i get increased 3dmarks about 135 more in 05, i see weirdness with the new riva tuner and these drivers though, hardware monitor sees vram as 386 no matter what. Everything else sees vram normally though.

about +100pts in 3dmark06. Everything else still about the same. There is still a wall at 700 on the core. I'm not sure if it's hardware limitation or what.
