    I've noticed some wondering if the m14x can play Arma 3, I've had the game for about a week now logging a few hours on it. Here are my system specs:

    Alienware M14x R2
    Intel Core i7-3610QM @ 2.30GHz
    12GB RAM DDR3 800MHz
    Nvidia GT650M 2GB
    1600 x 900 screen
    Thermal Paste Mod

    On average with very high graphics on and post-effects disabled I can average around 28-34fps without noticeable lag. Turn things down to a more reasonable normal graphics setting and it easily run 35-40fps (still with post-effects disabled). The game has been optimized extremely well and was worth the $50 I spent on the deluxe edition.
