    I think you have the wrong idea. I used the microfiber cause I was taking the machine apart and didn't want it to get scratched. I have not modified the venting in anyway - although you gave me a good idea...lol

    Is it normal to get the following with the m8900?

    3DMark Vantage: P13178
    3DMark 11: P3126

    For some reason, the results seem a bit low. Also, I tried to load 12.1 and it still comes out as a FirePro in the drivers. Since I tried to reinstall several times, I guess this is normal.

    Are you using the regular Catalyst or preview drivers? Try the preview drivers.

    AMD Catalyst? 12.1 Preview driver
