    Downloaded FIFA10 from EA Games but found that the gameplay is very laggy. Have to adjust the ingame graphics settings to low or even lower resolution to play a decent game.

    Anyway to improve the gameplay on my M11xR1? I have tried many combinations of settings but still doesn't help. Thanks.

    1. Mine is R1 version. Will the drivers work on R1?
    2. Too many things installed in the M11x. Can't reinstall Win 7 unless last resort.
    3. Yes. I always switch to GPU mode via Fn+F6 before loading the games.

    stock GPU settings.
    I am obviously on discrete graphics.
    CPU OC'd to 1.73ghz
    Power settings on high performance

    I also turned off/disabled unnecessary services.
    Ipod service, Itunes stuff, etc.

    Basically I have an M11x R1 with updated drivers, gpu power setting on "high performance" and thats it.
