Following the thread on Rage Underground, there are new drivers for the Rage Fury Pro.

You can find the drivers
here on Microsoft's website.

I've been having problems running Q3 demo's from the command line since the 1.25/1.27 update, so I can't verify frame rate *but* it appears that my FPS have shot up quite a bit. Plus, DVD playback seems to work a lot better since I installed these. For instance, Matrix and Fifth Element playbacks are now flawless.

Update the display adapter driver and the ATI WDM Rage Theater Video driver.

If you go to 3D Pulpit you can download a new demo that will run on version 1.27g. This is the same guy that did Quaver and the Thunder demo for UT. I get around 55-60 fps on it with my Radeon DDR.

oldfart if you happen to read this, what kind of fps are you getting with that demo? Is it pretty good as a benchmark? When I run the demo I posted about, I get about 55-60fps compared to 65-70 on demo001(I installed Q3demo just to have a benchmark :)).

I get about 30fps on my 300A@450, 800x600@32bit, A3d High quality sound, on the demo127 but I don't believe it. It sure seems with the new drivers things are running a lot smoother. I am getting the same FPS as before with demo1. I tried overclocking my Fury Pro to 140mhz core, 160mhz memory and this only increased the FPS to about 31.9 (5% or so). I'll probably leave the speed settings at the default due to the limited speed increase.
