    Mike what version of ATI driver and CCC are you running? Have you updated your VBios if you are using recent ATI drivers?

    Don't confuse the bios and video bios, saying just in case. You can check your video bios version with GPU-Z.

    As i said, download GPU-Z and check what video bios you have.

    The bios version will look like this: 012.020.000.032.something, the exact number will differ depending on which version you have. Post your version here once you know which one it is.

    Mike your VBIOS (Video BIOS Version) Should be 012.020.000.032.038352. The BIOS version on the Gpu-z screen shot is not the same. Did you ever flash it following the directions found on this forum? Note you would have had to create a bootable fat32 flash drive ... Note if you contact ASUS they will not support this mod AFA I know, and you can easily brick your machine if not done properly. Note the title is a bit misleading, it should also say how to use the latest Vid. drivers with the G73JH
