    Looking for a list of links for all the official drivers available for the 5870m. Seems they don't have a link to the older versions for it like they do on the desktop cards. Trying to play a game that has extreme issues with pretty much all newer card drivers and want to give some old ones a go. Thanks!

    I have 10.6 and 10.7 I can upload. 9.12 and 10.1 are on the Asus download site.

    Can you point me to the links for 9.12 and 10.1? When I go to Asus I see one file for a graphics driver. Thanks!

    9.12 is the one on the G73JH download page (original stock driver).

    quick question unrelated to the thread

    it says you have the intel wireless card. Didn't all g73JH come with atheros card?

    Yes!

    My reseller ( PowerNotebooks.com) upgraded the wireless when I purchased the machine. When I sent it to Asus for repair without the adapter installed, Asus was kind enough to stick an Atheros card in there, so now I have an Atheros spare :)
