How to run it correctly?

please define correctly lol. Anyway, N45sf throttling problem still not solve. so games cannot run err 'correctly'

not very sure about it because all this while i have been running on Intel HD cause of the optimus prob..
I'll update the driver and let ya know

and it also depends on what games you play... normal games are stable but intense gaming that really stress the gpu will have slight lag.

don upgrade to 280.36 yet. Yesterday i tried and nothing can runs with gt555m even though i set it ady. maybe not stable yet or what...

About the USB 3.0, its the port and controller different, the HDD inside is normal.

Internal ===Port=== External.
Those three will determine the speed, with Port that usually bottleneck. After that, depends on the HDD read/write speed to fully utilize the bandwidth.

USB 3.0 has 10x bigger bandwidth compared to USB 2.0, but can run until 10x or not depends on your devices.

e.g. If you flashdisk only max speed at 10MB/s, you plug to USB 2.0 or USB 3.0, it will only run at 10MB/s, it can't suddenly get upgrade speed when it have reached it max..

Run correctly = use gt555m when playing games.
anyway,seems better option is n43sl or k43 if n45 still has that problem.
even though there are steps to update the driver,it seems still not working.
anyway,thanks for the update.

It is running correctly, but the GT555M itself having problem..

isnt the latest nvidia driver 280.26??

yesterday i tried installing it and it works just fine, i played super street fighter and ran a benchmark showing that it uses GT555m

latest is 280.36, need mod inf file also. But it seems not so stable. So now 280.26 still best.

@lee sifu, so if let's say i change my external hdd with usb 3.0 with a good hdd lets say 7200 rpm so it still can run at usb3.0 speed right?

Can tell me , I want to known Asus N55SF I5 version:
1. It 1600x900 HD+ Sceen ?

2. How can I fresh install os+driver. Asus free complete driver + software DVD ? how about Windows 7 OS Disc ?

3. What the DVD-RW Brand used for asus N55SF I5 model ?

dunno wor, i search in nvidia website it just gave me 280.26...
haha nvm la stick to it first

well let's just hope asus can solve the throttling problem coz this model is still new. Anyway n43sl or k43 performance wise still lose n45sf as gt555m is about 40% better than gt540m. Thats quite some difference.

ic... haha better stick to official website

anybody know where to get a TPU keyboard protector for N55SF? previously bought 1 which is not custom fitted just thin layer that adheres to the keyboard, but torn in just a few days

It will run at that HDD's speed.
You won't really hit the USB 3.0 limit unless using some SSD...

ya well its true also. but the problem is nvidia til now still doesn't wan to release an official driver that supports gt555m properly>.< that sucks

Added on September 2, 2011, 3:05 pmya i know. its like my external hdd now running at around 65mb/s with usb 3.0. So if i change a hdd with equivalent speed but higher capacity it still can run at this 65mb/s speed right? unless i change to better speed hdd or ssd then only it can go higher right?

It will depends on that HDD model, some model run faster, some run slower,
Bigger capacity with more layer would only bring the speed down, access time also slower.
e.g. 2TB with 3 layer disc vs 2TB with 1 layer disc, the 1 layer disc will have faster transfer rate and access time since it has higher density..

That's why look for the benchmark for that specific model first

ic. So we need to pick our hdd carefully also. Just curious, external ssd with usb 3.0 how fast the speed can go? Really curious lol

Internal SSD go with external SSD ?
or Internal HDD go with external SSD ?

if let's say both ssd internal and external. Really curious how fast these things can go

Hard to find the result lol
