    yeah, well I already bought the laptop, but will the M11x run crysis 2 like a champ, or would I set fire to the laptop in the process? I'm just curious how well (or disastrous) Crysis 2 will run on the M11x...

    I think and from what ive read it should, hopefully, be better optimized. They are making it cross platform so it will run at lower settings on consoles. GTA4 argument noted!

    Like sagman said, Crysis 2 is supposedly better optimised (maybe not on the level of COD MW & MW2, but better optimised than GTA IV or the original Crysis.

    So maybe a level above what you're playing Crysis now (and I'd use that as a theoretical maximum gain).

    i've heard that crysis 2 may have lower system requirements than crysis and crysis warhead. although i got to say i am impressed with crysis because it is one of the only fps games i have played that is completely playable at 25 fps. with that said higher fps is better! lol
