    I posted a picture on tinypic to show the problem...

    Image - TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting

    But essentially I set Diablo 3.exe and Diablo 3 Launcher.exe to defualt High Performance NVIDIA processor but when I got to start/diablo III/Diablo.exe and right click then go to run with graphics processor it says that intel is default. I clicked apply, etc... I am getting 20FPS unplugged and I am prettys sure setting the default isn't working....any help?

    Umm thats cause the m14x doesn't do very well unplugged. :( I'm sure if you plug it in you will get a lot better FPS. ;)

    Yea I think so. From what I have seen, The m14x will run on integrated all the time when unplugged from the wall, no matter what you are doing. :(
