    HEHE! I am headed that way. Damn, I have been checking there a few times a day.

    Why the heck can't I find that they have been released and be the one to tell everyone.

    Benchies, no. Subjective improvement - TrackIR is much smoother

    Well, this caught me by surprise so much that I had to give you guys a general idea before any numbers.

    As with all past Cat releases & benching, I used identical settings for the tweaks inside the th driver such as AA & AF, etc.

    One of two things has happened here. Either I missed it bad somewhere along the way. Or our m8s with the newer cards are finally going to get the drivers they deserve for the performance they have been searching for.

    As it stands, and this is just a rounding off and eyeballin', I am averaging about 14fps less than the previous drivers in the Black Death track.

    If this is truly the case, just as I have been saying the newer cards are just too much technology for this sim...well...now the drivers for the newer cards are just way too much for the older cards. And I bet when you put the two together, the HD2900XT & the HD3870 will be the smokin' cards that my X1950XTX was with the previous driver releases.

    Now I am going to go back & double check everything, come back & post some numbers.

    I sure hope that some m8s here find their performance the same if not better. That will tell me that I took a hard left somewhere & got lost, hehe.

    Hello,

    About 2 days i have upgraded to a ATI Radeon HD3870 from a very good running ATI Radeon X1950XTX, i needed more power . But now i have in Sturmovik some display corruption in The Black Death Track (and other tracks) at the scene where the FW190 gets downed by a LA and those crash together.

    The Display corruption appear in that moment where the camera switch to the position where we see the fronts of both planes.

    In all other games i dont have those display corruption, everything is fine (the only difference is those games are directx games).

    Have someone else the same troubles with the 7.11 as i? I can't test the 7.12 right now, i am at work.

    Thanks for answering!

    Quazi, use the RSS Feed link on the catalyst page for an email like notification

    I wonder if they have reverted back to working AGP cards on older technologies. Cats 7.4 - 7.11 have caused me hair loss I can't afford to loose!!

    Nope, you're right on track (pardon the pun)

    A 15 fps drop on my average in TBD, using the same settings as before, on my 1950Pro

    IQ also deteriorated and I've gone back to the 7.11s.

    I'll check to see if TIR performance has been lost in the roll-back.
