^^you know they are the FPS on the laptops they test not specific to the GPU so the FPS varies not only on the GPU but the CPU/Chipset/RAM Timings etc.
The Lenovo Z500 with GT 740m thread
Hey Guys,
I see that my laptop has 6 partitions,2 Recovery,1 EFI,1 OEM partition,1 Primary (LENOVO D Partition) & the actual C partition.
Although,i am not much aware about some of the partitions,can any one explain what exactly is that 1000MB OEM partition? I see that my C drive is 890G,which is ridiculous.Since i expect that i wouldn't really be needing more than 200Gigs for the C Drive,can i shrink it and create new partitions off it?
How do you guys go about this ?

the main issue with the 208 one wasn't seen with regular/medium settings.
When played on high etc, that's when the 107 performed better. Then again, most of notebook check's FPS depends on the laptops they're testing.
100MB partition contains boot sector info, do not touch it.
And yeah, you can shrink and create new partitions from that 890GB. But keep in mind that you will have to create an extended partition, not a primary partition (they can be >4); then after you can create as many as 64 logical partitions inside it. 100GB is enough for C, aside heavy games installations.

Just a heads up guys, about the drivers issue.....DONT update the Integrated (Intel HD4000) drivers from the Intel's site (i.e. don't use generic drivers) Lenovo uses some kind of modded Display driver which allows them to control the brightness.... If you install the generic drivers, you'll lose the brightness control (mine was at perma 100%), but there is a marginal performance increase 
BTW, the Nvidia drivers from the NVIDIA official site is working fine, and is giving me better framerates, so I guess it works, better than the pre-installed one

they have reviewed a system with 208 version and according to it, 208 version even outperforms gt 650m on some games @ low settings but at ultra settings it's roughly 26% slow and at high settings it's 10% slower than 650m
Is optimus working fine after installation?? i heard it caused problems with Optimus somewhere.

Going off-topic : Samsung's is a killer rig at this price (GT 650, really??!! ), except it really heats up like an oven(talking from 1st hand experience) and that the brand is Sammy (no, I have nothing against Samsung laptops but, in general I've had the worst ASS from Samsung, so I tend to stay away from them) .......
Only cons I found is that its still providing Windows 7

it's not called playing a clever game, it's called lowering your price coz the product is becoming old and comparable products are available at a much lower price i.e. 53k was not justifiable at that price range, 47k is

dude, kepler architecture is over an year old . and Yeah i am not saying it's ancient it's just that companies decrease their price only if
a)comparable product is available at a lower price
b)things get old and they get cheaper as better ones replace them.
just deal with it that different companies charges differently just like dell charges 42k , where as hp charges 40k lenovo charges 38k and samsung provides roughly same performance at 35k and still dell sells the most.
yup....

Wait.... I also installed the nVidia drivers, but everything's running well, shutdown time is normal too...
Are you sure no other software/app is causing this?
Just received the redemption voucher but my ADP confirmation has not come yet....
BTW Metro Last Light is running smooth in the highest settings (Advanced Physx enabled) and so is Dead Island Riptide....I don't have the exact fps yet.
