    Maybe the MaLDo mod was not properly installed. You have to start off with the earliest release ( MaLDo_OnTheFly_Crysis3_v1.rar) because the updates that came later on were missing some file(s) needed for it to work. The updates are dependent on pre-existing files.

    strange stuff, the mod is installed correctly, but then again, as long as it does what it's supposed to, fine with me ;-)

    I just ran crysis 3 on my M18 for the fist time, the performance seems incredible. I don't know the FPS but I don't think I ever dropped below 30 fps.
    I'll have to install crysis 2 for the heck of it as well to see what is going on.

    These machines chew through games. I'm just uploading a Crysis 3 gameplay video now running 70-100 fps while also recorded with Shadowplay at 1080p 60fps. Amazing stuff.
    The Maldo Mod helped alot to keep the frames consistently above 60.

    Decided to see how the Liquid Ultra fared in gaming... played through the last chapter of Crysis 3 with the CPU pegged at 4.5GHz and never saw more than about 86°C.
