I updated to the ati 3.7 drivers.

Before I had the 3.2.8s and I got 80fps in UT2k4 @ 800x600 and ~30fps at 1280x1024

after updating to 3.7 I got a MAX of 40fps at 800x600..

what is with this?

How does RTCW and ET perform on 3.2.8

I'd go back to 3.2.8, the 3.7 driver seems to be pretty crap in UT2K3/4 for a lot of people.

How does RTCW run on 3.2.8?

I haven't tried it for a while, but it should be fairly good. There are some slowdowns in detailed outside areas, but there's not all that much you can do about it until ATI improve the drivers.
