Ktos testowal juz wersje finalna 7.10 z Gothic III? Bo w 7.9 bylo zle z wydajnoscia w porownaniu do 7.8.

[Gość Pussik]

Bardzo szybkie Catalysty 7.10

 

Z przecieków wynika iż kolejna wersja sterowników dla kart AMD-ATi, ma przynieść niesłychany wzrost wydajności kartom z serii HD, ale także poprzedniej generacji X1000. Obecnie z tych informacji można wyczytac iż:

 

- wydajność CrossFire w Battlefield 2142 wzrośnie o 5-23% na HD 2400, 2600 oraz X1300, X1550

- wydajność w Call of Duty 2 wzrośnie o 6.7% na pojedynczych kartach oraz CrossFire, na HD 2400, 2600.

- wydajność Crossfire w Call of Juarez DX10 wzrośnie do 42%, a na pojedyńczych kartach serii HD, do 34%

- wydajność CrossFire w Company of Heroes DX 10 wzrośnie do 60%, a na pojedyńczych kartach HD 2600, 2900, do 31%

- wydajność CrossFire w Enemy Territory: Quake Wars wzrośnie o 23% dla serii X1000 oraz o 23% dla pojedynczych kart X1000 i HD series.

- wydajnośc CorssFire w FEAR wzrośnie o 16% na kartach X1300, X1500, X1650XT, X1950XTX i HD2400

- wydajność CrossFire w Supreme Commander wzrośnie do 30% dla wszystkich kart X1000 i HD. Na modelach X130, X1550 i X1650 będzie można odczuć różnicę aż 82% i więcej.

 

Nie da się ukryć iż te wyniki są aż zbyt optymistyczne. Niewątpliwie, skoro taka informacja obiegła świat, jakiś wzrost wydajności posiadacze wspomnianych kart powinni odczuć. Oby tylko nie kosztem jakości obrazu.

 

 

 

 

Może troche zdezaktualizowany news, ale troche informacji wnosi. ;O

Czy ktos z uzytkownikow kart z serii X800 jest zadowolony z nowych cat-ow?

Jesli nie te ktora wersja najbardziej was satysfakcjonuje?

[Trancvission]

Witam :)

 

Ja mam taki problem dopiero od wczoraj mam te catalysty, wszystko śmiga tylko jeden drobny szczegół mianowicie po ich zainstalowaniu nie moge używać "c z kreseczką"

wszystkie inne litery polskie działają, kiedy coś pisze w jakimś edytorze próbując użyć.. włącza mi sie catalyst center, zupełnie jakby to był skrót od tego,

probowałem to usunąc z i sie nie udaje..:( nie wiem .. miał ktos juz podobny problem?

[Martinii]

Trzeba zmienic skrot.

[Trancvission]

Trzeba zmienic skrot.

tak.. próbowałem w center-> wył. calkowicie wszystkie skróty.. potem Apply i nic to samo.. tez mnie to dziwi bo skroty mam nieaktywne ...

[NoVVy]

Miałem ten sam problem nawet po wyłączeniu i jedyne co pomogło to tak jak Martinii już napisał, że trzeba zmienić skrót. Wpisz zamiast litery "c" inną np. CTRL+ALT+0.

[Trancvission]

Miałem ten sam problem nawet po wyłączeniu i jedyne co pomogło to tak jak Martinii już napisał, że trzeba zmienić skrót. Wpisz zamiast litery "c" inną np. CTRL+ALT+0.

dzięki NoVVy, zmienić albo poprostu uzyć opcji "clear key" i po restarcie jest już ok..
