a '3d THRILL SIS 315, clocking at a behemoth 130mhz core and 150mhz memory.
strange thing is, it 'looks' the dog's danglies. it has two boards that make it look like a multi-storey car park with a balcony.

i had the Catalyst 3.9 drivers already downloaded - something i did when i had my flimsy SiS card filling in...
Yes V sync locks the frame rate to something to do with your monitors refresh rates, I believe. But the chances are you can't tell the difference between 60fps and 100. And if you can you're a liar. Or superhuman.
Better with vsync on if you have CRT you need a refresh rate fix.
Doesn't V sync lock the framerate in games sometimes ? Does on Raven Shield anyway, stays at 60fps, then soars higher with V sync off.

You know if it's constantly at 60 there's probably something locking it at that.

Download the latest 3.9 catalyst from ATI. I bet with the card you got lower ones maybe 3.8 or 3.7. The 3.9s have only been out about a week so I doubt they are on the CD.

I dont think they do modify it. Basically they get the spec and then they make it out of their components and fit it with different fans, package it and sell it. The Hercules I have was one of the most expensive 9800 Pros as it came with nice copper heatsinks etc, and I still use the same ATI drivers. I dont think that they change anything on the card to make it any different to all the other cards, thats why bench marking each card is pointless as there all the same within a few 0.1 Fps.
From the one review it seemed that Tyan used RAM that wasnt recommend for the spec of the 9600 Pro yet the reviewer still overclocked it so it was faster than the stock 300 by 12mhz.

Oops, forgot to visit this thread after my original post :( Anyway in answer to your question Bob, yes, it's constantly 60fps. Great stuff :D

Well, the card has not come a cropper. and it won't do. It's drivers are very stable and compounded.
I'm still waiting for a game that will give my card an excessively hard time. Meanwhile, GeForce3 all the way!
