88 without anything
104 with Use FPU

Athlon XP 2400+ / X1600PRO 512Mb / catalyst 7.5 (when I'll update the drivers I'll post updated results if I dont forget :) )

looks cool but yes it still has glitches:

I hope you can see what I'm talking about, the moving parts of the scene leaves a trail on the reflection, like the background get copied only the first frame, then the character get copied without updating the background...I hope i was clear enough :)

I just think it's the card and not the software, maybe I'll have a look for better drivers, you never know there may be some out there for vista.

Ok, thanks for the info about not having good performance, I'll try and get better drivers from ati now that I know Vista might not be the best ones to have.

I seem to have the latest drivers so I guess I'll just have to put up with slow graphics. :(

New Version inc ( Including DirectX Method - which looks sadly alot nicer due to more Support in Render Methods ) . And fix - tho the Rendering Support will change for OGL aswell once Irrlicht 1.4 is implemented ( Mike's working on it ). Currently trying to track down the GUI error in 1.05 - stay tuned. 8)

EDIT: easy Derek wait for the Shader Version - that one should run like a Rocket on that card.

Spent the last two days trying to get CCC from ati to work with vista, gave up after ballsing up the whole system, did a restore and lo and behold the first thing that got installed was CCC.

Will try the examples again tomorrow, when I get home from work, and hopefully I will be able to get a better framerate.

Looks great here - IBM thinkpad with integrated Intel graphics.

btw, (real dumb arse question alert!) how do you determine what fps you're getting?
I may look like a mule, but I'm not a complete ass.
