I am downloading them now, I'll post some general feedback later with a Radeon 8500 LE.

Well Direct3D seems better, played a bit of Deus Ex, image quality was nice and compared to a GeForce, the game doesn't have a cheesecloth effect over it, also it runs good with 32-bit color.

 

For some reason every time I bench Q3, it always hits 63 FPS, doesn't matter if its 640 or 1024 or any other resolution, this pisses me off. Some sort of FPS Cap has been implemented and I tried going back to the 2.1 set and the same thing happens now. V-Sync is OFF.

The claims could be true, i mean how many fps do you think its gonna get at 1600x1200 with extreme quality ?!?!

 

For example: 10fps normally, 15fps now, whey hey 50% increase, still not usable though smile
