Evo-ATI je izbacio betu 4.9 drivera sa kojom će dotična igra ići nekaj brže, više gadovima sa X8xx serijom nego nama jadnicima sa starijim hardwareom
ATI is providing an early version of CATALYST 4.9 to users interested in increasing performance of Doom 3.
The BETA display drivers found here are offered AS IS, without warranty of any kind, and have NOT been completely qualified by ATI. Usage of these drivers are without support of any kind, and you use them at your own risk.
ATI does NOT recommend installing these drivers in systems used for mission critical operations or where productivity of any kind is a concern.
Unless you are very comfortable with installing and un-installing drivers, we DO NOT recommend that you use the drivers provided here. These BETA Drivers are NOT SUPPORTED by ATI Customer Care or any other ATI department.
I asked Terry if these drivers will support instancing on farcry 1.2 (or higher patch), and he said yes, these drivers also provide early support for instancing.
I još malo:
The Catalyst 4.9 beta drivers are a sneak peak into future drivers that ATI is continuously working on. They were released mainly for the OpenGL component update, targeting improved Doom3 performance. Having said that, newer generations of hardware will get the most benefit from this driver (X800* series). While I haven't done specific benchmarks, X800 users can see performance increase of 5~30%, depending on the level and the system/hardware type. Regretfully, older hardware, such as 9700's and even 9800's will not get as much benefit. And if paired with a slower system (or with less memory) might see +/- performance improvements.
We are working very hard to get future drivers out that will add quite a bit to the performance of these.
Remember that these are Beta drivers, and so are unsupported. If you want stability and good speed, please stick with the release drivers. Cat 4.8 has not been skipped, and should arrive soon.
Dakle-tu je još i "early support for instancing" koji dela u Far Cry-u ali samo sa 1.2 patchem.
To bi kakti trebalo delati i na R3xx seriji...
