Hey dondah do me a favor and run some Vantage marks on your machine for us when you get a chance . just the basic performance one at default . We have been using this score alot lately to really prove a systems power.because its not heavily influenced by the CPU at all.

 

understandable. but i just ran it and it is lower. i guess i am doing something wrong Lol. i know this tool is buggy but i know it works if you change the settings in the game and then run it.

Run #1- DX10 1900x1200 AA=No AA, 32 bit test, Quality: VeryHigh ~~ Overall Average FPS: 13.535

i am going to do some tweaks and see what happens. and i am going to disable AI and see what happens.

here is mhoopers the second post at the bottom.
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=319161

ok quad lets say it is like dmc4 were the cpu doesnt matter. then why did when i pulled off my crossfire cable i got the same score? i understand what you mean but then again i don't becuase of all the benchmarks i see. i am going to look for e-wrecked's and then do some more benching

 

i can dmc4 since it doesnt use the cpu at all but i have a problem with vantage at the last test when it is going to show the benchmark it has an error. so i never got a chance to complete it.

 

Disable the second GPU in the device manager and again monitor your temps forget catalyst AI or anything else . Run crysis tell me if your temps move on the second card ? and again when you pulled the cable did your second card heat up or not ?.

 

If your running fraps it will crap out at the end so turn it off . and also just run the GPU tests and disable the CPU ones.

 

ok i didn't it was fraps the whole time. Lol. ok i will but i am going to disable the card in the device manger 1st for crysis. and then post and then run vantage.

edit: disabling my card caused my system to run at 800*600 and i couldn't set it to native. i heard that disabling AI will turn off the slave.

 

your problem is your running the wrong resolution now...we are running 1920x1080...try that and see what you come back with.

 

ok rerunning benchmark and i do not remember what my temps were when i pulled off the cable. if i find a screw driver i don't mind doing it again. i just don't want to pull out the gpu since i don't have thermal paste to reapply and i am alittle lazy.

Run #1- DX10 1920x1080 AA=No AA, 32 bit test, Quality: VeryHigh ~~ Overall Average FPS: 13.795

ok i got .2fps higher then before. what should i do pull off the cable and run it or install vantage (i have it downloaded already i have to install it.)

 

looks like you may be able to pull in 20 plus frames with dual cards.
run vantage.

 

ok i just installed vantage give me a little.

 

ok i have to reinstall my drivers. i am getting flickers and in the first test the water disappears and come backs and it looks like it is boiling. (don't ask me how.)

 

ok wait...your telling me that crysis does not support dual ati crossfire 4870 cars on the asus w90 and it runs @ 30fps very high 1920 1200 res while the sager 9262 can get 50fps on high with that resolution and ur telling me the asus is better?

can anyone confirm this? does crysis support crossfire 4870 dual? what is the fps maxed out or high for 1920 x 1200 w90 asus if it does support on crossfire on actual gameplay compared to the sager 9262?

 

check your clocks and see that everything is stock
sorry if i didn't see it, but which drivers did you install...

also, can you open this up in the ocz section so as not to take away from the w90 here... just send me the link and i repost there.

 

I'm going to order a w90 from xotic pc, but my only dilemma is the processor, I really like that qx9300, but the price keeps eating away at me. I keep telling my self to go with the q9000. Whats the consensus around here, is the qx worth its price???

 

The QX9300 is certainly not worth the price for most consumers. The Q9000 is plenty for now, and with a bit of overclocking, you can even surpass the clock frequencies of the QX9300.

If you still feel inclined to getting the QX9300, I'd suggest purchasing one a ES QX9300 from ebay for $399

He had his info wrong GTO and you will have to look back at all the other posts that followed his original, guess you missed all those.

 

Heya, well 1st of all I dont post much but have been soaking up all the info here, great stuff, have owned my Asus W90VP-A1 for about 2 weeks, got it from xotic.

Couple questions...where can I get a second power supply for this beast, I lug it to my office every day and home at night, and well, just would be nice to leave a power supply at each place. Second, I have the OC'ng guide with the new setfsb, wondering, if I bump this thing to say 2.5 or so..how much risk am I takeing of damaging the cpu ?

Thanks all, and even though I dont have much rep to spread, its all much appreciated.

 

Crysis is working with crossfire, when I did a single card run scores were lower, however it definitly does not scale as well as Nvidia SLI on that game, but its a Nvidia optimized game so what do you expect?

