Asus EAH4890 driver problems no aero

aus

Can you go to device manager (type device manager in search) and go to the display tab. See if the the driver is installed and working properly. If it isn't there look for any "unknown devices" with yellow triangles on them.

if everything is ok, try re-running wei. if wei ends up with the same score dont worry abt it. Its just a number and mine changes like the weather

Hi Ken,
yes driver is running well.. I know WEI is something i shouldnt be bothered with, but i think having a noticeably low WEI score coupled with having lack the AERO interface is coincidental.

hmm thanks anw.

Im sorry I thought wei only, lets try this again

lower wei with no aero IS somethng to be concerned about. Is there anything in event viewer that started about the same time as the aero fail? Any errors in evtvwr? Any hardware changes?

hi aus91blah,

i have an asus eah4890, and my graphics wei is 7.6

luckily for me, i have aero with no problems.

i suggest you download something like driver cleaner, which will totally remove all old drivers files hanging around your system, then download the latest 9.9 drivers from ati.

(oh, by the way, i didn't install the asus drivers/utilities as i found the voltage tweak didn't do much for my card except raise temperatures.)

Which you found and fixed. Glad you are working and thanks for posting it. We all have brain freeze sometime<g>

Again welcome to seven forums

I have the same card and have had similar problems.

My score is also 6.0 and running 3DMark 06 I get the following error:

IDirect3DDevice9::Present failed: Device lost (D3DERR_DEVICELOST)

I've tried numerous driver installs from latest ATi's, ASUS drivers and Guru3D drivers (back dated) and nothing seems to work. Esp with the latest ATi drivers I get an error when installing, stating installer cannot find a .INF file and quits mid install.

Strangely all my games run fine. And device manager correctly reports EAH4890 listed, driver working and no issues.

I don't have the Aero problem, Aero has been working fine from day 1 of this install of Windows 7
But the EAH4890 has me scratching my head ....
