    Thought I'd start a thread on this... I'm getting anywhere from 40-45fps down to 18-ish set on HIGH everything -- in the starting area (Jedi Consular). I have no overclocking, my specs are in my sig. Laptop is about 2 weeks old, refurb. Took out most if not all of the bloatware and am running Catalyst 11.12 and updated BIOS and VBIOS.

    I found it to have a bit too much stutter for my taste with everything set to high. I turned down shadows and it runs fine. It will drop into the high twenties briefly in highly populated areas but it plays fine. I'm running 1080P. I didn't find turning down the resolution to help very much.

    With everything on high or even everything on low it runs at 40-80 fps, but every so often it will dip down to 18-20 for 2-3 sec for no reason and then go back up. It is very frustrating, there isnt even anything crazy going on when it happens, its just like a hiccup or something.

    Mr Blue how did you get your GPU core speeds up so damn high?? @.@

    EDIT: NM not as hard as i thought it would be. The design of these G series notebooks is godly.
