    Steve,

    I can corroborate Ant's story. On a P3-550 with TurboGL, I'm getting mid-to-high 40's at 1024x768 with sound ON and all eye candy ON (texture slider back one, they still need a little work in that area) in Quake3. My old maximum framerates were in the 50's, but it would slow to 10fps in some areas, bringing the average down to mid-20's.

    Now, the maximum is still in the 50's, but the minimum is in the high 20's or low 30's, so the average is in the 40's.

    And that's with 32-bit color, 32-bit textures, shadows, etc.

    So, not to gloat, but I beat the snot out of your V2 SLI rig, in a color depth you haven't got.

    And I've got a REGULAR G400.

    I would still get screwed

        Anyone know if the drivers out tomorrow going to be DX7 optimized, and exactly how optimized (once-over, or a full polish and spit-shine)?

        As for 16bit vs 32bit, I'll trade bit-depth for resolution any day in a multiplayer game (16bit being as low as I'll go). Hard to see those heads peeking around objects at 100 paces when sniping on doublecross/rats on HL, even at 1024x768. :-)

            You just keep right on laughing while I launch a rocket into your chest in UT and you see your frame rate go down the tubes. :-)

              I wouldn't pay the asking price for it, mine is on loan. It is a nice monitor but personally I'd probably go for a high quality 19" and put the rest of the money to good use.

                Good point.

                For the price of one P817 I could buy 2 Sony 400PS 19" monitors and a G400MAX...

                Hmmm...now there's a thought...

                the G400MAX is already on the way anyway...
