Catalyst 10.7 Beta from ATI review

30 Jul


http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/GPU74ATICat107PreviewDriver.aspx

anyone try these yet.

now i had no real issues with 10.7 but thought what the hell,

these upgraded drivers and ccc etc so they seem newer than the whql.
all went fine then i started testing games.
first thing i did though was change AA mode to adaptive, now in most games that do AA i new this may make a difference but in the past it has never been much, but in these drivers at least for me it makes a big difference in games like
batman arkhum asylum and UT3 which don’t *use* AA supposedly but swapping this setting in some cases doubled performance and visually apart from a  few jagged pills looked the same.

also testing farcry2 and not as huge a difference but it was there none  the less.

i,ll give a few more a run and see how i go.

ok after some testing as seen below seems these drivers are doing very nicely for me at least.

i have benchmarked alot of games and ones like resident evil 5 just sit on 60 smooth as silk completely maxed out.

BUT

this is using 4x box AA and

adaptive anti aliasing…honestly they look great but not too sure how the AA is holding up, i,ll try and get some closeups to compare.
