    Good ol' AMD headaches. After 5870m, 7970m, AMD cannot convince me trust them to do something right for mobile users again.

    has nothing to do with that, just that MSI afterburner needed these additional .dll files to be used properly with the 7970M from a specific version onwards...

    had some really good times with that gpu! :)

    The birth of enduro was not an easy one :/ But I will be interested to see their next chips to at least inject some competition into the market again.

    I had one of the first 7970M cards in an MSI 16F2 (so no enduro), it was a dell card that did over 1ghz core on stock voltage. Typically with AMD I have found the early chips clock the best.
