no software can fix it unless nvidia disables that xtra 500mb of ram and stop access to it

I said improved. Nvidia can allocate that 500mb just for Windows/non-gaming stuff. Ever check your VRAM usage while idling on desktop? Mine hovering over 300MB right now.

That is also a lie from nVidia and their fanboy talking about low temp. When you game, both nvidia and amd have almost the same heat.

Not really a lie, their Maxwell card did output lesser heat compare to AMD's offering just that some OEM didn't put any effort for the cooling unit.

got link where u got it..  release paper say anything re enable mobile oc ?

add-on: oh no worried Mobile Gpu have to stick with 347.52

What's there to worry since you don't overclock your 780m? tongue.gif

Anyway, they will re-enable overclocking in later driver but the "OEMs" start disabling overclocking in vBIOS level.
QUOTE
Things are not looking good for Team Green right now. The GTX 970 VRAM scandal ended up in a class-action lawsuit against Nvidia and its partner Gigabyte as the company's GeForce forums have just been starting to calm down after a recent driver update disabled overclocking (which the company subsequently promised to re-enable next month). However, the storm is now back in full force: recently, some buyers of new gaming laptops outfitted with GTX 900M series graphics cards have complained that they weren't able to overclock their GPU(s) even using the last lock-free driver (ForceWare 344.75) - the corresponding sliders were simply greyed out in the Nvidia Inspector utility. A well-known modder Prema, who maintains a website offering modded BIOS and vBIOS files for a variety of hardware, has now confirmed this suspicion: his new Schenker laptop with a GTX 980M GPU exhibited the same symptoms.

According to him, the lock is now hidden in the vBIOS, a graphics card's low-level firmware responsible for exposing the hardware features of the GPU to the software. This firmware can only be flashed via a relatively risky process before the operating system boots, so this lock couldn't have been introduced through any downloadable update. It seems that Nvidia actually started shipping GTX 900M GPUs with the lock-enabled vBIOS to various laptop manufacturers (Dell Alienware and Clevo also seem to be affected) some time ago, possibly predating the scandalous driver update.

GTX980 is RM1800. http://www.lazada.com.my/palit-gtx980-jet-...87.html?boost=1
Just now got another one at RM1999 - 10%. (Please wait for 10% discount)

RM300 upgrade to GTX980 is worth it.

+ Free 128GB SSD, worth it over current 970 pricing.

More like readers don't read and only look at the graphs.

Guru3D didn't max the game to keep consistent result with older benchmarks/reviews.
