    I could have sworn I saw a thread on it but can not find it at all. Was there a BIOS and/or volt mod done for the 580m to boost its clocks to a stock 560Ti?

    I saw this: http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-m17x/598992-580m-vs-6990-benchmarks-16.html#post7786254

    Looks like it is being undervolted some how.

    And if it is possible, can we change the 2D clocks to the 3D clocks and *FINALLY* run off of battery? Yes, I realize the battery will die in a matter of a half hour or so, just would like the OPTION to do that with my own equipment ;)

    Has anyone attempted a voltage drop to lower the temps @ stock or even a slight OC?
