ATI has just released their latest set of Catalyst drivers for Radeon graphics card and we have our benchmarks ready!
We weren?t too sure if a new Catalyst driver version was coming this month but they ended up delivering and ATI has produced quite as useful driver for the lovers of AA and AF ? although mostly for Radeon X1900XT(X) owners who love AA and AF.
Performance Improvements
As with most Catalyst® releases, performance has increased in various situations. Far Cry performance improves 4-5%. Larger gains of up to 18.3% can be seen when using anisotropic filtering. Fear performance improves as much as 8.5% on X1800 and X1900 Single card systems and as much as 14% on X1800 and X1900 Crossfire systems. Splinter Cell (original) performance improves as much a 7% on X1300 and X1600 Crossfire systems.
