    Welcome to NBR. While you're waiting for someone to find the link for you, and just in case no one wants to drop what they're doing to find it for you since you're probably capable of finding it yourself, try using the search feature of the forums. A first post asking for something that can be had with very little effort doesn't look good. It gives off that vibe that you will only frequent these forums when you need help again... like finding a link you can find yourself. Just a thought.

    Look at the driver sticky on this sub forum. All the drivers for your laptop are on there including AMD ones.

    A number of people are having poor performance with anything but stock drivers...my self included. Bf3 and civ v both crash on drivers other than stock.

    Stock drivers can be found on sager's website.

    My initial reaction was to call you rude for your response, since the search has not worked on here for soooo long, but I tried the search just to see if it finally worked, and for the first time since I have joined, yeah, it works! Thanks and I give a +1. I am very happy to see it works now. Must be the new update.

    Thank you. I joined recently and I've been using it. The times I find the search function in NBR inefficient, I use Google using these methods.

    But my goal wasn't to be rude, albeit I might have sounded frustrated, it was to help a newcomer learn the ropes.
