Possible Driver for HS 7970!

[Benadiction]

Hi guys and gals, I've found this driver for the 7970M after many many finger bashing searches online.

Just wanted to hear what the more experienced people on here thought about it, if it was worth getting or waiting for official ones from AMD.

If interested, please also view my review and pics of the Vortex III. http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?15334-Vortex-III-17-3-quot-Ordered!/page2

I'd personally wait, an hope AMD hurry, I know Alienware Drivers for HD 7970m perform well, but I'm not sure if they would be compatible

The comments look good to me, but install at your own risk, if something does go wrong, you may have potentially voided your warranty, although I can't confirm that

Aye just what I was thinking mate, would be interesting to hear what the guys at PCS think.

We cannot recommend any drivers other than the offical drivers supplied. Unless the drivers/software overclock the GPU which could potentially cause harm there is nothing ventured nothing gained in trying them. Worst case scenario is that your laptop will BSOD and you might need to re-install the drivers and/or the OS.

They are good. Definitely better then the one supplied by Clevo.

Happily using these drivers for a few days now, they seem to have improved performance too. +1
