    hi I just purchased Alienware m17x-r3 with amd 6870 in it.
    buyer told me the resolution is 1080p FULL HD
    but then I checked twice from Desktop>Screen Resolution, it's not 1920x1080 rather than 1600x900 :mad:

    he told me i have to switch from gpu saving mode to high performance mode.
    did it 5x but yet the resolution still showing at 1600x900

    any help how to reconfirm my screen resolution?
    thanks ahead!
