I've heard that the 675m is similar performance wise to the AMD 6990m. Don't have any benchmarks to back that fact up though.

I got 4202 on 3DMark11 at stock speeds, if that helps. It's surprising how capable it is.

Here is a basic run I ran when I received my machine.
Generic VGA video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4700MQ,Alienware Alienware 14
I haven't messed with it as of late. I will be traveling this week and may do a few runs while it sites on the hotel AC unit.
I am also able to OC the processor with XTU to:
36,35,34,34 with no issues.
I also can OC my GPU using Nvidia Inspector. I was able to max out the core and get some good OC on the memory. I know the vbios isn't unlocked, but when I adjust the settings nvdidia inspector reports the change and the score I received using furmark kept going up. So something is happening.
I will apply these settings once I get on the road.
The only issue I did notice is after a run or so my video on my screen would get distorted dramatically and I would have to reboot in order to fix it. -

I didn't pay to close attention to the throttling when I was running 3dmark. I read somewhere in this section if you use NVidia inspector it will eliminate the throttling.
What NVidia inspector is doing, is it adjust the default temperature throttle target, I'm surprised you were still seeing throttling. Did you OC when you used NVidia inspector? Or just apply the default? I will have to do more investigation on this later this week.
Hopefully there will be a vbios fix down the road. -
In nvidiaInspector you need to raise the temp limit from 66C in order to prevent throttling. Yesterday I ran 10 minutes of Furmark and couldn't get the GPU to exceed 64C. Hours of Borderlands 2 and I haven't seen anything that felt like throttling either. I haven't had the time to do any extensive testing or looking under the hood yet, so take my observations with a grain of salt.

Thanks for the feedback. At the moment I'm quite upset with Dell... For no apparent reason my order has been canceled.
I have already placed another order, selected a different payment method (I will send the money on dell account as soon as I receive their confirmation mail) I hope everything will work ok this time. I don't have a lot of time, before the end of the month I'll have to leave for 2 months (work) and I really wish to have the 14 with me. Do you think some of the Dell Rep's here may help me to speed up things? -

View image: GTX765 M BEST STABLE OVERCLOCK
gtx765m best stable overclock all in one screenshot.
extra answers which are not available in screenshot;
i opened the case and put another 12 volt core 2 quad extreme fan on top of the fan. it is on the hdmi side of the notebook on the back corner, focus your fan on this place, or leafs of fan.
you can never achive 9500 phsics unless you do this.
if you limit your cpu to 3ghz case closed, 3.1 case open you can hit 8400
no easyly available laptop cooler can cool alienware ! just open the case and put it on a higher level than table op put it like a open book to the side with open case.
you can't stop throttling on overclock unless you lower the degree of the chip.
core 2 quad extreme had a bios setting which you disable (actually disable them all) and you can get rid of throttle nightmare
stop using other overclock softwares and flash v bios adding
nvflash -4 -5 -6 biosname
with -4 -5 -6 it force overwrites old bios. in my case it said it is different id so it can't
what i share is a 1 week work please tumbs up!
