    Hi there,
    I connected my m17x to an external 26" Asus monitor (I am just trying it for the moment since the laptop itself has a great display) anyways, whenever I start any game, the display screen changes to the m17x's monitor and there is a large decrease in performance?

    I am thinking there might be a certain setting in Catalyst for this, but the decrease display is weird.

    any idea guys?

    720qm @1.6 ghz
    Dual 5870s
    8gb ram
