Lo,
My still quite shiny and new 9800pro performs terribly in Enemy Territory, as in, so bad my FPS were significiantly better, and the game played very noticably smoother with the old GF3ti200 (overclocked to 220/510 or so).
ET just runs like crap! Any remotely large area and FPS are often under 30, even with all-ugly graphics settings. I dont mean the huge areas like Fueldump etc has, but even Oasis often pushes it down to 30, fueldump is mostly unplayable. Even in tight areas 76fps wasnt steady when that was the cap (now it's capped at 47fps :disgust: )
Other games seem fine, I run GTA:VC with 6xFSAA and 16xAniso, no slowdown except when it rains. KotOR ran fine with a little FSAA. 3Dmark2001 score is rather shabby at 12500-ish, but 3Dmark2003 seems about right at something around 5500. OpenGL is set to "balanced", and I've made sure ET isnt trying to use AA or whatever.
I've tried:
Catalyst 4.1, 4.2, 3.10 (might have been 3.9).
Omega 4.1, 4.2
Using Driver Cleaner to clean out all nvidia & ATI drivers
XP2400+, KT266a, 768mb DDR266, R9800pro, WinXP (all stock).
