last 10 comments: | (01:44 AM CEST - Aug,17 2004 ) | 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.

| xxxx | (02:59 AM CEST - Aug,17 2004 ) | | really, and nothing to do with the fact you just installed fresh drivers? :) i'm gonna check now hope it's true. |
|
| xxxx | (05:32 AM CEST - Aug,17 2004 ) | | drivers are nice. they do seem to boost or smooth out doom 3 at the same time and seem pretty stable across a good range of games i have. |
|
| lucas | (09:22 AM CEST - Aug,17 2004 ) | | Hx, you wanna check the ip logs for xxxx? I think he's accounts been hacked. it isnt physically possible for the real xxxx to say something about ati that isnt negative |
|
| xxxx | (03:59 PM CEST - Aug,17 2004 ) | | what do i have to gain by lying? :roll: they are decent drivers that's all. i wasn't expecting ati to have 4.8, i thought they were gonna just jump to 4.9. |

| FX5900 | (05:45 PM CEST - Aug,17 2004 ) | This is more proof of ATI's buggy drivers. Guess my account hasn't been hacked. :D
Why ATI cannot sit down and fix Splinter Cell 2 is over my head. it's a modern title for goodness sake! |
|
| FX5950 | (06:01 PM CEST - Aug,17 2004 ) | Buggy Drivers? I suppose everything else is perfect and not needing of updates? Yeah riiight. Good one.
One the other hand, the drivers seem to work well. I've only loaded Doom 3 on the other box and played it a little, but I don't think there was any 12% increase for sure. A welcomed update none-the-less. |

| FX5900 | (05:41 AM CEST - Aug,18 2004 ) | | look who appears again... my shadow. shadows only follow me around; cant do anything on their own. |
|
| FX5950 | (05:58 AM CEST - Aug,18 2004 ) | | Is that the all you could come up with? Yeah, sure it is. It's ok nancy. We don't expect much out of ya. Didn't expect you to address the actual question in the the post. You should come up with something other than your standard 1] 'Whoohooo, first post i 0wn, nVidia ownz...' 2] 'Huuay it's my shadow' (You've already said this verbatim before.) and 3] 'My FX5900 ownz!' (Even though you are already falling behind the curve, but you're use to that I'm sure.) |
