    Hey guys just revice my m17x r3 and, ran 3dmark 11 basic, and got a score around 2900,
    i think i may have to install a new driver for my 6970m card, i saw that using the drivers on the dell website for the 6990m work fine with the 6970m card, is that correct?

    Also i know limited stuff about computers, so just trying to find the easiest way to get the most recent driver, so basicly all i need to do is go to the dell website and download the drivers for 6990m Via this link? and install them over the drivers i have atm? if you need anymore information let me know.

    The 6990M driver is the same as the 6970M driver (both 8.851.2) and is probably already installed if you received it recently.

    If you want to perk up that 3dMark11 score a little, go to CCC>Gaming>3d Application Settings and set as shown below.
