    Hi guys, i am looking for new laptop and among others i like new HP EliteBook 8560, it offers ati firepro M5950 and I'd like to now how firepro m5950 is going?? I've read that it is similar to 6770m, but specialized for CAD applications. will the power be the same in games? any drivers issues? Gaming is not my main priority but if I get new computer I'd like to play some newer games, like witcher 2 etc.. can someone explain it to me ??? thx a lot :)

    In a nutshell it works just like the 6770M. You can even install Catalyst drivers from ATI with a minimal softmod or even just install directly. You might only see like like a 2-3 FPS drop due to the CAD optimization with OpenGL, but really, I consider that negligible.
