    hey guys
    i have an alienware 17 with 780m 4g ddr5 and 16gb ram. i installed COD BlackOps 2 but i am experiencing a bit of a shaky animated cut scenes in the game despite being on the lowest or the highest graphics settings inside the game.
    Plus for NFS Most wanted (2nd part) on highest settings, during the game sometimes it runs a bit slow and then runs fine. Any help please?

    That is Called Throttling due to the High temperature.

    780M Card or CPU is slowing down to prevent damage

    Please install this program

    http://www.hwinfo.com/files/hw32_426.exe

    and see what temeratures you have, then run a game and go back to the program to see if you are reaching 85'C+, if yes, then you have to repaste 780M, CPU probably as well
