I'll try that stuff out for source engine stuff.

might fix the issues I get.

it tries to lock up or thinks it's locking up as the game starts, then it's fine, then if you try to change settings or alt tab more than once it'll screw up and you have to close the game from the task manager/

Good to know my future laptop will be able to run this game fine, but seeing only a 1fps drop from low to high settings... isn't there something strange?

What are you people using to overclock? I'm either really stupid or MSI Afterburner doesn't work for some reason. Or both. Cause when I open it up and increase the Core Clock even a little bit and click apply, it just jumps back to what it was (450MHz). What am I doing wrong?

edit the msiafterburner.cfg file to change:

EnableUnofficialOverclocking = 0
to
EnableUnofficialOverclocking = 1

You will have to save the file elsewhere then copy / paste it to the MSI Afterburner folder due to admin permissions.

Think I'm going to just RMA, can't find a solution to my issue. Bummer because I won't have a computer for the start of school..

Turn off reflections and you can run pretty much everything on medium. Also I heard turning off Catalyst AI helps improve performance too.
