AMD has
released a Catalyst driver hotfix in preparation for the
incoming first-person shooter. The hotfix applies to graphics
cards from the Radeon X1600 series to the Radeon HD 4800 series
(check out the hotfix download page for a full list), and
according to AMD, its sole purpose is to improve performance.
The hotfix improves Far Cry 2 performance for all card
setups in DirectX 10 mode, AMD says, but only users with
CrossFire multi-GPU configs will see frame rates rise in DirectX
9 mode.You can
grab the hotfix for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of
Windows XP and Windows Vista. German tech site PC Games Hardware
has somehow benchmarked the hotfix in Far Cry 2,
and it reports 83-97% performance gains for a Radeon HD 4870 X2
in DirectX 9 mode.
