    Any one play RAGE or Crysis 2 with the M11x? If so what's the performance?

    Many thanks :)

    First off, what revision M11x do you have?

    On my R2, Crysis 2 runs really well. I was surprised by how well it ran actually. On the lowest settings and native res I'm pretty much always 35fps+ and it still looks great. I'd say that the R1 would be pretty close if overclocked and pinmodded and the R3 would be much better.

    Sorry but I haven't played RAGE. I'm sure there is a thread floating about around here about its performance...

    Sorry would be the R3 with i7 and 4GB of memory. I had some backpay and was considering buying one as on the road a lot with work. Cheers :)

    Crysis 2 runs surprisingly well (and looks stellar) on the R2. On the second highest graphical level (minus shadows, which I left at the lowest), it's still 30+ FPS almost the whole time. Gameplay feels tight and smooth. Highly recommend it.

    R2 actually runs medium well, so the R3 could probably go High or (maybe) Max.
