ATI CATALYST 02.3

Nachdem nVidia mit dem Detonator 40 für viel Wirbel mit angeblichen Performancesprüngen sorgte, legt nun ATI einen neuen CATALYST Treiber nach. ATI lässt es sich natürlich nicht nehmen besonders die Geschwindigkeitsvorteile bei einigen ausgesuchten Programmen zu betonen.

•Performance Improvements
–As with most CATALYST releases performance has increased in
various situations. Here are some examples observed in CATALYST 02.3:
o NHL 2002 scores are up 10-20% for RADEON 7000/7500/8500/9000 products
o Serious Sam performance is improved once again (8-12%) across all RADEON’s
o NASCAR 2002 performance is up 8% on the RADEON 9700 PRO
o Vertex Shader performance has been improved by approximately 20% for the RADEON 9000
PRO, resulting in a 3-5% gain in 3DMARK score.
