Just in case anyone is interested. ATI released Catalyst drivers 5.6
yesterday. Supposed to increase performance in some games by 50%.

50%. That would be nice. 10% across the board would be even better.
I installed 5.6 and was a bit impressed. I downloaded the Far Cry
demo and gave it a try. I did not get very far and cried as it went
into VPU recovery mode and sent undeliverable email to
(e-mail address removed). First time I have seen my video card crash - a
Radeon 9700 Pro. Guess it may be time to move on if I want to play
any of the newer games.

Crashes are caused by overheating or a poorly setup system or
insufficent power supply - if your hardware is a bit slow then all you
should expect is poor performance not crashes.

Ive played Far Cry through on a 9700 without a single crash. On a
2ghz CPU with 1gb RAM you should be able to play 1024 med/high settings
very nicely. Crashes are caused by overheating or a poorly setup system or
insufficent power supply - if your hardware is a bit slow then all you
should expect
is poor performance not crashes.

Or the fact that you tried a DEMO. Those are not finished products, and
often can be unstable...
Performance wise, your 9700 Pro isn't bad at all (atleast it shouldn't be).
3dmark2005 is a test and is designed to load evey possible card out there.Alfred Kaufmann said:That is what I am starting to think too.
5 to 10 fps in parts of 3DMark05 is pretty pityful. If I had any game
with fps that low either the game would go into the garbage or I would
get a new video card.
I am looking at a 6800GT but do not want to go with AGP as that is
being phased out and PCI-E requires a new mortherboard, cpu... etc.
mucho dinaro! :-(

The frame rates are only an indication of perfomance wrt to other cards. No
game on the market will load a graphics card as much.
I think you should stop using "test only" software and look to use
benchmarks based upon real games, such as Aqaumark.
Stop trying to "spin". The detail of their publicity usually says something
like "increases performance of vertex processing by 50% in some games". That
does no means an increase of 50% in frame rates!

Just giving some info so people can check it out for themselves.
Jackass.

waay to sluggish and feels like.....lag! menues, games, startup, shutdown,
applications, eveything!!! WTF!!!
no AI in the non .net version, but better for sure.
what a mistake to go to the .net version.
