Like Boris said, you should be able to max it out. The only thing you might have to set lower is anti-aliasing, but it should be fine.

welcome to the forums LoLskilled87!
if it makes any difference, my 9400M can run the game at a solid 60 FPS at native resolution on high settings, but no AA (under boot camp; mac css isnt available yet)

i think you should be able to max it out. although i did notice that compared to windows 7 i am getting a little lower frames. but of course ive only been able to play portal on mac so idk how the other games will perform.
