Same problem here. After installing the dxr3 drivers, my 3DMark 2000 score dropped from 6000+ to less than 3000. I sold the card since the support from Creative Labs is very bad. Had difficulties to find a driver for the card and when I did, it was only a beta. Doesn't seem they're working very hard on the issue since the last beta I found was from around october 1999!!! And now nearly two years later... "Bradley B Upson II" <bupson@monroecc.edu> schreef in bericht news:9hdejb$foj$1@news.creativelabs.com... > Ok, last message on this, from me.
