Open the BIOS Setup(F10)>System Configuration>Switchable graphics mode
and then Toggle to FIXED MODE , Save and Exit
After reboot Plugin the laptop to Charger and right click to open Switchable graphics config and select High performance GPU and now rerun the WEI assessment then u will be getting 6.9 and with a bit of overclocking can get 7.0 :)

^^ I had been using Afterburner and speeds of 850/950. It was running stable. After I formatted the computer, didn't try that again, as I don't think overcloking is needed much as of now.

^^ Yes actually that is not required I just did it for experimental purpose and reverted back to stock clock speed as 6770 is just an awesome card

@rider : If you are using a cracked version of the games, you might need to change some file configs etc for full screen. I had the same problem with Mafia 2. I used 1360*768 windowed mode + ShiftWindow to run the game. It ran perfectly at all high settings. Got 40+ fps in Mafia 2 benchmark

hey guys has anyone tried out unofficial modded drivers from leshcat.blogspot.com
through it i can run opengl games through amd graphics card in dynamic switching mode also and this package updates both your intel and amd drivers :mrgreen:
and for dv6 through these drivers you can toggle fixed and dynamic mode of switching in catalyst control centre itself .
so all in all very good but before installing these drivers do wipe out your old amd drivers through driver sweeper

Hi,

Nice to see people getting serious about buying music but I have not asked for such smartass solution...A simple technical one would be much appreciated.

However, don't comment when you don't know, better keep your fingers busy when watching Sheila Ki Jawani :D

Dirt doesn't go to full screen on the fixed mode ... I used the 11.8 drivers when I played the game[switchable mode]..... ++ hey the game gets pertty boring after a while... try Driver sanfrancisco... it's at an entirely different level :)
