  • Got it!

    I finally got the retail Parhelia today and is this a great card! The 2D IQ is _way_ better than my good ole G400Max, and according to 3DMark2001SE speed is about the same as my crappy GF3 in my system, which i was expecting. But what image. And that reef demo alone is worth getting one. Havent played any games yet, as its only in my system for about 30 mins, but i didnt get the card for that anyway.
    The only crappy thing is that my Tyan board is causing some interference over the AGP bus causing some vertical weaves over the screen, which is a known problem. Its just more apparent now with the P. Just dont have the money to replace it unfortunately. Oh well.
    But.. Parhelia rocks!

                UT runs great with my retail

                Just a few pointers - run in Direct3D and NOT OpenGL. OpenGL/UT is waaay to slow on the P.
                Also, don't force Aniso filtering when playing UT otherwise you get BSOD's and corrupt textures on lightsources.

                Aside from that its great!

                  GTA3 is indeed smooth as can be, though it gets a bit slow at 1600x1200 max options and 16x FAA forced.

                  Just played a bit with 3DSMAX yesterday too, performs pretty ok in D3D, however the app crashes when you try to use OGL. Guess we'll have to wait for the pro drivers for that.
