    I don't bother with 3DMark, and I haven't been playing with OCing my P for quite some time, but I have been playing a lot of Natural Selection lately. The fps have been very low. I'm playing 1024x768x16, and if I stand in a marine base that's well outfitted, with a phase gate, I get a pathetic 9fps.

            Yes I do Greebe, I even registered it Basically ever since the day I got my Parhelia I have only had one game really badly affected by banding and that was SOF2 everything else was more than barable So anyway's as I said when I got the card I'm up for a challenge. Every time I'm in doubt I just put the Reef Demo on and that puts my mind at ease I play all sorts of games from CS, quake, NOLF 2, Jedi Outcast (FPS..hehe) I play repg games like Neverwinter nights or adventure games Giants. Ok I admit I have had a few problems with the card but generally it has been rocksolid and the quality is TOP! notch All I can say is that it has got progressively better as time goes on Oh and if you cant handle the glitches in SOF 2 just switch FAA 16 x off and bump the rez up as the Parhelia does well in higher resolutions in my experiences. FAA 16 x RULES trust me, it is SO SHARP and doesn't really hurt the preformance.

              You didn't notice the misspelling, "Pharhelia", did you?
