Anyone out there with an ATI Pro Turbo Card? The Vibrant drivers crash if you try to run it above 75Hz, and ATI's recommended Panacea drivers only allow 256 colors in the Materials editor. SIGH.

Mark, I have/have used both the VLB and PCI versions (all 2 meg) at up to 76Hz with no problems. (Never tried higher refresh rates.) I've used 'em with NEC, Sony and CTX monitors and usually set Editor at 1024x768x256 and Materials Editor at 800x600x16.7M. One place that had Mirage, I had to have a separate .set file to run Editor/KF in 24 bit, just for Mirage. Those Panacea drivers are for R2, which only had 8 bit color in the Materials Editor, so it's not surprising. Best advice I could give would be to get the latest drivers here and experiment with the refresh until they're stable. SCL
