    Hi guys,

    I tried to install a new 7970m driver through this links: AMD Catalyst. But it said "AMD ctalyst mobility cannot be downloaded due to incompatible hardware/software on your computer." Does anyone know why?

    Thanks

    The card is currently still not officially supported by AMD yet. Hence that utility can't find your 7970m. It's frustrating but everyone's waiting for an updated driver release.

    Which drivers are you guys currently on? (AMD 7970M on Sager NP9170)
    & which ones are working best for Skyrim?

    Can someone provide links?
