    Hi guys. I just got the m17x-R2 today with 5870 CF and 920XM processor. I decided to try out League of Legends (an online game) on it and during one of the matches, my FPS started dropping from 60 to 20 intermittently. It'd go back up to 60 after a few seconds and then down to 20 again. Is this a driver issue? I've got the 8.692.2.0 version, and I did not temper with any settings.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    is my driver the latest one? I hear people talk about the 10.5 catalyst. Is it a modded driver and does it work?
