Can you tell us , How did you do that.. And also tell which software you used to overclock.?

I used MSI afterburner software and gradually increased the core clock and memory clock till it became stable.

GPU problem is not going to affect all. And yes it can be solved via future driver upgrades. When - nobody knows. What is putting me off is I can not overclock the GPU in 6121, that is bad.

Hii all!!
Finally my parents have decided to buy a new laptop.Initially I was blindly bent of 6017/6121TX .But it was out of stock and will arrive next week. But at dell store, a dell XPS 17 3D @ 85K caught my fancy and is well within my budget( 1 LACS if features justify).
Here are some queries:-
1.Which one has a better graphics card??HD 6770 vs GT555M?
2.How is the battery life of Dell??and does it get heated easily??
Is the price justified??I mean 30k for just a powerful processor and screen??

Thanks for the reply in advance. :)​

How is the in-game performance? What fps are you getting in crysis2 after overclocking

And you wont believe it, Witcher 2 plays at 30ish fps with everything turned on except for Ubersampling(with which I get only 15 fps though :p).

These numbers are stable and the temperature hardly crosses 75 degrees.

555M = 6770M

Dell has much better screen and speakers. Backlit KB, slightly better build quality, optionally a 7200rpm drive etc.
HP has i7 2630QM and you shouldn't get anything above that.

Battery life is similar and depends on your usage. Upto 5 hrs on a new laptop with a 6cell battery.
