    Playing it with a GTX 580m, 800gb HDD, windows 64bit, 4gb RAM, i7 2720QM CPU. Drivers all updated. Settings aren't even max, they're all somewhere in the middle. Turned vsync off. Even changing the resolution doesn't provide a fix. It'll run fairly smooth and then just dip randomly to 20, maybe even 15 fps.

    Any ideas?

    Sounds like your 580m is throttling.

    What laptop do you have?

    Figured, You were looking at the right thread for that. In the Alienware M17x sub forum. That will fix your problem with the throttling.
