If it's a first-generation m11x, the CPU is low voltage and relatively slow - so the CPU which is likewise soldered to the board and not upgradeable isn't designed for all-out gaming. For gaming, the M11X is OK but not great. If you go to www. If you select a particular graphics card, it will tell you what games can be played and what the frame rates are for low, medium, and high settings.
