    hi guys, i do not know isit just my m17x thats sucky or what do i have to do?
    i saw many people with m17x benchmark videos getting good fps at max settings while mine can only get good fps at low or medium settings.

    for example, this guy's m17x has
    core 2 duo t9300, 4gig ram and 9800m in sli
    2 years ago video YouTube - Far Cry 2 Benchmark on Alienware m17x
    running farcry 2 benchmark max settings at 1920x1200 with 8xaa
    and has an average of 25-30fps.
    while mine on the other hand has
    core 2 duo t9600, 4gig ram and gtx280m in sli
    running farcry 2 benchmark all medium settings at 1440x900 with all high settings, fire physx and trees on medium only getting average of 35fps.

    playing crysis at all medium settings also only gives me average of 40-50fps

    im using new drivers, 258.96, on high performance mode, sli is on. can anyone tell me why does mine suck so badly? and is there anyway to solve it? ive tried reformatting, technician from dell came down to change both gpus, fans and motherboard but still the same.
