opengl performance disappointing
I'm a very new convert. Am I missing a setting or what? The Opengl
performance seems to suck. I'm using the latest cat drivers. 3.7 p4c800-e 3.0 ghz p4 800fsb (slightly OC to 3.15) 1 gig corsair pc3200 4 80 gig sata drives (striped Raid) 9800 pro (128 meg) Koolance Exos. Yada Yada Yada :-]

Sorry.
In the Jedi Academy demo I get some striping in most screens. When moving around the images get blured, especially objects that are dislaying light. I returned a geforce fx 5900 ultra for this card, and now I'm not sure I did the right thing. Oh well Time will tell. Direct x games IQ is better on the ati card, but I think the Opengl IQ is better on the 5900. "Anders Albrechtsen" wrote in message k...

Oh well Time will tell. Does this apply only in Jedi Academy? I have a Radeon 9800 Pro and never noticed any lines or blurred images. Did you do a complete reformat before installing your Radeon 9800? Direct x games IQ is better on the ati card, but I think the Opengl IQ is better on the 5900. There's a known bug in the current drivers which defaults to 16 bit colors and textures if the slider is set to "high quality" in the control panel. This applies to all OpenGL 1.3. ATI has confirmed that this will be corrected in the next driver release (Catalyst 3.8). You can alleviate the problem most of the time by mving the slider to "high performance" or use a tweaker such as R3D to disable "force 16 bit textures". --- Anders

Thanks, I'll try that when I get back home.
