Hello everyone,
I recently got a sager 8130 and I am concerned about the gaming performance of my laptop. Here's the situation:
i7-2720qm (not overclocked)
gtx 460m (265.77 and not overclocked)[i tried the latest driver 266.58 and it gave an error,which is common, and didnt want to use altered desktop drivers instead]
8gb ram (3.49 usable)
generic Hitachi HD
power setting is set to high performance
windows 7 32-bit (I am aware that 32-bit windows cannot use all the ram)
COD:Black Ops = I am getting 15-25fps in any scene with shooting with 1920*1280 resolution and everything else set to low.
BFBC2 = With everything maxed, 25 fps in average (I was expecting this). The problem is that I get 35 fps in average with everything set to low, including the resolution. I get between 25 and 35 fps with all the intermediate settings. I have tried every setting for this game(including the ones in nvidia control panel) to no avail.
Crysis= Again around 25 fps with 1920*1280 and everything set to low and doesnt get much higher with everything is set to low.
Please note that I am aware of the capabilities of the gpu and dont expect to play every game at highest details with 60 fps.
But I am sure that there is a performance issue here.
The difference between my fps and those in netbookcheck's gpu chart is obvious.

What is the reason? Is there something I am missing?
