Driver-update: ATi Catalyst 5.11

ATi logo (kleiner) Gisteren maakten we al melding van het feit dat ATi's Catalyst-drivers versie 5.11 waren 'gelekt', heeft ATi nu zelf de drivers vrijgegeven en kunnen ze van de officiële bron worden gedownload. Helaas heeft ATi onlangs zijn download-policy aangepast en kan er niet meer direct naar de downloads, de release notes of zelfs maar naar de pagina waar de downloads te vinden zijn worden gelinkt. De drivers zijn zoals gebruikelijk verkrijgbaar met of zonder het Catalyst Control Center, of kunnen in afzonderlijke delen worden gedownload. Nu de drivers officieel door ATi zijn vrijgegeven is ook precies bekend wat er allemaal veranderd is. Ga er even lekker voor zitten, de lijst is lang:

  • Adaptive Anti-Aliasing

F.E.A.R.: Playing the game under Windows XP using an ATI Radeon X1800 no longer results in poor performance being noticed
De poor performance is nog steeds aanwezig. Je merkt er alleen niks meer van :Y)
Voor FEAR geldt het volgende, als je fear.exe een andere naam geeft, bijvoorbeeld fear1.exe, dan heb je zo'n 30% performance winst (Geldt voor alle ATi kaarten). Dit komt omdat Catalyst AI (Die normaal voor betere resultaten moet zorgen), fear.exe niet meer detecteert, en het spel op eigen modus gedraaid wordt, zonder de geoptimaliseerde modus van Catalyst AI. ATi is hier inmiddels bekend van, en zal het zeer waarschijnlijk in de volgende release verbeteren, zodat je niet 30% performanceverlies meer hebt als je Catalyst AI op Low of High hebt staan.
Niet alleen Windows 2000 en XP eej mensen, ook x64 (die ik gebruik). Kan daar een beetje op gelet worden?
channel being found several verdana during the scan function.
Hehe, iemand heeft een search en replace gedaan op 'Times' :)
Ik heb Frame drops met deze driver.. Met een Radeon 9700 Pro..

Zowel met Swat 4 als NFS MW
Is er hier iemand die problemen heeft met een ATI Radeon 8500 icm deze driver? Ik merk nl. dat er wat mensen zijn die met deze driver een BSOD krijgen...
Is het mij, of is de Nederlandse vertaling corrupt?
''Bruk egendefinerte innstillinger'' en nog een heleboel...WTF?
jou je zal we iets scandinavisch hebben.
lol :D

of niet zoveel zuipen op zaterdag ;)
Ik vraag me af of het voor m'n good old 9500pro nog zin heeft om deze te installeren. M.a.w.: weet iemand of deze drivers nog iets extra's uit m'n vga kunnen trekken?
Heb nu de 5.10 draaien.
Kom je maar op een manier achter... Zelf ff proberen!!! :P
Weinig ;)

Voornamelijk bugfixes in games en nieuwe instellingen in het CPL/CC waarschijnlijk.
Vooral dat opengl want dat is met UT-mods nog vrij bagger.

tnt2 deed het vaak beter.
Helaas heeft ATi onlangs zijn download-policy aangepast en kan er niet meer direct naar de downloads, de release notes of zelfs maar naar de pagina waar de downloads te vinden zijn worden gelinkt.
Wat is dat voor geneuzel? Die downloads zijn gewoon bereikbaar (Welcome Guest).
Er wordt bedoelt dat er niet meer *direct* naar de download-links zelf gelinkt kan worden, aangezien ATI nu een anti-leech systeem heeft.
Is het medal of honor probleem al opgelost in deze versie, ik zie er nergens iets meer van instaan...
De problemen met Medal of Honor (AA, SH, BT) werden door de Hotfix voor 5.10 al opgelost.
Helaas was deze hotfix niet vanaf hun eigen site te downloaden, maar wel via Tweakers (meuktracker: Ati Catalyst 5.10a)

Op dit item kan niet meer gereageerd worden.
