Your email addy was bounced back so I'll reply here:

I tried both Nvidia's OC utility and ATITool, with Tool being the clear 
winner. Just be SURE to set an upper limit on testing if you let it find 
your card's limit. I forgot to and nearly burned my 8600GT. Personally I 
don't push to stratospheric limits but I do like to add an extra fan and 
crank it up 8-10%.

BTW, I had to RMA my original 7900GS. A bunch of the first-run 7900 series 
cards got bad RAM from China and started to fail with some regularity. Keep 
your receipt  and register to protect your investment. I'm glad I did.

Wow, you sure nailed it. It's *exactly* like a grainy soft focus camera 
filter. I was struggling with how to explain it but in a nutshell you 
describe it perfectly. I live in coastal Oregon and we get lots of afternoon 
fogs roll in off the Pacific. If you go out for a walk and it's an 
especially heavy fog then it looks much like the outside in UT3. You can see 
things, just not perfectly clear and with sharp definition.

I think I'll probably pass on 3 after a little while. I've even added the 
patch today from the link in AGUT but haven't bothered to fire up the game 
to see if the save games issue was fixed. When I got 2K4 I thought it was 
going to cost me a marriage because I couldn't stop playing. I'm a little 
older and probably not so much a gamer as I once was but this game just 
didn't "grab" me.
