    I was downloading the updates for SC2 and during it, it said that my graphics card might not be compatible for SC2.
    When I got into SC2 I checked settings. Went to options and it said it can't determine my graphics card. And to set my own manually...
    Has anyone else had this?
    And if so, what should I do..or set the graphics to if nothing is wrong...?

    Haha. I just played my first match against comp just to test it out and wow. Major difference from my mac. Easier to grab units since their bigger then on a 13' lol.

    Basically every game you install as of right now will most likely not recognize your GTX 460M since it is still in its infancy stage of the consumer world but that doesn't mean it will not run, just means that the model number is not in the games database of compatibility. Practically all my Steam games does not recognize the model of my G73JW's nvidia card but the games run and they run smooth on max settings.. But its no biggie, just max out what you can and have fun.

    In a couple months, the nvidia GTX460M will be broadly more recognized with all games.

    ah ok, well I hope you enjoy it lol and being able to max the game out is due in part to the G73's awesome specs, and Blizzards ability to get there games to run well the first time (most of the time) and on old hardware...and ya the G73's screen would be quite a step up haha no problem

    Mine actually has the Radeon 5870.
    G73JH.
    Just to clarify.
    But it does run VERY nice. I'm a happy camper.

    Hey. Question for you guys since I don't wanna clog and make another thread.
    But with the "TwinTurbo Mode", when should I turn it on and off? Or does it matter?

    I keep it off. TurboBoost does a better job.
