Nah, I had some fps issues even on my gtx 580 (oc'd to 900mhz). After all, its a poorly optimized port...
oh god..Thankss...I thought something was wrong w/ my lappy!!
So will installing 1.7 patch solve the fps and lagging problem??

I am going to buy this laptop in about a week or so.
But before I do that,I am thinking of ordering the other stuff.

1.Mouse:Logitech G400
2.Mousepad:SS QCK+ Tyloo
3.Cooling Pad:Not sure what to buy :-?
4.Gamepad:Microsoft Wired Controller
5.A/V-Kaspersky Internet Security

Are all these devices good enough in their categories?Suggestions are welcome. :)

And I'll most probably reject the bag offered by the dealer, so please suggest a bag too in which I can fit 1,2,3 and 4(not necessarily) along with the lappy.

Just saw a 15.6" model. Thats a big one.. Dont you guys get portability problem. I wish there were a 14" model with same config.. And what happened to people who were gonna buy in delhi. Somebody said that he can manage to convince dealer with 45k for I5 model, if a bunch of people go to buy this collectively..

Great mouse and mat choice . Why would you refuse the bag , its free . I have the u3 but id suggest go for u2 as u3 can hardly be called portable . U2 is just prefect for this laptop .

My I7 hasn't throttled till yet on 90w adapter .



@ i7 owners,
Can you please confirm that your laptop does not throttle in stress tests like Prime95 and FurMark. :-?
And as some of the people were mentioning that throttling does not occur when running on battery (ac disconnected), I think its due to the fact that when running on battery, the i7-3610QM works only at its base frequency of 2.3GHz instead of turbo boosting (overclocking) up to the possible 3.3GHz, there by almost 40% of performance is lost (not that it really matters with a processor with the power of the 3610QM, but just for arguments sake)...
If in case the throttling persists, then do you guys think that Samsung might give us a more powerful PSU (say, 120 Watt as opposed to the bundled 90 Watt)...
I know that Ivy Bridge can operate up to temperatures of 105*C, but what should be the maximum operating temperature for the NVIDIA GT650M GPU?
