    Just kidding :)

    The game runs really well. I had some screen tearing at first but after running d3d overrider it was perfect. Default settings suggested high but I lowered the settings to medium to be on the safe side.

    I can't decide if I prefer playing it at 1920x1080 with medium settings or 1366x768 at high. Either way tends to give me around 30fps on average, sometimes bumping up to 35-40 - and that's WITHOUT overclocking. I actually have an ASUS N55SF and a DV6tqe right now (was going to replace the DV6tqe with the ASUS, but the ASUS has a defective LCD...ugh). Think it actually runs a little better on my HP.

    Another very addicting Bethesda game...after every quest, you just want to complete one...more...quest...

    Managed to exit the game to post this..

    Playing with High details except Shadow at Medium, Reflections=ON, 2xMSAA, 8xAF and FXAA=ON. I left distance setting at default. Getting over 30-40-ish outdoors/town and 40-60 indoors@1366x768.

    Great game indeed, i skip MW3 for this. Now i want to continue my... quest.

    i play the game at 1080p using low preset with medium textures and some water tweaks so it looks nice in windowed mode using a mod that makes the game windowed fullscreen :)

    50+fps
