    I couldn't even get GTA 4 to run normally on with optimus as its a rather poorly coded game, but I've heard that mod takes some power to run. Somebody with the same graphics card as me gets around 16fps( read that here), so I doubt the m14x will do a good job with it. your prob better off just running it without the mod. ;)

    I'm at work so can't confirm my settings but I've got the game running lovely on my 1.5 with icehancer (after a bit of tweaking plus I dropped my screen res and this made the game run fine).

    The game looks gorgeous too with this mod - although my fans go into overtime when its running and resemble the noise of a jet engine! lol

    Not tried it with this mod but the game runs fine on my m14 with settings on high. I get ~40fps average with a 1.5GB GT555 @ 1600x900
