    There's an entire thread dedicated to the performance and every other aspect of this and similar dv6t's... A simple thread search should get you the answer to pretty much every question you might have.

    I searched and didn't find what I was looking for. Can someone give a link to what I was looking for?

    i can run the witcher 2 at a constant 30fps on medium settings with the same specs except 8gb of ram and the quad i7, except this game is quite graphics heavy so you should expect similar framerate

    and as strange as this might sound, my laptop used to get pretty hot to the touch at the top left corner but now it just gets moderately warm. the temperature still gets around 75-80 C while gaming but its not as hot up there anymore ^_^
