    Can someone please link me the best drivers. Asus doesn't have anything usable other than what is in my system dated 2/17/09

    I don't want to overclock or anything fancy, just get the best drivers for framerates in gaming if possible.

    thanks a bunch ~

    Look on the first page of this section and you will see viciousUSMCs guide.

    My concern with his guide is that I do not want to overclock my system. All i want is the drivers updated. Asus tech support told me that I should not use the overclocking program or even click "yes" to start it up.

    I already had to RMA the unit the day after I bought it.. It came back friday with no hardware issues at all as reported from Asus. Today I called to find out why I only get 12-19 fps in Dalaran in Wow and my g1s gets 32-38 ..

    Only one card was enabled in BIOS,, I changed that with the rep on the phone, but it did nothing for fps ingame..

    My G1s with a 6800gt out preforms the W90 in frames. I even see the stutter in battlegrounds on the w90 when the G1s, sitting next to it, does not.
    Even the color is not as rich with these ATI cards..

    I'm uttterly disappointed. Actually thinking of selling it for less than what I paid at Newegg.

    Any interest, send me a PM.

    Just install the drivers without overclocking. You should be getting better frame rate, you have an issue to resolve. What is your vantage or 06 score? I would move up to the owners thread and post there, you will get more response.

    I wish I could tell you what my vantage or 06 score was.. I dont have those applications that i am aware of to check.
    Are they free to download?

    Asus sent me screenshots of "devil may cry" ,, and it was like 56-59 fps in every ss.

    thank you so much for your response on this issue ;-)

    Yep, free to download. A quick search will bring a number of links, your looking for 3dmark06 and vantage. Like I said if you move up to the owners section and jump in there is quite a bit of traffic there and I am sure you will get some good input.

    Looks like a single card to me. There has been an issue I know of with needing to reinstall drivers to get the second card lit up after (re)enabling in the bios. I would navigate to device manager and check to see if both cards are there followed by a driver install. It should work for both when you select the master but some have needed to select both cards and install drivers.

    edit, I see you are on the owners thread, good deal. The guys will get you fixed up.
