Now I am getting much better performance from the system. Most of the games are showing significant increase in the fps.
For eg.
CS:Source - 154 fps in benchmark. Earlier it was 38 only.
Resident Evil 5 - 55 fps. Earlier it was around 32.
Assassin's Creed - Brotherhood : 42 fps.

Aniket , can you kindly tell the settings on which you get 42 fps while playing Assassin's creed : Brotherhood. {i get around 20 fps with everything high and AA-> 2x}

All the settings were at maximum possible in the game. If you want exact settings, I'd do that for you when I get to my room in a couple of hours. But rest assured, everything was maxxed out. Even when the problem was not fixed, I was getting atleast 30+ fps.

That will be very nice of you , also do tell which power profile and coolsense setting do you use.

I really can't understand why there is a gap of 10 to 15 fps between every one else and my machine.
{
*i formatted entire hard disk and have only two partitions now (i know this must not effect performance but still.)

* I have the bios update that enables manual switch, on fixed mode i get normal WEI ratings.

*currently i am using windows ultimate 64 bit , (4 gb ram).

*also i have installed latest video drivers from 'hp', with 11.5b hotfix from ati.

*i play games on coolest in hp coolsense and balanced power profile.

Earlier it had some performance issues with most of the games due to its new muxless design of switching. But with a BIOS update, everything has been taken care of, and the laptop is now working like a charm. I am very much pleased with the performance now. I have even coaxed a friend into buy a new 6121TX for himself :D
Definitely go for it if you want a gaming machine.

@ aniket.cain
did u get better fps after installing the BIOS update or after overclocking? i'm reluctant to overclock my laptop, so if the performance increases after switching to fixed mode i'll also update my BIOS.
I'm getting low fps in Battlefield Badcompany 2 in graphics intensive scenes with everything maxed out..

@rachit which one is good to buy?
dv6-6017TX or dv6-6121TX
Click to expand...

6017 is not available anywhere. 6121 is replacement model.
Regarding the graphics issues, HP has released a BIOS update. Now you can manually switch the graphics card depending on your requirement.
OpenGL issues, no idea if it is sorted or not.

You can do it either way. In any of the cases, you won't have to update the BIOS every time you do a system recovery. It is a change made to the BIOS and not related to your Windows.

I overclocked the GPU only for testing. I run it at normal clock most of the time. On normal clock, Battlefield does have some problems in graphics intensive scenes. So, don't worry.
