    Thanks so much for all the help though, they used my almost exact system in the benchmark. Which I thought was plenty cool.

    Eheheh its all going good chiefs. The AMD 10.10 mobility drivers finally came out late yesterday. So I'm gonna give them a go. See how the performance and stability is.

    Yeh I think Lozz got his 5870s back and sent back the 285s. It was good to test and try out though. Just there was a lack of stable driver support and overall the performance is no where near as good as the 5870s.

    Cheers. :)

    ehahah oles chiefs.

    Nah I don't think his cards were fried. Just bad driver stability is all. + they kept wanting to see how far they could push the card in terms of benchmarks and OC lol. It can only go up so much and still no where as good or near the 5870s. It was mainly just a dell gimmic releasing such old tech LOL. Trying to sell some more Aliens to unsuspecting consumers.

    I just gave the bench another run. Perhaps you can give it a go too when your system finally arrives. Oles.

    See how the 920XM influences the bench lol oles!!!
