    Good luck at 1080p. I'd say 720p @ low settings.

    It has also to overclock the GPU at least to the level of a GT540m

    My GPU is running at GT 435m speeds which I believe to be a tiny bit faster than the 525m (don't quote me on that) and I'm able to run 1366x768 at all medium with some high (terrain and texture) settings mixed in.

    I would say at 1080p you might have a tough time running it smoothly. 720p @ medium is definitely do-able, especially if you overclock your GPU.
