    Hey, I just purchased a Lenovo with the 730m "T540p Switchable Graphics 1GB
    "

    So I'm coming from a 5650m, which I wasn't really unsatisfied with. But I could overclock it to get some frames out of a couple of games.

    Is that an option with the 730m?

    730m is nice amount a bit faster than 5650m, download MSI Afterburner and overclock it little by little 5-10mhz until you find safe overclock.
