Direct3D Setting Enhancement

Previous versions of the ATI display driver required the monitor going blank for up to 8 seconds when applying Direct3D settings. The latest ATI software driver for the RADEON™ 9500 and higher class of products now allows for the Direct3D setting to be applied without the monitor's display going blank.

Gran bella cosa..finalmente!!

Performance Improvements

As with most CATALYST™ releases performance has increased in various situations. This release of CATALYST™ provides performance gains to the ATI DX8 product family. These products include the RADEON™ 9200, 9000, and 8500 series. Performance gains are noticed throughout the following software:

* Framerates in Unreal Tournament 2003 are up by as much as 15%
* A performance gain of between 5 and 10% is noticed in Aquamark3
* A performance gain of between 2-3% is noticed in ShaderMark scores
* Framerates in Halo are up 3 to 4%
* A performance improvement of 2% is noticed in Tomb Raider

Ciò vuol dire che i problemi da "fixare" di volta in volta sono in numero cospicuo e che la differenza tra una revisione e la successiva non è strutturale...

Tra i problemi risolti citati dal MOD COSWORTH6K mi ha colpito favorevolmente questo

Citazione:

-The Anisotropic Filtering custom setting is now retained under Windows XP with an ATI RADEON™ 7200 installed

il quale dimostra che si sta lavorando concretamente anche sui prodotti che non sono da un bel pò sul mercato: Radeon 7200 significa Radeon di prima generazione

Ciao ciao

Difatti odiavo l'oscuramento del monitor al cambio delle impostazioni D3D!!!

Questo si che mi interessa!

Cmq, come fatto notare da izio, anche evitare l'oscuramento del monitor quando si applicano i settings D3D è bella noia in meno.

Non resta che aspettare che Khana li installi e ci dica quali sono i cambiamenti di performance effettivi in aquamark...

Glide · 13-02-2004, 22.52.43

Non so con Aquamark (

) ma con i giochi la differenza in velocità rispetto ai 4.1 c'è.

Scaricate ed installate genteee

Ciao ciao

feia.feia · 14-02-2004, 09.23.59

Ottimi.
Nessun crash dovuto ai driver video, qualità superba e stabilità ancor di più: 2 ore di gioco continue, + vari aquamark e nemmeno un difetto!
Grazie ati!
