    Syndicate: Works amazing on the little monster :D . Runs on high at native resolution. Don't think I've seen any slow-downs yet!

    The Darkness 2: I play on High everything minus shadows which go on medium. There was only one part where the game slowed down but other than that 40-min and 60-average!

    3DSMax : Now for the bad part. Because the M11x has an ULV and 1.6gHZ processor,this program runs horribly. Maybe it's because I only used on for around 5 minutes (and trial) ,but the M11X can NOT handle it.

    Grand Theft Auto IV : Pretty much needs the new beta drivers to run smooth on my settings. I play on all high minus shadow which goes on medium. Runs very nice around 26-60FPS.

    Maya 2012 and 2011 runs okay, I use it for basic blocking and as a render farm, a fully rigged character moves HORRIBLY, but over all, I wasn't expecting big things.
    I got it for quick on-the-go kinda stuff... Not the heavy lifting.

    My two-cents.
