Yes its an r3, some are and some are not it is very strange.

Oh I do apologise, I thought it was well known. I recently got my 7970m and installed it and now when I boot using the 7970m the screen even though its set to max brightness is much more dim than it should be. When I boot using the IGD then the screen works as it should. I have tried using multiple drivers, multiple settings in my bios (enabling IGD with sg/peg) and tried using hwinfo as some people have found fixes with these methods. The one breakthrough i have had is that when i get the grey lines after clocking too high i managed to get back to desktop without a reboot and the brightness was at its fullest. but when i used fn+5 to go down then try to go back up it was back to being dim. I have now found if i close my lid and send the computer to sleep then wake it the screen is also working at the correct brightness... so this must mean its a bios or driver related issue??? I was just wondering what your input is...

svl7, I don't suppose you could sort this brightness issue out by changing settings in the vbios? I know many people would much appreciate it.

Hey thanks for your quick reply and the welcome, So i check that the checksum of the new vbios is 5700 then i flash anyway (with fingers crossed)? Oh do you mean match the checksum against the checksum in the checksum word file and not against the checksum of the original card vbios? am i being a bit of a retard?

What can we do if the checksum doesn't match, im trying to flash a (dell)7970m with the 1075 bios and im receiving the checksum of 5000 for my current device. and all the checksums of the modded bios files are 5/6/7/8/000 Please help
