    Do you guys think that you could run brink on the m11xr1 without dropping below 30 fps?

    well i played thru the first mission in the campaign @ native rez, lowest settings V-Sync on. id say FPS were in the avg. of 30. mostly in the 20-40 range. i did see dips into the high teens here and there but not often. i normally dont like anything under 40FPS in FPS games but i would consider this game playable in the campaign. i cant say for the online multiplayer. that tends to have a bit more load on the CPU in other games. but with that in mind it seems the GFX is the bottleneck here, as i never saw 100% CPU usage. more around 80% during game play. keep in mind i am OCed, specs in sig.

    R2 i7 gets average 60 FPS with these settings in Brick

    Hope that gives a idea or reference if you havent seen it already.

    (if the game doesn't support 4-core utilization then its safe to assume similar frame rates for R1)
    ^^not sure though

    but I think my guess based on R2 performance - 30 frames per second with same settings
