    Can you M14x R2 owners tell me how Rift and Tera online play on the unit? at native 900p and 1080p (if also playing on an external monitor), please also let me know your settings. I think i bit off a bit more than i could chew with my m18x, so I'm thinking about downgrading a bit and since these are the only 2 games I really play on a consistent basis, I want to make sure they run well.

    Thanks!

    I don't play Rift, however I do play TERA. I play it on max settings + 900p native resolution, which I get 30-55 FPS. When playing with a party of 5 and fighting a lot of mobs, my FPS drops to 15-18 FPS. It doesn't happen throughout the dungeons, but with some bosses, which includes mobs, it does occur. Even with the FPS drop, it doesn't affect my gameplay and it only happens briefly. My main character is lvl 47 and gotten as far as the SA dungeon.

    Let me know if you have any other questions,

    xGeorgexBp is right , you might face some fps drop , I can't really tell you about these 2 games gameplay performance , I've played Tera/Guildwar2/Secret World beta those games are running fine , just major skills effect spamming by other players might occur fps drop. This machine can play BF3 in ultra setting(not all ultra) with 25-30fps , I think is good enough.

    Just saying~ after I got m14x , my m18x is filled with dust. Good luck mate!
