I have both an Asus GF4 Ti4200 128MB @300/640 and a retail Radeon 8500 128MB @312/306. Performance is very close between the two at higher resolutions. The Catalyst 2.5 driver gives me 1600 x 1200 options in all my games. The games in question include:
Giants
Janes WWII Fighters
Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed
Unreal Tournament
Now when I use the Detonator 30.82 I usually get a max of 1280 x 1024. Detonator 41.09 which is 1000 pts. faster in 3DMark 2001SE limits two of those games to 1024 x 768. While I can play 1280 x 960 with FSAA on 2X and get the same enjoyment as 1600 x 1200 with no FSAA, 1024 x 768 just isn't acceptable.
There must be a way to edit the 41.09 driver files to raise the available gaming resolutions. I have no idea how to do this, if anyone knows, could you please give me instructions?
Up until now I have given the nod to Nvidia for driver support, but I must say the Catalyst 2.5 seems to be working better. Congratulations ATI.
