    After trying many drivers with my 9700M GT card, I concluded and found that the 180.70 driver with the modified INF performs the best. I would say that the performance gain over the factory installed 176.26 driver is around 30%. I thought I'd let everyone know.


    Also, the problem I was experiencing with the navy blue color looking purple; I've concluded that it is the monitor causing it to look like that. I received a second 8930-6448 from Acer after returning the first one due to the purple color and the cinedash not working. I currently have it plugged in via HDMI into my Samsung 46" 630 HDTV. The colors look normal on the big screen, but they still are messed up on the laptop monitor. It isn't the drivers or my video card; it is the screwed up laptop monitor from Acer. I don't know if this is a problem with only my batch of 8930s or is a problem for all the 8930s and/or 8920s.
