I'm never one for running off to the ATi site when they release a new driver for the Radeon, but when they make promises of a 50% increase in performance in my favorite, very graphically demanding (LockOn), game, i'm there :) Just so you guys know.

Bah, 50%, can't expect miracles, unless it's some kind of option you have to change in that (absolutely diabolical) CCC "software".
hmm.. i have heard good things about these acts.. see if they can give me the 200 marks i need to get 10k in the 3dmark 03 w==== waving contest
i had to back to omegadrivers , didnt like the new ones
Well the download site is down at the moment.
What do you know, you do have to turn on an option in the CCC (the purported "software"). And lo and behold, I managed to turn the option on after one freeze and one fatal exception! For an extra 2 - 4 FPS in some instances, if I was getting 4 - 6 FPS prior to that, then yea sure, it would be a 50% increase, but I wasn't. (Actually I was in some instances, but in those instances there is no improvement :)).
score before in 3dmark05: 4733 after: 4909.. a nice little free bonus..
Nice, take it ATi have improved on their driver issues since the days of the 8500? :)
Still no fix for Act Of War by the looks :(
Still no fix for SWKoToR
Plus since i installed, IL2 takes much much longer to load, and I think I can attribute it to the CCC software. I'm gonna uninstall and go back to vanilla catalyst drivers, even though I won't get the catalyst AI option. Sort it out ATi.
^^ BUMP!..

yeah they still have issues (more issues than none sli Nvidia ones imho) but no where near as bad as they were circa the 8500 etc when you had a 50/50 chance of your pc working lol :)Quote:
