New ATI Drivers

[Aug 16, 2004, 5:13 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

This ATI Drivers Page is where to find new official version 4.8 RADEON drivers for ATI acelerators (thanks Ant). Word on the new drivers includes news of DOOM 3 and other improvements: "Direct3D driver efficiency has improved considerably. Significant performance gains are noted in multiple "CPU-bound" cases, including 3DMark2001, Aquamark 3, Comanche4, Dungeon Siege, and Unreal Tournament 2003 and 2004. Typical improvements are in the 1-5% range. OpenGL driver efficiency is also improved. Older OpenGL games such as Quake III Arena and Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory show small improvement (1-2%) at low resolutions. Call of Duty framerates are up approximately 4%. Doom3 improves considerably more (as much as 12% on some product configurations) as a result of the same software efficiency improvements."

i played through at these settings, and was glad i could run 8xAF - 16x must look super (or does it?).

Honestly, I can't see any difference between 8xAF and 16xAF. Just make sure you have it set through the ati control panel, and not within the game.

btw, how do you enable triple buffering?

As someone just posted, through the compatibility panel of the OpenGL settings. But be sure to enable VSync, or it won't make any difference. BTW, when using triple buffering, it's actually faster with vsync enabled.
