Related to these two topics: http://fearless-assassins.com/topic/58951-looking-for-new-cfg-after-driver-update/?do=findComment&comment=514197 and http://fearless-assassins.com/topic/58339-for-players-with-amd-graphics-cards/

So between then and now, I re-installed Windows 8.1 Pro, having reverted back to 7 after a hard drive issue. Per JoeDirt's suggestion in the second topic, I installed the latest AMD Beta drivers (as I was using the crappy Microsoft display drivers), and made sure /r_primitives was set to "2". Unfortunately, I still had some lag. So I brought out my google-fu, and learned that if I copied the atioglxx.dll from Catalyst 13.4 to the game folder it should rid me of my lag issue.

So I put a copy of that dll file into the game root directory, and in every mod folder and gave ET another shot. This time it worked perfectly, the way it used to with my old 13.4 drivers on Windows 7.
Since then, maybe a day or two later, ET is giving me an inconsistent 20fps-125fps. Thinking it was my etconfig file, I posted a request for a new config file (the first link), and Th3o and First were nice enough to hook me up with both High and Low graphics settings configs.

Unfortunately, both give me the same issues, with no noticeable difference in a FPS jump with the low graphics config. So that there confirmed that the drivers were the source of the problem (at least in my opinion), so I uninstalled the beta drivers and went back to 13.4, and although it is better, it's still looks like one of those stopmotion animation videos. :P

I'm going to try the AMD cleaning utility and then giving the 14.xx Beta Drivers another test, but other then that, I'm really unsure as to where to go next. Perhaps I can inject a DLL from an older version of OpenGL, run ET in Hyper-V, or worst case scenario (as I really am broke right now), buy a new video card.

My current graphics card is a Sapphire HD6570 with 2GB of vram. Not sure if anybody has any experience with this (now low-end) card?

Thanks, Xerni :)

Ran some benchmarking tests with an OpenGL Extensions viewer, here are my results:

Generic WDDM OpenGL test: post-9897-0-26078100-1396870314_thumb.jpg
AMD Graphics OpenGL driver test: post-9897-0-34080900-1396870313_thumb.jpg

So with this, I think it safe to say that perhaps ET is not using the correct OpenGL DLL, or Windows Update is replacing something.

Will update later.

Now why am I essentially talking to myself on a thread? Easy to answer. Because others will have this problem in the future, or are dealing with it now, and this way my findings and redundant tests will be available for all to see and others can fix this issue too. :)

EDIT: I checked the OpenGL driver version, and it is the version that is reported to be working for everybody. doing a /cvar_restart (thanks for the suggestion, Annibal) has not worked however, so I am now at a loss for whether it is an OpenGL issue or a config issue. (Presumably an OpenGL issue, as a config reset has not helped)

I am currently investigating this mod: http://www.moddb.com/mods/etxreal to see if it's support for OpenGL 3.2, and the changes in how polygons are drawn will perhaps fix this problem for the coming future for all ET players. It does not seem to be well known.

EDIT: Won't work, says that it can't load a "grain.png". -_-

I've noticed something odd with my shading though in the original ET.
