    Open GL is newer, D3D version is the same but that doesn't mean it can't have fixes or improvements.

    No matter what driver I install, I always get code 43 error for my 7970m, and I can never use catalyst control center when on IGP, but it seems my 7970m is still enabeld in the background, because my battery life sucks at less than 3 hours (I could get close to 5 on my m17xR3, 6990m switched off). Switchable graphics doesn't even show up in CCC

    Anybody have a working install method to have working switchable graphics?
