    By downloading the drivers E Wrecked made is there a chance it will make the alienware not work and also would it void your warranty with alienware?

    It shouldnt really do a lot of difference from the actual 8.12 from ATI, performance wise at least.

    BUT. It fixes the problem with the scaling issue which means you can play all the game in other resolutions than the native one. Which for me is far more important.
