Don't really know how to descbribe it more detailed...
The frames drop as the game progresses, and i have to run it on lowest settings possible I even set all the settings in ccc to lowest, and still the frames drop below 20 in a 1v1 game.

I tried reinstalling multiple times, I even formatted and reinstalled windows.
Making a video out of the issue won't really help, I was hoping i could get some feedback from people playing sc2 on gx660, gx640 or gx740.
Maybe, the gx660 i5-480m version is just unable to handle a game such as starcraft 2, which leads me to think that calling it the gaming version isn't the fairest thing to do.
P.S.
It's not my internet connection either, used the pingtest (http://www.pingtest.net/) scored an A in their test.

Do you use any AV software?
Have you tried to clear current VGA drivers in "Safe Mode" with >>Driver Sweeper<<
then to install VGA drivers from MSI web for your notebook: http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GX660.html#/?div=Driver&os=All
and to retest?
Also have you tried it without Turbo? If yes does the issue persist
It would help to see what's your exact issue.
It's run just fine as you can see:

I uninstalled the drivers in safemode, when i realised it didn't help I formated the system.
The video you're posting is a video of a gx660 VEGA the native resolution of the screen is 1280/720 so i think it might boost the quality of the game.
After the format i installed the sc2 with fresh drivers and the fps boost was almost hard to notice, as i said there were no AV or any other software that could lower the performance.

I'm running the game on lowest settings with the resolution set to 1920/1080 with everything set to performance/low in the ccc.
As far as I can see from the video he's running the game on ultra settings.
P.S.
I start the 1v1s with 120-130 fps but as the game progresses the frames drop below 40 and stay there and in some cases drop below 20.

What's your memory usage whilst the game is hammering the FPS down? It sounds like your machine is running out of memory as the game progresses. A bug in the game, perhaps? Since all your other scores are normal, as Svet mentioned.

What do you mean by MSI VGA drivers ?
First time I installed the ones i received with the notebook, but after formatting my system I downloaded them straight from the AMD site multiple times.

I have the same issue with my GX 660.
I tried everything you guys suggested in this thread.
The problem seems to be limited to Starcraft 2, because games with better graphics run much better. I hope it is a driver problem and it will bee fixed soon.
