Yea i know, still should be able to play Starcraft II & upcoming Civ5 and other new games to a high standard right.

Also hope it will transcode HD to my PS3 but thats not so important.

I'm not up with what to expect from Laptop on Vantage to be honest with you. When we get one of these on test (should be early next week) I'll benchmark it here to compare. In the meantime, can you please go into the nVidia Control Panel and check that the "sli" is enabled?
