New 15" MBP - Disappointing performance in Wow

Just purchased the new 15" MBP with the Radeon 6750 (1 gig) and the quadcore i7.

Maybe my expectations were too high, but I'm "only" getting 40 fps in Cata with my video settings at "high". With the settings on Ultra I am getting less than 30 fps. This is after forcing the ATI card to the on position in the control panel.

I know I could turn the water off and do a few other tweaks, but honestly I didn't expect to have to do this.

Anyone else experience disappointing performance with the new MBP's in Wow?

This is interesting. Hard to believe the new model performs slower than last years model?

Yes, this is in OSX, not bootcamp. Since Wow is really the only game I play, it doesn't make sense to run bootcamp as all of my other tools are OSX based.

As for the 6750 being a "low to medium" level GPU, I hardly see it being anything even close to "low level".

Nevertheless, the performance has been a scad bit disappointing, but still much better than my 13" MBP.
