    Not much of a difference between Ultra and High, and of course, DX9 reigns supreme. Anything else?

    You want to average sixty frames per second, at decent resolutions and settings? To be frank, that won't happen with this notebook.

    Just for the sake of doubt, here's 800x600, Medium, DX9:

    Still only averages ~50fps.

    Max res, High, Dx9 looks great, and it's only bogged down by the nukes going off.

    Uhm.. just to put things into perspective here, there's a review with a few top of the line GPUs (4870x2, 280, etc) on a high spec'd desktop.. and THEY're not getting 60 fps on WiC...

    Perhaps you're asking for too much in a laptop?

    The reason why its "dissapointing" is that he runs at really high resolution so that's kinda normal that the framerate is lower. What do you expect? Maybe 4 GTX 280 in SLI could do 60fps...
