    Today i´ve run my first futuremark benchmark on the new machine. Here i´ll post the link to the results.

    Two things - there´s an error message about the gpu driver - and the gpu is listed again as ATI Radeon 6770...

    Can the other owners also run this benchmark and post the results please?

    Hi Robin. Thanks for performing the benchmark test.

    I was wondering why is it showing "Graphics driver is not approved" on the page you linked.

    Probably because it's a customer driver due to the PMD and just isn't certified by Futuremark. They are probably concerned about people hacking drivers to get high scores.

    In the benchmark, the ATI GPU is listed as Radeon 6770 - maybe thats the problem?
