    So Iv seen people play battlefield bad company 2 on the M11x and they seem get 20 or so FPS. When I play I get around 2-4 give or take on low settings. I'm positive my drives are up to date and Iv got the game running on the high-performance NVIDIA processor. I bought the game viva Steam. Over all I don't think My Laptop preforms the way it should at all. If anyone could help me find what my problem is that would be fantastic =)

    Specs
    Intel(R) Core (TM) i5 CPU U520 @ 1.07GHz, 1067 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

    3gigs RAM

    149GB Hard drive.

    If more info is needed let me know

    What are your in game settings?
    Also overclocking your cpu and using throttle stop will improve performance.
    I'm getting 35fps at 720 with everything low except mid texture on multiplayer when there are lots of stuff happening. In normal circumstances, i get 50fps

    im pretty sure that might be the problem. try right clicking the game shortcut and choose "high performance graphics processor"
    other then that, if it still doesnt work right id try the new 275 beta drivers that nvidia just released.
