    Crossfire hooray? I just purchased my Acer 5560G and I feel as though it is way behind where it should be graphics wise. I'm using the 8.901.3.0 version drivers from amd for the 7670m. When I go to advanced settings in screen resolution it only shows the 6520g (?). How do I know it is using the dedicated card when it doesn't show up anywhere. It barely runs SC on medium/low. Can anyone tell me what drivers they use? Maybe a windows graphics index score (I know I know..). CPUz doesn't show any specs on the dedicated card but GPuz does. Any advice will be helpful besides unhelpful advice. Thanks ahead :)

    EDIT    :
    10/12/2011 8.901.3.0 - Best
    6/11/2012 8.980.0.0 - Unstable/Bad

    What gives AMD.... Old > New > Newest = Same #as old? This is why auto detect is terrible. I have tried every driver available, crossfire is broken

    BTW use device manager to switch between multiple drivers like a boss. I know 40 people have read this



    EDIT 2

    Gave up, maybe I will add some ram to help the APU?
