I have an Alienware x51 (the i5 one http://m.dell.com/mt/www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-x51-r2...) and I have seen the lower tier one (same as the one I have except it has an i3 and 6 GB of ram instead of 8) run Titanfall on high settings with high FPS while recording (see this here: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f39lg20C6js). Yet my x51 is struggling to run it even on low settings. I can run games such as Diablo 3 laglessly although it's not as graphic intensive as Titanfall. My BenQ monitor is VGA and I used an adapter to connect it with my computer since the computer is DVI. Could this have something to do with it? This is my first time posting on here, and whenever I search for tech questions I always get this website, so I trust it. Sorry about weird mobile links.

Did you connect your monitor cable to motherboard or graphics card? If to motherboard then connect it to graphics card, also GTX-645 is not so good GPU but it should be enough to play most of the games.

Just for note: If you want high end gaming PC with reasonable price you have to never buy assembled PC's

Alienwares are always overpriced and usually contain a nice sized bottleneck,in this case its your GTX 645.
Id expect a card like that in a high-end Walmart PC not an alienware..but anyway.

Could you elaborate some on this? Whats your average FPS while playing?

And as Ahmadjon said,make sure your monitor is going into the graphics card DVI port and not on your motherboard.
