New DVI monitor with 9800 Pro

I just got a nice Sony TFT Flat Panel monitor today, I have it hooked up
using the DVI connectors. Apparently DVI mode is locked at 60 Hz that
doesn't seem to be a problem and from what I've read that's the way it's
supposed to be.
My problem is triple buffering and VSync. With Doom 3 triple buffering
doesn't seem to work any more. When I look at the fps it's either 60 or
30. Now with a D3D game, FarCry, I can't seem to get VSync turned on.
With it forced in the Control Panel and turned on in the game options,
it's still not synced. Framerates are reaching well over 60, when just
at the menu screen and r_displayInfo 1, the framerate counter is around
300, that doesn't happen with VSync enabled.

I'm using the latest Omega drivers based on the 8.07 beta release. Does
any of this sound familiar to anyone. Right now with triple buffering
not really working I'm just living with VSync turned off (I'm not
noticing that much tearing).

Well I replaced the atioglxx.dll with the one from the 4.91 hotfix
drivers and triple buffering seems to be working again.
