Mobility Radeon 4870X2 - Asus W90 : the end of the tunnel

CBL · Nov 1, 2009, 12:57 PM

After a few months of angry open letters to AMD and Asus, the drivers problem of the M4870X2 of the Asus W90 is history.

Everything started here :
*Official ASUS W90Vp Owners' Lounge* - Page 999
when a german nice guy (probably working for Asus) provided us all the tools necessary to have decent drivers and CCC.

Here's the method.

1)Uninstall your driver and your ccc. Reboot to safe mode and clean everything's left with driver sweeper. Reboot again.

2)(optional) if you have followed the breaker guide to have a master/master config, get back to the original master/slave config :
W90 Limit Breaker Guide .V2

3)Flash your motherboard bios with this one :

Use Winflash if you have problem to access the rom from EZ Flash?

4)In Windows, launch this application and reboot:

It will flash your graphic card bios

5)You can now install reel drivers.
Use 9.11 modded with DHMod on Vista and 7

6)Enjoy !

Asus should really be utterly embarrassed about their total lack of support for this machine. I mentioned it to them last month.

I heard something about this, Welcome to DriverHeaven, and thanks for the tip. Hopefully it's helpful to users with this issue.

You're welcome !
A simple update to tell that 9.11 are out and that they work on 7 with this guide. I must try on Vista 64.
