Nah that's that lil kids mod right the kid that spent a year making how is that shyt? and as for your flicking Try using Vsync option "Adaptive" in the game profiles of you Nvidia Control Panel. It fixed all problems for me and works amazing. If that doesn't work install MSI After Burner whats happening is your gpu's are idling when they throttle to normal speeds they are causing your screen to flicker by setting the cards to a very slight oc they will remain that that speed setting.. try to first option tho

I can't even imagine what Gabe is cooking. I have a feeling that they are going to drop a bomb, and release a high end "pc console" for $300 that finally standardizes what pc gamers can buy and be comfortable with for 5+ years because of the influence of Valve.

I think not including Windows is what got me to that price range...lower price + some crazy steam incentive? :wow:

also in the nvidia control panel, you can set the Power Management to "Prefer Maximum Performance". I think that stops a lot of the throttling

Hmm I never really advise people to get laptops as they cost way more for what your getting. A nice laptop could run you for like 1300 or more a good desktop thats stronger would only hit you for about 700. But if you really want a laptop get a Sager they are by far one of the best laptop gaming sellers.
Props on the info. I'm just trying to get something to pc game on the go I also need a new laptop anyway and macbooks aint the answer. I'll be building something when I get to a more stable situation but this'll last for a year or so.

Those Haswell Sagers look good and have good reviews so I'll probably roll with them.

Np bro, but if you can front one of those Haswell Sagers get one they well hold you down for a min. This one has a 770m video card i wouldn't get with anything less.
