Finally I had some time testing my 6970m in a "real world environment" for this class of laptops. I've noticed a few things. First. It is likely to shutdown the system. Which is my main issue here. Secondly the temperatures can get way high depending on the load. "way high" is of course my definition of it. It is well around the 85-90 celsius. The shutdowns I think are because of the power draw. Atleast coupled with a 920xm (not even overclocked). Undervolting helps but does not eliminate the issue. This was tested with Borderlands and Alien vs Predator (DX11) with screen resolution of 1080p and maxed settings, including shadows. I used the M17x power brick and going to try out the original M15x one later. Tests: - Stock (no vbios changes) - it will shutdown after about 10-20 min in either game. - Undervolted to 1.0v from stock (gradually) - shutdown will appear but only in 3-4 hours long gaming sessions. - Undervolted below 1.0v - the drivers will stop responding and restarting From my knowledge it only happens with graphically intense games. All 6970m versions (dell, sapphire, clevo). I read on notebookreview that benchmarking and overclocking could trigger this. Any comments on this matter?
