    I don't see any 'video sampling' options in Catalyst. Are you talking about AA and AF? Jacking both of those up is going to take a HUGE toll on your performance. A fully-loaded Alienware laptop can't play every game at full graphics settings at 60 frames per second. They are the most powerful laptops in the world, but that is asking too much my friend. We all wish it was that easy.
