I think something is wrong with my 2014 blade, but I'm not sure. When I load up SC2 on medium settings at 1080p, I get < 30 fps with a starting base (< 10 units on the screen). Is this expected? I would have thought this thing would kill SC2. SC2 is the only program running, and I've installed nothing but steam, SC2, and LOL.
I've done the following:
1. Confirmed SC2 is using the nvidia GPU in the tray icon for GPU activity
2. Tried setting 1080p in SC2 and also in the OS
3. Tried "disable display scaling on high dpi displays" for the executable
4. Re-installed latest graphics driver from nvidia gforce experience
5. Installed all windows updates
Can anyone confirm that this thing can actually run SC2? Or is there anything I might be doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try enabling V-Sync under SC2 Options Menu.

I have the 2013 Blade 14" and play Starcraft 2 at 1080p with pretty much all settings on high I believe. I usually get over 100 fps but I have seen it at like 50ish randomly, not sure why. I think it could pull higher settings pretty easy but just haven't tried. I've had it get stuttery only once or twice in the large number of hours I've played it. A quick restart fixed things. It sounds to me if there is something else wrong, not sure what though since you have everything up to date.

I am installing SC2 on my 2014 blade now and I am going to test the performance to compare against yours. I will respond to this when I have a chance to test it out.

I installed SC2 and tested it out. On maximum settings (V-Sync on, antialiasing off) at 1800p the rendered campaign menu inside the bar was choppy, but once I started a mission and was playing in the actual game it ran silky smooth no matter how many units I had on screen.

Thanks for the info, that confirms that something is actually wrong here. Now how do I debug?
One odd thing I noticed is that sc2 is listed as 32 bit in the task manager. Is that normal? -

Blade 2014 can barely run SC2?
