    Has anyone else had trouble with the 3470 stuttering while in games? It happened to me worst while I was playing WoW but I've noticed it other times to a lesser degree while playing Spore and watching movies. Oh and it's not a matter of the FPS dropping as the framerate remains high. I've tried turning v-synch on and off but to no effect.

    Anyone have similar issues or, even better, a solution?

    I saw small delays in the storyline cinematics of a game, but I wasn't a big deal. Gameplay wasn't affected, it's been generally above expectations. I've gotten some stuttering during clips, but I think it's just Active Protection getting overzealous (when I move the laptop a little).
