    So I'm running Mirrors edge and have a wee bit of a problem... you see even at the lowest settings on everything it is very slow and laggy, normaly about 20-25fps with drops to single digits every now and then, the OC'ed P8400 at 2.7Ghz is loaded to 100% and nearly nothing is running in the background, Crysis literally runs better!
    Help?

    Does it have the 9800M GS? Well, if you haven't yet, did you update your drivers? Also check, you might have AA on to the highest, I think that makes most games dip even with high cards.

    That's weird, though, even in my 9300M GS I can run Mirror's Edge at about ~20fps in low-med, and the lowest I've seen was when it hit 12fps.

    Try to turn off the physx option in game if you haven't, it's a big performance hit.

    Edit: I remember I could run it at 1920x1080 with medium to high settings with my G50VT(without physx of course)

    I suppose it has something to do with your drivers, try to switch to another one.
