    Yesterday I was able to game for a good couple of hours and like usual, the macbook fans were blazing and the computer was going full force. Today, I fired up the same game and everything is super laggy. I am assuming that the GT650m is not working properly. Does anyone know a way I could test the card?

    I tried the following:
    1. Games (Tried a few to see if the fans would spin to compensate the heat of the card)
    2. 1080p youtube usually makes the fans kick on too.


    Thanks
