@jcontreras48 I haven't had any heat issues with the laptop. Even after 8+ hours of straight SWTOR (with the lid closed playing via HDMI) the heat coming from the laptop is very warm but not hot. Certainly nothing I would consider uncomfortable. Under normal use when the Nvidia chip is not running it stays fairly cool for hours. The fan kicks into high gear when playing games and it seems to do a good job of cooling. I'm definitely impressed with the heat management of the M11x.
Hi Tommy can you show gameplay of Battlefield3 (camera footage) and show how many frames u get with different settings? And please dont overclock I want to know frame rates with stock
Thanks for video. I have dual core 2.4 ghz 4 gigs ram (32 bit os ) gtx560ti on my old dell xps710. Getting bout same results as you. On high solo questing I get 30 fps but in pvp and imperial fleet 15 to 20. Low settings in city pretty bad too.
@bmdshred77 Low settings for me have been fine pretty much everywhere. The only place that gets noticable lag is on capital ships/stations when its fully populated. I know they are working through some high res texture issues (I'm not sure if they are enabled at the moment) and when they get that fixed I'm hoping they will also add some additional optimizations for better performance. Overall, graphics for me, has not affected gameplay.
Did you alter anything in the Nvidia control panel? I have the EXACT same setup and am getting from 9 to 18 fps on low settings? I don't understand whats going on
@TrevorC No it's on default settings. I didn't touch anything in there. Under "Manage 3D Settings" its Auto-Select with all default values. Not sure why you would get such low framerates. That seems odd. I don't even use the Nvidia chip when I'm playing on laptop only (I use the HD3000) and it runs fine with Low settings. The only time I ever get noticable lag is when I'm on a capital ship/station and its a full server.
Yeah that's exactly what I wanted to see, I was gonna get alienware but for the price I would pay I could get a desktop, I'm just gonna go with the hp dv6 quad edition
really 20fps is low? some people are nothing but spoiled children.

@EvilDeskLamp 6FPS sucks.. Sorry... I've never been that low.. Hope the recent effort to optimize the graphics is helping out..

Very cool! I just may save up for a m11x r3 i7 version for my future vacation trips. :)

would do better with the i7 and the 2gb 540m
though the 1gb shud be fine...idealy the m11x r3 should max out even with the i5 )prefer i7)
on the 1366x768 screen or that resolution on the bigger monitor if u prefer.

@duminicanboy NP... Some people have been asking for this so I figured I'd try to show how it looks on different settings...
