Some new ATI drivers today. It would appear the marketing people want you to believe the following:
Performance Improvements

As with most Catalyst? releases, performance has increased in various situations.

The ATI Radeon? X1800 has massive gains in OpenGL when 4X Anti-aliasing is enabled. Increases include:

# Doom 3 performance improvement of up to 38%
# Quake 4 performance improvement of up to 60%
# Older OpenGL titles such as Quake 3, Arena, and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, have performance improvements of up to 50%

The ATI Radeon? X1300 has a performance improvement of 10-15% in Quake 4.

Well my last ATI just died on me, for the second time and it caused me anger. I was speaking out of rage. I think the 9800XT was just a bad model, I know overall ATI is a good company still. But it sucks when you pay almost 500 bucks for a video card and then it dies 15 days after you get it, up in smoke btw. Get another one and then less than 2 years later it dies again. But new PC is going to be built in a month or so and its going to be top of the line, I think I might be insaine and actually buy the 7800 GTX 512.
