ajel delaju kaj bolje od prosilh. po pitanju crashanja sistema i toga.

A čuj-ja bum pričekal koji dan da vidim na kaj se sve žale nesretni korisnici:D
Bude izašla i nova Omega, spremaju se i nekakvi novi zerop0int driveri (isto od ekipe sa driverheavena)...

A možda ih i skinem (bez CCC-a:) ), čisto zbog bolje podrške za XL.

a zasto bec ccca? prema ekipi sa beyond3da ccc se prilicno poboljso u zadnjih par mjeseci, kazu da nema vise onih cekanja, ucitavanja od 5 minuta i takih fora... al ok, kak oces :D :beer:

btw, daj napisi vise kak tera ta xl :D

uh joj to bi bilo odlicno, ja se nadam najboljem.

Zato kaj je CCC po meni još uvijek glomazno smeće a sve opcije koje ima CCC mogu dobiti i sa RadLinkerom ili ATI Tray Toolsima.

Za XL se nama kaj pričati, svaku igru sažvaće i ispljune u najvišim detaljima i AA i ANISO postavkama:)

Ti dečki su napravili već par verzija drivera za Nvidiu, novi za ATI će navodno imati hrpu opcija, jedino ne znam kaj je sa Omegom-navukao se na WoW gadno i nema ga nigdje:D

Re: Novi Catalyst 5.3
 

mene najvise zanima ovaj dio... iskustva?

Ajde recite zgriženom nvIDIOTu koji su najbolji driveri za 9800PRO.

OVERDRIVE™ Version 4
The latest version of OVERDRIVE™ includes a new 3D test and extra safety checks to ensure the best over-clocking experience - allowing manual over-clocking of both engine and memory while keep the user's graphics card safe from any of the dangers usually associated with over-clocking.

Da li je ovo samo kod CCC verzije ili pali samo na x850 modelima?
Skinuo sam nove 5.3 bez CCC i Overdrive je isti kao i prije...:confused:

mene uopče ne pereju Catalisty, ja cekam Omegu! :D
Super da su složili neka poboljšanja za kotor2! Jelc, kroz koliko možemo očekivati nove omege?

Ha, Omegu svi već naveliko ganjaju, samo budući da znamo kakvi su ovisnici o WoW-u...:D

OpenGL Version 2.0 Support je baš to kaj mu ime i veli:)
Kaj se tiče GL-a u novim driverima mislim da sam vidio da se vlasnici 9800 PRO špinče sa boljim rezultatima u DOOM-u, ostalo još nisam stigao pogledat

Za 9800/PRO ili 4.12, 4.12 beta Omega ili zadnji službeni dok ne izađe nova Omega ili ako će biti čemu novi zer0point.

OVERDRIVE™ Version 4 je điđa koja dela samo sa CCC-om, mislim da najnovije fore podržava samo X850.

Da li je probao netko nove drivere?

znam da ime sve govori (ja kažem napokon :)) ali mene zanimaju isključivo iskustva... daj čim saznaš nešt konkretno postaj... bio je i red da naš dragi ati napokon malkice pokrpa ogl, ak nizašta onda bar da nam oni nvidijoti prestanu nabijat ogl na nos... :D :burn:

Znaš kaj je u tom svemu zanimljivo???
To kaj buš malo-malo u nekom reviewu naletio na izjavu tipa "ATI i OGL", a nećeš naletjeti na izjavu da bi Nvidia mogla poraditi malo na svojim D3D driverima:D :D :D

Ili "igra bolje paše ATI karticama", ili "poznato je da ATI bolje radi sa ..." itd...a to piše i kad ATI grafa iz soma kuna nižeg cjenovnog ranga odere skuplju Nvidiu u D3D-u:)

U najboljem slučaju ćemo naletiti na izjavu tipa "valjda će se i to rješiti sljedećom revizijom drivera".

Kak će se ponašati ATI sa GL-om 2.0 ne možemo znati dok ne bude igri/aplikacija pisanih u njemu.

ma to je poznata problematika, nv orijentirani jednostavno ne mogu/žele reć da nešto-nv ne valja već je, kao što ti kažeš, ati optimizirano... al nema veze, navikli smo se :)

vezano za ogl, šta nije bilo najavljivano da će ogl2.0 podrška izaći u sklopu generalno popravljenih ogl ati drivera? bilo je neke spike na tu shemu koliko se sjećam... zato te i pitam jer sam očekivao napredak na globalnom ogl planu...

Pa ima nešto:)
Nekaj se malo popravi vezano uz sfecifičnu igru, čak se i neke rutine iz Nvidiinih drivera malo preprave i implementiraju:D

Mislim-da će ATI ikad dostignuti Nvidiu u dogledno vrijeme-te sumnjam, te nije toliko ni bitno:)
Većina IGARA u GL-u radi fino i na ATI-ju.

Pacific Fighters je valjda jedina igra u kojoj je Nvidia malo jače dominantna, a to kaj čak i Ultra postiže samo 43FPS-a u 1280 je po meni više stvar neoptimizacije igre nego nekakve slabosti u GL-u.
Mislim-kakva je to optimizacija kad high-end grafa na mrak stroju tjera malo više od igrivog frame-ratea???

Trenutno sam doma na 9800SE (128bitna :BLJUV: ) i na 4.6 driverima. Idem se malo igrat da vidim jel to čudo išta bolje od moje Ti4600. Čisto sumnjam.

kaze se sumnjam (sumnjati - sumnjam)

sumljam koriste polu(ne)pismeni ljudi

A jebiga-kaj si je kupoval uopće???
Kaj nisi uzeo neku pure, po mogućnosti sa R360 GPU-om.
Fino je lupiš u XT i da vidiš veselja:)

Kupil sam je - NE. Na testiranju jer nisam mogao liku uvjerit da to nije 9800PRO neg da je 9800SE.

Pa postoje i 9800 PRO 128 bitne.

Ta ti je negdje u rangu 9600XT otprilike...

Koja firma?

Da budem iskren, nemam pojma, al mislim da je Canyon, ak to uopće postoji.

Pogledaj u atačmentu sliku iz everesta

vidi pod ati display settings -> options -> details

tamo bi trebao biti naveden proizvođač...

Piše CP Tehnology, al sam i skužio da grafa ima 256MB.

to ti je powercolor...

Pa kaj se nije netko par postova niže jadao da je kupio baš Canyon i da je grafa 128bitna???

Nije:)

je jelc, to JE powercolor...

informiraj se, cp tech == powercolor... :)
