I recently bought a HP Envy 15 1060ea.
It's packed with an i7-720QM and an ATI Mobility 4830 with the following benchmarks-

Should run games pretty nicely right?
Well apparently not, during my gameplay of WoW, i'll sometimes be achieving 40 - 60 FPS low - medium in confined areas when not many players are around, however majority of the time it is below this, or my gameplay consists of tearing and lag spikes during combat and when im in larger areas of the game.
It got even worst, since during 'raiding' as WoW players call it, where 25 of you are working to kill things, so many spells etc flying around, i was achieving 4 - 6 FPS, which is even worst than my desktop with 2gb ram, Athlon 64x2 and 4650 HD
I used to use the stock drivers which came with the machine, i updated to the new mobility drivers which made no difference, i was told a modded version of the desktop drivers would be optimal for my notebook, i went through that, still no difference.
I've gotten rid of all bloatware which came with the Laptop to my knowledge, the only thing i can source this problem down to would somehow be the GPU.
Googles provide no one else with FPS issues on their 4830's, WoW wise or any game really.
Any help appreciated.
