Well, I try to play MOHAA on my rig (specs in sig), start a multiplayer game, everything is fine and smooth at 800x600 high details and all. Then, I go and tweak my V3 drivers a little, and activate 3DNOW. I reboot, go back in MOHAA, now everything is super choppy and all, I mean, everytime I'm in a big open area, the framerate drops far, far below acceptable levels. (so much that I had to lower all graphics, play at 640x480 with details lowered to the minium to keep a constant framerate). I change that setting back (the 3dnow, I deactivated it), go into the game, increase all graphics, and it's super smooth. WTF ?!? Isn't 3DNow! supposed to actually increase performance and multimedia capability, and not decrease it ?!
