    I am getting fairly bad stuttering and when I look on GPU-Z it says under Perf Cap tab that its because of VRel and VOp which sounds like its starving for voltage. Is anyone else have stability issues with the graphics?

    Could someone with 3D Mark and GPU-Z please run one of the benchmarks with GPU-Z open on the sensors tab and after running the benchmark see if there is any perf cap messages? Mine shows blue and yellow bars where it appears the graphics is being starved for power. I can only run the program once now and the second time my screen goes black and I have to hard reset. I think my GTX is dieing. Also getting strange annomilys, weird shape boxes etc. Not good.

    I'll try and get this posted for you this evening. I have never had any issues with my 960m I run it overclocked while gaming of +135/+500mem and no issues at all.

    Is anyone else interested in helping me out please. I am not convinced its a problem with my card but perhaps the way GPU-Z is reading the data or the way I am interpetiung it.

    DOOM is released at 9pm pst tonight so i will let ya all know if the gtx 960m can handle it or not. Another member is thinking its just letting me know the gpu voltage is maxed out and not causing any issues.

    Other than scaling issues, I had to lower my desktop reolution to 1080P and game graphics to 920P but the game plays fluid. Not as nice as my Alienware 18 with GTX 780SLI but for a cheap gaming system its very decent. I will be tweaking the game and seeing what works and what doesnt, but getting over 40FPS steady with Vsync off. Graphics look awesome to and its a must have game if you like FPS. I am very pleased wit the game and lack or cutscenes playing the game for me like COD franchise seems to have adopted. THis game will be Game of the year fo sho

    Thanks for the feedback bud, sorry been so busy enjoying it on my desktop and 980 Ti. I'm running max settings 1440p and getting 90-140ish fps. Unbelievable performance, the game looks great and is super fun. Takes me back to old school shooters like Duke Nukem on N64. Just fast paced shoot em up fun with lots of gore. I'll be testing it on my 960m later on, maybe tonight when the wifey head to bed. I overclock my 960m a fair bit so hoping to get around at least 60fps.

    Could you run the game with GPU z running on the Sensor tab and look at the Perf limit box. Mine is solid blue and Yellow, but I think its because its voltage is maxed out. I dont think its hurting or throttling the card. My problems may have been from the previous driver. I am using the latest from Nvidia right now. I made sure to complelty uninstall the old one and reboot before installing the new one. Seems to be working fine now other than the scaling issues I have,. The Uber high resolution is nice ot have, but not necessary.
