Bad performance on G74SX

Hi everyone!

So I've read alot of posts about the performance on the G74SX and I think that I'm not getting the same performance as others. For example I've read people saying they play games like skyrim and BF3 on high/ultra with no problems and I've seen clips on youtube showing it. The thing is... in campaing on BF3 for example on low settings my fps is 35-50 and on high settings my fps is 20-30 and I don't know what to do about it.
I'm running BF3 on 1920x1080 resolution. Do I maybe need to lower that?

I'm running throttle stop and I have performance mode on and I have the latest drivers and everything... I really don't know what the problem is.

If anyone have any suggestions or fixes I would be very thankful.

I have a ASUS G74SX-TZ277V that I bought in Sweden but the computer is from Norway

The specs:
Intel Core i7 2670QM / 2.2 Ghz
8GB of RAM memory
Nvidia GTX560M 3GB

Could the problem be that I only have 8GB of ram? Because most people have the 12 or 16 GB versions of the G74SX.

I'm tryed to use the "ASUS GPU Tweak" (url: http://event.asus.com/vga/2012/gpu_tweak/ )instead of the MSI Afterburner. But I can't launch this utility. It's crashing every time I'm trying to start it. I downloaded "ASUS GPU Tweak v2.0.83" from official download source: http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?p=9&m=GPU+Tweak&hashedid=n%2fa ... choosed Win 7 64bit, unzip, launch setup, reboot my notebook... and nothing at startup, nothing when trying to launch it from desctop icon.

PS
I installed the GPU Tweak, and now I can't uninstall it from my system

A useful, powerful and free tool is IObit Uninstaller: http://www.iobit.com/advanceduninstaller.html

It also search in registry for uninstalled program prints.

Thank you guys, but I own a couple of good utilities, but not any of them can't uninstall this software from my laptop. It's strange, but again ASUS do not warn users on the official ASUS GPU Tweak page that this utility is incompatible with notebooks.

Why?

I don't need to search over forums to find that GPU Tweak is not compatible with my system. I need to know that important information directly from the official GPU Tweak page before download and install it.
