Had anybody played Assassins Creed 4 on this laptop.. If they have, does it run fine?
I'll only buy this game if I can run it on this lappy.

Yeah, i am using the 13.11beta9.4: *www2.ati.com/drivers/beta/amd_catalyst_13.11_mobility_betav9.4.exe
Remove the current drivers, use driver fusion if you want to, then install the new drivers, that's it..

Hey ratul could u post some benchmark test results and ill do the same so we can compare the performance of 13.1 and 13.11... Im still not sure if I want to upgrade unless there's a major performance increase

i'd suggest you to wait till the whole laptop blasts like a c4..
jk, i'd have called the dell cc and RMA'd for it, it's better to use the warranty, who knows that might be some dead pixel or something else?

i can't seem to uninstall my display driver 12.11 beta8, whenever i uninstall it from the control panel, the catalyst controller center starts uninstalling but when it gets to uninstalling the drivers the screen flickers ("as it should" i guess), but after that the screen goes black and does't come back instead after a while the laptop restarts.
Again i go to uninstall the drivers in the AMD CCC , it doesn't show any drivers to uninstall but the rest of the software's i still have to uninstall which i do 2-3 times until the CCC isn't shown in the control panel.
I ran driver sweeper restarted and tried installing 13.11 beta 9.5 but in the list of contents to be installed the drivers weren't being shown and this is the same with version 13.9,but when i run my old driver setup all the contents are there to be installed...that should mean that there are incompatibility issues for 13.11 and 13.9.
What do i do..Assassins Creed 4 keeps crashing, i saw in a forum that the drivers could be a problem and i should update my drivers..I need some advice guys plz HELP.

Use these steps-
1.download driver fusion and leshcat 13.1
2.shutdown and start laptop in safe mode
3.use driver fusion to uninstall
4.install leshcats 13.1 drivers
Read this too pls before doing anything- *www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&e...GBbOTN1toiVDLmlWYWA5_pA&bvm=bv.57799294,d.bmk

i have WIN 8
Thanks for the reply..I have Win 8..are you suggesting that i should uninstall the CCC using Driver fusion without uninstalling it from the control panel?
Also, do u guys update your onboard graphics card through windiows update?
the reason i ask is because i updated it once and it messed with the dedicated graphics card.

Never update graphics drivers through windows update, they messup the system, i'd say never update any driver through windows update.. (wifi, bluetooth etc., always try to download from OEM's website or the manufacturer's).
np btw dont uninstall from driver fusion first
1.uninstall from control panel
2.uninstall from driver fusion
3.proceed to install leshcat 13.1
i asked about windows 8 coz dont proceed fully with the manual found on leshcat
These are the steps for windows 8 which i copied from leshcats with ur windows 8 install in mind
Manual's graphics were taken from Windows 7 x64 Professional, you can easily find respective menus at Windows 8 with the help of Metro "Find" function (shortcut: Win+F).
GThis manual is also known as "Full Cleanup".
This simple guide will show you how to properly clean previous Brand/Custom Drivers so as to successfully install UnifL Drivers afterwards.
If you are currently using UnifL set, you can go directly to Updating from Previous UnifL Drivers page.
Requirements:
Driver Fusion
Steps:
1. Navigate the Control Panel, and delete drivers using Programs and Features.
Uninstall_standard
2. Locate & Select “AMD Catalyst Install Manager”, launch it and select "Express Uninstall ALL AMD Software". Execute it and follow instructions. Reboot.
ACIM
3. Download and install Driver Fusion. Launch it:
(GPlease note, there is no need for "Premium" version, all important files are deleted also in Free Version )
driver_fusion
4. Select "AMD" and "Intel" tabs: And hit "delete" button. Follow on-screen instructions.
driver_fusion1
GPlease note:
If some files are locked for deletion and Driver Fusion is offering to Buy Premium Edition - skip it and load your Windows in Safe Mode. Remaining files and registry settings can be deleted now.
However, if some of them wont delete like registry locks files - skip it, they are not that important.
This concludes cleaning with Driver Fusion.
Following below steps are only applicable only for Windows 7!
Windows 8 will install default AMD and Intel Drivers from its repositories.
Do not try to remove Windows 8 standard AMD and Intel Drivers as it might break Windows 8 ability to install Video Drivers!
If you have Windows 8 installed - you are done with cleaning procedures!
just stick with my above instructions and ull have great drivers up and running with no glitches etc

Thank you for the reply..but the thing is when i uninstall AMD CCC the screen flickers when the drivers are being uninstalled but the screen doesn't come back on(its on but there's no window being displayed).once i left it to its own after 10 minutes i checked on my laptop and it had restarted and the uninstallation was incomplete, the drivers had been uninstalled but the rest was still there in the control panel for me to uninstall again....and when i uninstalled it again a tried to install the latest driver it doesn't work(the list of things to be installed does not show the drivers)...but it works fine with the driver setup i had just uninstalled( the list of items to be installed is complete).
try safe mode should work coz the driver wont be in use
screen flicker is normal when u update/install/uninstall video card drivers but in ur case seems its failing to uninstall
i think revo uninstaller should do it but maybe someone else in the thread can confirm this just in case or u could make a restore point and try revo
