    Yes, but is that absolutely the only place? Like on my Sony, I could just go to LaptopVideo2Go and get whatever the latest Forceware version was. Is there no way to do this with Toshiba?!?

    Sorry, I should have been more clear. The issue seems to only affect people with pre 5XXX crossfire setups. It took my my fps down to low teens, from a buttery smooth average of 40-50fps on medium setting @ 1920x1200

    Thank you for the link, it helped quite a bit, but there is still a very noticeable drop in FPS. Which makes it difficult to look around and shoot.

    I'm going to revert back to 10.5.

    anyone installed them on vaio laptops? mine won't work. Any workaround? I have the 10.5a but I need new one as I cannot play playzeek, it gives the hl.exe error.

    Thanks

    No noticeable performance increases/decreases from 10.3 for me but they seem to run 2-3C cooler.

    OK, has settled in with a couple of reboots. Really no noticeable difference on games or video.
