Hello,
Hey, everybody. I'm looking to get a new Inspiron 17R SE. It's a core i7 3630, 8gb ram 1600, and 2gb 650m. Just wanting to get an idea of its gaming performance. Mostly how good is it gonna play Skyrim, BF3, new Tomb Raider, and for fun can it touch Crysis 3. Looking for graphics settings and FPS. Also any tips on how to configure it to get the most out of the i7 and 650m. Thanks

Your biggest limitation is the 1920x1080 resolution paired with the 650m in regards to gaming. You will be looking at medium (and sometimes low-med) settings in most newer titles if you want to stay above 40 fps. 1600x900 screen resolution seems to be the sweet spot for that card and medium to high settings.
