    So i wanted to see if it passes canyourunit.com on a few games, the graphics card failed. I was thinking maybe its in stealthmode, i have that on my m15x. Well i have no idea where the button is to turn stealth mode off or if i have to do it on the settings. Anyone know if this m11x r3 has stealth mode? Looked in manuel and still cant find anything.

    systemrequirementslab is useless. and the reason it would fail is because of optimus. it thinks your using intel HD

    yes it will be using ur intel graphics.
    but if you want to know if a game runs and how well, ur best off just making a thread and asking.

    The site sucks, some games fail to pass because minimums requeriments are Pentium IV 2.5GHz and since no i5/i7 is over 2.0GHz (for the m11x) sometimes fails to pass, also, it always use the Intel card, so you are gonna fail 80% of the games listed because of that...
