Hi all,

just curious if there is an easy explanation for this (i'm bad at hardware)

I have a laptop connected to second monitor via an HDMI cable.
When I start wow fullscreen on the laptop screen, (1366x900 i believe) everything is fine, I get Fps of 100+, however when i start wow fullscreen on the second monitor (HANS-G, 21inch 1680x1050) my FPS drops heavily (down to ~30ish)

This is even more visible in areas with alot of water effects (say, the swamp/lake area in durotar for example) where the display drops to 18-25fps if I move too much.
and movement stops being smooth.
Dropping the water quality setting helps obviously, but still i'm unimpressed.


Is it that my video card is just bad? I would have thought that a recent 2GB card would be able to handle a single wow better than that, particularly combined with a i7 and a fair amount of ram, but don't know really.

here are the specs of the laptop:
Toshiba 15.6" Satellite L750/0LM Notebook
- Intel Core i7-2670QM 2.20 GHz - 3.10 GHz
- NVIDIA® GeForce GT 525M 2GB
- 8GB DDR3 (1333Mhz)
- 640GB @ 5400rpm
- Windows 7 Professional 64bit

Thanks for your help
Zub
