    I myself am ready to start the tirade against Dell to get my laptop replaced with something else, maybe a nice 50inch or something..
    My problem atleast is when playing World of Warcraft even little spells will drop my 90-110 FPS to a crawl, 2 fps for 2-3 seconds. Complete stopping of frames, its rediculous and pathetic. This laptop should never chug on WoW at all.


    I've used about 40 different drivers so Im not convinced drivers are the problem. I dont think heat is a problem I get around 85c or so but these GPUs run so damn hot anyways that shouldnt matter.

    Even if I hold my laptop up to a A/C and overclock it like crazy I get more FPS but still stutter on spells.
