    That would be nice, it's too bad though that Crysis is horrible on ATI systems (yet they still manage to keep up).

    Stock my 3DMark06 score is 3,602, since I updated to 8.8 it is now 3,671. Not a big improvement but still, it is an improvement.

    I have had so much trouble with ATI and changing the drivers I am not updating until I see a fix that I need. If it aint broke dont fix it :p

    my desktop dual 4850's

    It would go higher to if I had better cooling for them and could OC my cpu higher. Right now for a higher 3dmark06 score my cpu needs to be faster as its holding the cards back.

    Na it only gets like 6000 lower than I expected but the 9700gt is only a "mid range card" the 9700gts is a big jump and the 9800 is a much bigger jump but it gets the job done, and when I find something to overclock it with I think 7k is within reach.
