My issues regarding the 7970m are sorted, do not put your graphic settings at supersampling - kills performance, leave it on Adaptive Multi-Sample AA or defaults.
All my other settings have been left in the middle and AA/AF have been left to the application.
Notebook check reviews are complete bull, you may find leaving all graphics on default settings can give the performance the website suggests.
But my skyrim session with the setting i have provided give a 50 - 60 FPS on 4 AA and AF on High Settings. And Beta drivers are the way to go, next i will be testing Deus Ex human revolution, pretty sure this will run at max.
 
Don't even bother with the graphics settings windows, I just have had so many problems with them on my desktop let alone a laptop GPU. Just stick to the graphics settings within the game

secondly, you have the weakest CPU in a gaming laptop there is pretty much, Skyrim is a game that will benefit a lot from having a good CPU so Notebookcheck's scores will be different on some games as they will most likely be getting the frames using a much faster CPU so it doesn't bottleneck the GPU (It will be impossible for you to reach their Guild Wars 2 FPS for example)

thirdly, although I can understand your frustrations you had with your MSI, could you maybe next time, open one thread instead of making a new one with each problem, you were close to pretty much spamming this board with the amount of threads you opened up

Anyway, I am happy you are all nice and sorted with your new gaming laptop!
 
Sorry i do not, however, they will run fine, there is no utilsation issues like there is with the clevo laptops. Deus Ex also runs max with vsync and triple buffer on, hate screen tearing, turn vsync off if you prefer though.

Clearly you are a intel fan boy, my loyalties are balanced. There is no bottleneck, i have a friend who has a clevo with a i7 and performance is more or less identical. Lower resolution and the i7 will win hands down, however, 1080p is the same. Although, i will admit that cpu intensive games will be benefited from a i7 somewhat.

Why is he a fanboy for speaking the truth? The 4600 IS the weakest gaming CPU on the market, and that will affect minimum framerates, especially (as you then ironically go on to say) in more CPU intensive games.

My experience determines that this laptop plays games at high/max settings with a nice fluent 50 - 60 FPS. I would prefer a i7 cpu, however, the cost far outweighs the positives, I only paid a grand total of £917, there is no better deal.
