    To the guys with the newest HP Envy 15, what resolution and settings are you using to play Battlefield 3?

    How do I make sure my AMD and not integrated GPU is employed during the game? I think someone mentioned some way of changing it to fixed on startup or something?

    I just finished installing it, so will update later, but you if you hit esc then f10 on startup (hit esc pretty much as soon as you hit power) and go into bios their is a setting for graphics mode, dynamic and fixed, fixed gives you better battery life and performance, but you have to tell it to switch and the screen blanks and flashes a few times and its done.

    Is anyone else having crashing problems with BF3? I've tried Catalyst 12.2, 12.3, and 12.4 and all of them randomly crash, sometimes with the "display driver stopped responding and has recovered" message. Anyone else get this and/or know workarounds?
