Re: New ATI drivers out
temporal AA doesn't kick in below 60fps apparently, which is a bit of a bugger for games like Far Cry and Thief: DS when most people can't get their frame rates anywhere near that.

Re: New ATI drivers out
I agree - Omega drivers are excellent. I use them cause I play CS on an old Radeon 7000, and I get much better performance than just using the vanilla ATI drivers. Omega r0x!

Catalyst 4.8 Released...
Download
Release Notes
Quote:
-Direct3D driver efficiency has improved considerably. Significant performance gains are noted in multiple "CPU-bound" cases, including 3DMark2001, Aquamark 3, Comanche4, Dungeon Siege, and Unreal Tournament 2003 and 2004. Typical improvements are in the 1-5% range.
-OpenGL driver efficiency is also improved. Older OpenGL games such as Quake III Arena and Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory show small improvement (1-2%) at low resolutions. Call of Duty framerates are up approximately 4%. Doom3 improves considerably more (as much as 12% on some product configurations) as a result of the same software efficiency improvements.

Re: New ATI drivers out
They seem to cover the Radeon 9200 range as well?
Might not do anything for a 9200SE though - just like I can run the latest Forceware drivers on my old Nvidia cards, but it won't do anything for the performance.
