if you wondering why hte 9800 is only a little faster, it's because your using a radeon in opengl.... nvidia is still worlds ahead of ati in this area. Ati is faster in d3d.... but seems to not care much about fixing opengl problems.. My old 4200 blows away my 9700 in d3(and i was at least able to u...

I have the BEFSR41 and it works ok for anything except PNP programs. It seems unless i reset the router, I cant get any programs to work properly. A good example of this is a simple file tranfer with msn messenger....

The 3.10 drivers from ATI havent worked very well for me, games such as WHo wants to be a millionair(wifes game) just get a black screen... luckly the omega 3.10's work just fine. Mobius, if you check the list of games you list there, d3 is the only open-gl game. the rest are d3d, and as i stated ab...

I've used 3.5 on up and have had no luck.... I remember way back last year that it was stated that opengl was broken if 16 bit color was used in games(and of course d3 defaults to that)but suppodedly it was fixed. Over at rage 3d, from what i have read, there seems to still be major issues with anti...

no even the 9700 dont have enough power to run d3d, and if you have ever used it you would notice that every few seconds the game will choke. I pointed this out while the 1.4 patch was being made but it was found to be a major bug with the d3d part of the 3d engine and will never be fixed(this is mu...

the ablilty to select 32 bit and have it stay on 32 bit color would be nice to have fixed. it is a kinda annoying bug to have to set it every time you start a level....