Crysis is pretty much the only game this laptop does not do so well in, if you plan the entire future of your gaming career to be playing the same 6 hour game through over and over again, then maybe it should be a big factor in determining what laptop to buy, otherwise back up some and look at the big picture and other game benchmarks aswell.

 

Oh man this one had me rolling hard . The game is awesome at highsettings and no one in there right mind looking to the play the game all the way through is going to be playing @veryhigh thru the whole of the campaign because there are parts of the game where it will bring any laptop to a crawl.

 

Ok, my lappy if finally home (have I mentioned how useless UPS is in actually delivering packages)? After WoW and iTunes are loaded onto it, it will be on its way here to me! Hopefully in 2 weeks i will have it!!!

 

exactly why i say bench crysis in high mode. this is a good starting ground for that game. benching very high is to show it can run it. magnus seemed to be one of the best tweakers of that game. have you getting like 30 plus frames on a dell d600 or something...lol

 

Maybe somebody should bench crysis with the CCC pack installed, I never used it but its supposed to raise FPS a good amount while retaining (or even gaining) visual quality.

 

very true..plenty of optimized configs floating around..that's for sure.

 

Think about this:
In three years netbooks will be playing Crysis at 40fps on all high. I remember changing my GPU on my desktop for NFS3. This is a never ending story but I am glad you guys are making everybody to want one of these powerful machines. That is how you sell a laptop to the same customer once a year.

 

Thank you. After flash the bios it worked.
However, I still get three EIO errors. What is EIO and how can I fix that issue?
Thank you

 

Uninstall your turbo gear vga driver from the add remove programs then just reinstall it if you want . it has no real value to the performance but some may want it there for peace of mind or what have you. I did not have 3 instances of the EIO driver like you did i only had 2 .

 

Thank you for your help Quadzilla !!
I'll try that right now.

 

Thank you Quadzilla.
It worked !!
You're the best !!
Can I ask you one more question?
What is the Atitool driver?
and how can I fix this?
Thank you.

 

i see the w90 was a good choice. told you you would like it fatmandoo.

 

Yes, johnksss.
It was indeed a good choice. I don't regret it.. just to get this beauty, I sold my 7811, asus eee 901 and two days old samsung nc10 to my buddies..
I like it very much.
Thank you for your advise prior to purchase this.

 

hmm Good question as i dont have it . well since it has an exclamation next to it unistall it and just make sure everything was running as before .

 

Just like it says, it's the Atitool driver. When you install the program it adds a driver to your device manager.

 

no problem!
i also see you ended up with a nice score on that gateway...told you you could do far better than what you had.. just have to have a little faith is all..

 

I just uninstalled the atitool driver and it's gone from the device manager.
It looks good now..
Thank you Quadzilla & Jlbrightbill.

Thank you johnksss. You've helped me a lot with my beloved 7811.
My friend is playing wow on it and he loves it.

 

*wondering when jlbrightbill is going to take the plunge*

 

nope. not i. my laptop is still a conder at this point. but what im missing or lacking rather is cpu/fsb over clocking. so thats what was grabbing my attention. and these new systems coming out have that, where as mine doesn't.

 

guys, just powered up my X2! Quick question, my Ati catalyst says I have 4870x2, but shows only 512vram, where do i find second card, and why doesn;t it say 1048mb?

 

Thaks, was trying out Lost planet, did very good, at 60 FPS all maxed, the only thing is in the menu it screen twiches, I wander is it menu that set up or someting wrong with my card/s?

 

Hey guys I ask again has anybody tried to install XP 32 on the W90 yet.
Iwas wondering if XP drivers are availible

 

I have the same issue. When I disabled one gpu, no more screen shakes/twitching/glitches..
After I update to 9.4, it is less but still get that unstable screen at menu during playing GRID..

 

I also want to install XP and make dual boot.. however finding drivers gonna be pain in the S..

 

Maybe we do have a defective card..maybe need new bios or drivers..
I'll wait and see until I actually use the warranty...

 

What's so special about gentech or xoticpc?

 

There just very good people and there available to you on the forums and can answer questions that may come up or help resolve issues you may have etc etc etc.

 

yeah, just dont go saying you didn't do any thing stuff because they can read very well and frequent the forums...lol
be honest and upfront and they will help you. these people go a long way in keeping a satisfied customer...satisfied...even if the customer is wrong...

 

Yep i ordered mine from xotic and they are very helpful ank knowledgeable. Thats rare nowadays, good customer service
