6490m gaming benchmarks

would I need the highend MBP 15" to play games like blackops and SC2 on an external monitor (1920x1080)?

or would the 6490m do well enough...

the 6490m will not handle 1920x1080 while gaming. Tested this on HL2 and LFD2 and achieved only 15-22fps on medium settings, dropping it back to my normal 1440x900 @ high settings it jumped back too 70-90fps range.

Did you play with both monitors on, or did you somehow manage to turn off the MBP monitor thus allocating all the GPU to the external?
