How to configure the SLI?
When i chose maximize the 3d performance, game crash.

Wat game u play?... By right it sdh be perfect right if u set to max 3d performance...

nfs most wanted, or does this game doesnt need SLI?
it crash when i play

NFS doesn't support SLI.
Just play it with a single GPU.

ok i called to malayia service center, give them my serial no and product id, they told me that my warranty valid in malaysia, can send in for repair, anyhow i will do double confirm by sending email to them.

Check here to see what game support SLI:

Perhaps overheats?

just asking, for the y500 RM3799 is come with 2 gpu already?

y400 rm2799 only 1 gpu?

actually gt 650m and gt660m different much?

difference between gt650m and 660m are not really noticable

About 960€ from Czech Republic (Europe).

I'll try to disable v-sync. Max temp on CPU (CPU ID) after one hour of play BF3 is 72°C and GPU (MSI Afterburner) max 63. I think that is OK?

Version with i7 " pre order - I remembered " for cca 1120€ (i7, 12gb ssd).

I think you need better cooling system on your machine, 72°C is quite high but still acceptable since Full HD and High Settings on that game.

The SSD is 120GB right?

sry 16gb i use cooling pad. i play on full HD and low graphics settings.

Try play it with single GPU and see if same problems will occur or not

Nice specs and nice price,planning to get this laptop
