    Just got my N76VZ some days ago.
    System specs are: i7-3630QM, 8GB in a single stick, 750GB 7200RPM, nVIDIA GT 650M with 2GB.

    Installed a clean Windows 7 x64 and the drivers from manufacturer's site (like nvidia and intel). All updates are installed.

    Even from the beggining I got only 5.1 on WEI and I think something is not ok. In Battlefield 3, on medium video settings I get 15-17 fp, that's dissapointing.

    What do you suggest? What benchmarks should I run to check?

    Thank you.

    I did some benchmarks.
    3DMark vantage: P3437 3DMarks, GRAPHICS SCORE: 2688, CPU SCORE: 20830, using nVIDIA.

    3DMark 11 and Cinebench 11 couldn't use the Geforce and got very low scores with Intel 4000 CPU. How do I force them to use the GT 650M?

    Perhaps you should try with the latest drivers from nVidia.com and intel.com, they should improve performance in new games. You can force 3DMark 11 to use only GT 650M in nVidia control panel.

    I got the drivers from Nvidia, have the latest 306.97.
    In nVidia control panel I chose the GT as default for all programs and I have forced 3Dmark to use the GT
    .
    3DMark 11 does not see the GT at all, see pic

    I downloaded the beta 310.61 and 3DMark now is working properly.
    3DMark 11: P2341 3DMarks, GRAPHICS SCORE: 2178, PHYSICS SCORE: 6142, COMBINED SCORE: 1714
    3DMark vantage SCORE: P8603 3DMarks, GRAPHICS SCORE: 7253, CPU SCORE: 19474

    I hope the future stable drivers will work.

    now I have another problem. the monitor is looking greenish and I don't know how to fix it. :confused:
    I know I should do a professional calibration, but my old dell inspiron was fine.

    (looks like I'm talking to myself here...)
