    I may be wrong but Enduro is something that is set in hardware as well, not just software. If he has a R3, considering Enduro wasn't out then, there might not be an option for him to use the iGPU.

    I would go to the the alienware 7970m threads and they know how to get it stable with the right drivers and settings. also try using throttlestop when gaming.

    Do you have throttlestop on? I am guessing you do since you have a log :p.

    I don't really know what else to say. your CPU shouldn't be going down to those values imo.

    AMD WILL fix the stability issues, if not then they're in for one big ash lawsuit from thousands of people who bought the 7970m. the problem is we may have to wait for a while...

    you've set it to PEG...and then went in and physically disabled the IGP right? It is a 2 step process. Setting to PEG doesn't disable integrated.

    Look at my guide for screenshots

    On the R3, with integrated graphics off, the 7970m flies to its full potential

    The people having those issues don't know how to properly install drivers... How about you quit your naysaying

    holy AMD fanboy batman.

    How then can you explain the laptop crashing when installing The STOCK gpu driver from the stock dvd disc right after a clean windows 7 install? happened to me TWICE, and also even a member named Micahmatthew couldn't even use his computer because of crashing from installing the gpu driver from the FIRST boot from a windows 7 install. hmmm? its AMD along with clevo designing their laptop to depened on AMD's very own pos enduro.

    consumers that payed $1700 and over have the right to complain that their laptops gpu dont even work right atleast with the clevo computer, if we knew about this problem the people that bought the 7970m would have been reduced to atleast half the amount, or atleast bought an alienware 7970m instead.
