JW, the X800pro vivo can be modded (jsut bios flash) to turn on the 16 pipelines. Its pretty much garunteed. 100's have done it without incidnetnt. It boosts 3d03 about 2 thousand points. And then u can oc it a little bit and make it at the same clocks as the XTPE. Which then makes it about the fastest D3D card on the market. Nvidia still seems to be behind ATI in D3D a bit, even with their beloved far cry (tight game btw). Nvidia may rule opengl, but the last game that i have played in opengl was doom3 and it was the first opengl game ive played in years, the only other being quake3. So opengl is really not an issue. May sound ignornant or stupid, but im a Sound D3d Fan.
Not bashing doom 3 in my post here, but its overrated. Sweet engine, creepy as hell, scary as hell, but that only lasts for 3 days and then its repetive to the max and gets really boring. I lost the will to beat the game... Because of this, it annoys me ppl are like omg get nvidia it plays doom3 better. guess what, doom3 is not the only game ur ever gonna play, and if microsoft has their way opengl would be a smoking hole in the ground.
