You're right. The ultra demos run quite smoothly on my 3.2Ghz FX5900Ultra.
I don't know how to measure the FPS.

Alright, basically my MSI 5900 Ultra (256MB) won't run the "enhanced"
version of the Dusk Demo - The one for the FX 5900Ultras - with more than
5
fps in Quality mode and about 8 fps in High performace mode. Same problem
with the "Last Chance Gas" Demo.

Every other demo and benchmark runs great and clocks in righ where it
should
be expected but when I try to run the "last chance gas" and "Dawn Ultra"
demos, the whole framerate performance goes dead.

I've even had it overclocked to 490/916 while still running smooth and
cool
@ (54'C) - Thanks MSI for 3lbs of Copper! strapped to either side of the
board .. bah .. bust still even with that it overclocked it still wont
improve the performace of the Dusk Demo (Ultra version). It'll run the
regular Dusk demo just fine.

Seems like a memory bottleneck somewhere when the card tries to use ALL
of
its video mem.

Probably do a few FPS better with a 3.2GHz
P4.....................snicker, snicker........... :-) :-)
