    For anyone who is interested, I thought I would pass this along. :)

    Version 8.700.0.0

    Posted on 6/11/10

    I'm guessing this is Catalyst 10.2? In ASUS's download section, it's under Notebooks - Drivers - VGA.

    It should be the top one. Can't post a direct link to it as ASUS's website is funky that way.

    The driver doesn't support the 5870 natively. :( It supports the following cards:

    "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 Hybrid x2" = ati2mtag_M72, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_95C4&SUBSYS_18751043
    "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200" = ati2mtag_RS880M, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9712&SUBSYS_1B621043
    "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 " = ati2mtag_RS880M, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9712&SUBSYS_1B621043
    "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 " = ati2mtag_RS880M, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9712&SUBSYS_1B621043
    "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4225" = ati2mtag_RS880M, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9712&SUBSYS_84521043
    "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570" = ati2mtag_M9x, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9553&SUBSYS_1B221043
    "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 " = ati2mtag_M9x_PRAA, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9553&SUBSYS_1B321043
    "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 " = ati2mtag_M9x, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9553&SUBSYS_1B321043
    "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 " = ati2mtag_M9x, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9553&SUBSYS_1B321043
    "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 " = ati2mtag_M9x, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9553&SUBSYS_1B421043
    "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 " = ati2mtag_M9x, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9553&SUBSYS_84501043
    "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650" = ati2mtag_M9x, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9480&SUBSYS_1B021043
    "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670" = ati2mtag_M9x, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9488&SUBSYS_1BB21043
    "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5145" = ati2mtag_M9x, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9553&SUBSYS_1C421043
    "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5430" = ati2mtag_Manhattan, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_68E1&SUBSYS_84511043
    "ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics" = ati2mtag_RS780M, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9612&SUBSYS_1B121043
    "ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics " = ati2mtag_RS780M, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9612&SUBSYS_10621043
    "ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics " = ati2mtag_RS780M, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9612&SUBSYS_10621043
    "ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics " = ati2mtag_RS780M, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9612&SUBSYS_1B121043

    ZOMG they are butt-slow with driver updates. Uhmm, has anyone noticed the utter lack of HD5870M support?

    Thread title needs editing to stave off the disappointment I now feel in the pit of my belly.

    If Asus would just release a VBios fix I am fine with depending on ATi and others to feed my need for updated drivers.

    Yeah, my bad on that one. When I went into the inf file after the fact and saw the tiny amount of cards supported I felt the same as you. :eek:
