Specs of my laptop:
Intel i7 Q720 (mobile) 1.60Ghz (the oldest i7, I think)
ATI Radeon 5730 (mobile)
4 GBs of Ram
Native display: 1366 x 786
Games usually hover around the 60-55 fps mark, but there are very frequent and very annoying dips and jerks in the frame rate that make it drop to about 30 or 40. This happens about 5-6 times a minute, and make games very annoying to play. Is this to be expected? And, is there anything I can do to make the framerate more consistent (perhaps at the expense of visual quality)?
