    Hi,

    I try to run Mass Effect 1 on my m11xR2 and it performs poorly...

    I think the problem is due optimus setting since Mass Effect 2 runs smoothly according to other threads.

    I already assigned Masseffect.exe to white list. But, it seems that the game still use Integrated graphic. (I run mass effect configuration utility and it detects integrated graphic as graphic card.)

    Anyone plays Mass Effect 1 without problems? I only found Mass Effect 2 threads... Does anybody have the game and try it out?

    Thanks.

    I found that installing newer video drivers, from this board, helped a lot. What drivers are you running?

    Problem solved with 258.96 driver :)

    Neither dell 257.30 or new 259.47 works for me.
