    Hi,

    I recently got an 6935G and have played some games on it to find the graphics quite 'jittery'.

    It's got the 9600m same as yours and I wondered how you are finding gaming on it?

    Thx

    Mark

    That's called throttling. The hardware will downclock if the temperature gets too high. Make sure you check your systems temperatures, if it's getting above 90 degrees C, clean your vents. That usually sorts it. Also, run Throttlestop

    Ah ok - thanks for the reply :) I was getting a bit dissapointed with the jittering as I was expecting bigger and better things.
    I'll open it up and dust it out over the weekend and let you know what I find

    I personally use hwmonitor for checking my temperatures. Throttlestop will tell you the DTS (digital thermal sensor) reading from your CPU too, which is pretty cool. (or hot, lololol)

    Thank you for specs. Now I know what I'm looking to buy t9600, instead of unsupported t8100 :)
