Guys...
my GPU runs arnd 63-64oC while playing borderlands 2....
to me that's not too high....yet...
but afetr arnd 10-15 mins...performance drops....
is there something wrong? =(

i dunno but very significant.
it goes from silky smooth to rough rocky roads!

No issues with performance drops for my machine. In fact, it's pretty amazing. Only performance issues I have is with GW2.

Hell man, it's so bad sometimes it drops to 3 fps (this is with the game detecting the settings automatically). Haven't been playing much these days these days to monitor fps.

what about it that u need to know?

it is a normal hinge and pretty tight.

when you want to flip up the screen, you need your other hand to press the laptop though.

after i go to Performance-> Enable...
2 new options pop up...
Turbo something2 and Flex Ratio something2...

both oso i dunno do what...
so i dun dare save the settings...
hahahaha...

from the forums...
seems that is impossible.

but somehow...they say...
by changing the nVidia settings to use only Geforce...
it will force to only use GeForce.
But batt life will suffer.

I did just that and sure it did improve A LOT!!!!!!

just curious is anyone have extend the warranty for their new alienware? since the 3year prosupport is having discounted price RM499.

whr to buy?

My backpack has arrived!

but...
it's at the office...and i am not!

Guys...
Ive attached some pics of the Vindicator backpack.
It's not very big though. Just nice i'd say.
Also, with the AW14 in it, the weight is distributed quite nicely.
there are 3 main compartments and 2 small zippered pockets, 1 on each side. Maybe for coins or small accessories.
the front most pocket has a headphone hanger and some pockets.
The middle compartment has some pockets for documents.
The rear most is the laptop pocket. It's heavily padded and has a padded pocket for iPad/tablets.
Oh and it comes with a pouch for power block.

My AW17 had landed. My wife is already asleep so can't turn on all lights.

Picture of my AW Vindicator Messenger which had arrived early + AW17 box + AW Vindicator Backpack box. Low quality image due to low lights...


Picture of my backplate... sadly it wasnt customizable anymore...
