Thank you, I will try the 240W PSU by the end of month

PS. CCC 15.4.1 Beta improved the performance of GTA V.

You should try it, when buying the game.

My 7970m stays never goes above 75°C during long gaming sessions.

I monitor it with Afterburner using my Logitech G510 LCD.

Im also using custom screws for the heatsink and IC Diamond.

I don't use overclocking on the CPU while gaming or anything else.

So that's not a problem

Im running GTA V with high/normal settings, fxaa, 1080p, advanced settings off.

GPU OC: 0.975v, 880/1465Mhz

Without CPU OC

---------------------------------------------------------------

With CPU OC: 26/26/26/26

the system turned off after few minutes.

Afterburner is always on even without oc.

Clocks stays at 3D speeds no dips or anything.

Since I flashed vbios to 0.975v the performance is better.

And in GTA V the fps is higher and constant, maybe due to the new driver.

Is removing the centre pin from a 150w psu recommended?

Hello guys,

I recently upgraded the GPU (GTX 260m) in my M15x to a "Dell 7970m".

Worked "good" but I experienced some issues:

Here are some specifications:

i7 920xm

16gb ddr3

250gb ssd

150w psu

1. My "Active Displayport to DVI Dual Link" does not work anymore.

Flashed several vbioses (Dell and Clevo) issue still persist

Put the GTX 260m back in and it worked.

2. Displayport to HDMI adapter worked but I get a little blurry picture on my 24" external display.

Tried other cables, same result - with GTX 260m no blurry picture

I had to use CCC "overscan at 0%" to get rid of the black borders at 1920x1080

Solved by changing pixelformat from 'YCbCr4:4:4' to 'PC standard RGB 4:4:4 (full RGB)'

3. My gpu utilization in games drops to 20-40% range which results in stutter and bad performance.

With and without oc the gpu and cpu.

Tried several drivers: 12.XX - 15.4.1 CCC

Will a 240w psu solve this problem?

Hello guys

will the Gtx 980m work in the Alienware M15x?
