<blockquote>Performance Improvement As with most Catalyst® releases, performance has increased in various situations. Improved shader compiler and transform engine optimizations have led to many significant performance gains in OpenGL applications across the entire Radeon® X1000 series of products. These include:<ul><li>Doom 3 performance improves as much as 6.5%</li><li>Quake 4 (v1.2 or higher) performance improves as much as 18%</li><li>Chronicles of Riddick performance improves as much as 20%. Average improvements of 5-10% are commonly seen</li><li>Prey performance improves as much as 16%</li></ul>Optimizations made to ATI's graphics memory manager have led to significant gains in DirectX applications that make heavy use of graphics memory on 256MB ATI graphics cards:<ul><li>3DMark06 performance improves as much as 22% on single ATI Radeon® X1000 series cards with 256MB of graphics memory at 1280x1024 and higher when anti-aliasing is enabled. The largest gains are found on the ATI Radeon® X1800 series and ATI Radeon® X1900 series of products</li><li>Call of Duty 2 performance improves as much as 30% on single ATI Radeon® X550 cards or higher with 256MB of video memory at 1280x1024 and higher when anti-aliasing enabled.

Aha, Performance haben sie also irgendwo gefunden.
Die Frage ist, ob das die Treiberleute gefunden haben oder die Marketingabteilung. Schau'n wir mal... *lol*

Sir Ulli · 19.08.2006

neuer Vesuch

aber immer das net Framework zu installieren

erinnert mich an alte Zeiten

Sorry for Of Topic

aber damals, zu alten Zeiten, mit nem 2.400 Baud Modem waren die Treiber nicht so gross, und es lief auch alles....

kann er mittlereweile kaum glauben das man sich 20-30 MB laden muss für nen aktuellen Grafiktreiber....

Ich für meinen Teil bin mehr als superzufriedener Nutzer der Omega-Treibers und den sehr mächtigen (und wesentlich schlankeren) Ati-Tray-Tools und dabei wird´s auch bleiben!

Komortabler, kleiner, mächtiger - warum denn dann die original-Treiber samt CCC und Frame-Geschisse verwenden?

Ole · 19.08.2006

Weil ich finde, dass die Kombination Originaltreiber + ATT die beste ist.

Und was mich erstaunt: Die Treiberleute scheinen tatsächlich noch Performance gefunden zu haben: Prey läuft subjektiv flüssiger. X1800XT 512MB 1280, 4x, 8x. Bin erstaunt.

Der Schlitzer · 19.08.2006

Also wenn man die Linux-Treiber sieht, wird einem wieder ganz anders. In dem Saftladen muss AMD ordentlich aufräumen...

Der_Kanzler · 19.08.2006

ja der linuxtreiber is ne katastrophe, wenn ich den installier geht gar nix mehr, ich bekomm nen version mismatch da scheinen die wohl einige pakete durcheinandergebracht zu haben ...

Seit dem 6.7er funzen bei mir keine OpenGL Spiele mehr. Kurz n grauner Schirm und dann crash to desktop

War evtl. der Flash @XT doch nich 100%ig erfolgreich *kopfkratz

Sowas kann durch geänderte Renderpfade bei ner anderen Treiberversion schomal erst dann auffallen...

Unwahrscheinlich. Die Karte wurde von mad-moxx mit 16P verkauft, ich hab nur den Takt angehoben und die Device ID auf XT geändert.
Was sollen eigentlich die Renderpfade damit zu tun haben? Ob Pro, XT oder auch nicht, R420 bleibt R420 und damit auch der Renderpfad. Und unter welchem Namen die Karte in Windows erkannt wird, ist für den Pfad ziemlich Hupe.
Die OpenGL Dateien vom Cat 6.6 haben auch keine Besserung gebracht; scheint so als müsste ich auf den Katalysator 6.9 warten.

Wenn es bei anderen problemlos läuft (und das tut es) und bei Dir nicht, noch dazu bei einer gemodeten Karte, dann wäre wirklich das allerletzte, auf das ich tippen würde ein nicht funktionierender Originaltreiber...

@krümelmonster: Dann wend Dich doch an Mad-moxx - aber es kann gut sein, dass die freigeschalteten Pipes mit erhöhtem Takt nich gscheit funzen! Und ne Änderung der Device-ID is auch nich ohne Risiko - Du weißt nie, was der Treiber dann erkennt und macht und somit isses also ganz und garnich "Hupe"... Is ja auch völlig sinnlos - außer, um auf der LAN zu prollen.
--> Flash mal das Original-Bios von Mad-moxx zurück und schau, was sich dann tut! Vorher die Schuld auf den Treiber zu schieben, is absoluter DAU-Alarm!!!

Wo hast denn die Halbwahrheit her? Entweder funzen die Pipes oder nicht, das ist unabhängig vom Takt. Außerdem liegen die momentanen Taktraten ~30-40 MHz unter dem von ATITool ermittelten Maximum.

