guys i need help, my m15x got this graphic throttle during playing dota with LAN connection, i dont know why, this is very annoying, but if i play dota with the ai there is no throttle or lag, and also i try to play the old Company of Heroes game with medium setting and it lag like &*#@ and really piss me off, shouldnt my m15x power enough to play in high setting ? i didnt expect to play in ultra setting, if i try to play with LAN connection with my friends for this game, using lowest setting still lag like &^@$, and im really2 sakit hati with that, by the way my m15x using gtx 460m n i7 740qm, i already update the latest bios, i already turn off the stealth mode, already update to the latest nvidia graphic driver, the fan already clean up last month, and the best thing is when i on the stealth mode to play that company of heroes the game are totally unplayable it can run with 3 -5 fps, SUPER LAG, i dont know what wrong, i check the temperature during running the game the temp only around 63 - 65 celcius, but when playing high graphic games such as crysis2 or bf3 no problem at all can play at high setting without lag, anyone can help with my problem?

anyone could tell me what happens?

thanx 4 replying bro, i already download latest gpu z, and play the games in windowed mode to see the temp, maximum it will go are 73c it only reach that becoz to many unit or explosion during gaming, if not much unit or less action the temperature around 65c, and i also noticed the gpu clock are at 570mhz not like notebookcheck says, supposed gtx460m clock speed are 670mhz if im not mistaken and i already turn off the stealth mode, is it something wrong with the bios or driver? if let say u said that my gc not running in full speed, how can i make the gc running at it highest performance?

nope i already turn off the stealth mode, i know what the sppedometer is, so no one have encounter this problem before?
