im just pissed i spent all this money and only get 40-50 fps, when i first got it i was getting 100 on maps like contra, mill, and strike but on d2 it stays between 40-50.

maybe the steam updates screwed with something, I notice that tends to happen, I used to average 175-200 now i'm like 180-170

What video drivers you using? Maybe you're not on the "performance" battery settings?
