Last week saw
ATI release their latest driver set (5.7), containing improvements targeted
at users of 128MB and 64MB boards. To put them to the test,
EliteBastards ran a Radeon X700 Pro through a number of benchmarks to see
how this new driver set fared:
As far as performance is concerned, there certainly isn't any bad news from this driver set for users of 128MB (And we can assume 64MB, if there are many of those still around) boards. However, gamers certainly shouldn't expect the kind of spectacular framerate increases promised in the release notes at the settings they are likely to be playing at. I have no doubt that ATI's quoted improvements at 1600x1200 with 6x anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering are correct, but let's be honest - Who uses 128MB boards at those settings?
