For those talking about performance:
One can't really expect to run new gen games perfectly with lower than 3.6ghz with cards less than 780Ms. Especially thin laptops with limited air flow. Each new card comes with new temp thresholds. I remember I had a 670M and it ran hot as hellfire on RE6 while 780Ms and above run the same game way cooler. So it's not really the game's fault. Nvidia focuses on the newer cards and eventually new drivers won't be compatible with old cards like they will with the new ones. When console devs make games, they make them for the newer systems and stop developing for the old ones. So you won't be able to get the same optimizations for old tech like you will with the new if the old tech isn't a powerhouse. If they did, there would be no purpose for new hardware.
For gaming, contrary to popular belief, bulky lappies are better for gaming machines because they have better airflow. Thin lappies with intergrated parts are just terrible or will quickly become terrible. One can't expect a real portable laptop to be good at gaming. And it's gonna get even worse for the portable laptop users considering nvidia blocking overclocking for all laptops instead of just the thin ones.

All this so called "next gen" thing is about consoles, not pc. What kind of "next gen game" is Resident Evil Revelations 2 with dx9-like graphics? There is a big difference between game developed for console and pc, and lazy port, am i right?
Maybe for the content that wasn't added. But I can't say that for performance because I'm not getting the same issues that ppl say that they get performance wise. Ppl also seem to say they have the same issues for every steam game that comes out now but I never do. So that's why that conclusion was made.
