    You are still getting 30FPS at worst. That is still a very playable speed. I really would not worry if I were you.

    Cheers,

    I'm not expert, but I can speak from experience of FPS games:

    Smoke has always killed my framerate on my desktops, let alone on my laptop. I know exactly why you are asking people about this, because I'm the same! It really bugs me when the screen just starts stuttering like that...
