Im sure they tried Windows 7 RTM by now on there ? and the ATI released mobility drivers , atleast i hope someone would have by now .

[ViciousXUSMC]

hummmm, has anyone tried flashing them the other way?
the second card as master and the first card as slave. (if that's possible.)

Oh you can but you wont be booting back up

I had to manually swap the cards when I had that setup and it was quite a task because the heatsink on the slave card prevented it from fitting in the master slot.

I am reading of between 15% and 25% boosty in games for the 9.6 drivers over the 9.4s

Is this a substantiated claim? and is it looking possible to get the 9.6s modded for the W90s?

dammn! i thought they we're probably the same. good you got it back right.

if the cards are the exact same i see no reason for the issue....

and the Xfire is handed through the MOBO correct?

if so ATI drivers might be having issues because of that

i use to think the same thing.
that's why we came up with the master/master vbios, but it seems things are changing yet again.

[The_Moo™]

the laptop cannot physicall change ...

need to re-mod the 9.8's witht he same practice as E wrecked used and then install(TRY)

[Quadzilla]

all that stuff has been tried Moo like doing what E-wrecked did etc but what im wondering is if anyone has tried the Windows 7 RTM(retail) client yet since they changed something from the beta releases of Win7 for xfire and the official ATI mobility drivers.

the problem is like all ati cards is the slave card.

according to what i see and my experience from the Ocz Whitebook(i know it doesn't have the same problem as the w90) but the main problem that i had was installing drivers to the slave card. it wasn't easy. mainly in windows 7 RC 7100 and up. i heard this issue is fixed but now on the w90 of course. and i heard it gives different errors.

i would like to dianose this issue with you all but i know that many people before me that has better knowlegde of what's going on has tried this but to no avail, it hasn't worked.


have any one tried different bios, since the M/M seemed to work for 9.4 has anyone tried the 4850 from the M17 or the Msi GT725??????????

if the device id is causing the problem or something deeper then that, then maybe the a different type of bios(the way the card is read) may fix this?

[johnksss]

no one wanted to try that when i brought it up back then...because it was the 4850 and not a 4870

this will probably still hold true today, im afraid...