Und ne Änderung der Device-ID is auch nich ohne Risiko - Du weißt nie, was der Treiber dann erkennt und macht...

Na sicher weiß ich das, schließlich hab ich mich dazu belesen. Solange man in einer Chipfamilie bleibt (R420, R430, R480 etc.), hat das Ändern der DeviceID keine negativen Auswirkungen.

Flash mal das Original-Bios von Mad-moxx zurück und schau, was sich dann tut!

Auf der Karte läuft das mad-moxx Bios. Ob nun mit der Pro oder XT DeviceID ist unwichtig, ist ja schließlich nur ne kosmetische und keine technische Änderung.

Vorher die Schuld auf den Treiber zu schieben, is absoluter DAU-Alarm!!!

Wenn du meinst...für mich ist das mehrfache Setzen von Satzzeichen ein sicheres Indiz für'n DAU.

Nobody is perfect, auch ATI nicht.

Die Device-ID is SEHR WOHL wichtig für den Treiber, um zu entscheiden, welches Feintuning hinsichtlich so mancher Parameter bei der Ansprache der Graka vorgenommen wird - aber Du weißt das ja besser...

Nö, da stimme ich dir 100%ig zu. Wenn ich meiner X800 Pro (R420 Kern) die DeviceID einer X800 XL (R430 Kern) geben würde, dann wären Probleme auf jeden Fall vorprogrammiert, und das wahrscheinlich nicht nur mit bestimmten Treibern und nur unter OpenGL, sondern generell.
Allerdings basieren sowohl die X800 Pro, XT und XP-PE alle auf dem gleichen R420 Kern (bei AGP); die einzigen Unterschiede sind die Taktraten und die Pipelineanzahl. Und diese beiden Eigenschaften sind für den Treiberzugriff auf die Karte komplett unwichtig, da der Treiber nur zwischen den verschiedenen Kernen unterscheidet und nicht zwischen Taktraten und Pipelines.

Sry - ich weiß, was ich weiß und für Beratungsresistente is mir meine Zeit zu schade! Frag doch Hector Ruiz - der is ja jetzt Ober-Chef von ATI und vielleicht glaubstes ja dem!

Kein Problem, du mußt dich nicht entschuldigen wenn du was Neues dazulernst.

Ich glaub übrigens nicht das sich der Präsident von AMD/ATI mit Treiberzeugs und DeviceIDs auskennt, der Mann hat Wichtigeres zun tun.

boidsen · 20.08.2006

Oh Mann...

Der Treiber unterscheidet doch nich nur zwischen den GPU-Typen, sondern auch zwischen deren Revisionen innerhalb eines Typs, zwischen den unterschiedlichen Graka-RAM-Typen und noch einigem mehr (z.B. dem PCB-Layout einschl. der Spannungsversorgung)! Und das alles erkennter an der Device-ID...

BTW: Er könnte sich schon auskennen

kruemelmonster52 · 20.08.2006

Das ist schlicht und einfach falsch. Zugriffe auf das RAM ,Spannungsversorgung und Lüftersteuerung werden vom Bios geregelt und lassen sich z.B. mit RaBiT bearbeiten.
Und statt mit Halbwissen um dich zu werfen, solltest du dir mal die .inf Datei des Cat zu Gemüte führen: die ersten 20% sind nur für die Zuweisung DeviceID -> Anzeige des Names der Karte in Windows, und in den restlichen 80% werden ausschließlich die verschiedenen Kerne behandelt. Oh Mann!

Ole · 20.08.2006

Du hast eine komplett umgemodelte Karte, die plötzlich Fehler auswirft. Und schuld ist ein Treiber, der scheinbar bei allen anderen funktioniert, offiziell ist und sogar Verbesserungen bringt (zumindest subjektiv).

Und jetzt ist der Treiber schuld, weil auf deiner komplett verbastelten Hardware was nicht geht. Ist klar.

boidsen · 20.08.2006

Lassmers einfach - er wills nich begreifen...

kruemelmonster52 · 20.08.2006

Was ihr anscheinend nicht begreifen wollt, ist das modifizierte Karten nicht automatisch eine Fehlerquelle darstellen, aber anscheinend begreift ihr die Reichweite der Modifikation einfach nicht.

@Mod: Sorry wegen OT

Arno78 · 20.08.2006

Mich würde noch interessieren ob ihr wircklich eine Preformance steigerung habt.

Ich benutze die Omega Treiber

Habe aber wenig lust die zu deninstallieren dann die Originalen ATI wieder zu installieren

Drum bitte ein paar Antworten

Lutscher · 20.08.2006

Ne habe sogar weniger Performance als voher, aufgefallen ist es mir bei CS:S, habe dann mal den alten 3DMark 2001 durchlaufen lassen und siehe da: 1000Punkte weniger als voher.
