    Just want to know if everybody is in the same boat as me. I cannot get past 100+ fps in extrme settings on sc2 in game. I usually only get 80max on some maps and min of as low as 25 in big battles. I am not talking about replay coz i can get more than 80 in that.

    I just recently upgraded to 11.10 driver. The same performance with 11.9 though. Thanks!

    I would have NEVER (HUM) guessed you played SC 2 buddy.... ATCHOOOO !!
    Anyways, my 2 year old laptop (Q9000, Nvidia 9800m GTX, 8 GB RAM 1Ghz freq) would run SC 2 with maybe 5-10 fps difference than my brand new Alienware... I think they just didn't coded the game right would be my guess :S.... But who am I to tell...

    Heeee I'm on european servers buddy :p but even if, I only play with my friends because I am so bad at it I just don't have the proper strats even when I'm told what to do xD
    And I got approximately NO IDEA what my fps is on SC II, in the 60 range on beginning, down to 15-30 with mothership around with control freezes when it is center screen, all ultra/extreme (which ever is highest) 1650*1080 on old toshiba, 1600*900 on new r3.

    I may be reading this wrong but you seem sad you can hit that high fps on a game optimized for dual core systems with the best amd mobile gpu out qohelet.
    If you'd like a gpu challenge, you should try crysis 2 w/ dx 11 + high res patch.

    I had a 460m initially and the 560m is a slightly better version of it. Though even in combat w/ 40+ units and a mothership I never go below 30 fps in extreme...so you should be in mid 30 range in combat at a smaller resolution.

    You should consider using msi afterburner or other nvidia overclock programs and oc your clock a bit.
