    I tried using the Intel app XTU for OC'ing and OC was grayed out.

    With sandy, only the extreme edition was unlocked and the 8130 did not support it.

    Not a problem, but considering the 560M, the CPU is powerful enough for it, you would get all improvement possible by tweaking the GPU.

    Every time I play FSX, I hit a shortcut (nvidia inspector) on my desktop that gives the GPU maximum OC'ing and using that I get awesome FPS ever since I switched to an SSD--something I'm not understanding, unless, BURIED in all of the various settings, I set something different to the FSX install that sits on the HDD. Sometimes I get FPS over 120 and at large airports, during landing they are fast enough that landing visuals appear pretty smooth--I think I'm above 25 FPS at all times with the sliders all up. The machine runs FSX better than I hoped for.
