I also attributed the fps drops to overheating. My fans were hardly kicking in until my temperature got be 80. I was able to fix it by following this guide http://forum.techinf...an-control.html (it's for alienware laptops but it may work for others as well) to adjust my fan speeds and now i'm getting a much more steady fps around 90-100, thankyou guys for your help />

I finally got it working! For the most part at least. I'm running on fps mostly between 70-110 occasionaly dropping to the 20s and rising to around 150. I have all the settings on the ultra preset apart from cinematic depth of field, ubersampling, and I have vertical sync off. I'm not sure how it happened but in the Alienware control panel I was set on power management mode which causes my computer to limit cpu use. My FPS aren't stable but the game is playable with great graphics

Haha considering the size I'm surprised it can't fit an entire desktop motherboard in it. I probably would have been better off buying a desktop or building one myself but then I figured I'd have to buy a laptop anyway so just went ahead with it, not that I regret it, it's served me pretty well until now, and even then I think it's something I'm doing wrong. Anyway, Thankyou

Thanks vinterberg! Going in windowed mode then looking at it worked, though my cpu usage is still really low (around 10%)
Other games have been running perfect though none of them are as demanding as The Witcher 2.
I have been able to get it a little better by setting the pre-rendered frames to 1 in the nvidia control panel. I'm able to somewhat run it on low, still getting thse fps drops though. It may be a setting somewhere on my computer that's not allowing the game to use all processing power of my computer...or maybe my computers not as great as I thought it was. I like to hope it's the former />

Yes, I have it set to use both of them
I'm really not sure what it is, like I said my cpu usage percent is literally at 0 when running the game but I'm not sure if that's normal or not. Perhaps it's a hardware issue with my computer, I did a few checkup scans and everything was normal, hmmm
