AMD Insight.de has done up a performance comparison of the newly released Catalyst 3.7 drivers: They tested Catalyst 3.0 ,3.1 , 3.2 , 3.3 , 3.4 , 3.5 and 3.6 against the 3.7 running on a Radeon 9700 Pro using 6 DirectX benchmarks 3D Mark 2001 SE / 2003, Comanche 4 Demo, UT 2003 Demo, Aquanox 2, Splinter Cell and 4 OpenGL benchmarks Quake 3, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Serious Sam 2 and MDK 2. All the benchmarks were done in 3 different modes: 0x Anti-Aliasing (AA) / 0x Anisotrope Filtering (AF), 2xAA / 16xAF and 4xAA / 16xAF. Catalyst 3.7 Performance Comparison Thanks to Warp2search.net :rofl:
yea, saw that over @ rage3d as well.. catalyst maker sent rob unofficial WHQL drivers early so he can make his performances comparisons ASAP. Thanks!
Major performance drop for me, from 5060 to 4081 after removal of omega 3.4's at stock speeds. A clean install was performed with the latest cab cleaner and driver cleaner. Driver was dl'ed from ATi's site.
You could've saved a lot of time if you just restored your system drive from an image file. Clean install takes too long!!:dead:
