    True that, but I always like to let my drivers up to date. I'm using it right now, even because they have updated Physx.

    That's interesting. Might not apply to the M11X's GPUs. After all, if you play Skyrim with the 260- Series Drivers and then you play with the 280+ and above Drivers you can see an improvement of 16FPS (I checked, the Statistic is averaged.) And you get less annoying stutter. I would still upgrade.

    You miss this part. As an M14x user I've experienced around 10fps increase in Swtor. Didnt have any chance to test other games yet. So dont be pessimistic and enjoy :)
