Your download speed does not have much to do with the actual performance you'll get on your computer. It just means your internet speed is pretty good for it to be downloading at 2500kb/s. Seeing as how your graphics card is integrated, hence the "M" at the end of your graphics card. You'll get only around 30-40 on low-medium settings while having it drop to 25-30 on more intense moments (explosions, a lot of particles on screen, etc.)
