    All, searching through the forums and I couldn't locate the last word on M17X latency. The 197.16 driver, by all indications, would have stopped the latency.

    It's still as worse as ever.

    I have 197.16 installed now. More advanced drivers like 270.61 and 275.33 lead to a very unstable platform with frequent crashes - even without DX11 active.

    help!

    What bios are you running? You should be running A07.

    And if you're having problems with the Verde drivers (2xx), try disabling PCI Express 2.0 in BIOS.

    I'm on A07, 270.33 WHQLs and PCI Express 2.0 enabled, no problems, no latency in dpclat.
