    I tried the beta on my envy yesterday, even though I got a message that my 11.6 drivers were too old but it worked anyway.
    It wasn't butter smooth but was ok on Low

    I didnt play and just tested to see if it would work. I'll update the drivers when I have time.

    O the other hand, on my desktop with HD 6970, it looks great and plays great in ultra.
