We've discussed this point in this ng already; not all 9800's have 256
bit memory bus. You can see whether yours is 256 or 128 using something
like Aida32/Everest Home or Sandra.

Using Cat 4.6 now, get 6100 with these. The Cat 4.7 I posted about a few
threads above, I get 6200, but they are not quite finished yet so I'll stick
with 4.6.

Pretty close, though my system is OCed a bit. I bet the 1 Gb RAM and 1
Mb of L2 make a big difference for you, especially playing Far Cry. I'm
not ready to drop another $100+ on additional RAM yet.

With XP you will notice a fairly significant performance gain all around
with 1 gig of ram in huge games like Far Cry. Looking at the
individual tests scores, I'm wondering how you got a higher score than I
did? Hey, maybe I ought to go turn a bunch of stuff off in my drivers?
I'm using the cat 4.4's and still note the messed up textures in Q3A
1.32, and they are bad too. Flicker ain't the word for it
I noted a 600+ gain in performance going from the P4-2.66 northwood and
GA8-848P-L to P4 3.0E and GA8-IPE1000G. Both using the same ram. Same
install of XP Pro too for that matter. Sound is TB Santa Cruz btw.
I'll work on the driver issue and see if that ups me over 6000.

Don't forget you are using old video drivers. We're on 4.6's now and
in a few weeks 4.7 are going to come out of beta.

I know, with the installation of this card brand new, I installed cat
4.5, then the release set of cat 4.6 and the texture flickering is
present in all three. Including 4.4

Using the Cat 4.6 and there are absolutely no issues with Q3A with 6xAA
16xAF, perfect IQ. Give it a try.

so now I wonder what I've done wrong? I get the severe texture flicker
with 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6. The same in all three. Perhaps I need to
reinstall the game?

Where is the texture flickering happening in Quake3? I've only played
through a couple botmatches in Q3 since I got the 9800 Pro, but didn't
notice anything unusual. When I was playing Q3 I had 4x AA 16x AF on.
I did notice that when I installed the 9800 Pro all of my Q3 engine
based games (Jedi Knight, Elite Force, COD, Q3) had the filtering reset
to bilinear, so maybe check that.

I've tried all these settings Steve, and Q3 has the flickering textures,
stretched ones, misplaced ones all over the place. The game plays but
this is very distracting obviously. Maybe I need to reinstall
something? Iduuno, got headache.

p4 2.4 gig @ 533 not oc'd.
9800 pro @ 410/470
512 kingston hyperx ram 3200
Seagate 120 gig, 8m, 7200
Asus p4p800 Deluxe

I usually get around low 6000-6100at 1024 x 768, quality settings all
set to max performance, no aa. Default 3mark 2003 settings.

I'm new to ati so I didn't know if that was any good for my setup

I'll have a p4c 3.0g this week @ 800, and my ram in dual channel. I'll
see what difference it makes. the 2.4 is borrowed.

I'm an old fan of oc'ing, and pc's, but I haven't upgraded in a while
due to a rough spot in the old wallet. Things have turned around a
but, and I'm Trying to get back into it again finally.

There's a setting to force the z buffer to 24 bit under openGL advanced
options try that.

Game and desktop are set to 32 bit, I've never seen this before
instlling the 9800 Pro. I have had several ATI cards before this too.
8500-128 was the last ATi prior to this, and the display was perfect.
That the textures are recognizable, or there are simply 'holes' or
missing bits of texture, or the mapping is all wrong lead me to think
it's likely the drivers. I'm out of settings to fiddle with I think

Ok, I've forced 24 bit, no difference. I scrubbed the ATI drivers and
ctl pan, installed the Omegas based on 4.6 and this seems to have
cleaned up that corruption in DX games, but not OGL. twiddled various
settings in the OGL tab and even got Q3 where it wouldn't run. Twiddled
more and it runs, still with corruption.
Just played several hours of Halo, set up a server, had a lot of fun.
Noted that there would be an odd and rare black or color line connecting
me to the spawn point for a bit. Once I cross a certain distance, the
line stuck where it was at that point. That happened maybe 3 times.
I'm wondering if I need to reinstall XP?
3rd mobo, 3rd CPU and 3rd video card on this one installation of XP.
Namely since I installed the newest hd, a 160g. Fat32.
Yeah, I probably do need to fdisk it, format to NTFS and do a fresh
clean install.
Thanks for the input folks.
McG.

Yep... I get around 5500 with my 9800Pro (non AIW) with an AMD2500.
(not OC)

Sometimes Overclocking the system can REDUCE performance... Some
areas were FASTER with OC, others were slower - so I said screw it and
run the system at default. And I have a late model (Rev3) of that
moboboard.
