We used a clean installation of Windows XP SP2. For the ATI X800XT PE Video Card we used the latest ATI Catalyst 5.1 Drivers. The eVGA 6800 Ultra required us to use different driver sets due to a few compatibility issues with each set. We used 71.20, 71.80 and 71.50 drivers throughout the review, while the performance never really varied we saw issues with Halo and missing textures using 71.80, yellow water and missing textures in Half Life 2 while using 71.20 and 71.50 drivers. Overall performance was much increased while using the 7x.xx drivers over the 6x.xx drivers.
