    Topic. I've got a G73 with a 5870 (almost certain), how would I go about confirming this?

    I would completely dismiss this had I not a) bought the G73 from a place that offered several upgrades and b) had a lower than expected 3D Mark 11 score using the latest 5800 series drivers w/ flashed vBIOS etc.

    Beta BIOS? Surely that's just beta CCC drivers... I'm running 10.12 still, I've downloaded 11.3 but I haven't installed yet.

    Haha I wish. I did leave it in the daycare centre though.

    I noticed when installing the plug-in from that site it's the " Futuremark System Info blah blah". I think they have a problem with their tool ;)
