    Just got my Sager NP9170 and i love it and am obviously doing everything I can to get completely acclimated with the new laptop. I have a couple of questions I hope you guys could help me with. 1) Is it normal to have intel 4000 graphics show up under gpu when i run dxdiag? 2) Its annoying to have to setup high performance for each individual program, is there anyway to set high performance always? 3) whats the best driver for the radeon 7970, when i try to download 12.6 catalyst it says my gpu doesnt support it? Thanks guys.

    1.Yes. That's Enduro. There's an integrated GPU to save on power. You set it to switch applications to the Radeon in the switchable graphics menu.

    2. Not that I know of yet. It's just Enduro sucking.

    3. Don't know, still using stock drivers.
