    hello i recently installed a 780m to my alienware m17r4 but i have been experiencing issues. When playing games if my card goes higher than 69 degress it reduces performance drastically. I ran MSI Kombuster and the report said it was throttling the clock down to 713MHz. When playing games like COD ghost,bf4, planetside 2, i go from 60plus fps to lower than 20. Can i fix this problem?

    I suggest flashing with the vBIOS from TechInferno. I had a LOT of problems, especially with SLI, before I flashed with that. I'll never go back to stock. My stuff ran cooler too. It's like the jesus bios.

    Good advice. I wouldn't waste time pushing them without it.
