Normally I would turn on realtime shadows, as I find them great in FPS'es, but IMO they aren't nearly as necessary in space games.

Jeff7181 · Oct 21, 2003

I rarely use real time shadows... I find them to be rather lame looking since most of the one's I've seen are a black outline of something projected on the ground... how many shadows do you see have PERFECTLY sharp edges? That technology needs to progress a bit more before I use real time shadows all the time.

I just flashed my Radeon 9800np to the Pro BIOS. Here's my results at 430/370, which is right around the 9800XT speed (you'll see, it barely went up from before, which was basically Pro speed):

What Cat's?

jiffylube1024 · Oct 21, 2003

Catalyst 3.8 (official ATI, not Omega). Also, it might be easier if you cut down most of that quote to just the score. It takes up a lot of space otherwise .
