Nice so your right around where I am for my laptop (7.0) Before this my other laptop had a 3.1 >_< I couldn't do anything with that!

You tried playing the Witcher 2 on it yet?

Haven't got it yet, I won't be able to afford new games for a while. Only tried Crysis, Dirt 2 and Dragon Age Origins on it. Crysis runs at 45 - 50 fps on average on high at 1366x786 resolution 2x AA, only dropping to 30 in very excessive foliage. Dirt 2 and DAO run at 60 fps constant with everything maxed.

Damn you can run Crysis 2 on high on that thing?!?  Man if I could share my copy of The Witcher 2 with you I would cause i'm interested to see how your computer could handle it. Mine can only play it on Medium settings with 22-28 FPS (but for some reason I can't really tell that the Frame rate is so low)

I think it's mostly due to the CPU rather than the GPU. The i7-2630QM is supposedly the 15th fastest available CPU in the market nowadays. Each core is 2.00 GHz but can turboboost to 2.9 GHz. 

The 6770M isn't too shabby as well. Since this is the 192 bits GDDR5 version, it's performance is on par with the GT 555M and HD 6870M GDDR3.

Also, what are your PC specifications? 

My processor is the exact same as yours (I just noticed that) but my windows experience says its only a 7.4

I have 8GB DDR3 ram

a GeForce GTX 440M

Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit 

Well, with those specs you should be running The Witcher 2 with much higher FPS. You sure it isn't a drivers related problem? 

I'm a computer noob so i'm not sure what the problem is....I have all my videocard drivers up to date (I think at least) and Steam automatically updated the patch for the Witcher 2 as well so that can't be the problem.

Have you tried playing around with the configs on the Forceware? Options like allowing Triple Buffering, Clamping negative LOD Bias and such can increase the fps performance a lot with almost no hit to the graphical performance

Do you mean tweak the graphics card itself or messing with the settings in The Witcher 2?

EDIT: Just found out what you mean....what else should I play around with to get the best performace out of my graphics card?
