    Excellent!
    I'll test it tonight.

    Should I use this order with 6970?

    uninstall intel
    uninstall amd
    safe mode + ccleaner
    install amd
    install intel

    the 17xr3 is an enigma... lol. I'd say just download and run the installer. if it works, great.

    if it doesnt, start looking at other approaches... uninstall amd, etc.

    It is made to work only with NVidia cards. Unless you do kunekaden's way for ATi cards (Please see second post)...

    Yeah i just uninstalled the current IGP driver from the device manager(check the delete box as well) then just ran the installer and no problemo .

    After that i reinstalled the ATI drivers and all was good.
