    Is it possible to use the GPU client with the 3670? I need a driver of 8.7 or later but I currently have 8.512. And since ATI doesn't support their mobile GPUs... is there a mod that will allow me to run F@H GPU client?

    Also... Is it ok to run the SMP and GPU client?

    You have to create a shortcut and add -force_r600 to the target.

    Will the F@H client see it as 8.7 or later?

    The lastest driver that I see in the ATI website is only 8.6 for 3670 which was released this month (Catalyst 9.6). I don't know how you will find 8.7.

    I also found in the ATI FAH website that you only need Catalyst 8.3 or above.

    I don't know what version of Catalyst dell has provided but I used mobilityMod (look at whizzo post for link) to install the lastest driver from ATI website. ^ ^

    I hope this might help

    If you guys have Windows 7 installed, then Ati has 9.4 Mobility drivers available for the 3670 video card on the amd website. I have used it and it works well.

    Don't under Window Vista > radeon > HD3600 series support the HD 3670 in SXPS16?
    Because I downloaded that and I can install it on my SXPS16
    Not my driver version is 8.6 (from catalyst 9.6)
