Games running slow now, video card issue?
Hello!

Have a relatively new alienware laptop, and up until a week ago ran every game at top graphic settings like a dream.


Now it runs even older games like world of warcraft at around 4 frames per second with barely anything going on.

The laptop was supposed to come with a 1g geforce card, 260x or something and i never really checked the system info thing windows has until now. If i bring it up it shows my video card as a Geforce 9400m with 256mb....

Is it possible some driver swap happened and now its bugging out? Or did the *******s give me a garbage.Im far to stupid to open up the computer and know what im looking for.... Calling dell and sitting on hold all day drives me nuts so any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
