I recently purchased the Asus G53SW-A1 understanding that it would be able to play the latest games on high settings. But I'm having trouble running this machine on medium settings on Rift... I average anywhere between 20-30 fps, it seems to be similar on ultra settings. I read that people who have this machine are running 60 fps on ultra settings, I can't seem to figure out what the issue is. Help would be very much appreciated.

These are all the specs. I know some of them are not needed, but I'm not very knowledgeable about computers, so I'll link everything.

Here are my specs: 15.6-inch 1080p (1920x1080) glossy panel with LED backlighting

Intel "Sandy Bridge" Core i7-2630QM quad-core processor (2.0GHz~2.9GHz Turbo Boost, 6MB cache, 45W TDP)

Intel HM65 chipset

Nvidia GeForce GTX 460M graphics w/ 1.5GB GDDR5 dedicated memory

8GB DDR3-1333 dual-channel RAM (2x 4GB, supports up to 16GB - 4x 4GB)

750GB 7200RPM Seagate hard drive (ST975042AS)

Atheros AR9002WB-1N wireless network adapter

Integrated Bluetooth wireless

DVD burner (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT34N)

8-cell li-ion battery (14.4V, 5200mAh, 74Wh)

1x USB 3.0 port

Backlit chiclet keyboard

Weight: 8.1 lbs.

Dimensions: 15.5 x 11.75 x 2.13 inches

Thank you for the reply, but this is not the problem. I've had my computer on "high performance" while gaming, yet I'm still getting low fps.
