Atleast so far so good. Better performance in both OGL and D3D, broke 19000
points in 3dmark01 for the first time ever.

I wonder when the 4.8's will get released? For that matter, what about
Windows XP Service Pack 2? I'm thinking of rebuilding my world and it would
be great to try the whole shebang at once.

But will the damn shadows in Theif 3 be fixed!
 
I got 18700, but the cause of my exitement was the sum of the performance in
these drivers, q3 in 1600x1200 6xAA and 16xAF looks and runs great at
100fps. I even think the IQ is atleast as good as offical cat's if not
better.

Best to do them separately. Otherwise if it messes up you won't know which
did it.

And how about the area transition crash problem in KOTOR? Has that been
addressed?

I was thinking about that today a little bit and I think you're right.
Besides, since I don't use Windows XP for Internet, having Service Pack 2
installed right away is not at all critical. I look forward to hearing user
feedback once it is released.

Have you tried turning off vsync?
 
Um! Little me I'm afraid.

Anyway, 4.8 good so far. increased 3DMark03 from 8985 to 9125.

And my tool to an amazing 8" and 2mm from the standard 8"
Also installed DX9.0c and no problems thus far with the Comp but when I do a
sound (DXdiag) test my balls vibrate!!!
Anything to do with the 4.8's?????

You wanna tweak those balls m8, you should be gettin a 9" easy. Try a bit
of thermal paste!! Just don't get any under your shim. ouch!
 
CAT 4.8 has not vibrated my balls yet... but it has decreased my unit to 9"
from 17" damnit :(

On the flipside, my 3dmark03 score went up, up UP!
 
SP2 is expected to break a few programs, which are deemed by MS to be
"insecure". I'd laugh if Mozilla stopped working on SP2...
 
When I installed 9.0c and the 4.8 beta and run DXDIAG I get a message that
Direct3D functionality not available
You should verfy that rhw driver is a fianl version from the HW
manufacturer.

I have a Saphire 9800 PRO
Any ideas on what the deal is.
