ATI Cat 8.12 Betas

Posted by TaroT on Dec 5, 2008 in Hardware | Edit
xp 32/64 bit

Vista 32./64 bit

Tested on :
  • 4870 1GB
  • Q6600@3.3Gig
  • p35 ds3p
  • 4 Gb of patriot 1066
  • vista business 64 bit sp1(old crunchy install)
I have tested these drivers on a 4870 1Gb and found they work but things that are a bit funky are:
  • The video convertor does not work on a few videos and on the ones it does it corruppted them, alos it was using the cpu to encode not as it is supposeed to the stream proccessors.
  • no noise reduction sloder(only de noise which has been there since day dot

Ok the good things:

  • They work, they install and have no real issues.
  • The IQ and speed is up, maybe 5 % accross the boards in the games i tested like UT3
  • ut3@1920 1080 all maxed and 4x AA using a custom 9 minute demo average fps was 55(up from 49)
  • HL CS source video test same resolution and settings avg for the test 259 fps
  • tomb raider anniversary, no figures but ran very very smoothly

Overall worth a look or wait till the 10th December when the real deal comes out.

I would love some feedback on how these go
