    I want to upgrade to an ES 920xm and want to know if i'll have any throttling issues to worry about with the 460m?

    Yeah I use to have that combo. Major throttling when using overclocked both. However, if I ran the 920XM at stock I could have the 460m at 800/1500 no problems.

    I have that combo too, and I see throttling in games. Unfortunately, although I use Throttlestop, I really don't know if I'm using it right, and the documentation is difficult for me to understand.
