Also, I am just wondering... Does your laptop have a feature called "Nvidia Optimus"

Edit: Also check the power settings on the laptop (where the battery icon is) to make sure its on "Max/High Performance"

This sounds weird but I actually think the battery thing was the problem. I just ran MW2 at 70 FPS when I put battery performance at max. Was this really the problem? I didn't know the setting of the battery affected the games performance by that much...Damn. Seems like an amateur mistake on my part.

Well glad I was able to help lolll. But yea that is sometimes the issue... If you look at the "advanced power saving settings," There are settings that limit your cpu/gpu usage to 50% 25% and etc so that may have been the issue

Okay well then I just wanted to know one more thing. Is it dangerous to leave my laptop in high performance settings for too long? I usually have my charger plugged into my laptop so battery life isn't an issue but I worry that if I am constantly using high performance settings, will it reduce the life span of my Laptop? Thanks for all your help.
