    Hi !!

    I have a duocore CPU and a GTX460m GPU.
    I really would like to see the REAL difference in performance becouse i only use like 60-70% CPU power during play.

    Anybody have pratical experience about my little issue ? :D

    Regards

    Tobbe

    You can raise the TDP using Throttlestop with that chip, I would do that over upgrading. You're still GPU limited in the end.
