Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
I think my main card idles around 52 and the 2nd card idles at about 42
Is that odd for the cards not to idle at around the same temps?
The statement you made that I put in "bold" is that in response to my situation i.e. not working in my game or with your rig?

Oh ok. my bad i know you have tried all the drivers so i wont recomend any. but how does 9.2 handle on your rig? ati's drivers are tricky.
but when you have everything set i'm ready to destroy you in FC2. (benchmarks and gameplay.)

this guy might be busy atm, as he was for asus on their cebit stand, running some shows...
beside of that: i sent emails to asus local sales&marketing and get no rsponse for almost one week now, and i know of others, not being answered by asus at all.
afaik the cooling system works quite efficient, and no probs had been reported so far with it. the cards are cool, and the temperature-differences are normal if one card is working and the other ideling.
for the inf-string:
is the string with the driver provided on the backup-image different than the one contained in the actual driver from the asus homepage?
if so, then maybe the string from the driver in the f9-image has the correct string, as asus technical-support always advised to use especialy this driver. -
striker, as for the "misleading-advertisement" discussion: dunno if this will help you for your request on asus, but:
1.) for the gddr3 vs gddr5: we thought, that it would not make so much difference but see here:
http://www.notebookjournal.de/storage/show/image/image496b10ee9ca5f
amd/ati is saying, that there IS a difference in performance. if you can proof, that you been mislead by thinking that a 4870 has to have gddr5 then maybe this will help you if youre trying to make demands on them.
oh, and atm, the specifications on the asus website show "ATI Mobility™ Radeon® HD 4870, 1024MB VRAM " but dont mention, that there is 2 cards with 512 mb vram, so the specifications is not definite imho. iirc there was hd 4870x2 mentioned before, which was aslo not definite, as we had no idea if its one card wit 2 gpu and the connecionchip on it or 2 crossfired singlecards.
2.) for the press release: cant find it in english, but at least here we had this misleading press-release from asus ( http://de.asus.com/news_show.aspx?id=14593)here is the graphics adapter shown correctly as "ATI Radeon 4870X2 Crossfire Grafikcard including 2 x 512 MB Videoram".
But they also claim, that they would reach 20.284 3dmarks with this machine overclocked with an "Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Prozessor", wich is not true. they reached this result with an oced QUAD-core processor on 4 GHz - even if they reached this score at all. So one buying this machine based on the asus official-press-release would expect to get this 20k while this is "the actualy fastest notebook on earth".
its like having advertisingbrochure for a volkswagen with 90 ps (horsepower) to be "the fastest car on earth" but forget to mention, that this is only with the tuned lamborghini-engine which is not included
so much for the misleading marketing, or the truth of asus advertising. -
i found another video from cebit with an interview of an asus sales-rep: he said:" the asus w90 is the first notebook to reach 15.000 3dmark06". an i was thinking, that the m17 was the one reaching +16k before that
i can post the link, but its not your language...
he also mentioned prices for our local market, for the w90 to start with minimum specifications, a p8400 at about 2000€, and the m90 with one ati mobility radeon hd 4650 at about 1500€. -

votekick..... fail
voteban.....fail
awwwwwwwww
well, i still dont have crossfire under windows xp, and i still get freeze ups under vista.
is there any sort of guide for modding ATI drivers? i have changed the driver.dat, .ini's etc but still refuses to work
also, is there a quality bios editor and flasher that would support these cards? -
Ok guys, I got my laptop finally last Friday and have not had a lockup to date. A game did though lock up on WoW once and I had to ALT-TAB out and restart the program. I have played these games so far: WoW, CoH, FEAR 2, L4D, and HL2. The system seems stable as I ran WoW Raiding for 8 hours straight on Saturday and experienced no lockups.
Note: For those of you that feel the need to bicker and whine in this thread please stop. Many of us come here to read up on stability and reviews and don't appreciated having to scan through 10 pages at a time for one small bit of information. I have been reading this thread since page one and this has just gotten out of control.
Cliffs:
1. Not 100% of these are failing.
2. Games look pretty sexy on this
3. Don't post if its not helpful or pertinent.
4. Feel free to flame me.
