Ya I took the plunge and bought the game and premium for $110. I sure hope itll be worth it although it seems there still major server errors.

I can actually get the 3940XM cheaper than the 3840QM. By around $100. If the 3940 can be used id rather go with that. If im going to spend that much money for the extra power I might as well go with the 3940.

The link I posted states the max upgrade for the y500 specifically is the 3940xm. Also it would be better to compare the base of 2.4ghz vs 3.0ghz. I kind of want to try it just to say I did. Im always looking to do things to my laptop. Now I dont know what the chances are of over heating. Im sure very high.

Well just so you know, you won't even be able to overclock that XM chip anyway, which pretty much defeats the entire purpose of having it. Not because it's guaranteed to overheat (which it will), but because there is no overclocking support in the BIOS, which I believe is a mobo/chipset limitation. I don't think it's worth paying hundreds of dollars for something which is at best 15% faster (3.7 GHz vs. 3.2 GHz), if it can even hit those high Turbo Boost bins in the first place, which is questionable at best considering even the 3630QM has trouble doing so due to overheating.

The 3940xm goes up to 3.9ghz. I can get one for $485. Now im sure for that price it may not be worth it but I payed $800 for my lenovo and just purchased a 256gb msata ssd along with having a seagate 1tb hybrid sshd so that brings the total to around $1100. Most highend gaming laptops with this cpu are well over $2000.

This says that the max upgradeability is the 3940mx. How true it is I dont know.

Yes its the 3630qm. I found the 3940xm for a decent price. Im also curious about the 55w cpu.

Will I see any increase in performance for cpu intense games?

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

Ok thats understandable. What about a 3920xm?

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

I was just wondering (I searched the forums and found nothing about it) if it were possible to put a newer cpu in the motherboard? I read that it was socketed in so I am curious to whether or not you could replace it with say a 4900?

Im definitely looking forward to the initiation dlc. Havent gotten to play the game itself yet but if its only 12 hours ill be playing It through more than once. Im a die hard fan of the bat and if it plays like arkham city and has a good story ill play it till my heart stops.

Any one have comments on the campaign itself? I was thinking about getting it but I have rather crappy internet at the moment so id only be able to do single player.

So is there anything else useful I can do other than overclock my gpu and get rid of the whitelist?

Hell everyone, im joining to find out how to unlock my bios on my lenovo y500. Only thing is I have windows 8.1. Also for some reason my posts dont show up at least in the forum I posted twice in on the y500 unlcoked bios thread.

So im assuming this doesnt yet work with windows 8.1? I want to install the Killer 1202 but obviously need the unlocked bios. I currently have 8.1 running with dual GT650ms running thanks to the vbios update.
