Two things that prevent me from switching to the DX9 compatible drivers.

1. Refresh rates for OpenGL games still 60hz for games that reset resoltions INGAME.

2. My $2000 Professional 21" monitor refreshrates over 120 Hz are not supported.

Any 30.xx or 40.72 driver sets work perfectly to resolve above problems.

But I really would like to utilize my monitor's full potential in the DX9.0 based drivers. I have tried them all.

I use Multires as my refreshrate program on 40.72 DDrivers which work perfectly. 60Hz is difficult for my monitor to do, it's TOO low. Lowest it does is 70 Hz in 2048x1536x32 bit. 60hz = strobe light

It'll let you force OpenGL / D3d / 2d refresh rate to almost anything, and works with the latest drivers.

Who cares.. DX 9 sucks nothing special about it unless your using a ATI Radeon 9700 so who cares about new drivers or new Direct X. I agree with the guy there isnt a point to the new drivers. If it aint broke dont fix it. U might make it broke.

DX9 has only new features for future cards (and 9700).....
no performance was improved....(thx M$ ^^ )

as long there are no dx9 based apps or hardware i will use 29.xx 30.xx or 40.xx

u must play around which drivers are best for you :wink:

it's simlpe as that: use ReForce to set refresh rates, it works with all driver versions and lets you even add resolution modes that are possibly not available via the Plug and Pray Monitor driver.
