Re: 7690M GPU = HP HORRIBLE DRIVER SUPPORT

[ Edited ]

THERMAL PASTE: all laptop companies use horrible thermal paste. When i bought my HP its max temp hit 82C under high strain. If I notice my cpu ever reach 85C then I know that the thermal paste is wearing down and I need to apply new thermal paste. I have normally noticed a 4-6 degree drop when I apply Arctic Silver 5 to my computers.

HP RECOMMENDATION DONT BUY!!! I have the Dv7t-0c00 Quad and i have had issues finding good drivers, have game hangs, and I have seen too many issues on these forums, and HP does nothing to resolve these issues. HORRIBLE TECH SUPPORT!!!

HP RECOMMENDATION DON'T BUY!!! I have the Dv7t-0c00 Quad and i have had issues finding good drivers, but have had no hardware issues, and it runs my games beautifully but I have seen too many issues on these forums, and HP does nothing to resolve these issues. HORRIBLE TECH SUPPORT!!!

Yo man,
I have finally given up on waiting for "Hp to post new 7690mXt driver" I have done what you told me.

I have downloaded the 12.3 Catalyst pre-review.

Yes, it did register my 7690 as 7600m series. 
Yes, it did nurf the clock speed from 900 to 800. (even better GPU will probably overheat less nov :smileyhappy: )

BUT EVERYTHING RUNS INSAINLY FASTER NOW ! We are talking in 15%fps increase and no screen tearing.

100mhz wont miss yaa

Thnx man.

ps -tried to ask for new driver date release on ATI forum. They were lets just say "less then co-operative and polite with me" :smileywink:

Re: 7690M GPU = HP HORRIBLE DRIVER SUPPORT

Yes. I am waiting for diablo 3. I think it should work fine. If it doesn't, I wouldn't be surprised that this thread will break records.
