    I don't know if anyone else is interested in this game as its still in beta, but if you are youl be glad to know it runs extremely smooth on max settings. Don't know how to check in game fps yet. Figured I would post this for anyone curious : P

    Sadly, I don't have any beta keys although testers do sometimes get some keys to distribute if that occurs if the near future I will pm both you guys.

    Also to remain on topic DOTA 2 offers a 1600x900 resolution since this is native to the mx14x (I guess depending on your order) this would offer the best performance, correct?

    Depends on what you mean by "best performance." Technically, decreasing the resolution would distort the image quality just a little bit and make it look less pretty, but your FPS should be higher.

    Though if you get max settings on 1600x900 and see no noticeable FPS drops, then I see no reason to drop the resolution. Of course, we have to remember, this is a beta. The full game could be more taxing.
