    Okay so I'm sure you guys a very familiar with this card, from what I've read in this thread http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=74146 the clock speed is supposed to be 450? However with this app I have (SIW) it's showing that the card is only at 400.

    Also going back to that thread mastha212 was getting 47fps on FEAR with everything turned up except soft shadows? Most I get is 24 and on average like 12. If anyone has any information on any of this it would be greatly appreciated.

    The DAC is not your GPU. Use GPU-z and it can give you the correct information.

    Okay that answers one question, thanks for that =] still wondering how he got that performance on those games though. I'm tried official drivers and Omega drives and I get nothing that good.
