20k 3DMark 06 with a Asus W90 notebook

[-=$tr|k3r=-]

Notebook overclocking is good for your nerves, very relaxing I recommend this to anyone who feels stressed about overclocking.

Pretty amazed by the thermal solution of this notebook, almost 4GHz (!) with a quad-core cpu, just standing there on the desk.

The Mobility 4870X2 is running at 600MHz gpu and 1800MHz memory clocks.

Kinc,

Here in the U.S., 19Feb 2009, the ASUS W90Vp-X1 was released. The remarkable marks you have reported here is somewhat a mystery to us, as many of the units sold here are suffering with random start-up boot freezes, and stability issues.

ASUS says these lock-up's are due to the ATI 4870 (8.551.2.0) drivers, and the TurboGear VGA driver, and to date there is no resolution. ASUS continues to promise new drivers, but patience has worn thin with most folks. As of late, ASUS Notebook Tech Support now states there may be a hardware issue.... ??? (unspecified)

Since you are with ASUS Marketing, I was thinking the drivers on your featured W90VP were perhaps different.....???

Anyhow, I was wondering if you could help us out with any advice and guidance. Also, I was wonder which version ATI driver you were using, or if they are modded drivers. Additionally, the TurboGear info would be helpful as well. Did you have the TurboGear VGA driver uninstalled? Also, any driver links that could be provided would be SUPER, as the posted ASUS drivers on their site appear to be no help.

Also, the W90Vp-X1 was marketed, advertised, and released, as providing the "ATI Mobility™ Radeon® HD 4870, 1024MB of GDDR3". With regard to the graphics solution, I was wondering if you could answer the following questions:

1.) In the W90VP that you feature here, were you using the SAME 4870's as specified above?

2.) Have the 4870 graphics cards of the W90Vp-X1, been passed through ATI's certification program?

3.) Do these same cards use separate master and slave bios, and if so, are the bios available for download?

4.) Can you please provide me the specific clocks of the W90Vp-X1 cards, and is the speed information from GPU-Z, actually being downclocked by TurboGear..... as with the system memory?

5.) Will switching the two 4870 cards within the W90Vp-X1, one for the other, void my warranty?


Any information you could please pass on, I would be exceedingly grateful.

Thank you & Best Regards!
