Did you install the October 2004 Retail Radeon update?

im really not sure whether this works with the OEM card or not.

I dont have an OEM card, only the retail one.

I will get all that to you as soon as I can. Just in the middle of some shows at the moment.

Pretty sure it was the October Update that I downloaded. I did so after you posted about it on here.

thanks toby.

Im trying to find out what the differences are between your computer and mine wrt drivers etc.

Although it is a long time since, I am still having the tearing problem when in fast disc mode despite updating firmware and drivers for my cards. Recently I used a third rental machine in which I installed a Raptor and the tearing occured there as well.

On my machines I am now running a 4 raptor striped raid and in fast disk mode I can run 5 to 6 layers at full frame rate but in slow mode it is back down to 2 solid layers at 25 fps.

I'm hoping V4 somehow solves this problem.

try installing 10.3.3 on a single drive in a single machine.
and see what happens.
10.3.3 has proven to be the least problematic.

also - you did use a separate disc for the system - and the media drives?

I have single Raptors set up as Catalyst System only drives with basic installs and no other applications. I then run my external raids or an internal content drive.

I will try the 10.3.3 option and let you know.

I have tried the 10.3.3 install and the problem seems to have gone away.

I will test my other system and let you know.
