    hey, guys

    I've been using my m11xr3 for about 20 days. And i feel strange that i saw couple videos about rift on r2 or r3, average like 30 fps, however when i played it's like about 20. Everything is the preset.

    how could it be?

    overclock your computer in the bios at startup?

    I am not sure if the r3 needs throttlestop but might.

    My only suggestions.

    I don't remember wich setting cause my account is disabled now , but there was one option ( maybe ambiant occlusion or something ) that bumped my FPS for like 10-15 in one tick !

    Just try 'em all , you should be able to get at least 45-50 FPS for Rift without any problem as i was able to play it at more than 30Fps with my R1 wich is way less powerfull than yours.

    thx, man. tried it and got about 5 or 6 more fps. however, r3 should do way more than that, right? RIft is not a game which requires very high configuration, right?

    Do I really need OC it?

    i OC it just for the heck of it... well just the GPU, seems to give a fair boost in performance FPS wise...
