    Just downloaded 3DMark11 Basic Edition and ran the benchmark on my G73jh.

    The Physics and Combined portions of the benchmark don't run - just get a blank screen. Apparently these tests use the Bullet Physics engine.

    The graphics tests run fine. Anyone else facing similar issues ? Any workarounds ?

    I'm suspecting that I may have to update the video driver though I'm not sure the Bullet Physics engine would be affected by that.

    My Details:
    G73JH, Bios 2.11, Latest vBios (Gary's), ATI 10.8.

    Maybe 3DMark11 physics/combined tests don't work with ATI 10.8 drivers.
