    has anyone tried this game with the m11? i am having extreme difficulty getting any decent framerates out of it, 17 being the best so far. I am by far no computer wizz, so was hoping you folks could help me out. I just got this computer last week.. my specs are:

    geforce gt335m
    4 gig ram
    Intel Core i7 cpu @ 1.20 ghz which i overclocked in the f12 settings

    i believe i have all updated drivers as well.

    any suggestions? i tried running the game at the minimal settings, and still very low framerates =(

    yep thanks Murdo, that fixed it lol. went from 17 fps to 120 fps on lowest settings.... went ahead and maxed everything out, and was getting 50-60 fps! guess ill have to remember to do this for every game now.

    thanks again

    If it is a source game it runs off that engine.. E.g you only need to white list HL2 to make the 335m work for Team fortress 2.
