    Guys i just got this notebook and already is pissing me off...
    Yesterday i played L4D/MW2 with very good FPS but today is working like a Commodore 64... 15-20 FPS... Pretty much sucks.. I installed the lastest drivers from Dell.com... The GPU is a 4670... What can I do?
    Thanks.

    P.S.: Also, yesterday, when i could actually play like 30 mins, i noticed a reaaalllyyy annoying delay between my mouse and the screen? Anyone else noticed this?

    Did you change any power options or any settings (or playing on battery) in between the good and bad gaming session?

    Did your room temperature change? If your settings are good, use GPU-z and ThrottleStop in monitoring mode to see which is causing your problems.
