The Firing Squad have thrown up their Catalyst 3.9 Driver Report!
They tested Catalyst 3.8 against the newly released Catalyst 3.9 using the following Radeon cards 9800 XT , 9800 Pro 128 MB, 9700 Pro, 9600 Pro, 9500 Pro, 9500, 8500 and using the following benchmarks NASCAR Racing 2003 Season, Quake III: Arena version 1.32, Unreal Tournament 2003, IL-2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles, Splinter Cell and Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness. Last week?s CATALYST 3.9 launch caught us completely by surprise. Sure, we know ATI is now on a monthly release schedule for its drivers, but it still hadn?t been 30 days since ATI unveiled CATALYST 3.8, so we figured we were good for at least another week, if not two before CATALYST 3.9 was unveiled. Little did we know that ATI had a different set of plans for 3.8?s immediate follow-up.
In any case, we?re here now to take a look at this new driver, which is significant because it adds OVERDRIVE support to the RADEON 9600 XT. Let?s take a look shall we?
