7970M heatsink modification.

I would recommend the 920xm though. I did get a massive performance increase in Skyrim. In general the extra CPU power will help with the minimum fps and some stability in fps. But it's effect is small, specially if you already have a capable cpu.

But in general, the 460m should be more than enough. Very few games do take advantage of the extra cores and speed.

And yeah benchmarks do look nicely haha.

BF3 is very CPU intensive when you have a weak GPU - type 460M/5870M - with a powerful GPU like the 7970M, doesnt matter what CPU you have, BF3 will run perfectly - tested.

Your MOBO do support 55W, no problemo! For 180W PSU, you can check on eBay.

The only difference between 920XM and 820xm is: higher clock, higher TDP (55W>45W) and unlocked multipliers to allow o/c That looks cool in benchmark I can guarantee.

Okey, but it's better if i get 820qm then, because i cant OC in my bios what i know. which cpu could i compare the 820qm to and the 920xm?
EDIT: I mean which desktop cpu.

Okey, so i should first get like 8GB ram and a 7970m and then a better cpu?

Do I unlock the bios so I can OC my 920xm if I buy one? Because it have unlocked multipliers?

You can either configure the cpu in bios for the multipliers or.simply use throttlestop.and increase via software when you actually want/need to.

Okey, but the problem is when i go into my bios i cant find any overclock things. Or is it only because i have a 460m and not a cpu with unlocked multipliers?
How do throttlestop works? Could i overclock my 460m to 3ghz?

And where could i find a hd 7970m or a gtx680m?

Hey there, cards were sourced via eurocom's ebay outlet upgradeyournotebook.

We are not even sure what the 680M will be yet.

Any other questions are a bit OT and should be taken to the GX660 owners lounge or a new thread.

You can find 7970m at Dell, and 680m in Land of Imaginary Cards.

Okey, but i cant find a 7970m. I think i must wait then. Could i buy it direct from DELL?

[Meaker]

If you try really hard so I hear.

For those of you who have been able to purchase the 7970m early, why does it cost $450 compared to having a sager built with one in it for $200?
