    I bought a Sager 2090 (stats below) recently and have a question. I see many posts about a notebook with the same graphics card that I have having a 16x.xx driver. When I try to install these drivers they say something like this driver doesn't have any supported devices, or something like that, and they don't install. That newest driver that I have gotten to work is a 156.66 from laptopvideo2go.com. I am just wondering if that is the newest driver I can install or what. Also, I can't seem to overclock with the 15x.xx drivers, only the 101.xx driver let me overclock with ATI Tools. So can you not overclock with the 15x.xx drivers? I know you can't overclock with the 16x.xx drivers at all. Also why are the newer drivers not installing? Thanks.
