interceptor, wtf r u talking about? firstly, who gives a rats ass about 3dmark2k1. It’s about as reliable as bapco tests comparing Intel to AMD. And secondly, why would anything 2x as fast as GF3 be 100 quid? even if it was, they coud sell it for 300 and still make a truckload. However on a more less-irritated and more-sane note, i have to agree totally that ATI drivers for the RAdeon 1 are diabolical. OK, yes, they are tolerable in Win9x OS’s however Win2k and you’re going to get frame rate drops and also what seems to be a more buggy gaming experience. Glad im dual booting, but still not content. I’m sorry if i were AMD they shud take a leaf from that Dwight feller at Nvidia. He and his team of 24/7’s are churning out the best drivers ANY consumer could ever hope for. Detonator 3’s and 4’s sets both made people sit up and take notice, and it’s earnt Nvidia alot of kudos in making sure the Microsoft-monopoly comparisons are kept to a minimum. It’s along the same lines as Q3 Team Arena being released for free. Ok maybe 10% frame rate increase isnt mind blowing, but it’s an impressive display of what Nvidia are prepared to go through to keep you hooked. I for one am very annoyed I went from Geforce 2 GTS 32mb to Radeon 64mb VIVO (VIVO played a big part mind). I wish people would make a bigger deal about drivers too. For the average Nvidia owner, they aren’t as aware of the competition’s problems as the competition. Ermm… where was i? 
One pissed off ATi customer (and a Geforce3 owner soon if this shite continues)
