Problems with lag in Minecraft and Red Faction Armageddon

  I was wondering if anyone could help a little. I just got a brand new Alienware m14x. I will later tell you the specs. I tried running Minecraft on it and it was extremely laggy and had screen tearing when I was looking at the sky and moving around. I tried to run it as an administrator and in windows compatibility mode. I can run portal 2 and brink on full settings normaly on the laptop. I was wondering if you could help me on this problem. I am also not able to play Red Faction Armageddon. I also do not know what is wrong with that. I tried updating my drivers and my directx. but neither will update, saying that they are the newest versions.

Windows 7 Home premium
intel core i7-2630qm CPU @ 2.00GHz 2.00GHz
4 gig ram

Did you download and install the June 2010 directx 9.0c drivers?

  • Supported Operating Systems: Windows 7;  Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1;Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2;Windows Server 2008;Windows Vista;Windows XP Service Pack 2;Windows XP Service Pack 3

 

Download details: DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010)

You will know if it worked because when you re do the Windows performance tab it will say optimizing for Directx 9 aero.
