    ok so my comp crashes every now and then who cares doesnt happen that much for me any ways. my concern is that i have really low performance. i have the crossfire 5780s and the 720cpu also have the new vbios and drivers. i basically have to run the settings in medium to low. no the stealth is not on as when it is and i play wow my fps are around 15 and when its off they go to 60 so thats how i tell. i have a desktop with 4870s crossifre and a 9550cpu and it runs 100% high every thing. i would assume this lappy should be able to keep up. do i need/can OC my 720? do i need to OC my GPU's? or is there something else im missing?

    Do you have Catalyst AI set to advanced? If not, you should set it to advanced, and then disable/re-enable crossfire. That should give you a decent performance boost.
