I disagree. 3d performance is better but 2d performance is abysmal, also due to the new drivers not using xaa anymore (they use their own stuff in the new drivers). Also, some machines don't have problems, and some do. See here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?forumid=14 I say keep 'em masked. Of course there's nothing wrong with you guys using them. If they work for you, great. > If it is not at all possible to unmask can I be given an idea of timescale > and specific causes out of curiosity? Maybe next driver release?
