I'm using >the drivers that came with the card (Version 6.14.10.xxx) I think you should try the Catalyst 4.9 (beta) as well. They made a definite speed boost for me over 4.7.. On a 9800Pro though. Just in case you missed it Bob.. This works for the X800 as well. -- Snip from a previous post of mine. In case you missed the tweak. Here it is in ZIP format. http://alexharis37.free.fr/doom/humusd3atitweak.zip It's some sort of hotfix for the pixel shader to be ATI radeon friendly. It does some float operations better, improves speed as well as framerate. It also fixes specular glitches (pixies along some axis). The speed gain to be expected is around 18% Just unzip in your doom folder and it'll create a glprog within the base folder with the now famous interaction.vfp by Humus, now working for ATI... So this is not gonna break anything. Regards, r_gamma "1.4" is your friend !......USE IT !... NÅo
