My quesion is, will the GPU on a laptop be running full whack all the time?
Is there anyway to make it throttle to idle when not in 3D use?

Thanks
 
I'm not sure, I'd have to put rivatuner on again or afterburner, it's my sisters laptop with an 8600M GT the battery life is really appalling:(
 
How are you liking Windows 7 on ur laptop shaken?

Thinking of: getting her a new batt ordered, a 7,200 rpm drive and student Win 7 deal
 
It's Powermizer that does the automatic down-clocking.

It works for some people in one driver release, and not at all in others.
I would suggest starting at the latest (proper) notebook release (186.81):

Link to Nvidia drivers

If one doesn't give results (I suggest using GPU-Z to check clock values), try something further back.
