    Hey,

    Just noticed 3D vision was enabled on machine and hit disable from the start menu, it could just be in my head but performance seems a little better, no tests or anything run, just a gut feeling?

    What you guys think ? Maybe, i dunno ?!

    It's normal for an application to drop down FPS if 3D is enabled, it's called stereoscopic as in 2 screens instead of 1. This means it renders twice the resolution it usually does.

    However, the M11x is not 3D capable, and so it shouldn't make any difference.
