Thanks to The Weather Channel the drivers are working good and are
getting better and better - although I occasionally have lockups
here. 3D performance is OK - it's not as much as under WinXP - , 2D is
solved by now, too.
Concerning UT2K3: on the homepage they said that the OpenGL driver is
far beyoond the Direct3D one, which means that you will get less
fps. I don't know how much, have no cards to try.
Bye, Adam.
