For some reason, the card goes to shit when playing SC2.

About 1-2 FPS in main menu, and around 10 in game.

The GT 130M should be more than enough to run this, even on ultra settings. I can play other games like Crysis, Modern warfare 2, etc. fine.

Monitoring the temperature, my CPU does not go above 72~ degrees, and card peaks at 65~

Anyone else having this problem??

Yeah it does say gfx card unrecognized. on my desktop i have a 9800 GT overclocked, and it plays everything on ultra at 40+ fps. The Gt 130M should be comparable, not a disparity of 30 FPS.

Drivers are up to date

GT 130M is a die shrink and higher clocked 9600M GT so it should be fine at medium-high (though I highly doubt you can run Crysis at enthusiast). You could try to download drivers from Nvidia's site.

It's definitely drivers. Although i still think it's pointless, because with that 9500gt equivalent i get the feeling you're going to have some trouble with performance (unless you use a lower-than-native resolution, like 1280x1024) anyway, especially on a 1920x1200 display... I just don't understand why people want to play SC2 on a laptop.

And also it's not really a comparison with a desktop 9800gt AT ALL... it's got like 15 watts of power available to it, so it's just not going to perform as it's desktop counterpart.
