Just noticed that I only have 3 power options in the battery icon. Just High Performance, Power saver and Balanced.
I can't find the option to use High Performance Graphics Processor.

My driver is GeForce 314.07

Go lenovo energy management there change......

I find that my y580 displays slightly darker colors at the top. I noticed that as I see that my middle/btm part is brighter. When I move a pic towards the top, it darkens slightly.

Not very obvious but I blame myself for looking for flaws on a new lappy >.<

Monitor ID is LGD01E9

Is this normal and will Lenovo replace the lcd for cases like this?

Did u view on different angle? laugh.gif
Well every screen got different viewing angle

Hi guys, I read many comment regarding failure of using 2 GPUs if play game? Is it true? Then what is the point of having 2 GPUs? If cannot play game with 2 GPUs I better go for Y580 sweat.gif Not being biased or what, just to make sure im making the right choice nod.gif

SLi only support for certain games, but the famous games mostly, as NVIDIA got add the SLi profile then u can play the game in SLi mode, sometimes it depend on driver stability as well...

so basically after 3 months of NS camp ended i wanted to play some games. opened Heroes of Newerth and play for like 30 mins, laptop auto restarted from bsod saying graphic driver crashed.

reopened HoN but graphic lag like hell.. then i tried to open the Nvidia control panel and it said "You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU."

in device manager, under NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX660M, it says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)". tried to roll back drivers still no use.

still can save or the GC died? bought this laptop on January 1st.. damn

I'm using Lenovo Y580

But sometimes it will still fall to 885MHz when gaming, just a few second then it rise back to 1000MHz
