Also not expecting to go over 1.5xIR and I think the most demanding I have is Super Mario Galaxy or MK Wii (seems to run particularly slow compared to other games on my desktop), would it run those at 1xIR?
Not by much, but it is about on par. However, being of the Kepler architecture, it is more power-efficient. Although in the end, it doesn't matter that much.
It will definitely run MK Wii on 1.5xIR, might go beyond that. As for Mario Galaxy, the main bottleneck used to be the CPU due to LLE requirements up till a recent revision of Dolphin; this has now been fixed, but it may be the cause of slow performance for you right now if you're using an older revision. In any case, I don't quite remember how well it performed on my laptop, but I don't think it was too bad - you will very likely be completely fine with 1x IR.
