Hi guys, I have recently gotten a laptop for multimedia purposes (gaming, clerical work and editing)

These are the specs

i-720 1.6ghz (turbo mode 2.8ghz)
4GB DDR 3 RAM
500GB 7200 rpm
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730
Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Adobe CS4

Whenever I edit on Premiere cs4 and use the tilde key to make one section of the window full screen (such as video) it lags horribly.

I got a similar effect on my ATI Radeon 3450 on my desktop and it stopped when I upgraded to a Geforce 250 GTS card.

I'm hoping this is not a trait of the ATI Radeon cards as this card in my system gets 9000 in 3dmark06 and therefore is a medium level high end card and thus it would be an absolute waste if I am unable to edit full screen on this system (I will be attaching an external monitor to this system) .

Is there anyone who uses an ATI card to edit on Premiere cs4 and if so what have you done to ensure full and proper quality playback?
 
I have a 3870 and no problems since I downgraded the the driver to Catalyst 9.3, with the latest driver I had the same problems as you are describing. There are many threads on DFC user and other forums about problems with ATI Radeon, what I have learned is with Nvidea many problems do not occur. For my part I came to the conclusion that ATI is probabely good in making graphic cards but their drivers in vombination with PPro are terrible.
 
Here is the link, but I am afraid for the 5700 mobile Radeon series there is no 9.3 available. You find 10.4 here: http://support.amd.com/de/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx

I had it on my computer for a while, 2D performance was slightly better than with 10.3

Here you'll find the 9.3 Catalyst, but this is for PCIe Radeon only so I do not know if it runs with mobile graphics. Good luck.

It doesn't. I'm stuck with 10.4 drivers until AMD/ATI addresses the problem. I have emailed them several times stating the issue but they always email back saying that I should stick with stock drivers for my system. Unfortunately, the stock drivers do the same thing.

I almost feel like sending this laptop back for a NVidia version.
 
im using a 5770; no problems at all in fullscreen mode. this is an AMD quad core desktop however.
 
Hmm, that's good you are getting no issues. At least I know now that I should be getting good performance with my card. What driver version are you using? I heard it has a lot to do with the drivers and hopefully with both of us on a 5 series (mine mobile however) I could get that driver and finally get some good full screen editing going :)


Update from AMD is that they'll contact Asus to check out their modified drivers and to see if they can get it to work properly with CS4/CS5 Premiere Pro, however, I think they are just going to make sure it can show a video and then call it fine.
