Congratulations :) When the 7970M problems are solved you'll have a great machine at a very good price.

If you have time, will you add a review or let us know how you are getting on with it?

What niggles are you having ?

I know there are or at least were problems with DX11 but DX9 served me well, I only ever used the Clevo drivers for Win8 released 24/11/2012 which I never had any any problems with other than DX11 acting up.

The lastest WHQL was released a few days ago, there is a thread stickied in Forum > Technical Support > Laptops/Notebook
