Ya I think over 90 you can start damaging components.

I'll have results from 720QM, 5870M and 900p screen in a few hours.

[kevmanw4301]

Okay, so between 25-50FPS throught the map, most of the time around 35FPS. This is completely maxed except for motion blur being off, because I hate it. 900p screen, for the record.

GTX 260m and I7 740 qm

Stock clock. Running avg. 35 outside metro and 25-30 inside.
Outside my gpu temp stays around 85* C
and inside the tunnel Im getting around 90-92 * C so far no higher.
Really trying to figure out how to get a higher fps and lower temps lol.
the 90* mark starts to scare me and I can't afford to mess up my PC.

Edit: and this is with all settings on LOW ingame and my card settings all to performance.

I have a M15x with 920xm(without OC)+6970m(680/900/1V)+1600*900 screen
Here's some screenshoots and fraps photos.
My god... I can only have 6 attaches...


First, the vedio config


And then some game fraps:

Indoor (Avg 55FPS)


Outdoor (Avg 41 FPS)


Some other whole game fraps





All in all, M15x can have a nice performance in BF3, the temperature is about 75-78℃. And although 30+ FPS can provide a fluent game, I think at this point it is better than BC2.
