Drivers are supporting so many series...What i meant was enduro technology is for latest GPUs(79XX,78XX and 77XX) and 7600M series wont have any benefits of it...

Ok, thanks. Was a little confused there, damn product names :)
But my intention was to point out that the default vision drivers by HP are currently more stable than the subsequent catalyst releases (12.8, 12.9 and the current beta11) and they also include the SATA, USB 3 and other chipset drivers.
The new dynamic switching tech might be just for the 28nm 7-series cards but Enduro is not just that, it's also supposed to bring a "unified" driver updates for an all-AMD laptop like ours (processor+ mobo+ graphics).
That's why I urged users to not update graphics until a stable unified version comes out :)

From AnandTech :
The biggest news with the latest iteration of Enduro is that AMD is planning to make universal reference drivers available for all the Enduro laptops. It’s not clear precisely what that means, but potentially any laptop with Dynamic Switchable Graphics or later (e.g. PX4.0 and later) would be supported by AMD’s “reference” drivers. That’s huge, and if AMD can deliver it will assuage most of our concerns with their hardware/software.

The default vision drivers are 12.6 version which is almost a year old..i subsequently updated 12.8,9,10 versions with slight improvement of performance
but did int face any issues..Even HP is recommending latest versions..The stability issues you mentioned are mostly faced by enduro series GPUs not older ones...So ii think its ok to update..

I think there is nothing much to expect for us..Even if a stable enduro driver comes out because we are too old.

It’s not clear precisely what that means

Even AnandTech dont have any idea:p all they claim is a universal reference driver..


Any was lets hope for the best..

read the reviews in first page. and as for max payne 3, check the first 10 pages. someone posted a lot about max payne 3 and offers playable FPS at low details.

hey all digitizers!
2010ax with no os and no drivers will give you lot of trouble. but get ready for the challenge..this laptop is worth it.;-)

Hey guys I just got the 2201ax...everything is great about this laptop...the only issue that I am having is with the display...I mean the texts aren't that sharp as I've seen on vaios and intel powered hps...even the round edges of images don't come crisp and sharp...like the gallery icon in win8 homescreen I don't knoww what to do...cuz the images andd texts are absolutely fine when playing games like the nfs most wanted 2012...the game is damn smooth on highest settings...

I've tried everything from cchecking resolution (which was at it's highest 1366xsomething) and ClearType is also already switched on...

I guess HP has done some serious compromise on the screen...I am really dissappointed :-(

do you have all prerequisites...its highly unlikely that its due to catalysts problem...

Sorry but vari-bright is already enbaled and switching it on/off doesn't make any difference...I am attaching a screen shot...don't know whether it'll show the problem or not but still... Screenshot.jpg

small texts like map...skydrive etc aren't clear at all...i feel like crying :-(
