Could this be a problem of a certain batch of the Samsung NP550 that were manufactured .. a quality defect. ?

@RON: yeah we too have same 405 MHz. But after switching to high performance mode and running a game I could see in GPUz that GPU core clock is 835MHz.

@RON28..All gt 650m Lappy got 785 MHz as min Clock but We got 405MHz..as on Notebook review Diff b/w gt640 n gt650 is only clock rates....
Performance

The gaming performance of the GeForce GT 650M equipped with DDR3 graphics memory lies somewhere in the former 2011 high-end category between the GeForce GTX 460M and GTX 560M. The performance is exceptionally good in shader-heavy DirectX 11 games and benchmarks. However, the 128-Bit memory interface can be a bottleneck if DDR3 graphics memory is employed. Despite the slower core clock of only 735 MHz, the GDDR5-version of the card should be much faster. Demanding games of 2011 like Battlefield 3 will be playable in 1366x768 and medium or high settings. Less demanding games, such as Modern Warfare 3, are easily playable with maxed out settings and 1080p resolution.

@sandy2kr12--Did u checked in gpu-z report?? or in throttle stop?

Seems most of you guys are waiting for stable drivers, there you go: v301.42 Windows 7/Vista 64bit | NVIDIA Mobile OEM - 30x Series GeForce Driver release - LaptopVideo2Go Forums

As you can see, it does support gt650m, and for me (640m LE) it increased my 3dmark 11 score from 2390 to 2410. Not a considerable increase though. These drivers do support optimus and are WHQL certified unlike the ones at the nvidia site or your laptop manufacturer's website. Just download the driver, extract it, then replace the nvwi.inf file in the folder named 'Display.Driver' with the modded nvwi.inf file (separate link, right next to driver). Then, start the setup and install only the Driver, physx s/w and Nvidia Update (3d and HD audio components aren't required).

FYI: Use Driver Sweeper to completely remove the current nvidia drivers before following the aforementioned steps. Also, after installation, enable 'Prefer Maximum Performance' in nvidia control panel (prevents gpu throttling).

Although 304.79 drivers are also out, users have reported some random BSODs. So, I guess 301.42 is your best bet at the moment. Enjoy!

guy, guys calm down....no one got cheated, the core clock is 835 Mhz, and it does reach 835 while gaming, if you want to see the clock rate during gaming select "log to file" in gpu-z
@pratyush997 you'll get refund in about 10-12 days after you've applied for refund.....

and also guys I tried playing "Saints row the third" using the beta GPU driver, it wouldn't launch or it got stuck.....I then removed the beta driver and reinstalled the stable one, saints row 3 was playable with no problem....so be warned some games do not work properly in the beta driver, I would suggest you rollback the stock driver until stable ones are released...

hey man when you said you played batman ac with full setting do you mean everything maxed out? the extreme settings with max detail and direct x 11 mode etc? what conditions did you play? ac room , cooling pad , max cpu at 70% , turbo or power saver?
