Hi all! Well after I tested out the new drivers on my Pismo, I noticed that my FOS average in the timedemos DROPPED! Yep, a good 10FPS.

WTF is going on here?

Perhaps you're not using the right driver.

As you heard in the PowerBook forum, use the retail drivers on your OEM card at your own risk.

Reinstall the original drivers...

I'd back out the update by copying the extensions that I had previously. This update is mostly to fix the Diablo II problem, do you play Diablo II. If not back out the update.

There is also no mention that this update is for the Rage Mobility, so maybe it wasn't meant for the RAge Mobility.
