Nvidia support optimus for this model. I think you using integrated graphics when play Dota instead of GTX 660M.

Right click->Run with graphics processor->High performance graphics processor

Or you can make Dota in always run with high performance graphics processor by adding it in to Nvidia control panel

Follow below link for more details  smile.gif

For best settings, turn on Vsync and disable Ambient Occlusion and AA in NVidia CP. In DOTA, enable mat_triplebuffered (Search how to do it by Google) and you can set your Render Quality between 85 to full 100 (This you have to test it yourself). Get yourself FRAPS for easier tuning or you can enable net_graph 1 in DOTA.

Try...and report back if there's any improvement... brows.gif
Not entirely true. GTX660M is not too friendly with 1080 resolution. For 720, I would say yes. In certain games, even DOTA with high settings, will lag when many heroes cast skills or ultis in one time even with AA disable. The FPS can drop down to 20 or even below.

thanks for the feedback guys. i'll try this when i get back home later. notworthy.gif

No la bro. No trade in.
If trade in I "eat" very low price. I am quite sure no people want to trade in with my offer.  tongue.gif

usually what people do after they upgrade their gc? keep for future use or as backup? might consider buying 2nd hand unit coz mine is just gtx660m. huhu

hi guys,

i'm having a problem with my AW17. Every once in a while when i'm using it, there will be one sound like "tik". and the will be some sort of "lag" after that. it happen periodically, during normal usage and gaming. when in gaming, i cant control anything for a few second, then it goes back to normal. during normal usage, the symptom like explorer not responding. i cant click anything (mouse still can move tho). Any idea whats the problem? tq
