    What software you're using to test your M11x for online gaming (FPS and 3dmark)? I'm done installing all the software I need - it's time to check my laptop performance in terms of (online) gaming.

    I heard lots of news regarding testing software that can damages your graphic driver.

    Thanks

    Could you link me to news of software that damages one's graphics driver? That would be helpful to know. Thanks in advance :)

    ah crap. There was a link posted here just recently about one of the burn in tests... must have been posted in the last couple of days if you have a quick search. Edit: FurMark?

    Correct - FurMark.

    So what software you're using to check if your M11x R2 can handle online games.
