    Hi Dannemand.

    I want to give LEEKms drivers a try but when I hit his sight. I get bombarded with so much options. I try a few but it seems I keep picking the wrong one. Which driver from the site do you recommend I try for my Np700z5a-S09.

    Thanks.

    Hi Legend,

    Sorry for the late response. I've been off NBR for a few days.

    The LeeKM driver I tested was AMD_Catalyst_13.11_Mobility_BetaV9.4_SG_Fix back in November, as described here and here. I am afraid I don't remember the details. I quickly post these things while I still remember them, knowing that I will forget them shortly after :eek:

    I just booted my Win8.1 test partition the other day and let it install all the various Microsoft updates (NOT yet including the new Spring Update 1). I saw that Windows update offered both an Intel HD3000 driver and an AMD 7400 series driver. As a test, I uninstalled my current AMD and Intel drivers (Programs and Features control panel) and let Windows Update do its thing. Lo and behold, everything seems to be working, including switchable graphics -- no LeeKM drivers, no disabling of Signature Enforcement and no dependence on Samsung. Ill have to test this further, particularly with the Spring Update 1 as well, but so far it seems that Microsoft is picking up the slack.

    Ah so you have discovered the same thing too. Ok I was wondering if I was the crazy one if everyone else had to use LEEKM. So I had thought maybe mine wasn't functioning right. Thus why I requested the choice. Well my errors will help someone else im sure :) .

    Ive been using it as this for 2 months and its good in my eyes. Well thanks for all the help. That turns out I didn't need. :) Don't you love happy endings.:thumbsup:

    Hi, I am hea




    Hi, I would like to tell you that you might of got the wrong one becuase the official one in 2012 has Nvidia optimus and with more than 4 ports one in Amazon that cost 2,000 dollars and you can buy that one it's great for office and gaming
