Houston...we have a problem...................

I crank everything up in NFSU and I only get about 10fps, sometimes less!

I formatted my pc, a clean install of WinXP Pro SP1 and installed all the
neccesary VIA drivers etc, I normally use the Omega drivers so I went ahead
and installed the latest Omegas, all other games are running fine, but NFSU
is like a slide show!!

I understand that NFSU is a true DX9 game, so what exactly is the problem?
I've removed the Omegas and install Catalyst 7,8 and 9 all give me the same
problems :-(

Has anyone else experienced this?

True DX9 is a big word, it uses allot of DX8 stuff, but a number of
effects are indeed DX9.

I see the problem is already solved, good... but the TRUE DX9 games
wich really use highly extensive of DX9 will come... later....

Are there any 100% DX9 game demos available at the moment?

Damn, the problem has come back :-(

It seems I can install a new driver and everything will play fine, but if I
restart the PC it all goes tits up.
I'm currently getting 7fps on the demo, last night I was getting 50fps, why
are ATI so bad at doing drivers???, or is it just me?

I have the full version of Underground and it runs great on my 9800 Pro. I
just did a re-install of Windows XP SP1 with all of the latest drivers for
my hardware a week before Christmas, including the Catalyst 3.10's. I have
an Intel 2.8GHz Northwood C processor and Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000 Pro
motherboard. Hope you get this problem resolved.

The good news is that I know there are many people out there (such as
yourself) who aren't having this problem, so I know the hardware is fine,
it's just a matter of me getting to grips with ATI drivers ironing out any
issues.

I'll go back to the Official 3.10 and work from there.
