    Are you still using the non-Dell drivers?

    Yes I'm still using the only drivers i found to work on Windows 7. They worked fine up until today though.

    Well now i'm really stumped. Got home booted up my m17x ran the same Crysis benchmark i ran yesterday and got 3.8FPS on and today i got this:

    Run #1- DX10 1900x1200 AA=No AA, 32 bit test, Quality: High ~~ Overall Average FPS: 44.55

    Only think i can think of is that the power i was using my laptop on yesterday was dirty and causing undervoltage on CPU/GPU, or it was just PFM (Pure F*cking Magic)
