I have my FPS locked at 35. I get the same result regardless antialiasing and other goodies turned on or OFF. In my case (and that goes for the most of us here), the limit is set by the computer and it's memories.

I think that's an issue with ATI. I couldn't get video card settings to effect image quality or performance (when turning settings down).

My friend has a older Nvidia card and moving video card settings on that thing makes a HUGE difference in both areas.

It's not hard to determine if FSAA and AA is activated, but when I unlock the frames I see a difference in the FPS. Without the goodies turned on, I have well above 100fps at times, when they are activated it drops to around 45-50, but not below 35

And juggling with different drivers has finally made me a happy man (thanks Omega).

IF (and that's a big IF), I will buy a new card it will be the X800XT, only because I get a discount on ATi products.

Next year's card will be a X800XT for me as well,but I'm a convinced ATI-user...

NOOOO! Say it isn't so. Embarrassed

I can't believe you went to an Nvidia.... Grin

Switching video cards is like cheating on your spouse, in the end it is just expensive! Grin

Seriously, enjoy the new card... looks good to me...
