Detailed ATI Catalyst 4.6 Comparison Test - tech|
| (hx) 03:24 PM CEST - Jun,15 2004 | UT2004Community.com
have posted
an extensive comparison between the latest ATI Catalyst drivers 4.6 and the
previous 4.5 release. Here is a taster:
In our very own custom ini tests, we also had significant increases across all maps (not one map in any of these tests ran slower in 4.6 than 4.5). The average fps increased from 105.56 to 115.72, some 9.6% improvement over 4.5. In fact, the custom ini managed to win 6 of the 8 tests for highest frame rate, beating even the low detail tests!. Its overall score also took the top frame rate crown, desipite being visually pleasing AND improving frame rates. (see graphics comparisons).
In terms of the different gametypes, the biggest improvement came, as expected for DM and CTF, however, Onslaught players will be pleased by the improvement in the relatively lowly fps given by 4.5 drivers. The 4.6's managing to increase the fps from 74 to 86, some 15.7% improvement. DOM also improved healthily, but the heavily taxing Assault mode only increased by around 5%, moving its score from 61.3 to 66.6fps.
Overall then, the 4.6 drivers outperformed the 4.5 set by some margin across the board. The increase in frame rates were 12.91 and even without the face3 blip included, came out at an excellent improvement of 11.47fps (12.65%). The new average score of 102.14 suprasses the previous drivers 90.67fps without seemingly sacrificing any visual quality. I noticed no difference in the quality of each test whatsoever

last 10 comments: | xxxx | (04:07 PM CEST - Jun,15 2004 ) | | why is the ATI community so bloody lame? jesus.. the guy tweaked the hell out of his machine, likely half of XP is dead in the water and he managed to squeek some 9.6% increase..Very funny how a review already came out and showed no modest increase at all and oh look, Joe-hands-in-pants managed to squeek more out of the drivers. talk about trying to make yourself feel like you bought a decent card. lol. i love this part, 'In our own custom ini tests'. Hahahahahahahahahaha! ya he turned everything off, wow! | |
| lucas | (04:50 PM CEST - Jun,15 2004 ) | wow! now it sure is obvious that your penis is far larger than that of an ATI owner! glad you cleared that one up for us
i often wonder if you are a really good troll, or a 10 year old, or maybe both
/lucas (I support neither company, so go eat a dick) | |
| BLOODUK | (06:27 PM CEST - Jun,15 2004 ) | He's a troll and basically ithink he should either be warned or BANNED ive had dealings with this muppet already.
Anyway back to the review, basically im staying with 4.4 until ati can get this shadow problem fixed with thief3 | |
| xxxx | (07:50 PM CEST - Jun,15 2004 ) | | listen to mr 4.4 drivers, shadow issues with "oh" a new game.. wow, and my nvidia runs it fine.. aww poor you. good luck getting shadows fixed. of course if you frequented the ATI forums you would have already had the 'indirect' answer to your problem from ati. it's a problem with the card. ati hasn't fixed shadow problems in any games(incl deus ex) and they aren't about to pull a miracle and fix it in theif. live with it. as for lucas, mine and anyone elses penis size will always be bigger than yours. i thought you were ok with that by now..u dont support either nvidia or ati, cuz u aint got the balls or knowledge, ur just another one who sits on the fence and swallows anything coming down. likely why you are talking about penis' | |
| maga | (10:50 PM CEST - Jun,15 2004 ) | hahahhHAHAHAhAHHHAAhAhaH ! now, let's clear something up, xxxx is a troll, but one who's post are actually worth reading ! that makes him some king of high-level troll :) but, like a troll, he's not very bright....
edit: and it's not ATi's fault if ION Storm is releasing some half-assed games, and you are not telling me that Deus Ex 2 is a fucking well done game (technically speaking) , it's in fact a miserable attempt of an engine. | |
| El_Coyote | (01:41 AM CEST - Jun,16 2004 ) | | lol... like the nvidia community is any better? | |
