Not reading all that. You were the one who said it could beat 980M, not me.

Yes, with modded BIOS - - - Updated - - - The build is identical

@arulin your rant made my head hurt. How about when I get my 980M, we can compare scores?

Uh post some game benchmarks and 3DMark/Unigine. 980M and 970M would eat it alive, as would 680M/780M/870M/880M. Also I've seen 675MX OC much higher. Core is average, memory is below average.

Apparently not. The two DSR settings show up in Nvidia Control Panel but you can't actually select the downsampling resolutions in-game.

LOL what a weird fix

Battery needs to be installed during BIOS update

Which driver version are you using?

Desktop users might literally rip their hearts out and eat them out of jealousy

Use DDU to clean and then reinstall driver

I agree with Ethrem on this one. Let's see how things pan out first. With the recent influx of "security updates" to old drivers as a response to the mobile G-Sync driver that put egg on Nvidia's face, I expect them to do something along the lines of what Ethrem described.

The laptop's HM76 chipset does not support RAID. The 16GB mSATA caching SSD that comes with some models (my Y500 has one) is not set up in RAID though Intel SRT. It uses ExpressCache software from Condusiv.

Plug in charger when updating BIOS

Well they won't cut down GM204 any more than 965M already is, so it would have to be GM206 if it has fewer than 1024 shaders. I'm just surprised there is no mobile GM206 at all this gen by the looks of it.

Copied verbatim from Gamenab Big News, DSR Patch Available 26 FEBRUARY 2015GAMENAB Hi guys, I promise you a patch that will make DSR available on every NVIDIA GPU including mobile one, here we go, I wanna to make it more simple and efficient to install. Compatible with every NVIDIA Drivers starting 33x/34x and all the NVIDIA GPU series that have their support available on Geforce Drivers 33X/34X. This is not the only work I will make, Be sure that have more to come but need more time. Link to download the Patch How to Install ? Install the NVIDIA drivers you want to use.

Yeah disappointing. A 768 or 896 shader GM206 would've been much better. Or even an underclocked 965M which is a halved GM204, similar to how 760M was an underclocked 765M. There's no reason to get a 960M now over an 860M, esp. if its vBIOS is clockblocked.

Yeah I'm skeptical too but we'll see. He's run his mouth quite a bit but Gamenab hasn't actually given us anything so far.

Yep, that's the way to go. Stabilize core clock and then bump memory up until right before scores drop. Scores fall off a cliff when memory is unstable due to GDDR5 being crash resistant.

Nvidia has done so many unconventional things with the Maxwell architecture, like the partially disabled ROP/MC partition on 970, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it's true

Gamenab is a pyromaniac

Were they all Optimus? Installed GFE the other day and it worked on my Y500 with 650M SLI.

Because Nvidia hates its notebook users and loves artificially limiting us. Although if you don't have Optimus, you can enable it with this hack: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/808226/-solution-shadowplays-desktop-capture-for-notebooks-laptops/

That's what I'm doing with my P650SG as soon as I get it.
