    Yeah, I'm current on everything except Cat. 4.3 and that is by choice. I'm using Omega 4.2 Drivers for the vid card. I tried the 4.3's and the Omega 4.2's seem better. I'm at SP1... don't know anything else to do....


    Read I've been playing around with the Anti Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering. I found that if I set them to 4x and 8x respectively and uncheck the 2 Application Performance boxes I get rid of the overwhelming majority of the "shimmering" amazing. Umm...
    My biggest problem is that I didn't get any directions (paperwork) at all with my card. Wall Bashing
    By the way don't forget to press "apply" to save your settings. Thumbs Up!

    Heh!

    I finally took the plunge and bought one too. Getting a US store to ship internationally is a right pain, though. I don't know whether the stress was worth the money I saved... Smile

    Thanks radarman, and all the others who helped a lot in sorting out all the technobabble over these cards.

    Rambunctious,
    That's super Thumbs Up! , I know that you'll be more than happy with your choice. So far these are the settings that I've chosen. I don't know too much about this but so far it works,
    (I hope the screen shots stay up, this is from a free host, I don't have my own website. Dont Know

    Guest so far this is it for me, I'll let you know when I get hold of a (expert) friend of mine. Rules

    Hello all. I am not much of a computer knowledgeable peson, so a lot of the chat here is way over my head. However, I will continue to read and maybe learn a little as I go.

    I am going to try the 'Shift + Z' combination to try to see what my frame rate is.

    Happy flying all.

    I paid $226.17, tax and shipping.
    My bud paid $199.00+tax+shipping (about $11.00 less than me) a few weeks before and I was too late to get in on that one.
    I came out pretty good.

    By the way ATI has a trade in plan if you don't want to keep your old card, I did.
