Jinak narust vykonu je brutalni fakt pred ATI klobouk dolu co udelaly za mesic prace

[Hosenfeld]

Tak stahuju, to jsem teda zvědav na nárůst výkonu hlavně v Oblivionu. Jenom nejsem schopnej pochopit, proč zase chybí šetřící funkce ve 2D, to je sakra tak těžký to tam opět implementovat?

[Mayhem(cz)]

jsem velmi spokojen,slušný výkon ve hrách BIOSHOCK v DX 10 a stalker,jinak teplota ve 2d stejná jak na předešlích 7.8.

Odpovim si tedy sam: Prestoze na ruznych forech pisi o pretrvavajicich problemech na AGP Radeonech (a na strankach ATI je taky nejaky kec, ale anglicky se neucim, tak nevim, co presne tim chteli rict ), tak to asi pravda nebude, zrejme je nevyzkouseli a vymysli si. Me totiz tyto ovladace funguji (alespon tedy nezmizely ikony a v 3DMarcich mam vyssi vykon)
