Wow, the are awesome.
Using the same settings as in my bloom challenge thread (1600x1200x32bit 4xFSAA highest level of Direct 3D detail) I used to get around 2,300 3DMarks, and now I'm breaking the 3,000 numbers.

No bugs so far, definetly get these.

The only problem is the windows refresh rate problem. Riva Tuner wont work neither will Refresh Rate Fix. However there is an even better program out that will fix it. http://www.pagehosting.co.uk/rf/

er-animal, you mean you DONT have to do all that uninstall old drivers, enter registry remove all references to old drivers run detonator destroyer etc etc we're always told?

That would be nice!:D
