    i'm sure someone already posted about dragon age origins gameplay on m11x but i just can't seem to find the post. i bought DAO when i still had my 13" studio xps and it was unplayable even at lowest settings so i decided to try installing it again on my R2. at first, it was slow. i checked the whitelist and DAO automatically added it's .exe in the whitelist. it was slow....very slow. i alt tabbed and checked in my taskbar if nvidia is running and it says it's running an activity and it's DAO. i was confused abit cuz it was horribly slow and THEN i noticed my MSI Afterburner's OSD that GPU usage was 0% so i suspected that DAO added the wrong .exe in the whitelist...and yeah i suspected right.

    for those who are having the same problem, add daorigins.exe from bin_ship directory of your Dragon Age directory in your whitelist. and just ignore whatever DAO automatically added in your whitelist.

    im running DAO now in it's highest setting and my m11xR2 is not even breaking a sweat. enjoy :)
