i picked up over 600 points in 2K1 and 300 points in 2K3. IQ does appear to be a little better, i haven't played any games yet though.

 

[homicsbane]

I think i need to reformat or somethin, now 3dmark is givin me under 11k!

Sweet, I'm about to install these. Glad they fixed the Half-Life bug, I still "lock-up" my computer all the time hehe

im running my system and card at 90% of its max and still get a 350 point increase in 2k1

im useing the 9800pro drivers also on my 9700np and was 380/702 for that run.

 

[Spyder_360]

I took a 1000 point hit in 2k1 and a 100 point hit in 2k3. I uninstalled everything related to ATI before installing the new drivers. I even uninstalled the drivers for my TV wonder. LOL

Edit: Just Reinstalled the Cat 3.2's and got my 1000 points back.

Yes!!! My half-life runs flawlessley now! No lockups or "Video card wallhacking" as I call it. It used to show through walls for like 5 seconds everyonce in awhile and my fps would go to like 3. But not its all fixed. Havent tried 3dmark, but even my windows looked better when I installed these. I love ati's new drivers, everyone get them now!

#5 spot in 3dmark2k1



phear my NP!

 

[funnyperson1]

fromt the rage3d it seems that many people have problems with slowness in CS/HL.

 

[Codeman05]

strange...my half-life still has that black screen bug in OpenGL....and when the buy menus are open (in Direct X) I get 6fps...the rest is fine.
WTF!!!!! lol

I installed them but haven't tried any games yet. I was more interested in the new Divx hardware acceleration feature that is finally available with these drivers.

Anyway I can say that it sucks hard thus far. When I turn it on it actually makes the videos more blurry. Has anyone else tried this out? You need version 2.1 of the Divx player to use it, then turn it on within the properties of the player.

 

[IR1]

Well I installed the 3.4's.... my 3dmark2k1 score did not budge. But my 3dmark2k3 score went up by about 350 points.

Gonna check out how they work in some games now.

Very cool so far.

 

[JeffnNetti]

Have only tried em with my radeon 8500LE so far but I went from the card rating 4% slower then a ti4200 to 1% above. 9482

I tried the HW acceleration with the Divx player. Seemed about the same as using WMP 6.4 and the codec at max quality. One thing of interest though: Using WMP and the software codec CPU use as 6-10%, and with hardware acceleration and the Divx Player it was 12-20%. It also couldn't play some older Divx content.

These new drivers are AWSOME..

here are the spec´s of my system on 3dmark03..

Asus P4B533-E
CPu P4 2400
512mb crucial 2100
rad 9700pro

When cpu was clocked at 2702 an rad at 360/324 i scored a meger 5084.. an that with everything in the drivers set at max performance

With these new drivers i just tested i had everything at default yep thats right DEFAULT.. no OC on cpu or Rad

I scored 4878.. not a bad score i think

Give it up for the Catalyst team.. excellent work guys

 

[kiltz]

great drivers. my lockups in vice city are gone.
ati also has the progie to remove smartgart on thier driver page for anyone who needs to use it.

 

[El<(')>Maxi]

Wish I could tell you all how much I like them Been trying to run a bench in 3Dmark01.........had about 10 go's so far, keep's crashing on Nature even running the stock GPU clock speeds.

However, this is with my old system....................K6-2 and a bunch of old hardware cept my Radeon 8500. Can't wait to try em when my RMA comes back

 

[The_Jizzler]

i keep getiing a crash in 3dmark01 as well. during the gargoyle carasel(spelling?) with these new drivers
