Ok quick question. Would an Alienware M18x with the 2630QM and 2 GTX580m's be able to handle DX11 Max Settings?
I think it's more than able. There are some benchmarks in this article: http://laptoping.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-580m-laptop-video-card-announced-benchmarked.html
Well a 580m is around the performance of a GTX460, so using SLI GTX460 you'll get a minimum of 25 and average of 40.3 according to Tom's Hardware
But that is with AA off, but everything else maxed out. 25 FPS minimum is what I would consider playable, although personally I would prefer it never to drop below 30.
Also Tom, the high textures haven't fixed everything yet. Metal work still needs some work for example.

Actually, a GTX485 was as strong as a GTX460 and considering most people are saying the GTX580 is about 20% stronger then the GTX485, I would say it is about a GTX560 maybe even a 560 TI.
Stare at boxes, pillars, explosions, water or ground that has cracks and you'll notice.

Actually I went from 2 gtx 460 in sli (2gb versions overclocked at 800mhz) to pair of gtx 580 asus directcu II but tested 1 of my gtx 580 vs pair 460 and found after the direct x 11 ultra and high textures the gtx 580 comes out on top due to shaders being used from what can work out. Oh the gtx 580 is clocked at 900 mhz @ 1.5v.
You sound so old. Its made quite the difference imho.

AYE we will but if'n ya noticed I've been waving the Green Flag for sometime even when the enemy (err I mean red team) was ever so slightly out performing at launch of the 590. I knew it was crapola drivers Now we have it sorted out and beatin the pants off again
Great Vid Tom loved it but I do have a question thats been naggin at me the whole build. Why on earth did ya put the 6990 in instead of the 590 and Ghetto in the 6990????
Oh wait I know
so the red team cant call foul on it. Muhahahahahahahahahahahaha by saying well the 6990 was ghetto'd in and thats where it lost performance
Totally loved each vid and cant wait for more
