Catalyst 9.8 are awesome, come get them.

XP Vista and Windows 7 all there.


These drivers raised my Far Cry 2 frames dramatically:

Avg: 94 Max:142 Min:63

Up from: Avg: 62 max:104 Min: 44

Ranch Small, 3 loops. 1920x1200, 4XAA DX10, everything on ultra high.


These drivers also are supposed to raise fps in other titles such as crysis, and World in Conflict.

Download em and go have some fun.

Hurray! TY

I need a few people to confirm this for me, i dont want A VIRUS cuase this is a shared computer and my dad would KILL me.

It was a vid on youtube, dont remember exact video, but the guy showed the system and him playing and the fraps counter in the corner. Now i dont think 8xaa and fraps would lower the max framerate 80 fps.

Hrm ill try it but im freaking out, me and technology havent gotten along in the past but those scores still dont seem right to me...

They made the claims. And they are legit. I have em, but dont have CF, so I dont see those kinda numbers
Im thinking theyve fixed the multi threading thru to the cpu/gpu connection with these drivers, plus other things.
Theyre trying to kick start DX11 and their new cards, along with W7 and the i5 releases

You bring up an intersting point, and I would like to say that for the first time ever with FC2, my quad core cpu is running at 80-90% during the benchmark, I currently have it at a very slight 3.5Ghz OC, I wonder if the increases would continue if I put it back up to 3.8-3.9

For sarges confidence

Its official all right

Thats the rumor. Im trying to fidure out how, but remember all those other disappointing drivers increases? maybe they were saving up for this?
Its all timing

ohhh i didnt uninstall the other drivers... um what do i do now? Im not very tech smart, at all.

I tried crysis demo, seemed a little slower

... help plz i dont really know what to do...

Best thing to do at this point would be to roll back drivers

go to control panel, uninstall ATI drivers, download driver cleaner pro, and clean with ati, and ati ccc, restart, install 9.8 drivers.

BTW, for all of you who are wondering, these drivers are legitimately awesome.

I just ran the Compnay of Heroes benchmark

Settings: Everything Ultra High, 1920x1200 4xaa DX 10


Results:

avg 142
max 277
min 71



Unbeliveable!

There should be something called catalsyt install manager or something like that, use that to uninstall, btw make sure you download the proper driver for your OS. such as 32/64 bit etc

no there is nothing that says that under control panel and i downloaded the 64bit vista which is my system

ok gonna try system restore

You arent the onyl one making these claims

Nice returns on a single 4850

ok tried system restore still nothing. tell me how to roll back drivers. i need to get the old 1s back now.

a 4850, anyway apparantly my mcafee secyrity is no longer working

ok so i guess im on my own? i have no clue what to do

What operating sytem?

OK, go to add and remove drivers. find your drivers click and follow the directions.

how can i just roll them back? system restore doesnt work!

I installed new drivers. played L4D for a while, 1920x1080. Everything absolutely max (8x AA, 16x AF) with triple buffering.

Doing a FRAPS benchmark says that the Max was 63, min 43, avg 59.733. If i do recall, the min before the new drivers would drop into the low 30's during a hoard, so that has improved.

I am using a 4850, clocks at 700 core 1093 mem.

It also appears that the F@H GPU client does not yet quite support the new drivers? Anyone else have anything on this? Each time I start the core the screen flickers, but it is using the GPU/CPU processing power, so I guess that its running.

It took em over a year, but oh it feels good.


makes up for literally 0% in game fps increases in their last 5 or 6 driver updates.
