    Hey guys,

    I recorded a video on BF3 Beta differentiating the difference on our 11inch laptop between medium, high and ultra when it came to FPS.

    The video can be found here: Battlefield 3: FPS Comparison between Ultra, High, and Medium - M11x R3 - YouTube

    It is all set to shadows at low because even at low its beautiful shadows and shadows impacts our machines the most. Enjoy :)

    Comment, rate, subscribe :p

    I had an R2 and it played alpha well :( Hopefully someone does the same for R2s.

    I noticed that on my desktop machine many of the settings didn't actually update until I restarted the game.

    I have installed Beta on both my Xbox 360 and my M11x R3 and I by far prefer the gameplay on my little Alien.

    Took it to work today and showed the blokes I work with, they were all very impressed with the tiny beast's power.......I am sooooo happy I bought it

    Will deffo be buying the BF3 full version for PC as it can't capture the same sensation on a console

    hey guys can you please help me tweak my system so it can run it like you are? I have the r2 and i have the new beta drivers for the game, but for some reason it starts up fast at first then lags a WHOLE TON after like the first minute or two, like to the point where i can't even move straight ingame. Any help?

    This might be because your computer is overheating.

    Props to you DeeVu! Downloading it right now and good to know it's going to run quite nicely. My desktop is just no longer up to the task...

    You have to be spawned, then press Esc, then go to the Video tab.
