    Of course it all depends on the specs you choose but the link below should give you a good indicator of how sc2 and a few other games will run. BF3 should run roughly around the same as Bad Company 2 but it could be a little slower depending on how much more graphic intensive it is, hard to say when it's in alpha :)

    I have a stock M14x with a 900p screen and I'm running SC2 on ultra 100% smooth with a small overclock on the GT555m.

    I haven't got access to the BF3 alpha so I can't help you in that area.

    With a good overclock I run SC2 on ultra at 50-65 fps normally and 20-30 fps in intense battle scenes. This is on 4v4 by the way.
