Release Notes

 

[Bateluer]

Hopefully AT or FS willl run some good D3 benches using these drivers.

 

[Noid]

thx mega

 

[Megatomic]

NP man. I have them installed now, I'm going to test them over the course of the evening. I'll have to watch Hero first, though.

 

[Noid]

wow ...

I got almost 300 more points in 3d01se

I never thought my NF7-S and r9700pro would reach 20k
But, it may be possible afterall ...!

 

[Megatomic]

GO! GO! GO!

 

[Elcs]

I only just downloaded the 4.8's 2-3 days ago and that CCC gave me headaches.

ATI needs slapped... although its always good to see software updates.

 

[PrayForDeath]

OMG, I am so exited about these drivers, but I'll have to wait for a looong time until I try them (Dial-up user )

 

[Megatomic]

Elcs, you don't need to use the CCC. I downloaded the package with the traditional control panel, it's only half the size of the driver set with the CCC in it.

PrayForDeath, perhaps you can get a buddy with cable/dsl to download this file and other things for you and burn it all to a CD?

 

[Noid]

130 more points in 3dM03

6,571

________- Edit __________

Well, I am currently downloading, it's gonna take +90 minutes, but I am leaving it on until it finishes.
Thanks for the advice anyway

 

[freeject]

Is it a good idea to use "Catalyst Control Center"? Is it worth having another background program?

 

[BW86]

weeeeeeee

 

[Keysplayr]

And please list all of the games that no longer work with the new 4.9's so everyone can be aware. Not being funny here. Just a heads up for ATI'ers

 

[n7]

I haven't even bothered to install the new control panel yet.

I guess i'll just install the 4.9s instead

 

[naruto1988]

sweet. hope this gives me more performance out of my radeon9800 pro. the switch from 4.7 to 4.8 gave me like 200 points in 3dmark03. maybe i'll reach 6k w/ my rig after all.

 

[Megatomic]

naruto1988, I get almost 6200 points with my rig. See my sig for details.

 

[naruto1988]

maybe it's my antivirus that could be hindering my system? i doubt it. i don't know. once i get my VGA silencer, i'm gonna flash to XT bios and overclock to XT speeds. then we'll see some real scores =)

as for the cat 4.9, my score is 5913. my 4.8 score was like 5947. still not 6k yet =( maybe 5.0 will do the trick?

 

[edmundoab]

sounds like a great driver so far. to those doom 3 people. hope this driver turn out great

 

[Megatomic]

Tomorrow I'll fire up games other than Doom 3 and see how they go. I'm thinking especially of KOTOR. I'd love to get smooth FPS at high resolution and IQ settings in that game.

That Resource Hog - DeuSex, Invisible War - needs all the "help" it can get - even with the patch . . . i am d/l'ing overnight and will install and report back tomorrow.

BTW, IF you installed the .NET frame from M$, there is a PATCH (not incorporated into the original .net d/l last week). . . . mine ran buggy till i got it.

 

[Megatomic]

I'm still using the older style control panel. I'm not comfortable with the new one yet. I'll wait for a few more revisions before I jump in.
