    Hello, So I recently bought this computer and I have to say that i've never seen a good looking and decent laptop like this.

    But I have a problem, or at least I think that I have. The thing is that I'm not getting what is supposed to when I'm playing games. Example: People with the same laptop/graphic card as me can play Skyrim at High/Ultra (1080p) at 50-60 FPS while i ,in general, can't get more than 35 on High.

    Same thing for the game DmC: Devil may Cry, I should be able to run it on Ultra but i can't even run it smoothly on High.

    I always Update my nVidia drivers but that doesn't seem to help anything at all. I also tried to force the laptop to run with the nvidia GPU. I don't know if this is enough reason to complain about the laptop to the store (where i bought the laptop), but If you want prints with my terrible FPS xD i can get that.

    Just to make things clear the specs are:

    i7 3630QM 2.40Ghz - 3.40Ghz
    Geforece 650m 2Gb DDR3
    6Gb RAM DDR3

    What to expect from gt 650m at 1080p with current game demanding a powerful GPU? it is more or less a desktop performance of gt 640 which isn't even intended for mainstream PC gaming at 1080p.

    Try to go 1 step down for 1600x900 resolution from 1080p. It will boost ~20% performance at same setting. But things will look slightly less crisp on that non-native resolution in most cases.

    You can also overclock the chips to get more out of them :)
