Ja, vet at de ikke stå der... men noen som har testet BiA og vet om man får flere fps ?

Ikke ennå, kan teste det senere i dag =)

[T2]

x64 versjonen er på plass også

[*Magnus*]

fikk ikke flere fps i bia nei

1.03 patchen skal gi noe bedre ytelse. Den har ihvertfall forbedret loading tiden betraktelig.

[*Magnus*]

ikke bedre ytelse her nei med 1.03.. heller ingen kortere loading time.. men har aldri hatt probs med den heller da

[MistaPi]

Mulig det gjelder for enkelte hardware konfigrasjoner da, det var ihvertfall som natt og dag her med henhold til loading tida.

har ikke testa den nye patchen, men i patch 1.02 var det iallefall en bug som gjorde at det tok 10 ganger så lang tid å loade om man aktiverte v-synch

Fra en test hos TweakTown, der de sammenlignet 5.2, 5.3 og 5.4.:

 

Catalyst 5.3 and 5.4 Performance - Page 7 [Conclusion]

 

 

Conclusion

 

You can see for yourself that there isn’t much off a difference between the three sets of drivers. The performance of the Catalyst drivers are well above average at the moment and it’s good to see that ATI have turned around and decided to spend the last few months on fixing problems with the latest and greatest games instead of just squeezing an extra few frames per second out of the latest games.

 

If you find that your favorite game has been added to the Resolved Issues list, you will find yourself updating though unless you upgrade every month for the sake of it, a lot of people will find themselves still sitting comfortable on the 5.2 release in February.

 

Until next month happy gaming!

Ah.. da er det nettopp det som har vært problemet hos meg da.

Hi Dave,

 

In case you haven't done the benchmarking yet & for your information:

 

ATI released new drivers today

(wxp-w2k-catalyst-8-121-050322a-022141c.exe). These do not only resolve some depth buffer corruption, but also enable "hardware shadow mapping" in the game (only available on PS 2.0 hardware). This should give some performance improvements.

 

Regards,

Michael (Ubisoft)

Dette gjelder Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

[*Magnus*]

muhaha.. har jo PS2 basert 3d kort (9800pro) testet SC3 i går med 5.4 tenkte ikke over fps økning osv.. kanskje coop'en ikke lagger så mye nå?
