    the newest 12.7's are working great for me, the previous ones were very glitchy with diablo 3 for me. Just played 30 minutes with issues :D

    Having install issues here. Anyone else successful?

    I receive a "Control Center does not work with installed drivers" error. Also, when I put the PMD in notebook display mode, the system black screens. I have to undock the PMD to get picture back.

    The box was checked. Are you referring to the one on the bottom concerning the Metro crash??

    Right... anyway this ver. of drivers was not a big deal I personally uninstall it as it is not supporting HDMI on Z2, possibly the switching is broken as well .... thumb down < :(

    Please Can I use this driver with another computer than Sony? I have ASUS B43J, but there are no driver updates for switchable graphics since 2010.

    Hi I want to ask whether this drivers will allow to use two external displays with my sony vaio SE2F1E(Intel HD3000/RadeonHD6630M). Because stock Sony drivers dont allow that, and I can only choose to use one external monitor and internal one, but not two external monitors at the same time, although I can connect them separately on VGA and HDMI connectors, but not together.
    Can please someone confirm whether its possible to connect two external monitors in dual mode?

    Do the latest drivers impliment ATI's compression ? If so, has anyone noticed a boost with their PMD performance? "Games"

    When did AMD implement some sort of compression to their mobile GPU's? Is it similar to Optimus technology? When I google "ATI Compression" or "AMD compression", all I find is a tool to help create Mip-Maps ( The Compressonator | AMD)...

    Link would be appreciated :).
