Hey guys, here some more info about Battlefield 3 Beta, and my gameplay stats.

I played at 590/1180/900 stock clocks, with the 280.26 drivers and never dipped below 30 fps. On the outdoor map, i had about 35-40 fps while moving around, max of 45, and never went below 30 even in heavy gunfights. This is pretty surprising to me. Anyways, i'm looking forward to trying the new "Battlefield 3 Drivers" and seeing what performance i get then

Settings: All Ultra, shadows medium. Resolution 1366x768 60hz refresh rate. AA off AF off, Ambient occlusion off (do you guys use off, SSAO, or HBAO?)

The game is a lot of fun, but as expected, there are A LOT of glitches already, i.e. falling through the floor and struggling to get out, white flashes every now and then, etc.

I will be trying to do an overclocked gameplay @ 750/900, but i haven't had a chance to overclock this m14x being that it is my new replacement . lemme know if you have any other questions!

Dude I dont care about rep.. but thanks.

I know that most people don't, nor do i, but it is a good way to show respect for someone

+Rep steven and boobs for the updates, thank you!

Edit: steven your rep will come after i rep other people lol

sir, you bring honor to T|I. +rep

I actually read up on this a little, and they said they NEVER delete games. so what you could just do is remember to play any origin game at least once every 2 years? xD?

This thread is full of the lols. what's odd is i pictured svl7 mw86 Stevenx Michael Stamatis and Jimbo to be in those ranges. I guess the shoutbox convos really help ya get to know people

As for me I'm living the good life at 16, ya jelly grandpa's? /endtroll

I think the number one thing that makes this forum great is that not only are the people mature, we all seem to have our own independence, rather than just copying what other people say, like on a certain other website...I guess that comes with age, therefore it looks like me Gears and Ninja are the noobs

oops, almost forgot to say, +1 for the work and info, lolz!

Very nice stevenx, you planning on getting a nice ripper mod on that flimsy baseball bat

Okay, i will edit this when i get home, i'm getting limited internet as it is.

Anyways, i need someone to take a picture of there m14x's side piece to the monitor. ya know, the blackish/gray parts on the left and right? There are two strips. The ones closest to the inside are both popping out a bit it seems on my m14x, can someone take a pic of their m14x from straight on to screen, and from left and right sides?

Also, can someone do the same thing for the plastic rims on the left and right hand sides of the computer? The strip I'm talking about is the piece that is on the most outside of the left and right hand sides. Please take the picture so you can see the top surface where tihngs like the touch pad are. i dont need to see the touchpad, just the surface all of that is on, PLEASE HELP!

I WILL UPDATE THIS LATER JUST GOTTA GET THIS UP ASAP.

EDIT: PLEASE DO NOT BOTHER SENDING IN THE PICTURES!!!! I just got home and checked with my old m14x (being sent back to dell) and it turns out it has it too. I'm not worried anymore, thanks anyways guys :X

Running it at the highest details available in game. 60-90fps at 750/900 clocks. It's beautiful. Good Luck, Stevenx

May i ask what resolution you are running at Steven?

me and my mother are very good at negotiating sales from dell, we are long term customers and have bought things from computers to printers from them. The first time we were looking to get the m14x, i got it for under the base price :3, however it would have had the 720p screen and i really wanted the 900p. So we waited and i got a little bit less of a deal.

I never tried Borderlands but might just give it a shot. Is it an RPG in the style of Fallout 3 / NV ?

Yeah pretty much, except the graphics have a really cool, semi-cartoon style that I like. Also, the leveling system is more emphasized and you don't have to be doing quests constantly, which is nice. I like that there is a bit of a challenge to it at times, with weapon ammo running low, and taking cover so your shields recharge and always aiming for those critical hits.

It's a lot of fun

You sure he's a dell rep? Seems fishy to me.

You know what would be really cool.. A modded A01 bios that has increased gpu voltage (already completed) and a lowered CPU voltage (to lower cpu temps a bit). Take some from one side, give it to the other.

This is an amazing idea.

Stevenx basically already did this with the Gaming on Battery setting. Take some from the CPU, and the GPU won't get downclocked. Now imagine this at large scale because of the gpu voltage mod?

only thing i'm concerned about is games such as BF3. I heard it utilizes some of the CPU for performance.

yeah i highly recommend beating at least playthrough 1

Thanks Stamatis! , more videos will prob come as i get more games

Ok guys here is a tutorial. It is not quick by any means, quite lengthy and step by step. If you need anymore help, feel free to post here .

I recommend watching in 1080p full screen on youtube to see everything well.

okay, well it seems that the only way to post a video here is to upload to youtube and then link that to here, so i'm doing that. I'll make a new thread in pc gaming when its done, and make another post here with the link to that.

I try to upgrade using Nvdia 270.26 after I Drive Sweep the driver... but still no luck.

That's weird, because i don't remember there being a mobile nvidia driver of 270.26. Try this:

Download drivers 280.26 and the modded inf. then use windows add/remove program to get rid of the old drivers, and then install the new ones. i don't remember 270.26, those sound pretty old.

Here's the link: v280.26 Windows 7/Vista 64bit | NVIDIA OEM Notebook - LaptopVideo2Go Forums

That's odd. But i think i know what you mean. Right click on your desktop, click graphics properties, and check to make sure Refresh Rate is at 60hz. Lemme know if that does anything

+Rep TMI

Anyways, @iloveb00bs, do you want me to make a modding tutorial for Borderlands?

hahaha yeah, if you want a little tutorial with any games or stuff, let me know. I mod a lot of games after i complete them legitimately. I just miss the old school days of ps3 modding before it was jail-broken. That was the best because you actually had to work for it, made it all the more savory.

Cheat engine is a very useful program if you can work it right.

lol i wish you put this up earlier, i bought a copy of Borderlands GOTY as well the day the sale started hahaha . Mordecai ftw.

Also, if any wants to make modded weapons, i can put a willow tree tutorial up. However, i highly suggest not playing with modded weapons. Its a lot more fun getting them on your own. The only thing i did cheat in was giving myself unlimited money with cheat engine hahaha, that way i don't have to pickup weapons all the time to sell them back.

I'm debating whether or not to get this game now with it's stupid contracts. Like it can view your harddrive and give that info to advertisers, and if you don't use the game or something you can lose it permanently.
