[QUOTE="deus_ex_machina, post: 987083, member: 5726"] Note: the two graphics cards are not used in tandem. 9600gt uses more juice so make sure you're plugged in the wall. And yes , being a notebook it will run hot during a game that's CPU intensive. Make sure it's on a flat surface and no ports blocked. FYI if your MBP overheats it will shut down to avoid damage. If it's still running, it is just running hot. ;) [/QUOTE]
