The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    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
