For Dirt 3 you need to force DX9 to play in fullscreen.

Haha. Sometimes it did happened like that but then it will still keep the program running and you should be able to open back Dirt 3 right?
Sometimes I play LoL, it did happen like that and I just go into the program back and continue from there.
Wonder if that is a common problem for DV6 ?

changing registry again

err.. no. just need to change the config file.

..\Documents\My Games\DiRT3\hardwaresettings\hardware_settings_config.xml
open with Notepad and change <directx forcedx9="false" /> to <directx forcedx9="true" />

Then how about other games? If play other games, that AMD notification also came out?
What should we do about that ??

What notification?

One question, what model is the wifi come with this dv6 ? intel 6230 ?

nah.. i get Ralink RT5390. Not sure newer version use what card.

mayb he means the display driver not responding notification?

^ oh.. the workaround for Dirt 3 don't have anything to do with that notification.

means the force use dx9 is only apply for dirt 3 only?

^ err.. so far, yesh.

Yes. I was directing at the notification of the AMD Driver not responding stuff. Sometimes I play online games, I alt+tab out and it hang for awhile then only came out to the desktop. The notification did came out but I still can go in back to the game and continue from where I hanged for awhile earlier. The period of hanging is around 5-7 seconds. What do you think about this or what do you suggest to solve this problem?

Hmm, guys, I noticed that, after I done gaming with Crysis 2 and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, I quit to desktop and I experienced image tearing..

To solve this, I have to switch graphics, then it is back to normal...

Anyone else experience this ?

Could it be driver issues ? or CCC ? I've tried the driver on Windows Update, and even 11.5a but still the same issues ~

hi all,

is it this dv6 is suitable for me? very confius to choose. b4 this i wanna get N53 but heard many issue about the laptop.

so far is there any issue 4 the dv6? how about batery life? heating problem? thanks

hi dv6 users... getting a unit tmr
wanna ask u guys, how many hdd slots does the notebook have? can i put two hdd?

feel like wanna add another hdd.
possible?

nope

Hi there, bro. To be honest, you don't really need a 3k laptop for your needs. Get Asus laptop around 2.5 k or 2k. The specs for that kind of range will definitely satisfy your needs bro. Cheers

to be honest, I also have almost the same requirement like him..
i use for photo editting.. hahaha... i am a photographer..

but i choose dv6 cos i7.. can last longer.. dun wan change ad

Since you have chosen DV6, I can only say GOOD CHOICE!!
Indeed DV6 have quite a good performance but just to be honest.
Other laptops do have i7 too and RM3k just for photo editing is a little bit too much.
I get DV6 because I need it for After Effects, Cinema4D, hardcore gaming and bla bla.
So I only choose DV6 rather than my second choice of Dell XPS 15.
Just 2 cents of mine.
Get an affordable laptop that can be sufficient for the needs unless you really got more budget to be spent.
