TweakTown píše:...It seems mainly that the latest driver release was all about bug fixes, though, as the list for fixes in both XP and Vista are actually quite extensive. It also seems clear that AMD have adjusted their focus to the HD 4000 series of cards, which doesn’t really come as a surprise...

zkoušel jsem to víckrát a nakonec jsem vrátil Cat 8.7

sid píše:marná sláva, Cat. 8.8 na mé sestavě (P965+HD4870) prostě nejedou ať dělám co dělám, Cat 8.7 jedou v pohodě

EDIT
tak to nakonec bylo biosem karty, měl jsem tam flashlý upravený bios kvůli limitům taktování v CCC a s ním jsem Cat 8.8 nerozjel, vrátil jsem původní a už to jede

Global Performance Drop: 18%. OpenGL performance tumbled by around 26% in dynamic branching (soft shadows), around 23% in vertex processing (surface deformer) and around 4% in Lightsmark 2008. Only FurMark takes advantage of Catalyst 8.8 with a little 4% of performance boost. FurMark makes an intensive use of texture fetching and blending (ROPs) and maybe ATI has improved something in this part of Catalyst. But as said hereafter, Expreview has noticed a performance drop with a Radeon HD 4850 and FurMark. I don’t have such a radeon and then I can’t confirm this last result but FurMark score is somewhat weird…

Here are the results, rather unexpected
Catalyst 8.7 Catalyst 8.8 Diff
FurMark 1280×1024 3100 3229 +4%
FluidMark 1280×1024 954 937 -1.8%
Soft Shadows Branching OFF 3384 2590 -23%
Soft Shadows Branching ON 4088 2993 -26%
Surface Deformer 13526 10332 -23%
Lightsmark 2008 391 376 -4%
TOTAL Sum 25443 20457 -18%
