    I have my 6770m upgraded to 11.5b at last, and now I'm wondering if it is worth upgrading the intel integrated drivers. Flash HD is working fine for me with the integrated on battery saver mode, so I assume I'm getting decent performance(though I assume that the processor is doing most of the decoding, and it is a pretty powerful CPU!)

    How are you checking the version of your Intel drivers? Whether I use Device Manager or GPU-Z, driver version 8.830.6.2000 is reported (the same driver version for the Radeon).

    You go system information -> Components -> Display -> Intel -> Driver (read the subnote).

    15.22.1.2361 (8.15.10.2361) is close to the latest. Be advised you need 15.22 or later to take on the stability and feature improvements for the Intel HD.

    what do you mean by 15.22? is that a bios revision?

    That's the driver version for the Intel HD card, which HP have yet update to.
