    Hi all - finally got my replacement Blade 14 today and it looks great! No busted pixels, and everything seems to be in working order.

    That said, I'm just trying to benchmark my computer's performance as I'm re-entering the world of PC gaming after a long time in console limbo :D I fired up The Witcher 2 so I can carry my saves across into the Witcher 3, and - perhaps obviously enough - "Ultra" settings projecting out to an external monitor (1080p) knocked my computer on its . After some tweaks (turning off ubersampling and downgrading to 900p) I'm running at a fairly constant 25-30 fps with slow-down in intense cutscenes.

    This seems pretty OK to me, but for any others playing the Witcher, am I running where you'd expect? Also, my computer's running extremely hot, and the fans aren't going to ludicrous speed while in game. Does this also sound right? Maybe they're just hard to hear, but it doesn't seem like the computer's firing those streams of hot air I expected up past the monitor.

    Thanks!
