I am not sure what you investigated, if it was just your graphics card, motherboard or processor... or all three... I recently did a graphics card upgrade after researching and what I learned was that because my motherboard and processor couldn't handled it, it killed the power in the graphics card.. so my research into the card was a moot point :/
Also all games are not created equal. By which I mean if you are playing something like Bejeweled 1 or 2 on medium settings you are indeed playing games like your laptop specs said you can.
However - if you mean you are playing a first person shooter with settings on medium and the box did not say it could play a first person shooter.. maybe that is because it can't.
I learned this the hard way. I bought an xps 410 that claimed to have graphics "power" for gaming and high end photo editing and graphics work. Truth be told my graphics card was a 256 MB piece of garbage and could barely handle bejeweled 2 on medium settings.
Not only did I spend $1800 on this top of the line "gaming, graphics" machine... I have had to spend hundreds of dollars to get it to even be a somewhat decent "some" gaming machine.
Hopefully not too late to return it?
**edit - I somehow missed where you listed what laptop you had... sorry.... Your processor and such sound great... but I have read some reviews that say it has overheating issues...
