Minimum - medium should give you playable framerates. But, that GPU is far from ideal for gaming.

You can't really judge the smoothness through a video. Look in the description of the vid, he's actually getting very low framerates. In a video, it may look smooth, but if you were actually to game with those framerates, making sharp turns and whatnot, it would be very jerky.

If it runs Crysis at 35 FPS at the lowest settings you are fine. I ran Crysis 1 and Warhead at those framerates and I was able to finish both on the maximum difficulty.

The Witcher 2 is different. That game eats hardware for lunch. For perspective at 1080p I get like low thirties and high twenties on all settings max besides ubersampling.

That is probably not the most demanding part of the game, it seems to run acceptable at that spot, but I'd bet it's gonna dip somewhere else. If you are serious about gaming on a laptop I'd suggest at least a GTX 460M, GTX 560M, or any HD 58xxM or HD 68xxM with GDDR5 memory. That is still only going to deliver at a GTS 450 / HD 5750 level.
