    Hey guys

    i have a question. I got Tomb Raider and Farcry 3 i can run them on high but with low fps(20-50fps)...but when I put it on medium its perfect 60fps and steady...

    skyrim i run on high and have 50-60fps.. so I was wondering is the card not I have (580m) weak for this generation or are the games drivers just not up to paar?
    Skyrim looks great and runs nice but other games just lag when I increase the quality of graphics...

    Far Cry 3 fps looks fine to me. It's a demanding game.

    Is that a stock gtx580m ? Even the current most powerful mobile GPUs - 680M and AMD 7970M are barely powerful enough to run the latest games on the highest settings. And mind you, these are roughly 2x more powerful than a gtx580m.

    more like 50% more powerful, but m3ezu ist correct, ur 580m is showing fps rates as expected, nothing to worry about :) u can gain significant speed by disabling antialiasing without sacrificing much image quality at fullhd, btw.
