Battlefield 3 BETA on the Alienware M14x

i7 2630QM, 4Go de RAM, HDD 750Go, Bluetooth
nVidia GT 555m 1,5Go

The Graphic card is overclocked using MSI Afterburner and running nVidia 285.38 drivers.
Overclock values :
Core clock : 770MHz
Shader clock : 1540MHz

Game is set on HIGH settings, resolution is 1600x900.

PS : This video IS NOT about how I play Battlefield, it's about how it runs on this laptop.
I think it is important to clear this point since some people did not get this on my Crysis 2 video

@ShadowFilms234 Yes you would. MAYBE two or three fps less

Hello, I'm concerned, will installing MSI afterburner void warranty??

[SuperOctet]

@slimjimz I don't think so.

Great video! Personally I dont mind your playing skills...mine are about par to what you displayed in the video. ;P

Anyways, I will be receiving my M14x in the mail tomorrow. Same specs but with 6Gb of 1600 MHz RAM. Quick overclocking question for you:

With the over clock values set to 770 core & 1540 shaders, what temperature are you operating at and would this be a set and forget solution or should it be tuned down when not gaming?

[SuperOctet]

@Siri325 I do not record my temps, sorry. As long as it's not "shit I just cooked my hand on my computer", it's ok for me. That said, with overclock, it's hardly even hot.

You can set and forget the overclock, I think, because Optimus automatically downclocks the graphic card when it's not fully used.

That said, I turn off the OC every time I stop playing.

@Xiaojiangshi78 i had the same problem. go to nvidia's website and download the latest dirvers, that should fix it.

[SuperOctet]

@mttogo No, it hasn't. It improved in-game performance, that's it.
