FSAA off is as much as i can tell you

its a big frame rate hog, other than that you can leave it alone for AH i find.

Thnx,
  After disabling FSAA, i seem to have picked up about 10-20 fps!
  Maybe a little overclocking next:D

Ensure that V-Sync is turned ON.  

All of the newer detonator drivers I have used come with it turned off.

Fine tuning is hard to say, it seems to affect different  systems differently.  Protect that first back-up GTU makes, 'cause eventually wierd crap will happen and you have to start over fresh.

Furious..


Are you sure?
I've never found a set of Detonators with v-sync off.   Beta or otherwise
Also, no drivers get WHQL certified if they have v-sync off or adjustable v-sync (D3d)

Skurj,

To the best of my recollection, yes the v-sync has been off.  This was true of the most recent driver install, 2 wks ago, of the 23.11 drivers.  

Of course this is only how the GTU is reporting it and the GTU may be wrong, but try to find a v-sync setting in the later detonator drivers.  (going into registry doesn't count)
