Dell is the side that's going under. Don't automatically link that to Alienware because they own them.

As to the OP I would check your drivers and the Nvidia Control panel, check to make sure SLI is enabled.
Have you ever owned a REAL Alienware? The junk they are releasing now for the insane pricetags can't hold a candle to the original Alienware.

Really, though, gaming laptops are rarely great choices. You pay more than you should for an underpowered machine.

This game is not optimized. I don't care what anyone says. You can have the best computer available and get lag.

And I play on an Alienware and have no problems but I don't PvP. Admit it, this game engine is terrible. If you can't all see that, you've got blinders on.

And there is the second time you've mention NVidia.
NVidia drivers blow AMD out of the water. Then add in the basic specification of the NVidia cards.
There is a reason why NVidia cards grace the very top of the performance charts. They may not win on the price/performance charts - but for sheer power and driver stability they far exceed anything AMD can bring to the table.

Yup, SLI is on, running version 311.48. PhysX proccessor is set to Auto-Select. Is there a recommended way? Use CPU, or dedicate one of the video cards to do it?

I think everyone took a warzone queue, there's about 6 people here and it's pretty solid at 55 - 60 fps now. This is frustrating.

Define real Alienware laptop?

Mine is the M18X R2, SLI 680m, 16gb Ram, i7 3920XM @ 3.33Ghz.

You can also use Single Display Performance Mode, Triple Buffer On, Thread Optimization On and I always Run 16x AF under Manage 3D Settings. PhysX always on GPU2.

But the problems you're describing as when your render a lot of people that is the game not you.

I HIGHLY recommend turning SLI off.

I agree that this engine is bad -- I don't know if I'd say "terrible" -- but it is certainly bad.

As far as "best computer and get lag" I disagree completely. I rarely get any lag on max settings -- and my comp is not top-of-the-line nor am I OCing anything (though, I will be as soon as I get a decent cooling solution set up!).

Working on that in another thread called SWTOR: The Bad Girlfriend I can't Break up with! EA / Bioware need to optimize this game.

Do yourself a favor and test a optimized game and see if your getting good FPS on that game.
