    The framerate chugs like I'm playing the game on a commodore 64. Even on very low settings the game is a slideshow.

    I'm suspecting that for some odd reason, the onboard HD3000 is trying to run the game instead of the GT555m.

    Does anyone else here have the yet and how does it run for you?

    Did you try to whitelist the game using the nVIDIA control panel ?

    Yeah, you will have to check the Nvidia Control Panel Settings, the next article can help you go thru those steps fairly easy.
