Amazing thing is that enabling hardware transform is now giving a HUGE boost in performace (80-100% speed boost) though enabling Vertex Cache still doesn't give speed boost while enabling both of them at the same time decreases a lot of frames. I'm easily getting 60 Speed without frameskipping with hardware transform on GTA Vice City Stories which is a bit heavy for 7 year old card I think, But recently builds have strange full screen bug. When I toggle full screen during game it drops the Speed from 60 to 10 which is virtually unplayable. But, when I toggle full screen before opening game then the speed remains same. That was happening in Windows 7 as well so it's not a driver problem I think. The problem with ATI/AMD drivers is that they don't unleash full potentail of a GPU. They have to lose something or feature while gaining other thing.


Oh lord, why didn't you mention you were on Windows 7 with that X800 card lol.

I would've told you to go straight back to Windows XP, since AMD's OGL drivers got even worse in Windows 7 for older cards.

AMD/ATI's Win XP OGL drivers are much, much more mature and faster than their current 7 implementation which is much more slower and bloated in comparison.
