Disclaimer: I do NOT recommend anyone keeping their GPU OC for gaming, I don’t. Thisvideo shows an Asus G73JH rog gaming laptop running the ‘China Trailblazer’ first race of Dirt 2. The full screen race is with the ATI 5870m GPU overclocked at 800×1100 which most G73′s should be able to do. Parts of a similar non overclocked (stock 700×1000) race and replay are overlaid in the upper right corner. FRAPS is running on both and by eyeballing it, we have around a 9 to 13% FPS improvement depending on cam view. It does raise the heat by 4 to 5C on my GPU and it is totally unnecessary as gameplay is smooth, except for the water entry and as far as I can tell, it’s just this track in either chase cam view. I used videostudio x3 to edit this video. I did not use Asus Twin Turbo for either race. I plan on more game videos for the Asus G73JH (eg BC2 when released, HAWX, GRID, NFS Shift and more). i7 720QM ATI 5870m 8GB DDR3 1333 Intel x25m G2 Thanks for watching.

I plan on it and Dirt 2 is a DX11 game. I will be making another track race with Post Process on HIGH. I don’t know what to look for to see any difference, but it still runs well. When AvP becomes cheap, I will try it.
Dude if you could make even more framerate videos like this with the Asus G73jh you would be a champion. Or perhaps even test a DX11 enabled game such as AvP.
Normally I use the G25 wheel, but in this video I was using the xbox360 controller, which can explain a lot of the driving. With that class of car, you will need to finesse the throttle.
