I wish I would have waited. I bought GTAIV from Games for Windows Live. It was $15 over the weekend. The Games for Windows Live client basically sucks, and I wasn't able to get the stupid thing to download until Monday.
Now its $7.50 on Direct 2 Drive, and I NEVER have problems downloading my games from them.

From what I'm reading you should expect to see 25-30 FPS with Batman AA

He also told me I should expect issues, because the service is technically in Beta. I told him that was a pretty poor excuse, seeing as I can buy from Direct2Drive or Steam without issues. -
DELL has finally given us new drivers

Hey guys, what settings do you have for running borderlands?
-
Hmm, when I try to use Dell's Download Managaer the progress will stat at o percent and later say that it can't find a network connection.
and after breaking my back over it I got it to finally work. -
@ nuke737 .Native Res, high texture and soft of medium and low detail.

This shows what the 335 is capible of when its not being bottlenecked by the cpu: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-335M.24060.0.html
The test was done with the N82JV, frankly it gets me excited for the refresh. -

Just got into the Starcraft 2 beta. What are everyone's settings? I have it on Medium now and it looks pretty good. I also had to download nHancer to run Sin from Steam. Anyone else use this? I only messed with Sin settings and it works now. I want to make sure by just installing the tool it didn't try to "optimize" my other games.
-
you could do high on sc without issue.. I've done ultra also, but I think high is best at native res.
-
Character Zero Notebook Evangelist
Cool thanks.
-
Upon playing another match, I notice highs gave me some minor slowdown when there were a lot of units on screen ~40 units.. dropped to low 20s if that's okay with you.
-
Character Zero Notebook Evangelist
I 'll probably just keep it at medium, it looked pretty good to me.
-
ok does anyone know what FPS we will get if we play crysis on high??
-

-
i just ran the crysis benchmark and im averaging 22 fps
-
Has anyone ran SC on an external monitor? I picked up a beta key, but haven't had a chance to play yet. Will probably start this weekend. What's the skill level of the people playing?
-
The only problem is that I don't want to spend about 1000$ again on almost the same notebook, if it'll get a better processor. Is there any way to send it back and let Dell replace the CPU or something? -
Nope. Besides the CPU being soldered in, Dell is in this for the money. They have no interest in updating a half a year old notebook (earliest a refrest might come out) into a refreshed model. This goes for all companies.
This is also the price of buying things without waiting. Everyone on these forums ordered the M11x knowing what it was and what its drawbacks were. Especially for the fact of buying a brand new model. -
-
I searched the thread and came up with nothing, Did anyone try Resident Evil 5 yet?
-
*OFFICIAL* M!!x Benchmark Thread -
ahh I guess that would make sense huh? LOL thanks
-
Some of the games are noticeably higher in FPS - however.. but that's to be expected with a Core i7 ..
All in all - Comparing this laptop to the M11x is still comparing apples to oranges here as the N82JV is significantly larger than the M11x - which the KEY reason I've purchased one. There simply isn't anything out there, in this exact form factor, that comes close in comparison (save for the Sony Z which is significantly more expensive). I'm sure by this time next year, however, there will be plenty of options in this form factor. -
Got some problem with l4d 2
I've got white pistol, and after few sec of gameplay game crashes.
Here what I'm talking about:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVX8r3TSpck
Tried to verify gamechache all is ok.
Tried to delete gamechache and download l4d 2 again, no luck.
P.s. Think there are idiots on steam forum-
http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=14602534&posted=1 -
The first time I loaded up l4d2, all I would see were white guns. Everything is ok now though? Everything appears normal and the game is a blast.
-
-
the more I play games, the CPU is definitely a bottleneck in many games.. but not to say you can run on highs, but yeah you could get more out of games FPS wise if the CPU was an i5 or something =) oh well, still love the M11x, just wish I could do more.
-
@vorob This happened to me too on my Z. What I did was change the compatiblity mode for l4d2 to windows xp sp3. Once I did that, no more white guns. You do this by right clicking the l4d2 icon, click properties and make it run in compatibility mode.
-
L4D 2 has more glitches than the original. I've completed 5 campaigns online on the M11x and found that setting the shader detail to high crashes the game, "the parish" campaign hangs up online after constantly failing to load the 2nd level; as well as many other niggling glitches which would render me cross had i spent more than £13 on it.

