    Hello everyone, I'm looking for first hand experience on how well some games run on the R3 and the settings you all use. I've sourced Crysis 2, Mass Effect, Skyrim and Battlefield 3 ready for the arrival of my R3 i5, hopefully tomorrow.

    I hear Skyrim runs very well so was wandering about the others really.

    Tom.

    Youtube of Skyrim on M11x R3

    For myself Skyrim at native res and settings at High getting 26 to 30+ fps at start with Anisotropic filtering at 2 samples and Antialiasing at 2 samples. ;)

    haven't tried battlefied, not a fan of the series, but crysis 1 runs fine at highish settings and skyrim runs perfectly fine with distances at max wit everything else but antialising and antistrophic at 2 or 4x... mass effect runs at max settings... unreal engine is as solid and optimized as a wheel by now... but yea everything will run fine pretty much, and if not at max still look hawt.

    Just played Crysis 2 on my M11x R3.

    On 'high' settings, it runs really smoothly, not choppy except in heavy scenes and even then it's not that noticeable, maintained about 40+ fps.

    Oh, I should add that the graphic card is overclocked to 797 MHz with Afterburner.
