    Hi guys,

    The load for The nvidia gtx 260m never exceeds 25%, temp never exceeds 48C, no matter what heavy task I throw to it.

    the driver is latest which is 280.26
    power management mode is set to Perfer maximum performance
    power plan is set to high performance

    anything else I can do??

    yes, it is the stealth mode!! after a bit of googling, I eventually solved it. it just need to press the touch button on the up-right corner to enable/disable the stealth mode.

    well, i have nothing to say indeed.
