    So I have the e series 14p back from 2012 (non touch version) and I've had an issue I've never addressed to.
    My graphics card is a AMD Radeon 7670m (1gb) but it doesn't perform like one..
    examples would be like diablo 3 I have to turn it down to min settings and I go around 20-25 fps..
    I've checked with gpu-z and it says my gpu is running and I've definitely set my games to run on the gpu via catalyst control

    My guess is my drivers have problems.. I've checked latest drivers though Sony's vaio update app and the last video card driver update was back in 2012.. so I have my doubts
    Should I be going on AMD's website and be looking for a driver update? and are drivers for graphics cards specific towards a different laptops or does one driver update work for every laptop with that graphics card?
    thanks to anyone who can help, would like to finally get some decent frame rates while gaming haha
