Can anyone comment on how battlefield bc2 runs on this laptop?
im think of selling my desktop with a 4850 but scared that the 4670 isnt strong enough.

Ran into an odd issue. I usually go to standby by pressing Fn+F1 but with this laptop, it seems to go into hibernate instead. Windows Power settings are set to sleep only when pressing the power or sleep button. Can one of you try this and see what happens?

I haven't been able to play it on the 1647, but just a word of warning, the 4670 in the XPS 16 is not equivalent to the desktop version of the 4670. The 4850 in your desktop will perform MUCH better than the 4670 in the XPS 16.

To compare, I have a 9800GTX+ in my desktop (which is around the 4850) and I can turn up a lot more settings (shaders, antialiasing) at 1080P than I can on the XPS 16, even though the 4670 has 1GB versus the 512MB in the 9800GTX+.

I am betting that you can run BF:BC2 on the XPS 16 just fine, but you will have to turn a lot of things down to run it at 1080P.

I suppose it could be a solution to the flickering and everything!

I lowered my brightness I you requested for the last 15 minutes or so and had no flicker whatsoever. May I suggest you install CCC and let it control your graphics to see what happens.? You can (and should) always make a restore point 1st before the install to revert back if does not solve your issue. Good Luck.

I need to order one now that A04 is out, mine is running too hot

Hold off on doing that. Give us a little time to make final decisions, unless you feel you need to get one immediately.

has anybody with 130w adapter same GPU throttling problems like me?

[fmac]

GPU throttling is going to happen no matter what adapter you have. Once the GPU reaches 84 degrees it will start to throttle. Lets hope that gets fixed, although its a safety issue I think the gpu can handle a little more heat.

@Todd: Once the final decisions are made please inform us. Im hoping to get the 130 watt adapter the same way 1645 owners did. This laptop is still throttling with A04 when using the 90 watt psu. I did some tests, if you want any verification please let me now. thanks

I have no throttling on the 130w adapter when running furmark/prime

U have No throttling on the 130/A04?

[fmac]

I think he is saying that he has, but zyc_hot didnt report throttling, he said he was getting a multi of 22x running Furmark + P95 with the 130 psu.
