We take our regular look at the latest Catalyst drivers from ATI and we examine if it's worth updating to version 6.4!
Performance Improvements
3DMark06 CPU scores improve as much as 4.9% across all product lines 3DMark06 HDR 2 Deep Freeze (SM3.0) test improves as much as 2% Call of Duty 2 improves approximately 1.4-2% on Radeon® X1900 and Radeon® X1800 Crossfire? configurations. Gains are slightly less (1.3%) for non-Crossfire? Radeon® X1900 and Radeon® X1800 products FarCry improves 2-3% on ATI Radeon® X1900 non-Crossfire configurations. Greatest improvements result from tests with no AA and AF Half Life 2 improves as much as 3.8% on Radeon® X1900 non-Crossfire configurations. Greatest improvements result from tests with no AA and AF Unreal Tournament 2004 gains 3-5% on all Radeon® X1x00 non-Crossfire configurations
