Hello guys,
I just bought this laptop (ASUS K40AB). Yes the sticker does display ATI RADEON HD 4570. I've updated with the latest driver. I checked using GPU-Z, Windows Properties, ATI Catalyst, it says HD 3200. I've checked using a lot of things but it says my graphics is HD 3200. What is the problem? Or am I being cheated? Thanks. |

QUOTE(Archangelmc @ Jul 19 2009, 01:33 AM) I just got my K40ab from PC City in Kuching last week. Selling price at RM1999 and I add on another 2gb of ram which cost another RM85. hey thanks a lot. I'm downloading it now. I'll reply the results later The laptop itself comes with a beg and a mouse other then the laptop and the power cable. PC City was kind enough to throw in a bunch of free gift - notebook cooler, another mouse, lcd protector, lcd cleaner, usb 4-ports hub and keyboard protector. The LCD protector given to me was a 14.4" but can't fit the K40ab cause K40ab screen ratio is 16:9...HD size I suppose. So if you are buying LCD screen protector, do take note of that. I have a hard time get the HD4570 to show up also, tried a few drivers and it still don't work. CCC 4.5 will make it show up but it some how become extended monitor and I can in no way make it right. But at last I installed driver from ASUS international website and it is working fine. You can switch it with the power express thingy! ASUS K40ab VGA DRIVER Hope this little bit does give you some help!    |

Archangelmc, After I Installed the drivers from the link you gave me, the results are still the same. Can I know what windows you are using? And I cannot locate the power express thingy

I having problems with PowerXpress too, my only option is to disable the onboard GPU and just use the HD 4570 alone when I reinstall the driver and there's no PowerExpress. The previous driver has it but does not detect any 4570. What windows are you using? |

QUOTE(User_Xp @ Jul 20 2009, 10:01 AM) ok bro I've sold this notebook to my friend for RM1989 (not because it's no good, it's just because I sell it) and at first I had some problems with the drivers. Intalling windows was no problem at all. ATI CCC just recognized my graphics as HD 3200 only but not the HD 4570. The solution is I uninstalled the drivers, updated Windows reinstalled drivers and voila! This laptop is the best bargain I've ever seen. Best value per money.any trouble when using this lappy? such as when installing xp or vista? driver problems? hardware problem? Still to early to tell about hardware problems. Must use it continuously first. But with 2 years of warranty? Peace of mind. |
