    I thought it would be fun to have, well a fun post amounst all these benchmark & issues threads.

    What's the most straining application, game, or both or more while having the stealth mode on.

    I have the m15x with 8800GTX, 2gb, 2.5ghz & managed to play Red Alert 3 on the highest settings for everything & have a perfectly high frame rate while having Firefox still running in the background with a fair amount of tabs open. :cool:

    I don't remember the exact settings (some high some medium) but I have ran Crysis on stealth mode once by accident for a few minutes before realizing the low-ish framerate.

    i think anything not graphically intensive should run just fine. i used to run CSS on stealth mode (when my GPU fan was broken) at 80fps at pretty high settings.

    You can run shadowrun maxed out in either stealth mode or regular with no noticeable frame rate drops.
