Lol, In what way does it suck?? I only set it to samsung optimized when gaming. otherwise its always on high performance when changing video formats or just about anything else. and Like I said, playing at 70% does not reduce performance or fps at all...dude processors don't matter a lot for games, even a 2nd gen i3 can handle bf3 or gta iv easily if it has a good graphic card.....while playing gtai iv or bf3 at cpu 70%, the cpu usage in windows task manager is hardly 30-40%....



did you mean 8.17.12.9687???
yup my mistake

I3 with GDDR5 GT650M.

look at the video, this guy is playing battlefield 3 on ultra settings with I3 processor, though GPU is better than ours.

proccesor doesn't matter at all, i3 can play all latest games at ultra settings provided GPU is powerful enough. and setting I5 or I7 to 70% is more than enough for gaming.

@dan4u
regarding your point that 2nd gen i3 capable of handling any game inc. bf3 etc, you should do
more research on mobile cpus.

even i'm looking for a laptop and 550p is really enticing. need some clarifications on

"ivyb. max. temp is 105c, so temps of 90-100c are normal and safe."
is this true?

can a bios update solve the throttling without limiting either cpu or gpu?
if they could, that would be a feat that even dell failed to do with the new xps 15. apparently dell choose to limit gpu during load to prevent cpu throttling.

Yea I did my research and that's why I'm saying i3 can handle latest games , my 3 year old hp dv6 1154tx can handle gta iv, and YES BIOS update can solve throttling, read this review, it clearly states BIOS can have adverse effects on throttling, Last years Dell XPS 15 had throttling issues....read that rivew...

we have this driver in recovery media.

check device manager, the driver version is 8.17.12.9555 not 8.17.12.9687

i'm not sure if you read my post clearly. I asked if bios can solve the issue without limiting either gpu or cpu.
and regarding your statement "cpu doesnt matter in gaming" please don't tell your research source is youtube. What's your favorite rts game?

Well i3 will be faqed up on maxed out settings w/ icenhancer 2.1...Gta iv is cpu intensive game...even a guy w/ 2500k and 6950 didn't get 30fps in GTA iv!..<Link given by Ratul.>..

download from guru3D

Well It is But in day time it better than real GTA IV graphics ...cuz it got that finishing....which was missing in GTA IV default!!

See, developer who made this game knows what is perfect for the graphics. Better to play Saints row: the three for better graphics.
