A čuj-ja bum pričekal koji dan da vidim na kaj se sve žale nesretni korisnici
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.

[Tr4f1ka]

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

mene najvise zanima ovaj dio... iskustva?

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

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:

[Pantera-N]

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

[Jelc]

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

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... :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

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.

[Vedran]

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

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???

[vga killer]

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.

[MasterX]

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

[vga killer]

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?

[vga killer]

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

Pogledaj u atačmentu sliku iz everesta

[Vedran]

vidi pod ati display settings -> options -> details

tamo bi trebao biti naveden proizvođač...

[vga killer]

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

[Vedran]

to ti je powercolor...
