    I just installed ut3 yesterday on my new acer aspire 5930g, and after maxing all the settings and enabling hardware acceleration at 1280x800 I was getting an average framerate of 20FPS.

    Is this normal, or should the laptop be getting a higher framerate??

    PS - I'm using the stock drivers that came with the laptop, and these are the specs
    P8400 2.26Ghz // 4 GB // 9600M GT (512MB GDDR3)

    Hardware acceleration is killing you, disable it and you'll jump to 40s
