oh and it being .22 and .23 didnt make a difference, same thing on both. what's going on here?????

also let me explain why im worried about this, i just got this card from someone and int 3dmark 01 it got 10 000 in my system , and my previous ti4200 got nearly 11 000. is this card screwed??

make sure that you use the correct drivers & settings for 3dmark 2k1 - no anti-aliasing, Vsync off etc.

FPS in AtiTool fluctuate heavily on m system too, so I wouldn't be concerned by that.

ive check all those and theyre all on the proper setting! can anyone explain why everyone else is doing 150+ with their 9800pros on their PC and suddenly i get 250 +fps??!??!?

ok guys.. this is bull shit. just restarted and opened it up with the 4.8 drivers instead of 4.9 and 4.7 and now...

well, seems to be a driver issue then - still not too important IMO
