    Just got my blade and its beautiful. I immediately installed D3 which is my most often played game atm.
    I run both my desktop and blade on same resolution (1920x1080) High texture, Med Shadow, High Physics, AA on

    D3 shouldn't be a graphic intensive game.I tested my PC by pulling 3 mob packs at Dahlgur Oasis and my desktop can keep consistent 60-70 fps at entire time. The Razer blade however seem to choke and drop to 30-40 fps with numerous mobs around. My desktop is only i5-2500 with GTX550Ti so nothing to brag about. I am both surprised and disappointed that razer is having this trouble, as I assume I'm not suppose to worry about horsepower on this machine. Can someone else confirm their performance on D3 with identical setting? Is throttling already coming into play after only 2min into the game? I had to lower down to 900 to keep a consistent ~60fps on the razer.

    I tried both stock Nvidia driver 332.78 and latest 337.88 driver on razer but both seem to exhibit the same performance.

    Go to settings and activate v sync. Immediately fixed and you can run 60 fps capped no matter how crazy the situation gets. It's weird but it works. Bug with new 8xx series mobile gpus.

    If you change the resolution to native (3200x1800) and crank the settings to max (leave antialiasing off, it's pointless at high resolutions), all you need to do is turn on V-sync and the blade will maintain 60 FPS in most situations (except the busiest screens), easily outpacing your desktop.
