Ah, yes - you could try some hardware monitoring software - Sandra from
scisoft, and an assortment from Entech should get you all the info you could
wish for - just need to snoop the settings you use in Win - write em down,
paste em in! Should be reasonably do-able.
Try looking round the sites that support your video card (not the makers
site!) there's hackers all over the place who like to twiddle with the HW
and read the new figures they just wrung out of their pride and joy - those
guys will be laden with diagnostic tools quite often!
Just the tools you need in fact ;-)
