Since already got post of unboxing video and pictures.. I took some photos of the internal parts..


Seem Dell loves Samsung so much.. RAM, SSD and Batteries all from Samsung..

Bioshock 2
Setting: 1366 x 768, All Graphics Options ON, Quality HIGH.




Framerates fluctuates between 30fps on texture-heavy scenes to a silky smooth 60fps on the other end of the spectrum.

Modern Warfare 2 NEXT!

I ordered M15x. I don't see anyone else getting this, everyone's getting M17x or M11x =\

lol, u're wrong. TS is a M15x user. Check out the first page.

o

No one suggest idea to me leh

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Settings: 1366 x 768, Anti-aliasing & V-sync OFF, Everything else ON, Texture Quality and Aspect Ratio AUTO.



Framerate varies between mid 20s (25fps on enemy- and particle-heavy scenes) to 52fps. Averages out to 35fps throughout the game. Perfectly playable.

wow really?

Mass Effect

Setting: 1366 x 768, All Graphics Options (HDR Bloom, Light Environment and Dynamic Shadows) ON.



Never drops below 30fps, more forgiving on the cutscenes/text/decision scenes, to around 38-39fps on gameplays that requires moving around. PERFECT!

NEXT will be Street Fighter IV, NFS:Shift and GRID. To be continued!

I don't know bout you, but this video made me feel bad.

Street Fighter IV

Settings: AA 2X, 1366 x 768, Display Refresh Rate 60fps, V-sync ON, Framerates FIXED, Parallel Rendering ON, Texture Quality Default, the rest of the graphic options HIGH.



Ran the built-in benchmark app, framerate fluctuates between high 40s, and steady 55s. Probably because of the FIXED framerate setting is on, but I'd rather have that than yo-yoing FPSes. Variable FPS probably increases the graphical quality, but at this screen size, the effect would have been negligible. Another PERFECT game to showcase your M11X!

NEXT is NFS:Shift!

Need For Speed: Shift

Settings: Resolution 29( 1366 x 768, 2X AA, Refresh rate 60Hz, Bilinear Filtering, V-Sync ON, the rest of the graphical settings on HIGH).



This one's a toughie! I had to do a trial-and-error on which settings it would run acceptably well. Just for kicks I had it running at Resolution 31, which is 1366 x 768, 8x AA, Trilinear Filtering, the rest HIGH), and watched in horror as the game drops down to 15fps! Stutter and lags but still playable, albeit with obvious loss in fluidity. Dropped down the setting to Resolution 29, and the fps climbed back to high 20s/low 30s. The killer would be the behind-the-car view, cockpit view is running at more than acceptable 38fps, while the rest are in between.

Moving on to GRID next!

GRID

Settings: 1366 x 768, 2X AA, V-sync OFF, Refresh rate 60Hz, Advanced Settings everything either ON or HIGH.



Another hard one to get to. Finally got down to this config, with framerates between high 20s and mid 30s. Again, the killer POV is behind-the-car cam, cockpit view is more forgiving. At one time though, when cars were crumpled up in a tight corner, the framerate drops to 17fps! Very rare, so I left it at this config. If you want further smoothness, you can drop the options in the Advanced Settings to default.

NEXT is Crysis: Warhead and Crysis!

parts are here...time to do some stripping.....ive notice all the screws r so effing tight...palm hurts trying to unscrew everything

Crysis: Warhead

Settings: 1366 x 768, V-sync OFF, Graphics Option set to "Mainstream".



Settings: 1366 x 768, V-sync OFF, Graphics Option set to "Gamer".



Run on both settings. There are instances where the "Gamer" setting is acceptable, but on fierce and heavy firefights, you can imagine the consequences. Drop to "Mainstream", the framerates are more acceptable, high 20s to low 30s. For kicks, ramped it up to "Enthusiast", and watched a nice "slideshow", with beautiful graphics.

Barely playable at "Gamer", somewhat playable at "Mainstream". Dropping it further to "Minimum" makes it look butt-ugly.

NEXT, the mother of all gaming stress-test, the original Crysis.

hello mr string, have u tried on 1.3 ghz? how's the fps? hmm, base on your opnion, 1.3 and 1.6ghz will have how much fps difference? wil it be very noticeable?

I left it running on 1.6Ghz, ever since I got the thing. Not going to go back to 1.3Ghz.

Crysis

Settings: 1366 x 768, V-Sync OFF, Graphics options set to "Medium"



It had to be done. Running it on HIGH is beautiful no doubt, but slideshow-beautiful. There are times where the framerates runs at a steady 15fps, and running through the jungle feels somewhat fluid, but add on firefights and all, it becomes unbearable. Again, my target fps is mid- to high- 20s and low 30s, the "Medium" settings gives that. As expected, Crysis is killer.

I'll add C&C later but based on what I'm getting, I'm very happy with the M11X. High image quality gaming is finally portable.
