I saw 'em this morning on warp2search and have been playing with them on and off all morning since 6am. (It's just about 2pm local time.) I'm currently starting aniso runs of 3dm2k1se.

(OUCH! 2x aniso is -500 points for me with these!)

I'm scoring about 100 points slower in 3dm2k1se, but UT2k3 in D3D and NOLF2 no longer lock up on me so who cares!

(I CAN PLAY UT2k3 AT 60+ FPS FOR AS LONG AS I WANT!!!!

)

DroneZ hit about 4 higher on it's minimum and about 5 higher on it's maximum...nothing big but a definate speed improvement.

The new control panel is sweet and so far seems to work. I'm still trying to get a handle on the whole set, but one thing I am sure about...I like em!

Yes shai, I saw that. Thanks.

Got a headstart on me huh Dig? If I'd have stayed up longer last night I could have got 'em at 2AM west coast time, but ...

DroneZ: slight improvement here too. UT2k3: 3 tries & won't finish. 3D Mark: 3 runs, avg 80-100pts lower. None were higher in any test. GLExcess: 1 run & it looks like w/slight tweeking I may be able to get a best ever. F1 2002 demo: runs fine, very detailed! Evo 4x4: runs fine, nice eye candy. So far except for UT2K3, so good.

UT2K3 might just be heat from the other tests/games & I'll try again later.

I have noticed that this driver is pretty. Things I didn't notice before, I do now. Texture quality is up w/o a fps drop. GQ: best nVidia driver I've used. Even (sorry O) better than Omega. Speed: not the fastest, but it is *real* close to being = to the 28.32 w/much better GQ.

I've also noticed that my frame rate stays consistent. No big sways from 12fps to 80fps. The benchech show higher lows & the games are more steady. Shame I can't get Riva to oc the driver & have to oc the hardware. Driver level always worked best for me.

How's GTA & I'm off to try NASCAR 2002 & Comanche 4 > wish me luck on Comanche.

These things keep a much more solid framerate for me in games & benches. I'm gonna throw them thru the UT2k3 tester wringer and see if I can crash the D3D side of it. (I'm scared I can...I WANT IT TO BE FIXED!)

I finally got thru UT2K3 bench. 2/3 the FPS of the 30.82 Omega, but killer graphics. BF 1942 likes it just fine & so did NASCAR 2002.

Comanche 4 had patches of white in places for texture & the rotor wash on the water was black instead of water spray. FPS was down too. It's a tough game for any card tho' & I did have it @ max detail 10x7 res.

These appear to be good drivers, eh Dig? Just a little tweekin' cuz they're beta, but ... Omega or WHQL should solve those problems. I really do like the GQ on these & the steady frame rate.

I sure would like to use Riva on the driver side. Got any ideas how?
