ATI Cat 5.3's are out , included OpenGL version 2.0 support in this version.

Maybe these will help some of the nagging texture corruptions I keep getting
off and on in Pacific Fighters.

Yes!

Just flew about 4 missions in my PF campaign, so far so good, not one bit of
texture corruption ..
keeping fingers crossed...

ATI OpenGL driver weirdness was one of the reasons I upgraded from my
old Radeon 9600 to a Geforce 6800GT. I was initially trying to find a
256mb Radeon 9800 Pro, but at the time (around Christmas) they weren't
to be had anywhere. So I was looking instead at the ATI X800 series,
but for the same amount of cash, I figured the Geforce was a bit of a
better deal. No regrets, but the X800 series still look very tempting.
It's good to see their drivers maturing. I think they're a good company
with solid hardware. If I could sneak a bunch of parts past the wife,
and build another machine, I'd try the ATI. But that isn't happening
any time soon. I've no time these days anyway

Oh yeah, I agreee. Right now my 9800 Pro is a bottleneck in my system, going
to wait till about summer and then go with a newer ATI card.
