    Quick question, I'm buying RIGHT NOW, any help on which one I could get? Or if you could prefer some others. Could you also tell me if Battlefield 2 runs good on the R1? Thanks!

    Don't you mean Crysis with it being the newer game? Shouldn't have any problems running.

    No, I mean the old one. Crysis 1, not Warhead or Crysis 2. I heard Crysis 1 had more of a performance punch then Crysis 2.

    You should already know how well it runs then, seeing as you benched it with those clocks in your sig.

    That was with that ludicrous OC, and back then I ran it in DX9 1-60FPS estimate.

    So? Subtract the 7 FPS from the ludicrous OC and you got your answer. Care to share the number with the ludicrous OC BTW?

    Yes yes, I know what type of FPS I will be expecting in Crysis, but which game is better? BF2 (Not bad company) Complete edition or Crysis? I will never do that OC unless I get a new PC, then I will OC the plastic out of this laptop! Anyways, you pay for the thermal paste if you want OC on video :p

    Not what you said here:

    You already did it.


    BTW, I like BF2, lots of good mods to extend the game, still has a decent multiplayer community and it soesn't look like you played it.

    I was mean't to say I won't OC the GPU again. Hmmm, its still really hard to deside which one to get. Saw a gameplay video of BF2, didn't look so great. What is the performance/FPS on that game on full GFX/high graphics?

    Sure. BF2 is from 2005, 6 years old now. It looks appropriate for it's age and plays well enough on a 1.6Ghz Core 2 Duo.

    And yet you still managed to risk your R1 and house overclocking it?

    BF2 Run superbly on my M11x R1. OC on the processor and GPU (but the GPU is not by a lot and i've even tested without the OC and it works spot on).
