I just upgraded my GeForce DDR to the latest Nvidia reference driver (369)
and my UT to version 405. I played the game and thought, hmm.....this does
feel a bit smoother, and a lot more consistent. So I stuck on timedemo
stats......normally I get 120FPS at the start of a match before I press fire
to start and the level has just loaded.....now I get 30!!! only 30!! I ran
the phobia demo.....I get 20FPS average, and only 40max!! And it takes
700secs to render it (apparently). I thought the demo ran much smoother this
time, and the FPS was definitely higher than before (my average before was
40FPS). I listened to the pistol shots and they are much quicker now, and
the room in the middle of phobos (where all the bots have a big fight in
phobia.dem) slows down no where near as much!!
    I don't know what has happened here.....either UT was lying to me before
about my FPS, or it is lying now I upgraded to the latest versions of GFX
driver and UT......The game definitely plays smoother.......with less slow
down......please could someone explain this to me before my head
implodes?!!?

PS Sorry about the crosspost, but i wanted to ask as many people as
possible, and all the NGs i used are relevant....I have a CL labs Geforce
pro)
