bios setting. switchable graphic.

OK found the problem.
Lenovo Y users kindly take note not to use nvidia 295.93 drivers on the lenovo CD. It disables graphics switching. Use the one on Lenovo website (295.5x)

enable switching graphics in BIOS
install nvidia drivers (but NOT 295.93 on the Lenovo CD)
GO to nvidia control settings and set global setting to run high performance nvidia
go to energy managment and set to max (the rocket)
NOTE: this will suck the battery.

Njoy! Really kick ass. Can run ultra settings in Battlefield 3 with no lag and no throttle.

I want to ask is if I buy Y480 with DOS, and if u added with SSD, how would u config with it?Is it just like what u do previous which is format desktop, the step is it the same???

that im not sure..gona ask the sifus here..

OC to gtx 660 speed with MSI Afterburner. (Core 975. mem 1300) GPUz shows new speeds but on load, the max core clock speed is not responding to Afterburner - max speed still stock 885mhz. only can OC memory speed
Maybe msi only support forceware ver 296. Anyway, no 296 version from Lenovo yet. Anyone manage to OC core speed with Afterburner?
Kinda waste if not overclock core as the GT650 with DDR3 version (eg clevo) all run at stock GTX 660 speed anyway.
However, the memory speed is really overclockable...

guys I have a problem:

I installed windows 7 on my laptop and when everything is done, reverted back to HDD boot device priority. All it loads is the initial lenovo startscreen, then it went blank with a blinking underscore, and everything repeats itself ad infinitum. what could be the issue?

Things I've done:

-multiple OS reinstall = not CD install issue
-swap hard drive with friends laptop = both HDD intact
+My HDD can boot his laptop
+his HDD can boot my laptop

the the issue is:
my HDD can't boot my laptop

WHYYYYYYYY?

Anyone survey Y580/ Y480 in KLCC Pikom PC fair? Do share any good deals/ freebies.

Try use Afterburner 2.2.2 & Forceware 304.48 to challenge OC'ed Y580 below.
Use one-key recovery to create restoration disk and restore to SSD.

Did u modify/delete any default partition or doing the clean installation?

Anyone know from which shop at Lowyat Plaza can i get the Y480 ?

one-key recovery to create restoration disk? how to do it???Teach me...

doubt tat they will released FHD d...

It's like cheated.
7200rpm to 5400rpm.
Might as well get AP sets. Let's see if they will release FHD variant at the end of this month.

where can I buy Y480 for RM2499 ?

you can get it cheaper from people here. make sure only to buy from trusted sellers.
Also remember the memory is 1600mhz, not 1333mhz

According to Y480 owner bashlyner said in chinese forum HERE.
We need to email the receipt to Lenovo to register for 2 yrs warranty for Y480 official set, otherwise its only one yr warranty.
So, remember to keep ur receipt & register ur 2 yrs warranty with Lenovo for Y480/ Y580.
Quoted from bashlyner
"今天打电话去 lenovo confirm 了我的电脑是 2 年 warranty
不过要把店家的 receipt email 给他们，他们才会 activate，不然的话就是一年"

Most probably FHD Y580 will launch this month as stated in their FB, to compete with FHD N56vz@3599 launch today & G55vw.
Hopefully it price around 3599-3699 to remain competative.

is the y480 increase price a oh no~

Nope!
Y480, 4GB+freeDos@2499
Y480, 8GB+W7HP@2799
