    :So, i just got my alienware m17x r4 yesterday and after getting it all set up i installed world of tanks and was only getting like 40 FPS which seems kinda slow for my system. I have an AMD 7970 which should be way more powerful. So i thought i should go update my drivers. So, i went to AMD's website and the damned thing didnt work at all. It couldnt detect my OS or whatever :confused: . So...

    1. What the heck is with AW/Dell and Amd drivers? :confused:
    2. should i just go down the list @ Drivers and Downloads | Dell [United States] and download every driver that applies to my hardware?
    3. If this isn't why my performence stinks, please explain what else i should do.
