I have just bought a new laptop

HP Envy 15 with 1.6Ghz Core i7, 4GB RAM and a ati 4830 mob radeon with 1GB dedicated.

I installed Company of Heroes last night and it runs really stuttery even when i turn the graphics and model detail right down, and also turn the performance settings win win7 to high performance.

I would of thought these specs would be easily high enough for this? Even the diagnostics at the start of the game said my computer exceeds recommended.

I have already updated my GPU drivers (ATI Catalyst).

Does anyone know what could be the problem??

Thanks


p.s. here is my dxdiag for specs and such
