    So ive decided to overclock the GPU to 850-1000 using 11.5b and ran the witcher 2, supposedly a really hardware demanding game. I was met with very pleasant results.

    Using 720p resolution. I set the game on ~ultra with ubersampling disabled (even high end desktop cards have trouble with this setting), texture size set to very large (1 up from normal ultra settings), motion blur + blur effects disabled, shadow set @ medium, AA on.

    So far Ive play the game to act 2, and throughout the various landscapes, cities, Ive maintained a minimum of 25 fps in combat, and average of 29-30. FPS increase to 40 in doors, 33 in cities, and roughly 25-28 in outdoor locations.

    Temperatures have been very decent, as I have set coolsense to the coolest mode, stabilizing @~75 max.

    Verdict:

    Witcher 2 being the very graphics intensive game that it is, Im very surprised at 6770m's performance. This is a very overclockable card in the dv6t quad edition since the laptop maintains temperature very well allowing you the comfortable headspace without worrying about risking hardware integrity.

    That said, I believe this laptop will be able to run all the upcoming games @high or above using 720p.
