Yea video cards, to run those games on ultra you would need at minimum dual 560m sli but comfortably with 580m sli or 6990m crossfire. CPU is fine.

You can't really change the video card of the M18x when you bought it right? Correct me if I'm wrong Thanks for the fast reply.

You can order new cards from them if you'd like and the technician will do the swap over.

Technician from Dell you mean?

You should be able to upgrade your cards via buying them from Dell and having a Dell Technician (or yourself) install them. I would imagine Dell will charge ALOT for , say, a single 580m.

You may find that the price is cheaper via Ebay or the like - example

I am not sure how much Dell would charge you for the same.....

All right thanks for the help guys. I'd canvas more about the video cards and take a look at their prices. Thanks you guys for the help!

Actually I can play ALL new games on high settings. And my specs are in my sig.

Is Nvidia GTX 460M better than GTX 560M (NON SLI)? I'm not so sure about that...

No its not. I was just letting you know how my systems run. However having a SSD has improved my game play. Even still the 460m pulls its weight in rendering. I havent had any issues. So with a 560m I think you will be more than fine.

SSD won't really help on games like Bf3 at any settings, a 560m won't play bf3 at ultra settings, maybe high settings at a lower framerate with some settings dialed down.

ultra settings for bf3 would be pushing even a gtx 580 on a desktop.
