ATI released the latest set of Catalyst drivers for Radeon cards quickly this month. We examine performance, as usual.
A little earlier than the past two months, we see the release of the ATI Catalyst 6.8 drivers make an appearance from ATI, with some pretty interesting performance improvements on the table.
Following suit with out normal line up let?s have a quick look at the release notes before we venture into the results.
Improved shader compiler and transform engine optimizations have led to many significant performance gains in OpenGL applications across the entire Radeon® X1000 series of products. These include:
Doom 3 performance improves as much as 6.5% Quake 4 (v1.2 or higher) performance improves as much as 18% Chronicles of Riddick performance improves as much as 20%. Average improvements of 5-10% are commonly seen Prey performance improves as much as 16%
