    I'm surprised to see nobody's posted this yet but here's the performance of the g73jh-A2 with the dragon age II Demo

    Resolution - 1920x1080

    DX9, Med setting preset, SSAO off, No AA, No AF - 60fps most the time

    DX11, High setting preset, SSAO off, No AA, No AF - very playable i.e. 35-60 fps at any given time

    DX11, High setting preset, Any one of the following- SSAO on or 2xAA or 16xAF - playable i.e 25-45 fps

    Very high preset is locked in the demo

    Note: - i've modded my vbios so my default clocks are 750/1000
    i'm currently running catalyst 11.2

    on a side note, the game switches to default colour profile in-game, does anybody know how to avoid this?
    Edit: nevermind, found a fix for the colour profile issue

    Seeing these results makes me happy.

    I just picked up Dragon Age Origins (ult edition) and am really loving it. Was hoping DA2 wouldn't destroy my machine.

    A little choppy on DX11 w/ full everything - no AA (why on 1080p?)

    but still VERY playable. Dropping it to dx9 makes it silky smooth.

    It ran excellent for me also. I'm only at 1600x900 tho :p. But it looked beautiful none the less.

    was on dx11 with all set to High.
