    The known issue of video playback stuttering in full screen with our laptop due to the GPU downclocking is solved with this driver version. Powermizer does not kick in when playing videos at full screen and the playback is much smoother due to the GPU acceleration. So go and get these drivers!!!

    Enable IDA (Intel Dynamic Acceleration) with RMClock then config your profile to only use IDA mode and tada!

    Yeah just realized that. My t9600 goes to 3.06 sometimes but it's really useless cause it happens once in a blue moon.

    I locked my multiplier @ 7.5x for 2000mhz and I got a score of 3000.
    I turned on IDA, and I kept getting a score of 3600.
    Muy facil

    Basically same computer, yeah I'm pretty sure the p8600 has IDA capabilities, it only helps with single core programs though.

    If this works.

    YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

    @viilutaja

    If you have the stock CPU I don't believe it will work. I checked mine, and the option is grayed out.

    It actually didn't work on youtube for me. I was watching in 1080p though. It may not have fixed the powermizer issue then, just made it not take effect as quickly.

    Also, it may be different for different resolutions. It never takes causes problems for me if I set my resolution to 1280x800 before I go fullscreen.

    @mew1838, on what did you base your opinion that this issue is solved with this driver?
