Thanks for the informative post. I'll have a go running BF3 with Throttlestop enabled and see what kind of temperatures I get. Edit: Yeah, things got toasty quick. Most games seem to be GPU-bound on this system anyway, so it isn't too bothersome.

I've never seen temps over 82C on the CPU; with it being the 3230qm with a temp threshold of 95c before it starts throttling I know I still have some wiggle room, especially after I buy a laptop cooling pad.

Hey svl7, definately sending you some booze money soon, really appreciate your fine work. Any chance we can get a vmod on the GPUs? I'm up to 1175/1135 on mine with temps not exceeding 80c but they seem to be thirsty for more power in order to continue further. Thanks again for your work. -Allen

Did some digging and it seems the best you can step up to with your laptop at the moment is a 670m. People are hoping a new G75 is released with the 680m so that they can upgrade; seeing as the slot in the G75 is not a generic MXM slot you can't pop in just any card. You have to purchase a compatible one from Asus. Not sure about the RAM or SSDs

One more vote for the Lenovo Y series. New happy owner here.

Y500 GT750m SLI is now available on the Lenovo site. And here I sit having just opened my new Y500...oh well.

Use nVidia Inspector to tweak driver settings, like SLI Rendering mode.

Any success, OP?

Try installing a previous driver version. 310 and up causes problems, or so I hear.
