    Hey guys

    Just getting some info here for the AW forums to see if there was any problems of downclocking on the video card of any othergaming systems. Dell's 1730 has no downclocking issues at all, so hopefully getting some input from other brands


    Thanks

    Mine doesn't downclock unless it needs to (powermizer kicks in etc) however I have found that powermizer kicks in on any of the 174 series past 174.20 on my notebook during gaming and at random times.

    The downclocking only happens if you use non Alienware drivers...
