    Simple question with no solid answer. Do all of the Y70's have IPS displays? I have searched and searched online but have not really found a solid answer. Lenovo does not list IPS on their Y70 touch or non touch but every single review or owner review I have seen said they have an IPS display. Can any owners here chime in?

    Thanks

    Yes, and these are very high quality IPS at that.

    Email (address removed per Prema's request - if you need him, he's @Prema here) and send him a copy of your Bios. He will modify the GPU limit for you, so you can overclock it pass the Nvidia limit.

    But if your laptop has the 960m, you wont see much difference. Just use Nvidia inspector and raise the core clock to the 135 Mhz limit.

    The error correction feature of GDDR5 can lower the performance of the 860m and 960m
    If the clocks are raised too high.

    Bumping the core clock and memory clock to 135 MHz and 350 MHz respectively should be quite fine.

    Good luck.
