    540m,550, 555m, and 6770m?

    And is there a noticeable difference in SC2 running it at 1080p versus at 720p?

    (or medium/high)

    yes those gpu are capable of 1080p with medium/high

    sc2 is cpu dependent mainly, so make sure you have a decent cpu

    Are you sure about the 540m? Thinking about a dell xps 15 with the 1080p RGB screen...

    there is no way the GT540 can pull SC2 with high settings at 1080p & giving a flawless gameplay

    the 540 can handle it in 1080p.

    i have the m11x r3 with the 540 and output it to a 1080p monitor just fine.
    all of those work.

    the 6770M runs it perfectly. I ran it at Ultra sometimes, but mostly on high when I played multiplayer. Probably cuz I don't have a quad core so I couldn't max.

    CPU doesn't have much to do with running game at Ultra, it's all about video card, probably couldn't multiplayer because a lot more units than normally in multiplayer.

    In any case High looks like Ultra to me, so just save yourself the framerates.
