I got on my brand new M17x tonight to play some WOW with my buddy. I started out at 40 fps and then all of the sudden goes down to 5 fps! I never have seen a computer go that low.

It's likely overheating - are you using it on a desk, or improperly (in your lap)?

Hello, the issue is you are using your intergrated 9400M video card. Just simply press FN + F7 and that will switch to your dedicated GPU(s).
