    Hi, first of all sorry my inglish I'm Brazilian.

    I need some help, I'm waiting to get my notebook, 07-05-2012

    When I'm with him I will format it. and I have a doubt as to VGA drivers of the 7970m .

    I am required to install the drive that comes standard on the CD of Clevo?

    Or I can install direct this AMD Catalyst 12.x (9.00 June 12) Unofficial BETA - Guru3D.com Forums

    Tank you

    You have to install the drivers from the cd. Once that's installed you can install just the AMD driver on top from the 12.7 release, via the custom option in the 12.7 install.

    Factory driver from the CD has proven to be far more stable for me. I won't try a new driver until an official version is out and has been tested by forum members.

    I agree, for now the best thing you can do is stick with the CD provided drivers. many people who upgraded to a newer realese have got problems with it.
