    hey guys to start off i do not own a sager, but i do own a laptop with the 675m and ive been having difficulties..

    ive been playing diablo 3 and it seems like when i sometimes teleport back into town, i get these weird white frames that show for a split second and then its gone. its happened several times and now when i try to recreate it, doesnt seem to work. anyone know of any issues with possibly the driver or something that causes this?

    what laptop do you own then and what spec.
    i know we offer the best advice here but if you dont own a clevo it might be best to post in the gaming thread HERE

    you could also follow my clean install walkthrough below as that does sound like a driver issue.

    i own the samsung gamer 7, but not too many people onthis forum own it compared to sagers w/675m so i was hoping that the sager thread would be wayyy more helpful.

    follow my walk through in my sig and the nvidia link gives you a list of the last 10-15 drivers so you have a choice of whql or beta.
    the white artifacts or frames sure sound like a driver problem.

    Hi Shuru
    firstly click > http://forum.notebookreview.com/8534542-post8.html

    then to find the drivers click > NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Advanced Search

    just double checked myself and as you have a 675 there are only 2 beta drivers there so you are correct.

    the more drivers that are released they will be added to that list.
    if i search for a 2xx driver or even a 4xx driver there are lots to chose from.

    as your is such a new graphics card it might be worth sticking with the one it shipped with until a whql driver is released from nvidia.

    sorry for the confusion.

    You might also want to ask on the Blizzard forums to see if anyone else is having the same issue.

    Do you have this problem in other games, or just D3?
