i got a 5900xt in my P4 2.8GHz rig. FarCry runs at about 60fps on

(default setting). It would be interesting how many marks your rig
gets.

Okay, here's the 3DMark2001SE rating for my K7V Athlon 650 MHz with
FX5900XT:

I hit "benchmark" right after installation, default settings like you
said. It says 4179.

I remembered I had a profile active locking quality to maximum settings. If
I let the application control the settings I get 4886.

I guess quality is relatively cheap on slower CPU's because the GPU would be
waiting for the CPU to feed it most of the time, leaving enough time for it
to make the picture a little prettier. I think I'll just lock it to maximum
quality from now on.
