    Hi I just installed hon (Heroes of Newerth) on my g73 and i have been getting an abysmal 15 fps and tried to lower the settings to minimal but i get the same fps. i also get very very slow load times.

    I have stock GPU drivers. Is it safe to upgrade or should i stick to stock? i have been reading all that GSOD thing and i am scared lol.

    Not sure what to do here :S

    Are you sure you are not using it in power saving or battery saving power plan mode?
