Blender Software not working on the 7970m

Hi , I am using the stock drivers on my new 7970m Graphics Card on my Clevo np9150. It does not render anything on this computer not even the lowest polygon models. This purchase has been extremely disappointing foe, because I had purchased this computer mainly graphics / modeling work and it fails to perform on even an acceptable level on that. Even a small rendering operation crashes the program. I have completed some renders on my old ty 9500Gt

AMD, Sager should be ashamed of themselves. They have misled, robbed their consumers. I am just too frustrated with this purchase, especially as it was such an expensive one.

Anyone else facing any such issues in similar softwares? Any other Blender3d users here? Any input on this thing would be welcome.

 

Hi,
I took a min to register and try to help you since I'm gonna use my laptop for modeling works as well on maya.
Unfortunately I'm still waiting for my laptop but I'll found some info that may help:

Bump for the modeling people..

 

I just tried . It works flawlessly . Have you set your computer to high performance ? . In switch graphics menu (right click where it can found ) have you set blender.exe to high peformance ? . I was trying other models and no lag at all . like this one
