    Just from briefly browsing through the forums I can see that games such as bf:bc2 have issues with "multiple displays" with the most up-to-date graphics drivers.
    I have been ordering parts and games for my m11x which isn't here yet.
    I obviously can't test out games for compatibility before I buy them so I wanted to know if there is a comprehensive list of games that are either compatible/uncompatible with current drivers and of those, those which avoid the issues by using 189.79

    I really bought this just to play wc3, sc2, css, tf2, and bf:bc2.

    Also, I hate to ask too much in one thread, but how much of a performance hit can one expect by using the old drivers?
    Thanks!
