    With all the throttling problems I see with 580M owners; I started to get curious who doesn't have any throttling issues.

    My 580M has never throttled me with hundreds of hours of gaming. Black Ops, MW3, Crysis 2 and a little Skyrim is what I play. I have the laptop sitting on a cheap Targus cooler and 85% of the time it isn't even plugged in to the USB port.

    My R3 is at all stock clocks/stock paste and running the A06 BIOS.

    So, if you own a 580M R3 put your vote up on the issue. Interested to see what margin where dealing with here.

    Thanks

    Most people who don't overclock or overvolt will not see throttling. I do because I'm EXTREME!

    Yes, but I solved the issue. I bought a 6990M

    Trololol

    Issue can be solved easily, no need for a thread like this.
