Parhelia in the house @ question about refreshrate
I picked up my Parhelia today and it's looks awesome, but before I go futher I want to know if there is a some kind of refreshrate fix for the 60 hz XP bug?

Yes.
If you go into Powerdesk-HF, and adjust the refresh rates for the resolutions you want to use, they will stick.
NOTE: This doesn't work if you use the regular display properties refresh settings, you MUST use PD-HF, and you MUST make an adjustment. If you want to run at 85Hz, and it's already reporting 85Hz, you still need to adjust it (switch it to 84Hz, then back to 85Hz). Once that adjustment is made for the resolutions you are going to use, they should stay that way.Core2 Duo E7500 2.93, Asus P5Q Pro Turbo, 4gig 1066 DDR2, 1gig Asus ENGTS250, SB X-Fi Gamer ,WD Caviar Black 1tb, Plextor PX-880SA, Dual Samsung 2494s -

Max Payne, is a blast on the Parhelia, this is the first card which gives, in 1280x1024x32 with aniso, playeable framerates with maxx quality, yes with this settings it's faster then with my GFti4600!!
This makes me wonder if this could happen with more games once they get better Parhelia support...
Most games aren't developed with the Parhelia in mind, so I guess the devs will do some optimizing for it.
The driverquality is oustanding, I tried Q3, UT2003, Morrowind, UT, and many others, with no single crash, glith or freeze, this is very very good for such new hardware and drivers!
Morrow and UT2003 are playable in 1280x1024x32 maxx qual. but not smooth enough and I must go back to 1024x768.
APV2 and USArmy are next.P4 2,4@2,6 AsusP4T-533 C 512 mb PC 1066 Quantum Atlas 10KII SCSI ATI R9700Comment

Sounds good so far.
Interesting to note that Max Payne is running faster than on a GF4 4600...What CPU have you got?
Have fun!Comment

I have a P4 2,4 533 fsb with PC1066.
US army op is running great, not blazingly fast but 30-40 fps in 1280x1024x32 with 2x aniso maxx quality, manually edited, so to get 60 fps I must swith one reso back to 1156x864.
I have the idea this card can do much more then we've seen in the reviews yet
I'm getting more and more happy with it

I tried that, but it went actually slower
Powerstrip doesn't reconiges the Parhelia yet.
FAA16x works great most of the times, some areas aren't anti aliased a few times, once you set it off, you gonna mis it!
The performance hit with FAA16x is indeed very low.P4 2,4@2,6 AsusP4T-533 C 512 mb PC 1066 Quantum Atlas 10KII SCSI ATI R9700Comment
