MSI 5900 256MB Ultra - Problem with Dusk Ultra Demo

    Alright, basically my MSI 5900 Ultra (256MB) won't run the "enhanced"
    version of the Dusk Demo - The one for the FX 5900Ultras - with more than 5
    fps in Quality mode and about 8 fps in High performace mode. Same problem
    with the "Last Chance Gas" Demo.

    Every other demo and benchmark runs great and clocks in righ where it should
    be expected but when I try to run the "last chance gas" and "Dawn Ultra"
    demos, the whole framerate performance goes dead.

    I've even had it overclocked to 490/916 while still running smooth and cool
    @ (54'C) - Thanks MSI for 3lbs of Copper! strapped to either side of the
    board .. bah .. bust still even with that it overclocked it still wont
    improve the performace of the Dusk Demo (Ultra version). It'll run the
    regular Dusk demo just fine.

    Seems like a memory bottleneck somewhere when the card tries to use ALL of
    its video mem.

    What resolution and quality settings? AA? Aniso?
    These are the latest and greatest demos that really test the hardware.

    My MSI FX5900 gets around 10fps I think at 1024x768, 4xAA, 8x Aniso.

    How do you measure/display the fps in the demos. Mine plays the Ultra demos
    quite smoothly, so I'm curious.

    You're right. The ultra demos run quite smoothly on my 3.2Ghz FX5900Ultra.
    I don't know how to measure the FPS.

    Use FRAPS.

    OK, loaded FRAPS 2.0

    I get the same readings at either 10x7 or 12x10 where I normally run

    Card Settings
    Image - Quality
    AA - 4x
    Ansi - 8x

    Dawn - 43fps
    Dawn Ultra - 22fps
    Gas Station - 17fps
    Vulcan - 19fps
    Ogre - 29fps

    If you are using multiple monitors try disabling the second one and
    see how it runs then.
