Looks like your FPS dropped to less than half with your downgrade. Why did you do that??? The 9800 kicks its butt all the way back to China where is was probably made! The 9800 AIW by the way is a 9800 Pro with a TV tuner, so the pro scores apply. The 9800 AIW may be faster though since it uses a faster memory than the 9800 Pro (Pro uses GDDR 2 and the AIW uses GDDR 3 - everything else is the same after that), but the pro is close enough to get some scores on. GPU speeds are the same between the pro and AIW:

Ughh! That makes me crinch that you spent money to go backwards!!!
