    Hey guys how are you, well i use to have dell's driver before installing the Laptop2go driver (84.26), I been so confuse on these driver. My question is do this driver Oc the card? And how can I check if my card is overclock?

    Ps when I use to have the dell driver ill get small pauses on NFS most wanted
    After installing the laptop2go I get the same thing but look better.

    Also its get hot while I play games on my system like about 75C is that normal?

    And finally how can I improve my performance? (NO SMALL PAUSES)

    i'm not aware of any drivers that overclock the card... you would use an overclocking utility to OC it which you could safely do with that card, but i don't know too much about Ocing nvidia, sorry. btw, how did you go about installing the new drivers? did you completely uninstall or use a driver cleaner or anything like that?

    As to heat, trying propping the back end of your comp up to get more circulation of air and better ventilation, but high temps are normal, once again im not sure what the norm is for that card.

    Concerning the pauses, is it lag, like low framerate? have you tried lowering the settings, though i douobt you really would have to with a laptop like that. OCing would get you more performance if you want it so you can run at high settings and get good framerates. hope this is helpful.

    could be overheating then, and possibly too high settings but i doubt that since it is a solid card. What are the settings on the card itself that you set with your driver software? if those are set too high that can also cause problems...
    But still the best way to get performance increases past what you have is to overclock :D
