    so i'm running 1280x720 everything on high except for shaders which are on medium, motion blur which is off and sound quality in medium and i seem to be getting close to an avg of 28 fps!

    it's the first time i've played this game and i think it is running great

    1201 Download the latest intel HD graphics drivers and Disable powermiser and you gain a further 5-6 constant frames :)

    Guys.. it's NOT in the control panel. It is an instruction set that helps control heat and miminize damage to card/notebook. It can be adjusted by updating registry entries or by using applications. I wouldn't recommend disabling it if you are not familiar with it. StevenX

    How are you guys getting such great numbers? I have an i5, I can't hold over 20 at the first town with water, all settings on medium with motion blur off. 1024x768 or native.
