    Greetings all, I am having an issue with my M1730. It has the 9800m gtx SLI and the x9000,

    I am having an issue where my bench mark numbers aren't bad, but my in game performance is lousy. I am playing Star Trek Online, and the game performance is so choppy that it is practically unplayable.

    GPU temps are around 65 C
    CPU temp goes anywhere from 60-80C

    GPU and CPU appear to run at the set clocks 3.7 ghz, and 600 1600 900

    3dmark06 scores flucuate from 13500-14200, although that is a little low as of late, with normal scores that were around 14500. At 3.8 ghz I can get just over 15000, although that requires overvolting the CPU which I don't like to do for temperatures.

    Has anyone else had this issue, as I have not seen it personally in my searches. Am I looking at GPU? CPU? Or anything else?


    Thanks

    I have another question, in the bios for the CPU does is it supposed to say X9000, because mine just says Intel Core2 Duo?
