hp cool sense.

thanks alot, i've updated both... what i noticed is that dvd ripped movies are still not crisp however, blueray or hd movies above 1gb are fabulous... a bit disappointed but still happy...

Are you kidding me.. The quality should remain same condition, It may be the error of your player.
By the way, did you changed the BIOS GPU settings from dynamic to fixed, so that u can switch to either of two GPUs (Intel HD 3000 and AMD Radeon 6770M).

Hey guys I have a problem. Most games are running only in 4:3 resolution and I'm getting Black Bars on the sides of the game. There are no scaling options in my CCC. What should I do?

Go to desktop right click to Graphic Properties (In high performance Mode)
Click on Information o the left side then click on the Software Update.
If it is 12.3, you are using the latest one. If not click on check for updates now.

Can you tell me the name of those games?
Because some old games don't run in 16:9 formats.

Nfs carbon, gta san andreas and more...but the thing is they run "stretched" on my 16:9 monitor and that option isnt available on the latest CCC. I have an nvidia card on my desktop.

These games can be played in 16:9, Is it alright when you play it on laptop screen. How is the windows 7 experience on your external monitor?

Go to BIOS and change it, its really simple.

No dude you didnt get me. I don't have 16:9 resolutions in-game only the 4:3 ones are there.

On my desktop PC with a 16:9 monitor they run "stretched" 4:3.

I am not able to stretch the 4:3 resolutions to fit into full screen on the laptop. There are black borders to the left and right of the game.

There is no scaling option in the catalyst control centre.

Oh! I see you should Update GTA San Andreas to Patch version 1.01 to play game in 16:9 Download

It is not recognizing the exe to patch since it is the "ahem" version of SA. Isn't there just a method to scale it so that it fills the whole screen?
