new catalyst drivers there is a new flava of driver @ ati now.....temporal anti-aliasing... release 2 days ago... personally i think it's crap.... details have been changed drastically... and if you have 3dmark03, check out the girls arms in test 3.... the cpu test looks better! (this may also just be due to the caqrd that i have...ASUS always releases thier own drivers for their card as their design as far away from the reference..no other XT has vivo). let me know what ya all think!

i found that my 128's mem won't go higher than yours.,...even though the mem is rated 4 400 mhz..i think i has to be cas 2.5 to make 400 and all the current biuoses thati have been able to find are set to a CAS of 2. don't have a vpu that will top 420...so you got a golden one if that is stock. do you know what the vpu voltage is?

i have the side panel fan too.. but the heatsink on these asus cards is HUGE...big copper plate, alum sinkd, and a heatpipe on the vpu side between the 2 alum heatsinks. i've got 1.72v....so i gotta v-mod before i can get higher.(stock xt!)

that';s another thing that baffles me...with the extra power connector, why is it that we still ahve issues when clocking ram and vpu to the max? the only reason for having to lower one to get the other higher is because the card can't get more voltage.. i'm pretty sure that should you cool that puppy better and give it 1.9v you'd get to 525 or so....but you'd only notice a performance difference of about 1-5 fps...until you up resolution and AF/AA

temporal aa has been in the previous few drivers if you knew where to look for it ;-) as for the 3dmark bug that was in the release notes for it. I've got the asus 9800xt too, vivo on it is rather good, shame ati's prog doesnt work as asus's is as buggy as 'eck. I'm using dscaler atm though which is neat K |

i prefer the 801 asus driver for my card...but i always install the enhanced and don't delete it first. this get my asus 9800 pro 5735 in 3dmark03...and i don't change the settings from the driver install. Far Cry is buggy @ best....even though all the updates and patches deal with one or another, i always have issues lately. the omega drivers don't all work well with the asus card when you enable anti-aliasing or antistropic filtering..it seems as though he forgets every second driver to remember the asus cards. the biggest problem that i have found with the newest and my card is OGL performance took a dip..about 9-12 fps in counterstrike and quake.
