With the score I got I'm running the game at really nice graphical quality and no dips in framerate at all, I just have AA disabled. Doesn't bother me one bit though.

Just did the FFXIV Benchmark on my M17X R3 (Stock) and got a 3872 on the benchmark. 1000 means the game is playable. The benchmark itself has a very odd scoring system, and the maximum amount you can get is in the 8000+'s, BUT! The highest anyone has EVER gotten on it (even on the best rigs) is about 5k~ish. So 3k on a Stock M17X R3 is pretty sweet!

Youtube video of the benchmark (Not mine, but almost as good as how mine ran):

Ok, that's probably because Dell didn't send AMD all the information, no idea, try the direct download link here:

If this doesn't work just use this modded 11.6 driver, this should definitely install. Ignore the warnings during the installation:

Thanks much! The first one worked for me.

Here: ATI Catalyst

Thank you very much! Sorry I had to ask; it's just my first Radeon card ever.

EDIT: Hmm... It didn't seem to work. It says it's incompatible with my version.

Posting from my m17x r3! Absolutely love it! I only have one question though, where do I need to go to get the latest graphic drivers?

I have the AMD Radeon™ HD 6870M, any help would be appreciated, I love my Alien so far!

Mine suddenly switched back to EDD of 7/26 and is now Shipped via FedEx Express! This is it! It's almost here!

same edd as me, can't wait either.

Here's hoping it's the only delay.

Yeah, I can't wait much longer! D:

LOL @ random, but yes, indeed the word means something in greek. To be specific xolera (χολέρα) is the equivalent to the english word cholera.

It actually was at random. I wanted a name that started with X, then I slammed on my keyboard for the rest. You'll notice that o and l are next to each other on the keyboard, and so are e and r, and a and s. Hah! Yeah, one of those horribly hilarious coincidences. I just roll with it now even though I know the meaning. On another, sad note: my M17X R3 got delayed by 3 days! T_T

New EDD: 7/29/11

Congrats! Mine is still In Production with the same EDD of the 26th. Man, I'm getting anxious and excited and I can't wait!

I wonder how the Final Fantasy 14 benchmark runs on these.

Thanks a lot!

I actually created my username at random on the keyboard, but it turns out that it DOES actually mean something in Greek. Was... Ironic, to say the least.

Been following the forum for a while, just had to sign up to say that I finally ordered a m17x r3!

It's stock in options, except I opted for a 750GB HDD instead of a 320GB one. (Don't really have all that much money for modifications.)

I can't wait for it to get here, I'm so excited!

Ordered: 7/11/2011

Status: In Production

EDD: 7/26/2011
