    Ok, so far all the video drivers I have updated from Laptopvideo2go has not work for this laptop. Seems like every one of the them just down clock itself. Now for any one that has this laptop is flashing the vbios for drivers to work and to overclock the only way? I am really trying stay away from doing that as I don't want to screw up my laptop and hoped there is another option.

    if its downclocking then you might be gaming on the battery. GPUs downclock themselves when running on battery to save battery life.

    As well as making sure you're in High Performance mode, make sure you're not in silent mode (page 1 - 8 of the quick start guide).
    Have you tried the 176.25 drivers from the Sager site?
