    Catalyst 5.6 released!!!!

    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".

    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 ).

    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.

    My AIW 9800 Pro doesn't like the new drivers and/or MMC 9.08. Performance in MMC stutters.

    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

    not really noticed much difference with these drivers, aside from a no kotor fix and SW:JK2 is still fubar grrr
