M17 Underperformance issues

I agree
I do wish Alienware had it so could get support & help in installing,

 

Well the problem is im not an AW customer. I bought mine from Killernotebooks. The owner dissapeared so no support from that side. (If anyone knows how i could contact Mark Mueller id be happy to know it)

What i would like to know is if a AW customer here could order me 2 and resell em to me dunno if thats a possibility?

 

Most of Killernotebook uses Clevo and Sugar chassies. I remember the owner on tomshardware claiming his system where better then Alienware a few years ago. So check with Clevo sugar on notebookreview.

My old Pro Star which is also clevo/Sugar which look like Killer notebooks.

 

I installed 9.12 working fine
But still game doesnt open in Full Screen
Anyone know how to ?

 

did u install the hotfix or without the hotfix ?

 

What hotfix??

And no i removed 9.12 again as it gave me bluescreens and sometimes errors saying the driver stopped responding but that it had recovered from it. So back to good old 9.9

 

I thought i had Installed 9.12
when i go Device manager & chk the Driver version shows as - 8.63

So I removed & installed 9.11 & again it shows as - 8.671

Thats wired

& where can I get Hot fix & wht I do just Install on top of the drivers Installed
or have to uninstall & Install Drivers & then Install


Ati made it so difficult & a head pain to install simple drivers

 

8.671 is the latest Driver Package version.

 

latest Driver Package from Alienware ?
Or the 9.11 installed on my Laptop just shows as - 8.671.0.0


God Bless You for your Help

 

juste get the lastes from amd
Mob Mod them
run driver sweeper
Install them

 

I did, but the

9.12 version shows as - 8.63

9.11shows as - 8.671

 

8.681 is the latest from AMD (9.12) which i am running without problems.

Heres the information regarding the latest 9.12 drivers, if yours dont look like mine then you are not running the latest drivers and have not correctly uninstalled the old and installed the new.
Redo the uninstall & install procedures, you might have forgotten or missed something in the process .

 

So no one is having Bsod or ''driver has stopped responding but recovered" errors?

 

Never had any problems with my M17 in combination with 3870's or 4850's with any driver version at all.

 

i had this issue when trying to use crossfire with a opengl software that didnot used crossfire

 

Yeah, sorry, I forgot that I downgraded it back to 9.11.

 

Thanks so much
So mine is 9.11 I guess
Im Happy

 

Just keep in mind that for many users (including me) 9.11 gives extremly poor performance compared to 9.12 .

 

They keep updateing Drivers so fast
will wait for 9.13 or 9.14 till i update again

 

I just thought of something. Im still running the RC version of Win7 (build 7100)
Could this have anything to do with my bsod using anything else then the driver provided by Ati for mobility 3870 x2. U folks having no problems are all on retail versions?

 

RC version is quite stable, but I would assume RTM has less bugs, therefore less chance of BSOD.
My RTM works very good with 9.11, but it's not that good with 9.12.
