    So i have a Sager 8150 with an i7-2630 coupled with a 6990m. While playing diablo 3 sometimes everything is super smooth but lately I've been noticing that the fps dips below 60 and causes stuttering. I used GPU-Z to check the clock speed of the GPU and for some reason it keeps jumping from 715mhz to 300mhz. When the GPU is running at 300mhz that is when it starts to stutter. I have been trying to find a way to keep it running at a higher clock while playing. Can anyone help me?

    Obvious question but what are your temps? It could be throttling.
