My opinion is every driver release gets slower frames on most games then the
older drivers did. Hmmm trying to get us to go out an upgrade hmmm. Sorry
ati not happening till youre next card is released in 20005. I cant see the
sense in doing so because 3dmark05 runs slow lol. I play games not
benchmarks the eye does not see beyond 30 fps. An youre drivers get slower
every time you release new set indicating the upgrades are now ment for the
newer cards optimizations because i dont see any improvement since the beta
8.07. Of course i am using benchmarks for comparison only. Not real world
game play like i get 82 fps no shadows medium setting @800by600 in doom 3
with my modded bios on 9700 pro. It is very playable @ 82 fps versus new
drivers running 73 fps what are you doing optimizing or trying to get people
buy new cards lol.
