gnikolaides Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hi guys I am new to the forum. I would like to know by updating my bios and firmware to the very latest will I get performance in games in terms of fps. Can somebody prove this with numbers? If not then why would someone want to update his BIOS and / or FIRMWARE? Unless there are hardware issues that need to be solved that my reseller did not consider updating me.

Guest Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 You won't see much of performance difference with latest Stock BIOS it's more for bug fixes...If you want more performance grab the Mod version instead:NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4702MQ,Notebook W230ST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnikolaides Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Dear Prema, after doing some homework with your 3D mark results I have concluded that your mod is super cool. You actually get more than 1000 3d marks which brings your system up to a new level. It's like you have upgraded your graphics card to gtx 770m which is 25 - 35 % in terms of fps if I am not mistaken. I have 2 more questions for you and I would appreciate if you could answer me.1. Since I am rookie and I believe a lot of people out there are like me, could you please give us exact steps on how to upgrade both EC FIRMWARE and BIOS so that we don't mess up with our systems. I would mostly appreciate your help.2. What happens with warranty? Can I go back to the stock BIOS in case of RMA?If everything goes well I would be happy to make a donation.Thank you. You are unbelievable. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injection18 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hello Prema.I ordered this computer too and I read the fan is quite noisy. Does your modded bios improvethis and make it quiter ?Other question: is it really better to use Windows 8 instead of 7 to get better power management features or things like optimus ?Thank you.

Well. i'm not Prema, but I'm sure I could give you the answers you need. You can "undervolt" your processor - It wouldn't create so much heat, and therefor it wouldn't be so loud. As always - depending on yout geological environment. If you're a sahara-habitant, you'll get some problems As for Windows 7 / 8 - My experience tells me that Winows 8 (8.1) has a better management, and has a little bit more performance (concerning loading times and little things). It does sae some battery. It's marginally as It'd be about 10 Minutes more (also depending on what you'Re doing), but overall, I'd suggest you to give it a try.

injection18 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 It won't bite me but I would have to buy it and I used all my money to get the computer I can have Win 7 pro for free from my job so I guess I'll stick with and see if it works good.

TheRoss Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 In that case, I'd suggest you stick to windows 7.You could get a 180-day trial version of windows 8.1 - Get yourself Oracle Virtual Box, and install the 180-day windows Trial on a virtual machine - there you can test the OS and see if it fits for you.
