Greetings everyone, I'm having a lot of issues with the mentioned laptop. Despite being supposedly, a gaming laptop, the graphics card is running VERY poorly. I can't even run LoL decently at medium settings, and am currently at a loss to what to do. Here's what I've tried so far:
-It's been acting like this since day 0 from a clean install
-Already uninstalled and reinstalled all drivers, several times, 4 clean installs (Win7 Ultimate x64) and following the driver order specified on this thread:

And also on this one:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/how-to-clean-windows-7-install-driver-install-order-guide-for-alienware-systems.556721/
-Uninstalled and reinstalled Alien OSD, it claims "your graphics solution is automatically configured for optimal performance
-Tried forcing system to use NVidia card by disabling integrated graphics, screen goes black and nothing else
-Benchmarks give me real low grades, MSI Kombustor reports using the dedicated graphics card, but doesn't get past 7 fps on most tests.
-Already opened laptop, I see no excessive amount of dust, and nothing blocking the fans. Checked RAM as well, seems to be working fine.
-Tried with both the drivers provided by Intel and NVidia and the ones provided by Dell; neither is showing any difference in performance
-Tested graphics card and fan with both boot-up test tools and alien autopsy diagnostic tool, extended test (100 minutes long) and graphics card is supposedly working fine.
Does anyone know what could possibly be causing this? I am at a loss at what to do
