What's gaming like on the M6600 with a FirePro M7740

If I want to game with a M6400 and FirePro M7740, will I have any problems? I've heard people say that driver support is not there for games. Is there any truth to this?

 

The FirePro M7740 is equivalent to the HD 4860, if you use consumer drivers. It should be pretty good, comparable to the high end GPUs like HD 4850 and GTX 260M. By default, the drivers are optimized for workstation tasks and not games, hence why you'd have to find the consumer drivers.

 

Don't know if I should bump this thread or start a new one, but my question is basically following up on the one in this thread. I assume that since the FirePro M7740 is the professional version of the HD 4860 the "consumer drivers" for it would be referring to the same drivers as for the HD 4860 i.e. the Catalyst Mobility driver. From what I can tell some tweaking (or possibly modded drivers) is required to make it work but I guess that is to be expected.

However the GPU model I will be getting for my M6500 seems to have to changed just today to the FirePro M7820, which seems to be a new card so I guess I was kind of lucky there but at the same time it's a different card that I had never heard about before. Information about this card is also scarce and there are no benchmarks to find but according to Notebookcheck.net it's basically to the HD 5870 what the M7740 is to the HD 4860. By that I reckon the same principles will apply, i.e. it's really the same card and gaming will not be a problem as long as you use the drivers for the consumer version, or could I be wrong here?

If all goes well my M6500 will be delivered early August so I'll be sure to report here what I can glean from the M7820 as at least for now it looks like unexplored territory.
