Sumi Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 There is good reason to update, new releases often brings higher fps in many games - even though its not stated in the readme Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/294815-catalyst-53-released/page/2/#findComment-585593526 Share on other sites More sharing options...

j0sh Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I lost about 15-20fps with 5.2, but seemed to remain the same or a tad bit more with 5.3 on my 9800pro.

ZzPcPzZ Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Thats odd - How many fps do you normally get with CSS and at what settings? My AIW 9800PRO gives me about 44fps average at 1024x768 2xAA(or was it 4x, i forget) and I use the DNA drivers... Thinking about upgrading to these..

bangbang023 Veteran Posted March 10, 2005 Veteran Share Posted March 10, 2005 Playing at 1280*960, everything on high, aa off, filtering at trilinear, reflections on world, I get varying fps depending on the map. Maps like dust2 and office I can get a smooth constant 45+. Maps like chateau, I struggle to stay above 30. p4 2.0ghz 1gb pc2700 9600xt Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/294815-catalyst-53-released/page/2/#findComment-585594077 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viserov Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 do i need to uninstall Catalyst 5.2? thnx 585602949[/snapback] I always do a clean uninstall before installing new drivers on my system. I boot up Windows in safe mode, uninstall the old drivers, reboot, then install the new drivers.

Hypoxiaicon Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Catalyst A.I. Ive searched and not seen anything, Unless its hidden deep inside a thread. There is Standard And Advanced. I've read they improve performance. But by doing so, do they descrease visual quality or is it the same or better quality??

nekrosoft13 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 it does degrease, but on a level that you shouldn't notice and sometimes advanced performance increase is worse then standard basically is a useless option, plus its only available in CCC (catalyst control center) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/294815-catalyst-53-released/page/2/#findComment-585613719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smigit Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Woot!, i got a 10fps increase with 5.3 and this is after a 15 fps increase in 5.2 on the CS:S stress test. Thats with all settings on max at 1280x1024. Get 95fps now. I do get faster on the latest omega drivers (somewhat old now), get 105fps on them but I prefer to use the official ones. Its fast enough at 95fps that it wont really matter anyway and I get the opengl stuff. The control panels nicer too. :D this is with an x800 on a 3400+ AMD 64 if thats of interest. 1G ram.

revvo Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 From what I've read at Rage3d, not enough people have reported fps boosts to convince me to do the switch. I'm currently using the 5.1's because I did have an fps boost from the 4.12 but the 5.2 were very unstable for HL2/CSS. I guess we'll have to wait a bit more to actually read something like "performance increase" from ATI's side or maybe fixes regarding games that people actually play. God what would I do to see a list of games supported by Catalyst A.I. and for some reason ATI will never disclose that information. At least Nvidia gives out the list of games that support SLI.

rajputwarrior Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 i haven't noticed any difference from the omegas based on 5.1.
