A 550m is comparable to a Geforce 9600GT, Which means it should run all steam games good, however Metro 2033 Crysis 2 and BF3 might have some isues running good.

yes a 560m or even better a 580m will do... there are laptops with 580m in SLI also.

Keep ypur expectations in check and a 560m can run Crysis 2 and MEtro 2033.

That means dont expect to max them at 1080p. So far, I find Witcher 2 to be the game that brings me the most hassle.
