    It runs and oh yes it runs very well considering :) I have posted some screenshots below but with my settings signature I am seeing between 25-40fps with the settings in the picture below I can max it out but must keep the shadows down as they punish the frame rate which is normal with newer games. However, even at 20fps the game is very very smooth there is no jittering or lag when the frames drop and if you can handle medium settings with AA and AF off you are looking at 40-50fps native resolution.

    The game looks good as well the graphics are not over the top so the M11x does not struggle. I have only played for a few minutes but the interface is nice and the characters work well. Cinematics are also very engrossing.

    It works that is all that matters. Pictures below are from the opening scene with lots of lighting effect and fire blazing so hurts the frames.

    P.s When I first fired it up I was a little scared it was only getting 20-25fps with all low settings. The HD GPU works just so you know ;)
