ATI Cat 8.12 Betas
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
