Got my new card... ATI x850pro... AGP :/ ... 4x AGP :(
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814102606

Interesting how it affects the graphics scores... gotta get AGP8x mobo or drop over 1G on a core duo PCI-E system to affect the complex mark :cry: 


*edit*
A minor correction on my x850pro and the complex scores.  Using http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/ I experimented with some overclocking and WAS able to get my complex score up to around 11.  However the other marks dropped so I'll stick with the stock clock I think.  Stock fan on the card, AGP 4x.
stock GPU = 500MHz, Stock MEM = 500MHz (1000 DDR)
stable &amp; artifact free overclock GPU = 540MHz, MEM = 640.87
Overclocked scores were 914.9, 153.4, 11.1 and 345.4 for the 3DGM.

I also read somewhere that F.E.A.R. doesn't respond much to video card overclocking... which if the game mainly dependant on what you get as Simple and Medium marks in the test I guess I can understand IF and only IF overclocking usually helps the Complex and hurts the others.  Then again it could be the other bottlenecks in my system affecting things... no idea.  YMMV.

I've been getting FPS consistantly above 40 fps in FEAR and I haven't noticed them go above 70 or so.  1024x768, no shadows, the other settings don't seem to have much of an impact on my framerate like the shadow settings do.  I don't know what the framrates were with the 8500 - it was just unplayable.

No difference in UT99.
