***M18x - AMD Crossfire (Driver Questions, Performance, Problems) Discussion Thread***

how long does your laptop take to load BF3 game ?
My laptop took like 1.5-2mins when it was 4gb ram
Now I just upgrade to 12gb ram but it still load hella slow.
Any idea ?

Hi tried the above on my system , still no brightness control after unistalling and reinstalling the OSD software .

Cheers.

 

Thanks for trying

 

No problem

 

I received my laptop back from the depot yesterday. Didn't get a chance to test it out yet but looks like they swapped out motherboard, heatsink, video cards and an LCD cable according to included paperwork.

 

i got my second m18x for my nephew and in display manager it showed dual 6970m's

did fresh reinstall etc etc and hwinfo64 is showing 6970m/6990m the unified shaders are 1120 but is this normal? can anybody confirm, or is dell just doing dirty .inf tricks, it claims blackcomb xt/pro btw.

 

Yes those are 6990Ms, 100%

They may show up as 6970Ms as accuracy is down to the programs used to report that string.

6970M are infact 6990Ms with 160 SPs cut off.

 

Just reinstalled the dell osd to see whether I could fix the brightness issue. No joy. was worth a shot though.

 

As posted before, for those (like myself) that need the brightness control, try: Change Monitor Brightness using DimScreen

It will do the work until the issue is resolved by Dellienware/AMD...
