    Im getting 30-40 frames compared to 60+ in mw2. Game doesnt look better even though the requirements are higher. Can anyone else tell me what they are getting.

    1600x900 4x AA extra shadows everything.

    Yeah from what i've seen it's not an extremely demanding game.. I had a play with my 425m and it was good. Any middle class mobile GPU should be able to handle at least medium settings.

    Ugg... any AA is probably going to demolish your framerates on video cards like these.. and really with the screen size to resolution, doesn't offer a huge benefit.

    Also, maybe it is just like me, but I feel that AA always adds a strange delay to controls.