I saw a couple of people at the steam forum complaining also. Some of them were running the new gtx470's and 480's and thinking it was hardware related (since we have 2 gpu's, a oem driver and fairly new gpu maybe that's the problem?) and others that hadn't listed their rigs also mentioned it but nobody has a fix yet that I saw....
So just wondering if anyone with a m11x has gotten the game to run successfully yet or not since the update was released Thursday? -
-
Peter Bazooka Notebook Evangelist
Did you have and fix this problem with another computer or just with the m11x?
Also did you have this problem before the new dlc?
I'm just trying to figure out what it is even though I probably can't fix ittime to try out the new campaign

Does anyone play World of Warcraft on the 11x?
How well does it run it?
Thanks in advance -
Got the white guns/crashing issue with L4D2,that issue came after the update, but like somebody said here, if I "Set shader and effects detail to medium" works great, but that is not the point, this should be working as it should.
PLEASE if someone knows a solution tell!!! -
Its a problem with newer graphics cards, and not the m11x alone. Just wait for a valve patch.
-
-
FWIW, have no issues with settings to HIGH on the M17x - its either the 197.12 driver or its an issue between the update and the 335M. -
-
Ahhh - thanks for posting that (if you did earlier, I did not see it)
-
No problem, it was something i neglected to mention earlier
-
Someone mentioned it didn't run well on more recent GPU's, but it does run on my HD5850, wich is quite a recent GPU..
-
Has anyone with a disc copy of borderlands been successful with installing it on their m11x without an external drive?
-
Guys, got the SU7300 -4GB-7200rpm, M11x , and since I updated the video drivers to beta ones I see that Crysis (runinng in dx10) isn`t as fluid as it should be in "medium" settings, but L4d2 and MW2 are looking great.
Also, could anyone tell me how to make the Crysis benchmark tool run? because mine just starts the game...thanks! -

I bought SiN from steam last week because I used to love playing that game so long ago. Then I find out it doesn't like modern hardware and I was getting an error with the 335. I downloaded nHancer but it seemed like there was way too many options and I felt like I could mess up something in another game. So I decided to try the integrated graphics, and success! The game runs great with the integrated graphics. So the laptop is awesome for new and old games alike!
-
Torchlight runs good on "netbook mode" and intergrated graphics too.
Does Crysis Warhead run better than Crysis? Oh, and I think I'm going to make a system config for Crysis so it will look good but still have high FPS, I also pushed my desktop to the limit with a modded ultra high mod, so I guess I'll be able to do this too.
E: http://rapidshare.com/files/380482382/system.cfg.html
my tweak, got average 24fps first benchmark run, 26 second benchmark, haven't runned a third(OC'd CPU @ 1280x720). Maybe you have to change some ingame settings too, if you have lower framerates, tell me what your settings are.
PS: I think I'm going to improve it later.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
E2: I've made an improved version, min FPS 21.46, average FPS 28.60, max FPS 38.52
http://rapidshare.com/files/380493926/system.cfg.html
This can be downloaded just 10 times, so I think I'll just post what's in the config. somewhere, so you can just copy/paste it.
E3: Just to let you know what I've actually done:
1. Decreased shadow quality
2. Removed minor effects
3. Small bushes won't respond to you when you walk trought them, bigger bushes and trees will still respond(when shooting at them).
4. Big vegetation will be changed into more ugly tree's (less complex structures) when the distance between you and the object increases, this will happen more drasticly than normal.
5. Medium vegetation will fade at a large distance, more drasticly than without the tweak.
6. Small objects, like grass or small stones, will fade when you're not so far away from them, this may cause pop-ups.
These are the primary changes I've made. Hope you like it! -
how good does this run left 4 dead 1 and 2, and resident evil 5? (how many fps per setting?)
