Hey I got the info I needed! 5-9% increase in performance for my 9700Pro over the .9s! w00t! I think I'll install this one. ^_^

they're called the release notes, available on the same page as the driver download.....you lazy bastards.

And yes, the KOTR bug is supposed to be fixed (haven't tried it yet).

This version also contains their new AI programming, which is ATI's version of game-specific optimizations (which can be disabled, unlike nvidia).

Hey guys! THe CCC for version 10 is much better than the version 9! It lets you change everything that the regular interface does but gives you an instant "sample". If you don't mind downloading drivers that are effectively double ^_^

Click view, and it will let you mess with custom things instead of just the general quality slider.

4.1 recommends you have sp2 installed. I don't want to install it, but i do want the performance bump for doom3. Anybody without sp2 try this driver yet?

by **LordShard** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 4:19 am

I have ver 10 installed without SP2 right now.....

I have sp2 installed and I will let you know how it is...

I will play around with it this afternoon, and then with the computer too!

LOL

I have a 9600XT.

I'm now getting between 60 and 120 FPS (60 is the lowest) in BF:V. I was gettin 45 to 80.

Also, make sure you have .NET 1.1 installed, or the new control Panel won't work.

*overclocked card, 535 instead of the stock 500, so your results may very.

**FPS measure with FRAPS, not the crappy ingame FPS tool

I will try to do some testing and see how it goes for me with the 9800 Pro...

Stay tuned...I am sure that you are all just waiting to hear my results! LOL

It smells like someone is waiting for your news with baited breath...

Tommy, you're sniffing around the wrong orifice.

Holy freak the 4.10 Cats are unstable! Not in the game for 5 minutes before CRASH.
Reload the computer and start playing the game again and CRASH

It might just be ET though, I will find out, will try other games.

Or it could be the lack of Sp2?

by **LordShard** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 9:11 pm

Tried RtCW MP and before I could type out I am testing the 4.1 cats I crashed.

Time to try a non q3 engine.

(note *ET was just as unstable with the new AI turned off)
