    Well that and locked software overclocking. Hopefully it's just a bug or new control scheme that the software programs need an adjust to work with.

    some games seem not to work (Watch Dogs) or just stutter like crazy (wolfenstein: TNO). it might be the 980m or it might be the game - there are other games that work fine so hard to say.
