    Hello there guys I really need some help with my laptop. As Steam just had the sale for Crysis 2, I thought I would get it for the multiplayer. After installing it, I played the multiplayer at extreme setting graphics with DX 11 off and no High-Res Textures. I was getting 20-30 Fps. I was really mad as I had already turned down the graphics by deactivating DX 11 and HRT. I had to put my graphics to the lowest setting(high) and I still receive 35 fps on the average. I am currently using Alienware M14x R1 , Nvidia 555m 3GB. Could someone please help me with this problem?

    I remember playing the campaign on high setting with ease. try white-listing the app to make sure it's using the gt555m
