Hey there...noticed this when switching to DirectX mode in Counterstrike. I always played in OpenGL, I wanted to give it a try in DX. Well, the performance blows majorly...i got 31 FPS compared to 72 FPS in GL (limited though by my config script - online gaming optimized).

I thought I'm not seeing it well, so i rebooted, fired up CS, changed to DX mode again, and same thing happened...around 25-30 FPS, lol.

I don't remember having this problem with the previous version (the non-WHQLed one).

Any ideas?

those drivers do too. The 21.85 drivers fix a supposed problem with DX, at least that is what i read on 3dchipset.

dets4 all suck, all but 20.80(so so)for me 12.90 are still the best in dx, 10.80 in opengl(if i could just mix them).
