    Just tried the demo from steam. It ran at an average of 40fps and rarely dips below 30fps on medium shadow and high graphic settings. This game is surprisingly good... all this on my m11x r2 i5

    I took a look, but not on the M11 yet. From my point of view, it's surprisingly good just because of how strangely satisfying the gameplay is. I expected an FPS and it is that, but you kind of feel like you're playing a First Person Diablo or Warcraft with some of the area of effect stuff going on, as well as your need to invoke 'special' actions while playing.

    My video of this is at First impressions - Space Marine JetPack (demo) - YouTube

    47 max lowest drop to 24. Passive cooling may have affected m11xr2 i5
