    Hello guys,
    I read through the forum rules and was not sure whether to put this in Clevo thread or here in the Gaming thread...
    But I bought the Clevo Sager 9150 in August 2012
    Specs here:
    GPU: Nvidia 4 GB GTX 680m
    16 GB DDR3 ram
    CPU: Intel i7-3630QM 2.40 Ghz (x 8 threads) | 3.40 GHz (x 4 Threads) | 6 MB L3 Cache | 45 Watts
    Hard Drive: 750gb 7200rpm HDD (Plan to upgrade to OCZ Vertex 4)

    I am not sure what to do to fix FPS lag for the game.
    I assume the equivalence of the GTX 680m is maybe the GTX 570? Not sure really.. But I am constantly running around the 20 FPS in Dragon Nest.
    Reading around, it looks like clocking the CPU in this laptop does not seem possible (I emailed Sager hoping to find a firmware update for the bios allowing that), but I saw the possible updates in the Clevo section, but was not entirely sure whether to try those firmwares in there or not.

    Is there anything I can do to improve the FPS?
    I tried fiddling with the Nvidia control panels and changing the AA and such, it made it a little better but I hope there are better options...

    If anyone can help me out that would be awesome!
